I really hope Hasbro gets smarter about how they distribute certain seasons throughout their waves. Like we have a bunch of fan favorites getting almost completely full teams. Like SPD, In Space, Dino Thunder are damn near finished. I get that that sounds weird but hear me out.

If they dip into other series like Operation Overdrive, Alien, Wild Force & other series that are more divisive than others lots of fans aren't gonna bother picking them up cause there's a good amount of dislike/hatred for certain ones. Ninja Steel, Lightspeed Rescue & Megaforce just to name a few more. If later waves don't sell as much than are retailers really gonna bother picking up future waves if they don't have any guaranteed purchases like fan-favorite characters to help boost sales?

Like if it were up to me I'd always make waves a mix of seasons people like & don't like, just to prove to the Targets & Wal-Marts that Lightning Collection is a line with longevity. But if all the characters people want are already made, then when we get to later ones the line might die off because Samurai & other seasons like it don't have the same sales as SPD or In Space, ya know?

Again. Maybe I'm just being too worried about it, I just want this line to continue & complete every team & I'm scared Hasbro might burn themselves out before they get a chance to do it.

Your concern is valid, but Hasbro is no stranger to doing reissues, deluxe editions, alternate paintjobs, or even straight up V2s of figures, as seen in all of their other lines. So I imagine if they ever run out of popular seasons to pump out, they'll just fall back on one of those options.
