Its because of the Insane-o way that Mattel does case assortments now, you only get half a wave per case and "allstar" figures filling the rest, so a case assortment on wave 11 looks like this.
Case assortment#1
Katma Tui X2
Shark X2
Deadman X2 random version
Steppenwolf X2 random version
Batman X1
Superman X1
Assortment #2
GL John Stewart X2
Question X2
Sinestro Corp Cy Supes X2
Deadman x1 random
Steppenwolf X1 random
Batman X1
Superman X1
Its stuff like this that made wave 8 so difficult to find as the assortment with Gentleman Ghost and Hawk Girl was Mystically rare.
So what ends up happening as retailers don't differentiate between case assortments , they just see stock, and as a result some areas get one part of the wave others dont, its kind of a craps shoot.
Here in Ga I found the first assortment but not the second , and to avoid a Wave 8 Scenario I bought Gl, Cy Supes and Question online, which I dislike doing, as The hunt is part of the hobby for me.
I'm also seeing this trend with wave 12 as I have found all but Mary Batson, Copper Head, and Iron at retail.
The logic on this eludes me. I would guess Mattel is doing it to create a false sense of urgency that can easily backfire on us if were not really diligent. (see wave 8)
