Granted I got an extra Hawkeye but I have already seen some customs using him that make me want to try my hand at it as well.

I was considering buying the Spider-Man wave as well and while I am fine with a duplicate Spidey, the duplicate Anti-Venom (which I do not particularly want even one of) is also double-packed. Paying $140 for 6 figures instead of $160 for 8 did not seem worthwhile. If only the second double-pack was any of the other figures....

I definitely understand the preference to support retail but around here that is incredibly difficult. The closest Wal-Mart to me has a dozen Cosmic Iron Man figures warming the peg. Anyone who wants the GotG wave here is pretty SOL unless they go online.

I feel your pain man. We can't support retail if the retail is not there to support us. I'm not necessarily putting the blame on the Brick and Mortar stores directly either, it's likely a combination of them and Hasbro distribution, but somewhere along the way if 90% of what you're seeing is empty pegs, that's a problem.

In regards to online shopping I tend to use Amazon if I'm only wanting a few figures from the wave. I already have Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel because that's all I wanted from that wave. The wave 2 will be the same, only want Hellcat and maybe Batroc. Undecided on the Spider-man wave (Misty Knight's definitely a go though) and definitely considering doing a wave order with the Avengers 3rd wave. That Ant-Man wave though, will be preordered as a case of singles the moment the link is up. Too much awesomeness in that wave to not justify getting it as a set.
