Well that's actually a pretty hard question. You see Playmates is pretty good with re-shipping figures in later waves so everyone has a chance to get them. SO if you miss them the first time around, you will usually get another chance. Although I have noticed certain figures only came back time and time again Like April, Splinter, Shredder, Casey and all the Turtles. Also at first the Foot Tech Ninja seemed like it was the hardest to find, but they reshipped him in a later wave and I think everyone was able to get them.
Right now I have noticed a lot of people looking for the Foot Fire Mystic (who I think only had a short reship when the stickers started showing up on the bubble) and oddly enough Nanobot. A few of the ones to keep an eye out for though are 4 Armed Shredder, Usagi Yojimbo, Dr. Malignus (I don't see him getting released again), Utroms and Leatherhead. They have all been released this past year, but I haven't seen them getting reshipped with new stuff. Stonebiter and Razorfist both got reshipped, but Leatherhead didn't and he was included in the initial release of them.
As with the newest figures I would suspect the Battle Nexus stuff not getting reshipped (at least not ones like Butterfly Swords, Dark Assasin and Drako, who will probably get an updated Ult. Drako eventually). If I were you I would try and keep up as figures besides the Turtles are released. It really doesn't end up being much money if you try and stay away from the variants. With Walmart and Target constantly having them under 5$ you really can't beat it.
Plus Playmates is really good with when they are in a lull of new figures, like right now, they make sure that enough figures do get out there for everyone. So right before new figures are released you should still be able to find the previous wave. Notice how the B/S/T forum here hardly moves? Well compare that to a Marvel Legends board and you have a complete difference. Reason being Playmates makes stuff avalaible for everyone and we really hardly need help finding stuff.
Sorry this was so long, but in the end what I would do if I were you is just try and get some loose lots on ebay or even find them this summer at yard sales (kids are fickle, I'm sure we'll find plenty) if you weren't trying to spend much money. That way you could get pretty much every figure released and fairly cheap too.
Good luck and I hope this helps in some ways.
