      I've seen Paul Clarke state he mentioned to his contact at Disney how disappointed people, including himself, are about this. He is at least bending the ear he knows to make change. The first thing Marty said to me was, "Disney under-ordered this set." He's clearly not wrong.

        Maybe Disney underestimated the popularity this 4 set of figures would be? Perhaps they learned a lesson from this and will restock them and make the necessary adjustments on the next wave.

          Why did it have to be a Spider-Man Wave? I hope we get better distribution, but Spidey and Hul were my non Trek intros to Mego. I bought a set for $75 +shipping, I don’t want to do this for every wave

              Well, no-one likes aquatic characters more than I, and he's cool-looking--but I can think of 20 better choices to do first.

                When i was collecting those Disney store exclusive star wars diecast figues. It would typically be a mad scramble to get them, sellout and an eventual restock a few months later.
                Hoping that'll be the case here as well.

                  I’d gladly pay $75 + shipping; surely you meant $175?

                    Oh, yeah I did. I was converting to usd, forgot a number. The worst is waiting… it was sent from California to Illinois, and being sent back to the province above Montana, the agony

                      My friend and his family went to Disney World two weeks back. No Disney shops on or off property had the Spider-Man set.

                        Disney does not care about collectors only sales. Thanks Doc Mego for trying but why were they saying that there was plenty when now they say the sets were under ordered

                          EXACTLY!
                          I saw two videos on Mego's Facebook page that claimed that there would be plenty.

                            Shouldn't we be hearing about set 2 shortly?

                            I assumed (I know...) that sets would be released roughly quarterly.

                              I was wondering that myself.
                              I’m really intrigued to see who they select for the next set of 4, and praying it’s easier to get than the Spidey set was (which I had to buy on the secondary market at an inflated price).

                                I went back and watched the video that Paul and Marty made right before Christmas. Paul said the second set would ship after Chinese New Year. That ended around Valentine's Day. If it takes 6 weeks to go from Chine to LA, that puts them hitting the US sometime around the first of April. Give them a week or two to make it to Anaheim (Disney) I would think we'd see or hear something around the third/fourth week of April.

                                And if I had to guess, the next wave will be
                                Iron Man
                                Captain America
                                Hulk
                                The Vision

                                Just guessing
