Way back when the line was first relaunched, Hasbro admitted they like to time waves to coincide with movies, and I think the fact that Marvel is now doing three films a year is gonna eat up a lot of the schedule. You have a set number of waves per year and in 2018 you're gonna have to have one for Ant-Man & The Wasp (with an MCU Wasp figure for sure), one for Black Panther, and probably at least two (just going off past trends for Age of Ultron and Civil War) for Avengers: Infinity War. We are probably also getting a second Defenders wave to finish off the Netflix characters they've yet to do (Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and maybe a wildcard like Kingpin or Colleen Wing). I wouldn't count out an Inhumans wave too since they have a show coming out. They also admitted they like having mainstay franchises that can be counted on to sell like Spider-Man, so we're guaranteed a new Spidey wave as well (maybe with Cloak and Dagger since they're getting a TV show).

When you look at all that I can see why the X-Men wouldn't get multiple waves.
