Yup, that's very true. I don't mind there being both movie and comic book figures at all, in fact, many of the movie figures are very well done. The movie Ant-Man is aces and yeah, Star-Lord does work as a good comic Star-Lord stand in. I even think the Winter Soldier from last year fits in well enough with a comic display. I just think that if the BAF is gonna be based on a comic design, it should be a comic-centric wave with a few movie figures, and the same goes for a movie BAF being a movie-centric wave with a few comic figures. Like I said, it's just really strange that somebody who wants movie Ultron is only getting a wave with one movie figure.

Although I do like the idea of offering the BAFs online. Only problem with that I assume is that the BAF is Hasbro's way of assuring retailers that there's an incentive for buying even the more obscure characters.

Eh, I keep my figures even if I'm just collecting them for a BAF lol. Never know if in the future I'm going to want to add them to some team on my shelf. There's also been certain characters that I've bought as part of a wave or boxset that I actually grew really fond of. Blizzard was that purchase for me, but now I actually kinda dig the figure for all of its simplicity. Brother Voodoo was another.
