Entire waves/sizes are skipped or appear 6-8 months late after everybody on TFW is done with them. This is kind of why I don't mind BBTS being a little slow - slow is slow regardless of where.
Marvel Legends are similarly bare, the exception being Target, which sometimes has 10 of its exclusive and nothing else (same for Star Wars). Joe, Ghostbusters, Power Rangers, bare or 1-2 really old figures.
The only other brand I really follow is McFarlane DC and it's weird too. Stuff arrives later than late, but there's a ton of it when it does. But only for about a week to two, then it's a huge pile of whatever the shittiest recent figure is. Like tons of drowned Batgirl or spindly Joker for moths, then tons of death metal Superman for months, etc.
This area was never great for timeliness but volume has been so low and delivery so late for the last 6-7 years. I don't know how anybody could collect much of anything if they relied on physical retail.
