I'm hoping, like it's suggested here, that they sprinkle the rest of the characters in future X-Men waves.

That said, I think I would hate it if we saw the Generation Next versions before we saw any Generation X team members from 616.

I'd honestly be really upset if they gave us Generation Next before the regular Generation X team, I agree on that, I really hope we can see some of the Generation X team soon enough.

Love the wave. Need more...Nightcrawler, Gambit, Bishop, Havok, Storm, Holocaust (BAF).

This is my favorite line of all time. Displayed proudly on my shelf. Great, great story!

Absolutely agree

As much as I love the AOA story, and really did when it came out, I was initially really excited about the figures potentially getting made, and they did, I'm pretty content with what we have here in these 2 waves, I never loved all of their looks in AOA, and still only have some personal faves, I think I can be cool with them retiring the whole AOA only waves, it would be cool to see a few extra characters they left out sprinkled into X-Men waves, but they got most of the essential characters down with these 2 waves, I don't know if I desire more waves dedicated to the story, I would have loved to see more Gen Next figs get made, and of course Nemesis would needs to happen, but I skipped a bunch of this wave, and only actually got the entire first batch because I needed to build that awesome Sugar Man characters like Abyss, Husk, Vincent, Amazon, Mystique, Deathbird and some others I can't think of I'd welcome as figures, but not super necessary.

I think they did a decent job tying up most of the aspects of the Age of Apocalypse that they started, though. They put out the entire Astonishing X-Men team, the Weapon X duo, the relatively stand-alone X-Man, the instructors (and main antagonist) from Generation Next, two of the three main characters from Factor X, and the big A himself. If they had just done Havok instead of Iceman it would have stood on its own just fine. X-Calibre and the X-Ternals got ignored, as did the Amazing X-Men, the students from Generation Next, and Forges entourage, butagainpretty cleanly ignored. And everyone else was basically just a supporting character.

Was going to ask if this 2nd full AOA figures finished the characters but from reading the comments they are a long way from completed. And a 3rd wave is unlikely. Bummer for those collecting these, as like many others teams/stories Hasbro will have a nice representation but ultimately incomplete collection.

Alpha Flight, Excalibur ( for now) , Thunderbolts, are just a few that c9me to mind that we might never complete.

I was able to pick up the whole wave. Legion is easily my favorite figure from the wave, but the whole wave was done very well. I for one would still love to see a 3rd full AOA wave, but it sounds like that isn't happening.

Agreed. I would love a Bishop
