Does anyone feel like Wave 12 just kinda came and went? I mean, I still see plenty on the pegs, but other than WW Hulk and maybe IM and Spidey 2099, I'm just not feeling a lot of buzz from this wave

I'm thinking it may be a while, especially with the revision cases slated to come out. THAT is going to be one spectacular wave of figures, if just for Cyclops and Apocalypse alone.

I think they got overloaded with W12 and W11 kinda slipped through the cracks.

If we look back to the end of 2009/beginning of 2010, it was quite a while before wave 7 started showing up in any quantity at retail. There were some Secret Wars packs that hit in February and wave 7 started to become a little easier to fnd in March/April. Wave 8 was hard to find for the most part and the same goes for waves 10 and 11. Most of 2010 was pretty tough with the exceptions of waves 7 and 9 - and I think that the revision cases that are coming will make 2011 even tougher - at least for wave 13. The backlog of waves 8 and 9 in my area are finally starting to move, likely due to the holidays. When these revisions hit we're going to end up with pegs heavy with the non-variant figs and no willingness/need for the retailers to stock the new figs when Hasbro is ready to ship them.
I'm still not sure why they are having such a hard time figuring out the shipping/distribution of this line. I still think it is due to retailer/consumer confusion between the MU, IM2 and Spidey lines. They need to cutdown on the multiple variations of the same character - especially with Spidey. That line would be fine if it featured unique characters and not 15 different versions of Spidey with ninja, scuba, etc. gear. Not sure why Hasbro can't look back at the successful figure lines in the early 80s. I don't remember 15 versions of Luke or Han hitting within 1-2 years in the original Kenner line for Star Wars. There weren't 3 different versions of Snake Eyes in a single year in the 80s Joe line. The new tactic of having 15 different Spidey's come out within a year isn't working.
