The 1st PVC's that hit the US were found at stores like Walgreens and CVS. Heroes of Cyberton sold for $3.99 each and came in different "waves" or assortments.
Walgreens dropped the line after series 2, so finding series 3,4, and 5 became rather difficult for 50% of the country.
The line stopped at series 5, but a new Legends of Cybertron were recently released.
The material should be a bit better, and the biggest difference between the old "Heroes" and new "Legends" line? Legends can transform.
I have those and love them. I had to get most of mine on eBay or from Meijer when visiting here before we moved. I also found a ton of them for sale at Disney World. In fact, Disney World had quite the selection of Transformers when I was there last year.
I picked up the 4 Legends of Cybertron that are out (Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Hot Shot) at lunch today.
