	A notable drawback of solid cases is that they can lead to supply outpacing demand to the point where the toy becomes a [[shelfwarmer]].

	In European markets, it has long been a practice to ''not'' include figures from previous [[wave]]s in a new case, but only the figures new to this particular wave.
