In the US? Unbelievably.  My area was CLOGGED with Rapid Runs and Treadbolts for weeks but I never saw ONE Ultra Magnus, my area started with the 1.5 assortments that had Tidal Wave and Scorponok.  And I wasn't the only one.  Even now an Ultra Magnus will go for some $60 on eBay.

 

And in one of the greatest ironies I can imagine, he shelfwarms in the UK.

Yup. I saw one, in a beat up box, which I bought immediately. I've never seen a Beachcomber or Omega Sentinel, however.
