That wave (which I typically just call the Revan wave) fascinates me. Firstly because of the lineup: Revan (thank you fan polls), Sabine, Snowtrooper, AT-AT pilot, Ben, and Leia (even though her first head sculpt was trash) constitute one of the only waves I've ever completed, although with Ben and Leia I technically waited for the 40th anniversary figures but they were still the same toys except for Leia's revised head. Secondly because for whatever culmination of reasons the wave was, as you say here, near nonexistent at retail and given the character lineup that blows my mind. I only saw this wave while all the figures were new once ever which was at a Thinkgeek store and even then they didn't get Revan or Sabine at all, I was present when the employee was stocking the figures fresh out of the back room. The easiest conjecture to form is that since the Rogue One figures were totally stagnant retailers weren't in a rush to order the next wave. Hasbro's follow-up to this situation was apparently to do nothing for the longest time and so Revan has almost always had ridiculous aftermarket prices while Sabine has never really been cheap. To Hasbro's credit they eventually repacked four of the figures into later waves and it appears they are now finally redistributing Revan at least to online stores.
