I know that everyone wants Rogue, Magneto, Sabretooth and Cyclops (and rightfully so) and you have to include Bishop given his role. But who would the last two spots be? Whoever is included, you'll get disappointed comments out of it: "We got an A.O.A. Magneto but not A.O.A. Quicksilver?" "No Storm? No Mystique? Just Rogue? Just one female character out of a new seven figures wave?" "I can't believe Sinister was left out! He was important to A.O.A.!" Get where I'm going with this?

Granted, they could always do more A.O.A. figures in solo releases as Fan Channel exclusives or put two or three A.O.A. figures in a future X-Men wave, but would that be acceptable? I'm all for more figures of a wave that everyone loves and wants more figures of, even if I myself don't like it. I'm curious to see what Hasbro does and who makes the cut.

That said, I'm disappointed the Classic X wave isn't X-Men Classics. I was hoping for the rumored Bishop, Stryfe and sold-separately classic Magneto for retro card releases. Toss in any version of Banshee, another female figure in need of a new non-Jim Lee uniform figure (Rogue, Psylocke, Jean Grey, etc.) and the inevitable Wolverine variant and that'd be fine with me. Ah, well. Maybe next time.

I'm still hoping Hasbro surprises us with more classic X-Men and of course more classic Spider-Man figures this year. Time will tell...

I totally understand what you're saying. I'm wondering though:

The rumor is 6 UPC/ISBN whatever the codes are and one separate code, which may be a deluxe figure.

Realistically, 4 of the 6 slots should already be taken by Rogue, Sabretooth, Magneto and Cyclops. No question. As much as I want more, ideally I'd take Storm as another slot because I want ALL the Storm looks, and Abyss and Nemesis as the last slot and BAF. But likely, they'll want to reuse Nightcrawler and this is a spot for him realistically. Leaving Nemesis as the BAF as more than likely than Abyss. Even more realistically, they'll put Dead Man Wade in, even though he could absolutely be saved for the next Deadpool wave.

Deluxe figure - while I'd take Abyss or Nemesis (whichever won't be the likely wave BAF), over this choice, this is probably going to be Iceman.

So predictions: Cyclops, Rogue, Magneto, Sabrebooth, Storm, Dead Man Wade/Nightcrawler: BAF Nemesis and Deluxe Iceman.

Somewhat humorously, I really want AoA Dazzler though, since that look is so different than her other two looks, and if she happened, who would have thought 5 years ago we'd end up with THREE Dazzler figures. She's gotta have cigarette accessory (Yeah I'm joking, that would never happen)

Okay, I know i've gone on and on about AoA so I'm going to try my very best to not talk about it again until we get some kind of confirmation it's coming. It could end up being that rumor is not true (Even though they've gotten almost rumor accurate), and it's all just wishlist talk, which admittedly I'm extremely good at LOL
