Makes sense really. With Toy Fair right around the corner for 2013 in February, skipping NYCC when this has been a very avengers heavy year sounds about right. Let's them start prepping for their next big thing and catch up on releases for a bit. Even with the accelerated releases, there's a pretty big backlog of comic packs, 3 packs, and singles cards starting to form.

Plus they've got to figure out how to wow retailers at toyfair and keep them ordering too so we can keep getting the figures. Now here's hoping they don't skip next year. We could use a break within the fandom though. Not on releases, but on exposure of what's to come.

The hype is building too much, and a reset button on that to come back strong next major fan showing would really help quiet much of those fears and fan rages.
