I would say right now is a great time to get in - although if you are a complete-ist, you may have a few challenges.

But at the moment, the Marvel Gift set would be a great way to get started with the "core" figures with a great set of sculpts. Also, the X-men Giant set is really well done. The biggest challenges might be with the movie lines - they have been hard for just about anyone to get all the figures from. With many stores still stocking the revisions from early waves - the many different Hulks, Ms. Marvel, Vision - and many other hard to find or poorly done early wave characters getting remade (Hulk, Punisher, Daredevil) - its not a bad time at all. Some challenges will be in the Giant Battles - with the two Goliaths, the Frost Giant, and the Super Skrull - as these were WM exclusives and have left the shelves by and large.
