Allow me to add to your sinking feeling.

If you look at the 4 inch figs case pics from SDCC puck, nova, and nighthawk all have fall 2012 as their release dates, yet those cases have yet to trickle out anywhere or even be announced as preorders. And I think we knew puck was coming, but nova and nighthawk were new reveals.

Prof x and Jubes were shown last year at NYCC yet they were shown in this years SDCC case with spring 2013 release date.

Despite all this prof x and Jubes somehow showed up in some NYC stores, the whole case showed up on robotkingdom's website a couple weeks ago and promptly sold out.

And the punisher wave, which is supposed to be after the beast wave, got delivered to amoktime before the beast wave?

I got the punisher case for 124 shipped. That's 10.33 a figure, my targets sell MU for 9-10 bucks. So for not much at all above retail, I got the whole case already, no gas or time wasted, no disappointment of seeing more gladiators and falcons clogging the pegs.

I just have a feeling that the distro issues are greater then we can all even imagine, and for 1.33 over the lowest retail cost of figures near me, it was a no brainer to order the case.

Plus I have two miles morales, bag head spideys, and upside down pkg variant beasts already. So I don't have to fight or overpay for those.

Maybe (probably) I'm wrong and this suff will hit the pegs soon, and be easy to get, but I just don't want to leave it to chance, I never saw clear vision or strange at retail, I never saw metal absorbing man at retail, and I can almost guarantee I'll never see upside down beast, bag spidey, or miles at retail. Which is probably just my own bad luck.

But now I don't have to worry about it.
