Honestly if I were Hasbro I'd be so mad about the Space Venom and Abomination waves. You know they likely made equal amounts of those waves as they did of the others..and retail just never ordered them. It's possible since there's not another Captain America movie we might see the Abomination wave hit this year, belatedly, but with 2-3 Spider Man waves a year, I don't think we'll have a time that retailers are going to be reaching for Spider-man stuff to put out.

I'm also hoping Hasbro has learned their lesson. A movie can support one wave for sure. Two waves max. Three waves is just asking for retail backlog stock disaster. Which is why when those rumors about a GOTG wave 3 were starting, I was very skeptical. I'm not saying fans wouldn't want to buy them...but it doesn't matter if they do or not if they don't ever make it to the stores. And to retailing systems a wave that includes fan favorites will be coded the same way as repackaged figures.

Space venom and that civil war wave were everywhere by me, but I ordered both of them from Wal-Mart when they were on sale.
