I stopped by IWM late last week to pick up an order, which included a new Wasp. Their place was not being picked over by evil HG flying lawyer-monkeys, and Office Wench's hair was not on fire. I figure that means whatever is going on isn't as dire as you might imagine. More likely it is some sort of run-of-the-mill production snafu. Maybe one of the molds tore out unexpectedly, or maybe they sold out of the stock they had and don't have the time in the production schedule to crank a bunch more out at the moment. Or maybe Speck jumped the gun, and there was supposed to be another week or two of distributor-only sales?
Just calm down a little bit. I agree it's annoying to have to wait so long for the lovely new art to appear in mini form, and for the Wasp to get pulled at the moment, but I wouldn't break out the tinfoil underpants just yet...I like to save those for special occasions.
