i saw the remnants of this wave a few weeks back and since then, nothing. just empty peg after empty peg.
what's the story?!

I have yet to see any of the wave at retail. I snagged a Steve Rogers from Amazon, but I haven't seen them at any retail store yet. No change to make the BAF yet.
It is frustrating, just like the Spider-Man figures. I have all of them but the two symbiotes, so I can't make the BAF.

i've had no issues with finding the spidey series. i've seen every non-spidey figure at least 7-8 times. and, to me, that's why the cap series is so damn frustrating.
spidey: everywhere.
cap: mia
Which stores are you checking? With Walmart and TRU, it's total crap shoot. Too many hands on the products and distribution problems. But with Target, hopefully if you have a couple of those to chose from, pick one as the dumping ground and start moving inventory. Now that's not to say that the distribution center for your Targets may be out of stock, but this trick has worked for me in the past. Yeah, you may be screwing over another collector over at that dumping Target, but this isn't Toy Biz days, when retailers would get 5 cases of Marvel Legends in a shipment. Stores now get 1 case per month, if the stock count is low enough to have them ordered by a computer. Good Luck!

i've got 6-7 wm that i hit weekly, 2 that i hit 4 out of 5 days.
5 targets that i hit weekly, 1 that i've been hitting daily for 2 months.
2 tru that are and have been absolutely worthless for years.
5 km, 2 that i hit 4 out of 5 days.
between all these stores, there are 2 ww2 caps and 1 now cap. the stores i hit most frequently have absolutely nothing, so you'd think restocking would be happening. but no. and i've talked to a few target employees about the lack of restocking and they don't know why nothing new is coming. i'd talk to wm employees if i thought i'd get more than a grunt and a crotch scratching.
it just seems like hasbro had low expectations of the cap wave and didn't produce much. hence the lack of restock anywhere.
and i'm a big advocate for moving inventory. that's how i've been able to get half of my wwe collection. and, honestly, i don't think i've screwed over anyone. whenever i hit the "dumping" target/wm, they've been cleared out of whatever i dumped. so if anything, i think i could say i'm helping some collectors. ha!
I have seen my Target restock after selling out. I still missed Widow though.
Walmart got in wave 2, but they have not restocked.
Have you really seen 8 Black Cats? I'd love to find one of her and Black Widow. I'd be done until Avengers 2 probably for Marvel.

yeah, literally 8 black cats and probably 8-9 spider-girls. spidey has been incredibly plentiful around here. and that only serves to frustrate me further about cap! ha!
if i happen upon another black cat, i'll let you know.
