Wondering which of the ROC figs are going to be hardest to find.

Based on Brian's Toys Pricing (please do not let this thread be a price-bashing fest...)

Listed at 14.99 each (top price) are:
Baroness, attack on the Pit
Destro
Scarlett Desert Ambush
Ice Viper (may be due to army builder pricing)
Duke Accelerator suit
Agent Helix
General Hawk (single)
Cobra Eel

Your thoughts on who is going to be tough to find at retail?
Sounds like Destro is tough to find already.

Scarlett Desert Ambush I'd say definitely. So far she has been announced in one case only, not in any revision cases or future waves. Here are a few like that:

Scarlett Desert Ambush C1W2
Ice-Viper Arctic Assault C1W2
Para-Viper Cobra Paratrooper C1W3
Baroness Paris Pursuit C1W3
Duke Delta-6 Accelerator Suit C1W3
Rex "The Doctor" Lewis Chief Experimental Doctor C1W3
Ripcord Reactive Impact Armor C1W3
Snake Eyes Arctic Assault C1W3
Storm Shadow Arctic Assault C1W3
Cobra Commander C1W2
Duke Reactive Impact Armor C1W2
Snake Eyes Paris Pursuit C1W2

Hopefully these will be in future revision cases, but so far all of these are short packed.

I think that The Doctor is going to be tough to find. The Pit Commando is going to sell really well, so that will take a little luck, like with the 25th BATs and Snow Serpents. Figures like reactive armor Scarlett and Ice Viper sold out really fast on BBTS.

I saw gobbs of Destro last night. He may be popular, but they're certainly shipping him.

I saw about 6 Cobra Commanders at Target this morning.

I think these will all be relatively easy to find (assuming they are stocked) until your average kid starts wanting them after the movie comes out.
Pretty sure that 90% of the ones being bought thus far are from grown up nerds like myself.

Too early to tell. It all depends what gets repacked, what customers buy, etc. Right now, I'm sure alot of the "values" are driven by short-packed figures and scalpers reducing availability.

I saw about a dozen ice vipers today.

I haven't seen any yet, only Combat Heroes, so who knows?

After several trips to TRU and a few really well stocked Targets over the last week, I've yet to see Baroness, Desert Scarlett, or any of the figs from the later assortments like Flash, Helix, Eel, etc. I've only seen one Destro, and that was on the 4th right when they were put out. Target had loads of CC and Ice Viper.

Wait, really? Because I just bought one at Target and they had literally an entire peg of just Desert Ambush Scarlett, and several scattered throughout the other pegs, too.

They're all going to be, so buy them all and keep them MOC the way they're meant to be!!

Sike, they're making thousands of these. None will be.

This is why I hate toy distribution. Been to 4 stores that are stocking RoC (2 Target, 1 Wal mart, 1 TRU), and not a single figure from this wave could be found in any of them. Yet other parts of the country are drowning in this wave. When they sell enough of these to replenish, they'll probably ship more of the same case assortments to my area. I can understand one of the chains having bad distribution, but how is it that all three major chains are shipping the same two cases to my area?

I just wish that Hasbro would either a)ship one really big case with all of the figures in it; or b)get the retailers to assign each figure a stock number and ship small cases with only one figure type in the case. With the former, at least every area gets at least 1 of every figure. With the latter, the figures that sell would get restocked, while the figures that warm the pegs wouldn't block them.

Ok, just got back from Target, picked up Cover Girl, Shippy, and SE.
They had plenty of Dessert Dukes, Destros, Storm Shadows and Vipers.

No Target Exclusives. When are they supposed to hit?
