How come Transformers ROTF Jetfire Leader Class is so HARD to find?

Is it no longer available or what?How come Transformers ROTF Jetfire Leader Class is so HARD to find?maybe no longer availbleHow come Transformers ROTF Jetfire Leader Class is so HARD to find?actually, bewhite, thats incorrect. i work in BOH and i can tell you, each box comes with a set of either megatron or optimus prime. Thus far ( and ive cracked open A LOT of boxes ) i have found 0 jetfires. The boxes that we receive from hasbro ( more importantly, its a pallet with MANY boxes ( set of 2 transformers per box, with it being of the same character in that box, ie 2 megatrons in a box, or 2 optimus primes in a box ).



And i got a fresh pallet the other day, with the title " assrt MV2 leader class ", and NONE of them had it. ( i cut the top, but i still scan them in sections so its easier for other BOH guys to find the correct transformers without having to go back and forth ).



my insight at working BOH for the last year is that a)it the work order is overloaded, and they thought the figure wasn't going to be sought after as megatron and optimus prime is, or b) they're saving the best for last ( both megatron and optimus prime are completely revamped molds, though, so it was a win-win either way ).



since the movie debuted, ive cracked almost 300 boxes that were related to transformers. only notables is about 20 devastators.How come Transformers ROTF Jetfire Leader Class is so HARD to find?Jetfire is just more popular he is still available but really hard to find.

i've heard people say that they got them at walmart. but i got mine at target.

now there is planning of releasing three more versions of movie jetfire.

which might make the original easier to find b/c they will want to stock the new ones but thats not for certain.

my only advice is that you search every available store that carries transformers.

even kmart i don't know how popular kmart is where you live but it's not real popular where i live. sometimes the less none stores have the harder to find toys b/c people don't always think about looking there.How come Transformers ROTF Jetfire Leader Class is so HARD to find?
Because it is in certain cases. Somewhere on the side of the case/box (the box that they are shipped in to companies contain two figures) there is an assortment number/string of numbers and letters. Most of them come with one Megatron and one Optimus Prime or two of the same figure. So if you get the assortment number from one of those cases you would then have to find another one that is different. Which wouldn't necessarily be the one that would contain Jetfire, but would be a better chance of containing him.



He is also much larger than Megatron and Optimus which would make him more popular. I would imagine that he would be more rare and sought after than Megatron and Optimus would.



You can go to the Hasbro website and buy him from there. But they are also out of stock as well. You could contact Hasbro to find out the exact reason.



EDIT: I emailed Hasbro Toys and they had this to say:

So there you have is, straight from the horses mouth. And I've opened only five cases of leaders and three of which contained a Megatron/Optimus combo, so bite me.
