I mentioned this on social media, but Masterverse distribution has been so strange at times even here in the US. Consumers are starting to obtain Wave 8 figures, yet we are still waiting on Man-at-Arms 2.0 Revelation (Duncan) figure from Wave 7.

Probably a marketing stratagy. Throw it out thereto a couple stores so people start screaming feeling like they missed out so they turn to others who buy and resell for more. Sadly... It's the way of the world. We just need to be more patient because those of us who can't afford to pay $80 for a figure still will get their chance. Also, not sure if it's someone telling they did or you just coming accross maybe things like Ebay where if you read through a lot of the descriptions they tell you that "This is for a Pre-Order ONLY". This will only be delivered when it becomes available to them. It's frustrating to get in on collecting these days as you cannot avoid the greed sickening market system. There are quite a few old Classic figures I recall missing out on, but even hating that I didn't get it at that time, I just can't bring myself to feed the pigs.
@talonfighter truth. Supply chain issues are still a hot mess.
@griff I wonder how many years it will take to return to normalcy. 🤔

Indeed. It's rough everywhere.
In regards to Masterverse, I would love to know what was the initial plan in regards to the New Eternia subline and the Masterverse comics. Writer Tim Seeley was talking in the podcast how everything (figures and comics) were so delayed. The people who handle market strategy must be pulling their hair out in frustration at this point.

Especially since no one is willing to give anything time to play out anymore. It seems like if something isn't an explosive hit, they just dump it and move on.

Right? There are many legendary shows in history that took time to build an audience. But some aren't in it for the long game I guess.
