How well will waves 3 & 4 do?

[rcbats1]

That quote came from Toy Guru from Mattel at toy Fair 2010. He clearly stated that we get 3 waves of 4 figures per year and that wave 3 is scheduled for winter of 2010. You can go to youtube and see the video of him saying the same thing. I would imagine somewhere in all this madness Paul has re-affirmed that as well.

Thanks, may I ask where that quote came from? So that would mean we get wave three in time for Christmas, and wave four in the spring of '11? It does seem like it would be normal for Mattel to have something new right around Christmas time.

^^^^^Thanks^^^^ rcbats1 and Meule for clearing that up. I missed that discussion! Anyway, I am thinking that 3 waves may be about right for this line. Of course I am impatient and want more quicker. Now I may be able to afford some of the other great Re-Mego's that are coming out.

As for how I thing waves 3 & 4 will do, I think wave 3 looks like a big winner. You get Flash and Wonder Woman. Cheetah and Cpt Cold are good villain choices. It sounds like Mattel has already switched the case packs so there will be less villains to warm the pegs. My TRU still has about a dozen each of Sinestro and Luthor. Wave 4 has great collector appeal. I am not sure how well known they are to the general public. Hopefully by wave 4 TRU will have figured out a good quantity to order, not too many so they warm the pegs for years, but not so few that you have to camp out to get them!

My guess is they will do well...I just hope Mattel adjusts quantity levels of each figure so they always need to be restocked and none hang around to warm pegs

That's what my thinking was with the pegwarmers and how many Sinestros and LL's we see at TRU.
