If we're talking about the Ultra Predacon Bruticus, its because he was a tail-end of the line figure and a lot of stores never receive the last wave of stuff like that.

If we're talking about the ROTF/Universe Energon Bruticus Maximus repaint, he's in the second wave of combiners and hasn't hit shelves stateside yet.

Latest Acquisitions: Battle Droid Commander/AAT, MP Skywarp
Currently Seeking: RPM Jolt/Mixmaster/Sideswipe, Electrostatic Soundwave

Tons of the Scourge repaint here. I didn't know he didn't make it to stores elsewhere.

The Ultras shelfwarmed for a while. Most stores probably passed on him because it would have been a repaint wave (Stormcloud, Bruticus). Probably the same reason Target changed from the Infernox2/Vectorx2 wave to the Infernox2/Overload/Leo Prime wave. More variety, new head and all.

A bitter question would be why the demand and supply of the Legends were so crappy since they were all new molds and sold fairly well. And no, that's not a mistype.

Stupid last wave syndrome.

I didn't want this repaint anyway, they should've gave him Hun-grr colors.
