Which is understandable. I appreciate the sentiment, as I personally would’ve preferred new characters to another version of the team, in outfits I’m not familiar with. Ultimately, it doesn’t really bother me, as I’m figuring we’ll see more Fantastic Four and more cosmic Marvel figures in general in the coming years. The desire for instant gratification makes it so that people get irked when the figures they want don’t come immediately. In my years of collecting, I’ve learned it’s an exercise in patience. As a huge Alpha Flight nerd myself, that boxset was gratifying. I waited years for it. By the way, if you’ll pardon the pun, how about an Annihilation wave?

Short of them stating as much, who really knows what the reasoning is regarding grousing on the internet? While what you say is reasonable and likely true for others outside of yourself, there's a world of subjective opinions and motivations out there.

Most of us that have spent time collecting Legends know the deal, there's a rubric for all of this and it revolves around ancillary/complementary media (movies or TV tie-ins) and anchoring sell-through on waves with familiar characters. It's for this reason so very many Avenger waves featured Cap, Iron Man, and Thor. Most are also aware that Marvel has re-secured the FF and their emergence within the MCU is a far flung understanding and expectation. We are going to see many iterations of the core FF before all of this is said and done, so, based on your take, people may want to gird themselves for continued disappointment. As much as I'd love to see Diablo (box set with his Elements of Doom?) / the Frightful Four (another box?) / Mole Man (throw in some Moloids that I can have the Hulk toss around) / Molecule Man / Mephisto / Psycho Man / Mad Thinker and his awesome android / Abraxas / Salem's Seven (another box) and many others, I also know I'd be extremely lucky to see just a few of those characters sprinkled sparingly into waves. Not trying to dash hopes, just being candidly pragmatic.

Also, I've been pretty vociferous throughout the years about my want for an Annihilation wave/box/anything...so, yeah, I'm more than down for that along with many other things related to Marvel Cosmic:
