They may be saving some of it for the Avengers line.

I don't know about that. I'm wishing like crazy that the Avengers line will have a good number of comic accurate figures. But this line would already have to be huge just to accommodate the huge cast of characters. Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Fury, Loki and whoever else they decide to throw in there. That's 8 essential characters. Also as I'm sure this line will include it's share of original sculpts, I'm wondering if the brilliance of these toy lines doesn't stem from the fact that after all the individual lines have run their course BAME, Avengers comes out and now Hasbro can just re-release key figures already made.

This may all seem to happen kind of fast from our viewpoint, but from a marketing viewpoint, kids are always coming up in age and ready to catch on to whatever being sold to them.

Just a posable theory, I'm hopping I totally wrong.
