Ok...so in my usual journeys to the WalMarts, Targets and TRUs of the world, I've noticed something which concerns me going forward.

If you look at the remnants of the IM2 series...I have never seen the last wave (Stark Racing Armor, Mandarin, Comic Whiplash, etc) in stores, nor have I yet seen the new 3.75 Armored Avenger line with 11 figs! Now we all know the pegs are backed up, but every store I have seen has not restocked IM2/Armored Avenger since well before the holidays. Same holds true for Spider-Man. The pegs got so backed up with the snowboarding spidey or ninja spidey, etc. that only some realeased the Ben Reilly and Carnage wave, let alone the NINE new ones that came out.

My concern with this is Thor and Cap America. They may not be hugely cool or popular lines, but for collectors, we all know the difference between retail and scalpers. So yes, we've all seen the excessive amounts of Thor, and likely will with the first wave of Cap. But, I believe the last wave of Cap hits August...and at that point will retailers even bother?

Thoughts?
