It's also probable that the more waves, the thinner the budget gets, the less they can spend in total on each wave.

They really seem to be stuck in this weird position; fans want so many figures right now! and there's movies and TV shows to capitalize on in a timely fashion, and so forth that they're stuck between trying to appease a lot (Disney/Marvel who they've got the license from, the Vendors, and the fans) and somethings got to give at points.

Just as I'd talked myself down off of my abject and utter disdain for MCU figs...you validate my previous stance on the matter.

Well, at least you've provided the framework for what was just an intuition that no extra dollars were being spent to bring us "more Marvel Legends than ever before."

This info cements my opinion that fewer figs should be offered and that Hasbro be even more thoughtful as to whom they include in future waves...I don't want long awaited characters to receive short shrift.
