For me it was the later Renegades figures (Law, Airtight, Lifeline, Sci Fi etc.) and the Ultimate Retaliation figures. Never saw any of them at normal retail, but ended up finding a second hand Airtight for $15 randomly in 2016 at an action figure store while on vacation in Canada.

In the eight years Hasbro had ME products in brick & mortar, the only item I never saw on the shelves was that blasted DVD Battles Set #5 “Best of Episodes”.
I remember reading here on Hisstank how they were popping up in the Midwest. Majority of us on the West Coast were going crazy as to when would they pop up out here. Luckily, a local ‘tanker had a few that his mom shipped from Texas. I trade a SDCC “Pimp Daddy Destro” for a set. And we’ve been friends ever since.

Version 2 Snake Eyes back when I was a kid. Never did find him. As an adult, my hardest figure is the one that I passed up the first time only to never find again, or have to search high and low for. Toys R US exclusives mainly. Man I've kicked myself for the "I'll get it next time"

Yeah, but we don't have 5 Belows here in Utah... we're only now getting more Dollar Generals.

Retaliation Night-Viper. I was super diligent about finding him, and only one figure of him ever showed up; plus I think it was at a random, out of town Walgreens where I got him.
I would've said the Mass Device pack with Alpine, but eventually they re-released him, so I guess he doesn't count. I scoured SO many Marshall's to find that pack, though. |

It was luck, I was leaving a Walmart while looking for that Alpine DVD pack and noticed it sitting in the area with the TV stands and other furniture on my way out.
At the time I had no idea how hard it was going to be to find it.

For such an old toy company, it doesn't make any sense that they would have such problems with distribution into their sales channels. Really weird.

My only regret was not picking up any army builders at Five Below when they were available. Did manage to get Kwinn, Ultimate Firefly, Ultimate Storm Shadow, Snakes and a few others there though. Now if I want Night Vipers they're 25 a pop minimum.

Ugh, everytime I have to pay $10+ for a fodder figure online I think back to all these figures I saw at Five Below and Ollie's when I wasn't interested on doing 3.75 customs back then and want to cry.
