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. Unless of course you have 3 waves in one year of the same code such as what happened with the 3 Civil War waves because I think we can all agree the Abomination wave was rarely seen at retail.

Janice Lincoln Beetle is nothing... at our local Target, you can still find Misty Knight and White Tiger in droves.

Hell, I popped into the local Walmart on my lunch break, and I found almost an entire case of Spider-Man figures... from the Vulture wave.

Someone needs to play some catch-up, and I'm not sure on which end it is.
