Because of the revised case pack move from Hasbro, they've also pretty much eliminated "hard to find" figures, which is yet another reason to not buy into the initial rush. The "Black Widow Scalping" days seem to be mostly behind us...

Agreed. I remember buying the Ultimate Green Goblin wave piece by piece and searching quite awhile for Carnage, Black Cat and Agent Venom. Then I up and find a lot on Ebay 2 months later for 60 bucks or so for the whole wave plus Agent Venom. Gave me some nice cheap fodder though so that was nice. Of course this is also helped by the fact I have little desire for most of the figures from these waves.

Speaking of figures and upcoming waves, Hasbro is insane if they do not double-pack the Jim Lee Rogue for the first run of that wave. I would not be surprised to find that she is hard to get even double-packed since she is on so many want lists.

I really think part of it is also just the mentality of those doing the ordering in certain areas of the country. For instance they go "Oh my god, Avengers toys! They will sell like crazy so I should buy a dozen cases!". Then the store sits on 6-7 cases worth of the peg warmer double-packed figure and because they see they have a bunch of figures still, they do not order new waves. An employee at my local TRU told me TRU lists all of the Legends figures together in one big lot in their system so if they see they still have a lot of "Legends" figures on the peg they do not order more, even if it means they miss another wave. Apparently the buyers do not stock wave by wave. Hence why they still have 4 Winter Soldier figures on the peg at full price.
