I'm trying to over here in NZ. Though as far as I can tell we got wave one, two and three then nothing new until wave 1 2010 late last year. Plus we've got no comic packs or exclusives. To be honest though I only really wanted Union Jack and Guardian so my cherry-picking self is not too worried by that skip.
I'm hoping like heck we get wave 2 2010. As you said, the Modern Thor and Iron Man look great!
