I think availability is offset by the ordering systems of each store. Depending on who is in charge of procuring more inventory, the selection will vary. If there is a lot pegwarming, they aren't going to order more. Some stores don't put much focus on their toy departments without specific holidays necessitating it. I believe Hasbro does have some representatives that show up sometimes to check brand presence but I'm not sure if that hits all stores and there is probably some serious math involved.


I will say that I've personally seen Avengers and Spider-man stuff sell far more than X-men stuff. I've just seen that collectors and scalpers are more likely to buy everything at once while the average parent is more likely to buy a single Captain America or Iron Man figure. A store will probably sell like 2-3 cases of movie figures for every 1 X-men case once the rush for a new wave dies down.

The Black Widow movie being delayed probably hurt the toy line in that aspect so I wouldn't be surprised if this wave pops up again around the time the movie gets an actual release.
