Sometime around May or June, maybe July, we'll see wave 3 start to show up online, but it will likely include one each of Widow and Hawkeye, and 3 more each of Cap, Thor, and Iron Man, so exactly 4 cases will ever make it out to retail. The Widow and Hawkeye will sell for $50 each on ebay. Then around next Christmas, wave 4, which will be all glow in the dark repaints of Thor, Cap and Iron Man, will start to hit Toys R Us. Then the next Marvel movie will come out, and the entire process will start over again.

Sir I would like to know which of the dark arts you follow to gain such wise and powerful knowledge. How is it possible that one lone consumer can so elliquently predict what hundreds of thousands of dollars in Hasbro's marketing budget can not. It's like you've some how gone forward in time-and returned to give us all knowledge of what the toy isles will look like one year from now. lol

This whole sinario is what's making people quit collecting MU. But then again collectors are not the primary focus. Yet with lines like MOTUC which is dependent on collectors we still get jerked around. I only want that Ultimates Thor and Loki. The rest can and will sit thanks to the Fallen One. Thanks for the great read and prediction.
