Wow, you guys really do get the short end of the stick (on the other hand, while
I can still find the Battank here almost a year later, the Batcopter has been
sold out at retail for several months).  No, there were seven sets in the first
year, and last year there were two (I actually found them during the NMRA
National Train Show).  I'm not sure why they ran so light last year, but four
sets per year would be a nice middle ground now that they have a decent stock of
villains out there.  They still need to make Poison Ivy semi-affordable (she's
the only villain who hasn't been released in a vehicle set), and it's been a
long time since I've seen Catwoman at retail (being in the least expensive set
from the first wave, that was the only set that sold out before the end of
2006).
