In my experience, the majority of the figures sell within a reasonable time. I'd say on average only 2 figures out of a wave will linger at retail for months (or even years). Truth be told, I'd say shitty distribution contributes to pegwarming more than character popularity. For example in my area (Washington D.C.), Targets and Wal-Marts are heavily stocked with Infinity War wave 2 figures. That would be great if it were 2018 when this wave originally came out. But back then, I couldn't even find them at most brick & mortar places so I got them online. I'm guessing a lot of other serious collectors did the same. So now that the wave is back in stores, the hardcore collectors already have them and the casuals don't have a lot of interest in figures from a film from last year.
