I always heard of other people sighting and getting the Ultra TM2s in Sydney, but I never found them. And the sightings were often 'short lived,' i.e. someone would say that they found a toy somewhere, but then later someone else would report that it was sold out soon after. So they weren't exactly shelf warming, according to reports. I spent about a freakin' year searching everywhere for the Ultra TM2s in Sydney, and never could find them. I'd often zip over to place where someone reported seeing it, but by the time I got there they'd be gone. It was just massively aggravating. Fortunately for me, Hasbro USA heard about my woes and graciously sent me both toys for free.
Its true both of those ultras were impossible to find. At the time they were meant to be out. I even called Hasbro asking if we are getting them here. They said no. So I imported them. Much later Megs showed up at Toy World for $20. Never saw a Tigerhawlk though.
I still would count them as rare. Megs never got released like he should have.
Just gonna pipe on with a word on how much I love both tm2 megs and tiger hawk.
Spiggly.

Another Sydney-sider and never saw either TM2 Megs or Tigerhawk, and I was on the hunt for them as well at the time!
I did manage to pick up a couple of the Beast Machines black recolour/mold of Tigerhawk, but never the original until only recently -- and at one hell of an inflated price!
I'm really hoping there'll be a re-release with the 20th anniversary of BW next year!
Never saw TM2 Megs in Canberra & I snatched up every Beast Wars figure I could when they were released. I have Megs towering over Cybertron (Primus in planet mode), He looks quite intimidating!
