1x X-Force wave
1x X-Men wave
Plus we got all the 80th anniversary stuff this year and the X-Men retro wave, which was a lot more developed than previous retro offerings. If there's more coming this year, beyond the one or two 80th sets that still haven't been revealed, I'll be shocked!
Wow, interesting, wonder if they'll pull something out of the hat for xmas sales?

I thought I'd be more excited for an AOA line too. Perhaps it's because Hasbro revealed characters that I didn't really care for in theseries. A great selling point for this wave would've been to do Joe MAD! versions a la the Alex Ross 80th Anniversary figures. Imagine a Joe MAD! Rogue or a Joe MAD! Sunfire or a Joe MAD! Sabretooth.

That's not the impression I got watching the panel. They made it sound like not only was this going to be a full AoA wave, but that there might be more than one full AoA wave and then some (exclusives, etc...) next year.
Maybe "AoA 25th Anniversary" will be their "MCU 10th" or "Marvel 80th" subline next year for all we know at this point.

I hope you're right! I'm all over some Age of Apocalypse, but I'd rather get the outback X-Men first! On the other hand, if Morph, Weapon X, and X-Man are the only AOA figures in the wave, I'll be a little underwhelmed by the opening output. I get wanting to do Morph and X-Man, who have had presences in the Exiles and 616, and understand the Logan rule, but those definitely wouldn't've been my first choices.

I mostly agree, but 2020 is the 25th anniversary of the event, so it makes sense. I'm down for one dedicated wave, and thenpeppering of additional AOA characters throughout regular waves afterward. I'm not sure I want two or three dedicated waves, at least not all in a rowin lieu of other waves.
I guess this was a well balanced SDCC. There was so much stuff revealed, but I feel like I will skip on half of it. However, I can see a lot of people excited about things I don't plan on getting.
For me the most exciting were Vulture, Dr Doom, Jean and of course MCU Lebowski wave.

Hm, very interesting. Definitely, there is so much stuff that came out in the past few years that even with cherry picking it is still hard to find place (and money) for all of it.
