That's because you want them. lol I'm not kidding, that's how this shit works. Last week I found Croc Master and multiples of the SS/Spirit/Officer wave just swinging on the pegs, along with slightly damaged and marked down Retro Gung Ho and Destro someone ordered online and returned to store. For awhile there, I kept walking into Targets right after they put out a fresh case too. It was weird. That never happens with stuff I actually want.

Sure, but in my experience, the demand for McFarlane stuff is generally lower than it is for Hasbro's offerings. Smaller waves likely just makes them scalper fodder like most of the Cobra Island stuff, especially when "army builders" are involved (I'm already dreading trying to find a Crimson Guard for retail price). Going to have to pre-order everything to have a chance of picking it up.

But that's just speculation on my part.

They should hires someone comes from such companies like Microsoft or Apple to be their CEOs.

I'm note seeing much of significance in this article. Just feels like some corporate fluff to designed to get ahead of issues with distribution and disruptions in media (which has been having impacts across the industry for the last couple of years). Given the angle of the publication...none of this is really applicable to collector stuff. They seem to be addressing issues with major media events, not recurring collector lines.

I can't even see how smaller waves would work in some lines. IE Marvel Legends. Unless they dump BAFs, you can't have a 3-4 figure wave without raising prices and adding in more BAF parts and less accessories to each figure.
Then again, maybe BAFs are going anyway because blind boxed figures are going to be a "steal the BAF part" person's field day. |

Jesus Christ, Hasbro! You guys over think the hell out of everything. Call Todd McFarlane. Ask him how he's been so incredibly successful making DC Multiverse figures readily available about 5 minutes after promo images are disseminated. I'm sick to death of the endless Hasbro excuses. It's BEYOND old. Not only that but, all of these type of "press release" information gems seem to always directly contradict what we hear from your marketing teams. Get it together.

Doesn't seem like this will change Gi Joe's current distribution. It's still going to be few and far in between that we see new product on the pegs.

Hasbros problems pretty much all stem from having so many big lines and the logistics of supporting them all without eating each others own lunch while having to also consider international trends. McFarlane just is pushing out everything as they come along and is much smaller in scale operation. McFarlane does well because it's a simpler and smaller production pipeline. |

I'm pretty sure the new wave size was supposed to start with the Zarana wave.
