Marvel has as of this moment Spiderman, Marvel Universe, Thor, Captain AMerica, Superhero Squad.

And next year its looking like it'll be MU, Amazing Spiderman(I figure Spiderman will become the Amazing Spiderman movie line, cause its spiderman), Avengers, Superhero Squad, Marvel Legends

Since marvel legends are more expensive, and more plastic, a single ML figure is gonna be worth 2 MU figures, so ML will be worth 2 lines. Then theres the amount. Somthings gotta give.

Squad wont cause its popular with the kids and is backed by a tv show and an MMO. Spiderman and avengers wont cause of movies. That leaves Marvel Universe, Which a handfull of retail stores have been dropping.

Course this all means nothing if Hasbro does what I hope and treats Marvel Legends as a special collectors item sold online.

EDIT : And THEN theres the offchance that Hasbro might make a toy series devoted to the Ultimate Spider-man TV Series thats coming this year. Thats 6 Toylines, not counting exclusives and masterpiece

i agree about the price point, just look at the new 6 in. iron man line at tru 17.99, thats just crazy
