am i being really stupid ive been round all the shops i can every week for a long time now even before the movie came out and i aint never seen a voyager ironhide , have i missed him ? if so i dont know know how but i figure he must be out by now ??

Probably just bad luck and timing. There have been at least two waves of these figures in shops in the last few months. it depends on which stores too.
Im sure there will be more on shelf soon for the christmas rush. Keep an eye out for Starscream too as they are part of the same case as far as I have seen.

I am having exactly the same problem! been lookin in all the shops at least once a week - woolworlths, argos, toys r us and on the web nothing i was in taiwan for 2.5 weeks but that was 6weeks ago did he come out then?
