Symbiote--thanks, I forgot about the original wave order--still, I've never seen a wave that didn't show up on BBTS soon after hitting retail. It just speaks to MU's distribution problems if all of these figures are made and just waiting for release somewhere, and somehow a few found their way out to Walmarts before they were supposed to. China leaks I can see--but a national chain like Walmart? Weird.

As far as the line's future goes--I have nothing but well wishes for it to continue (especially as a contrast to the more mass-produced & aimed at kiddos lines), but it's been a great run. Not many toylines get a 4 year chance.

I did kind of buy the kool aid at the last toyfair with the idea that Vonner revealed so much of what was to come that they didn't have much new to show. Like Mike pointed out--we're almost there with all of the previous Vonner reveals at this point--so if nothing new shows up this year, it'll be a tough pill to swallow and a bad sign.

I'm optimistic and mildly artistic, so even if the line does end, MU will live on in my house for quite a while through cherry picking from other toy lines (even the kid lines) and making customs.
