Now again, I don't expect an XFC offering, but it could be in the cards for something they'll mention to get retailers to want it. With so many big budget films coming at once to push all these lines, and the limited amount planned for thor, it would make sense to keep the dollar signs flashing in retailers eyes to want to carry it all since they like big budget films to push lines. It's one of those we'll have to wait and see. Though, for all we know that may be the main reason behind some of the MU box sets coming that seem so X-Men or Mutant heavy.

Yeah, that's my belief: That Marvel Universe will become "X-Men Heavy" this year as an unofficial tie-in to First Class. Marketing synergy and all that.
