I'm confident that it'll die at some point, which is why I'm always pissed off when they release repeat characters and completely new teams before completing old ones. I get a lot of grief when I say this but I don't OWE Hasbro anything, I don't OWE it to them to buy their figures no matter what. Forgive me for a sense of entitlement but I feel like as a part of their consumer base, we deserve a completed list of figures before they end a line in return to our continued commitment and loyalty to a line. They should make better provisions to end a line, as well.

I mean I'll give Mattel some props in that when they ended DCIH, they gave us a chance to get Aquaman. DCUC is obviously winding down and they gave us Prof Zoom, Al Pratt, Sandman, JSA Hawkman, Stargirl and STRIPE and they're giving us Jay Garrick to complete the original Justice Society and Poison Ivy to tie up a lot of loose ends. JLU is ending and they released the last members of JSA that were not previously released. I can see this line ending in a couple of years. The interest is already depleting with many figures that used to sell for mad cash going for far less value than before.

This baiting method of business almost always ends badly for the fans because we get disgruntled, stop buying, the company either does a last hurrah with some too little too late closure figures or they give us a big F-U and end it with some garbage figures. I can see Hasbro ending the line with Wolverine, Ironman, Hulk, Spider-man and Thor as their last wave because they're jerks like that and meanwhile, Jim Lee era Beast, Forge and Bishop, Claremont's 80s run Dazzler and Polaris, Fantomex, X-Factor Beast, Cyclops and Jean Grey to fill out the rest of the team since they're doing X-Factor Angel and Iceman will go unmade.
