The movie line is good but the market for them is saturated. Even at a BOGO with a $5 coupon I could not bring myself to buy 2 figs just for the blast effects. It's sad I know.
People will buy the Avengers line Cap, IM, & Thor simply because they will be slightly different than the ones we already have.
I don't think Hasbro actually learns anything from the way toys don't sell. Two Targets in my area have nothing but Arctic Destros for Joes on the pegs. The Indiana Jones figs are a good example. They overstock the first 2 waves to the point where most collectors already have what's on the shelf. Part of that prob has to do with stores either buying too much or getting pressured to buy and only getting the same case assortments time after time.
It's sad that we have to go to Singapor and Hong Kong sellers to get the final Indy wave and any end of line wave assortment.
Speak for yourself......ill take one if your giving him away....
