Some of the earlier figures are very hard to find now and if you do find them it is probably because that shop sells them at a high price and never reduces them

You could start your own thread in the Bumblebee Toyscout section.. just list what you are still looking for.

Also, when the hunt becomes a chore I start calling the stores in advance to see if they have the figure I am looking for. You may have a Target, BigW, Kmart, Myer, David Jones, Toys'r'us and others you can call..

And then you still have online stores and services you can try..
