I've collected all the ones I've found so far, but I'm starting to really believe this is just a bad idea. I'll likely never be able to complete the Thor line for less than $100 for the Kings, and then what? Who's going to buy the complete Thor line? If I ever wanted to get rid of them, I'd have to piece them out, and those repaints are never going to sell. I've honestly really started thinking hard about trying to take them into Targets and Walmarts and exchange them for stuff I enjoy collecting, rather than the load that is the movie lines.

IM2 is quite a bit different, what with all the nice comic versions sprinkled throughout. Collecting the remaining 5 or 6 repaints really wasn't a big deal because there was so much variety in the rest of the line.

Cap's line is much more on the fence too. It's nice to have it complete, but how many different colored pants versions of cap does someone need? Really, this is the only line I'm 100% complete on...

Some ideas seem like a "can't lose" proposition - like the Shield Helicarrier or the Quinjet - yet they made them loser ideas.

I may buy more than I plan when I see them on the shelves but I don't think so at $9 or $10 a pop. Price and execution are the downfall of this toy line.

The more I think about it, the better it is to opt-out of this one. I hope my OCD lets me...
