Hasbro wouldn't want to wait, but retailers might if they don't have the space and won't clearance product during the holiday season. They could be January fill ins when product clearances out.

Figure quality going up does not equal increased cost. A lot of it has to do with just getting better at the process. They have a large library of body parts to work with now, so we can get a couple more truly unique figures each wave because the rest of the wave is using old parts already paid for in an earlier wave.
