And it's all speculation, since I don't think anyone here works for Hasbro and sees the numbers, sits in meetings, and hears their marketing plans, but I honestly don't think they really consider kids when it comes to MU. It's a collector's line and they know it... they know it well. That's why there was such a set as the GoTG, but it's doesn't stop there.. Union Jack? Patriot? ..just to name a couple. Kids don't give a shit about those characters; just like they don't care about the MoE characters, but I'd be willing to bet we do see a variation of that set hit retail at some point within the next year.

I've also wondered how much of this line is directed at kids. Like you said, no one here knows for sure. If it's mainly a collectors line, I see this heading to retail.

I've always loved the wtf figures they've made for this line: Guardian, Union Jack, Sunfire. I love those figures but I never thought those characters would be made so early in the line. Truth be told, Union Jack was my first MU toy. He started the whole thing.
