I think Hasbro learned a lesson this year. A Very important one.

This year, as we all know, Hasbro released 2 Movie lines nearly simultaniously. Thor and Captain America. One had just movie figures while the later had a mixture of movie and comic figures.

As we see, Captain America Sells. I go to stores and see Captain America as a seller. The comic figures selling very well, with proper army builders mixed in and some great must haves.

Thor, meanwhile, is gridlocked. Its a miracle to actually find wave 2 in the wild, and the figures of Wave 2 have fallen mostly in the hands of the scalper. every store I see, I see pegs lined to the tip of wave 1. Hasbro successfully made a wave made entirely of Pegwarmer

In a side note, all remaining Ironman 2 figures are mostly movie figures. hmmm

So in the words of Kyle Brofloski "You know, I learned somthing today". Movie Toys dont sell as well as comic figures. while kids may be into the movie figures, most collectors are not, causing massive slow down. I hope hasbro learned its lesson, and will pepper the Avengers toyline with various comic figures, attracting many more to the line, allowing it to successfully move off the shells at a good pace.
