But if there is one thing Hasbro is getting better at and that is pissing everyone off.

My point is that Marvel is the one selling the figures. Hasbro may very well had them for Marvel and ready to go ... but Marvel wanted to sell through their stock of Doom figures first. (That's not just my guess - that is what Marvelous News is suggesting.) In other words, Hasbro went with what they knew - that Marvel wanted this new figure for NYCC and so they made it. They can't control what Marvel does after.

About the waves: you do realize some of that is retail asking them to hold off on releasing the figures. As it was, some of the waves indeed were released by the dates on the cards - just not in the US or not consistently. Most assume that the Avengers and Spider-Man caused a change. I guess you could get upset about the dates being wrong, but I tend to get MORE upset figures like Sif and Heimdall that don't make it to retail at all! As long as they get to local stores, I can't complain because there are some many people who could cause them to be delayed - not the least, the stock room kid who is lazy and doesn't want to put out more toys.

Personally, I try not to let something trivial like an action figure get my blood pressure up when there is so much more going on that is far more important.
