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.

You should put this in a time capsule and re-read it in a year. I'd put money on you being right about it.

The real question is, how do we combat this situation? As collectors, we can't really buy boxes and boxes of Waves 1 and 2 just to ensure we get Wave 3 locally. Does anyone have any ideas?

Oh, and I wanted to mention that there is a glaring plot point spoiler on Cosmic Spear Loki's spear. Don't look too close or you'll get spoiled.
