Most Difficult Figure to Find
I was just wondering for those who have been able to find D-Day, DAK and Wermacht figures, which one has been the hardest to find?
I have found most of what I want and most of them are the German figures but the Sgt. Otto Wilndorff ( the one in the funky camo) is the hardest to find in my AO.

I have only come across Windorff once so far, as well. Russo and Jenkins have also been rather rare, at least around here. Richards and the artillery spotter were late to the game, but once they were out, they seemed to be everywhere around here. And no shortage of the DAK figures or the tankers.

Normandy---what a difference a few miles makes, I guess...the only steady trickle during the current XD drought out here in Suffolk has been a steady supply of D-Day figures, including plenty of Bucholtz...they're snatched up pretty quickly, but predictably the tankers move a little more slowly...stocks are low now, I wonder if we'll see another infusion...& let's see what all the TRUs on L.I. bring to the party...here's hopin'...!

I have found all the figures in my area by now, but the Bucholtz and Tracker Richards figures were the hardest to come by. For a few months, the first wave figures were the most plentiful - including the Windorf figure
The second wave then showed up, but went almost as quickly, only to re-appear again about a month ago. The second wave first showed without the Tracker or Bucholtz figure. Then one day, like magic, they were there as well. The Bucholtz figure actually disappeared the quickest from the latest restocks in my area. I guess his range-finder scope has some sort of appeal to other hidden collectors in my area!

Wermacht figures are the hardest here. We have plenty of d-day and dak figs though
