I don't want to say rare but he's not common either. I'd say uncommon. I mostly see the Autobots, all three of them, rather than the Decipticons but I have seen Starscream a few times. I'd say he's the hardest to come by of the TF Muggs but he's not super rare.

Who's harder to find, Starscream or Doc Ock?

(I know Doc Ock isn't in the same line of Muggs, but I need some input on the two in comparison.)

I run into Doc Ock more often than Starscream but that may be different in your area.

That's what most have been saying. But at the same time Starscream seems to be available online cheaper than Doc, which is weird.

Thanks for the advice.

when he first came out a month or two ago, whenever that was, he was all over the place, now though, they never restocked, so he's hard to find. although, they haven't restocked anything so i would be hard pressed to find anything other than a duke, grand moff tarkin or hoth han right about now.

Where I live Starscream is common for the time being. Toysrus and Urban Outfitters seem to be well stocked with him. Soundwave and Megatron are getting harder to find where I am. I did notice Kmart had a case of wave 1 transformers the other day. They were listed as $12.99 each.

starscream is the hardest transformer mugg to find in my area.
they had plenty of optimus and bumblebee for a long time i think because they were in two waves. I do like the looks of soundwave and grimlock though. I think it's the smile the starscream mugg has that makes him a favorite....

Rare now. When he first came out pretty common though.

I had to cross state lines to find Starscream and Grimlock initially. But the Urban Outfitters at King of Prussia mall have him in droves.(for 20 bucks, though) That's where I got my double of SS. I collect Starscreams, so I needed I could keep MIB.

I just returned some stuff at TRU and ended up picking up Starscream for $6 out of my pocket. Figured he's worth picking up now, as there were only two of him left at the store and it seems like he will only get harder to find.

Thanks for all the info everyone.

The same TRU I picked up Starscream from had a Grimlock too, but I didn't pick him up.

That's what your conscience might be telling you, but my wallet was saying otherwise lol

Does anyone know a rough idea of the production numbers for the different lines? and what figures have the lowest case pack numbers?

I have only seen one and I've been to four different states and probably 50 stores. I bought it and glad I did!

TF wave 1

optimus, bumblebee, megatron, soundwave

TF wave 2

optimus, bumblebee, starscream, grimlock

TF wave 3

Jazz, shockwave both cancelled for now

TF movie muggs

optimus, bumblebee


I think they cancelled the tf vintage versions sometime through wave two. so as far as rarity goes it would be starscream, grimlock, megatron, soundwave then optimus and bumblebee being least rare. Although there was a jazz up for auction in china in a beat up box a while back.

Wait has anyone here bought a case to check on short packs?

I assumed (maybe incorrectly) that they were all evenly packed and it was just a matter of beating other fans to it.

yes harder to find and greater demand for him.
