No, I don't think the first GOTG wave will be hard to find at retail. What I think makes the distribution side hard is that the legends seem to be classified by brand, ie, (and I may have these abbreviations wrong but they will serve their purpose for explanation) all Spider-Man waves are SPD, all Avengers are AVR, X-Men are XMN, and so forth.

So when retail looks at their stock, they see they have 20 figures of the SPD variety, regardless of if it's the Sandman wave or the Absorbing Man wave (which is what is currently shelfwarming in my area.) As of right now, the stores should not have any or very very few GOG (Guardians) wave on the shelfs, freeing up their orders for waves of those. This is why the Dr. Strange and X-Men wave (minus Wolverine and Deadpool) were fairly easy to find, there was nothing noted on the shelves for their brands.

I would be more worried about finding waves 2 and 3 of GOTG2 than this first one. You can expect the same scenario to happen with the Thor wave(2).


Also so cool that the X-Men wave is coming up for preorder on sites now. I am worried it will be hard to find at retail, given we have XMN brand on the shelves, but as I'm totally going to order that online, it's not so much a concern for me but for those who dont' order online.
