As for "what's really going on." No company tells you that. Just look at mattel and their constantly changing answers or refusal to answer. There are dates where they can tell you stuff and until then, they really can't say a word on certain things. Sometimes marketing data will change answers too and product we weren't supposed to see at all, has found an outlet before they could tell us about it.

The same is true for all industries. Even DC and Marvel themselves who constantly have to say "new project but can't tell you what yet." Just like covers can randomly change over at and they'll not want to talk about why, all industries have these little hiccups. Including having info and pics or prototypes they can't always show.

That's just part of the biz.

As for distribution. That's a mixture of Hasbro case assortment packing (which is getting fixed around the Jubilee wave) and retailer demands. It's middleman syndrome. Hasbro knows what we want, but a retailer imposes demands. The retailer is the one trying to tell hasbro what they think the consumers want... Which yeah never works out right, but the retailers are the ones ordering the cases so hasbro has to listen. The same is true for all toy companies.

New wave about to hit?????? Well the Hasbro Orders for December have already been turned in. So the earliest would be January. That is not about to hit. Distribution still sucks, Have been in Houston the last month and have seen Very few of Wave 19, 20. In fact all I have seen on the pegs is a solitary Kraven and New Hulk. Maybe its just scalpers buying up the 1 case that did manage to make it here. LOL.
