In that regard, it's more attractive to somebody that doesn't already own Apocalypse to spend a little bit more money, get 5-6 MORE figures and get a BAF Apocalypse. At least, that makes sense to me.

I could see skipping out on the wave and just buying the BAF if it happened to be one of those scenarios where you're only buying the wave for the BAF and don't care about any of the other figures. But if they're putting a Jim Lee Rogue in the next X-Men Wave, I would imagine this wave is going to contain a lot of other fan-requested characters as well.

Would ML collectors rather have a new Sauron BAF with the ability to go back and get an older APOC BAF OR a new Apoc BAF that could easily be just a larger figure in the wave? AND still no Sauron, Strong GUy, Sugarman, Nimrod or something new people are dying for.

Also not sure if you guys read that Hasbro is trying to make bigger BAFs in the upcoming waves, more like Hulkbuster size and bigger. So that's why I say a 12" Apoc would be pointless.
