I think the biggest factor is if the economy stays where it is or gets even worse than those same collectors that keep the market alive now will stop buying even more and cause the line to end. I don't think its a question of a movie being successful because then you'd see a lot of racks cleared of products from the numerous superhero movies that have already been made and were successful. At the same time, Hasbro has to try and keep the character selection fresh and pack the cases accordingly with what would be in demand or else you'll see what we see now. The same iron man suits, ninja spiderman, snowboard cap shelf warming.

Exactly. And don't forget, when money gets tight, our wallets get tighter and we're even pickier about what we're willing to spend our money on. I'm already at the stage where I'm not going to buy just anything they shovel onto the table anymore. How long do you honestly think Hasbro is going to be able to release repaints and crap and get away with it?
