I'm assuming the next Spidey wave (Lizard BAF) may start showing up at the end of the year, but good christ am I glad to have some breathing room.

I think standard waves that's it. 7 waves in 7 months. I hate to say it from a collecting standpoint of getting new stuff but Hasbro needs to slow down. I mean, I know they will the second half of this year, but it's just so much Jan-July!

FOr what else there is there's the Deadpool con exclusive, the Thor/Valkyrie Two pack, and Human Torch. Those last two things and the nearly mythical Black Panther are all that are on my list for the rst of the year, unless that lizard wave hits early which is likely, but even with that I just want Mysterio so no big deal.

I got my SDCC set today. It's really nice packaging, I almost don't want to open it. It's still sitting in the box because I'm just enjoying the actual work they put into the packaging design. All the figures look great but I'll get a better impression when I take them out eventually. I wish they made the packaging in these sets in some wawy you could remove the figure without destroying the packaging..I don't know how I just really like the extra work they've put into all of the last five year's sets.
