You won't find a Luke Cage in a Iron Man movie line, and you sure as hell won't see a Spider-Man in a Thor movie line. The collectors will still jump the gun for a rare Marvel Universe figure that you wouldn't see anywhere in a Thor, Iron Man, or Cap movie. Now I do imagine movie figures will be immensely popular with the kids when they're first released and to some collectors for maybe a specific figure to compliment their MU collection like a Crossbones or a proper Bucky Cap. These movie figures will basically be the same character in a bunch of different outfits with the exception of very few. Now if you want a variety of characters Marvel Universe is where it's at. Whew... sorry for the rant brosef.

I think you misunderstood me. I prefer MU{not crazy over most of the movie designs as I prefer the classic comic ones so I really only use the movie lines to suppliment my MU with figures that have not been given the MU treatment} over the "movie lines" BUT it has been proven in the past that when the "summer movie" toys hit that many of the year round ones tend to get pushed back to only a few pegs if any. Hasbro and the stores bet that kids{the target audience for toys afterall} will want a Captain America or a Thor or even a new Optimus Prime after seeing the previews or the actual movie this summer. Granted after all the summer hype is over MU will I'm sure rebound. MU is by far the best bet in getting variety but the stores and Hasbro want the money they are betting on with the movie lines.
