The problem is that since all of that would be next year, Hasbro won't say any more about it. The general rules is they don't give specifics on any product beyond the current year as stuff like that is still subject to change.

Hasbro said basically the same thing for Iron Man 2 at Toy Fair last year (and I believe for Wolverine before that), and we still got several more assortments "that year" (well before 2011 kicked in). So it isn't as if there's no precedent. Do you honestly believe because of one slide in the panel presentation that Hasbro isn't going to produce any new Thor product after June of this year, and just "coast" the line through the Holiday season into next year with nothing new hitting shelves?

Remember, Hasbro also prefers to do more of their "comic-related" reveals at SDCC than at Toy Fair.
