i think he is more harder to find due to the way hasbro sent out the waves and assortments(wave 1 assortment 1/wave 1 assortment 2 etc).give it time and you should see plently on the shelves when stores start clearing out their storerooms.

Practically: Hard-to-find and rare is the same, but to answer your question, yes.

He's only hard to find right now because he's fairly new (there has been a newer wave out since he first hit shelves)
Give it time and he'll be as common as most of the others, heck, I remember when everyone was saying Pit Commando was super rare and hard to find....one's been warming the peg at my TRU for about 2 weeks or longer now.. This is a movie line, there aren't really going to be any "rare" figures like we saw with the 25th line (IE: Yellow Stalker, Black Timber SE, etc...) |

The issue is stores' pegs are packed with the earlier stuff. There's probably as many Doctors as there are Neo Viper figures. The difference is the Neo Vipers are clogging the pegs and the Doctors are setting in a warehouse somewhere.

Yeah I don't think the Doctors are even at the store level yet. I work at a Target and we have quite a few ROC figures in the back, but they are the earlier waves and we have to keep putting them out before we get new stuff. I think the Doctors are in distribution centers or still at Hasbro.

Additionally, most US Walmart stores are now on this "backroom" program that is similar to the one used by Target. New figures won't start coming in until the back stock is sold. Any stores carrying new figures either sold wave 1 &2 figures like hotcakes or as I suspect are just manually ordering figures to appease the frustrated collectors.
