I don't know how retail ordered that much of that wave that two years out we're still seeing more of that than four newer Spider-Man waves.

And sadly I think this will be a continuing problem, maybe not with this particular wave but Spider-Man in general. I get Spider-Man is their biggest character. And they want to have multiple waves/themes around him yearly. But something has to give, because it's become an issue with Spider-Man waves in particular for the last three years. Get your shit together Hasbro/retailers and figure out a way to allow new stuff to come in and get the old stuff out.

Not that this doesn't affect other themed waves of course, but Spider-Man is traditionally the worst hit.

Female Beetle? I'm sill running into Misty Knight at my local stores.

Hasbro is starting up a toy recycling program, so maybe that could be a solution for companies with older stock. If Hasbro is able to at least give retailers back a larger portion their cost and replace it with newer product, it stands to benefit everyone involved.

Plus it's Earth friendly...as the recycled plastic from the figures can be used to build park benches, clothing, and even more newer versions of Star-Lord and Deadpool than you can shake a stick at...

I have yet to run into any of the Lizard wave outside of Spider-Woman (Gamestop), Noir and Lasher (Target.) Thank goodness I pre-ordered that wave, I'd be going mad now if I didn't. I ran into a new case of the DP wave this morning on my way home from work, which was the first time I've spotted Cable in the wild.

As bad as Legends distribution is, we should count our lucky stars, as it PALES in the distribution disaster that is Star Wars Black Series and DC Multiverse. My local stores are still sitting on Finns and Jynns, and I don't remember the last NON-MOVIE TIE IN Multiverse wave I saw in store...Doomsday I think?

To further exasperate things, there is an the makings of a new army of Young Han Solos and Maz Kanata starting to appear in my local aisle. Even the Black Series Porg sets are selling better than those figures...
