Skylanders, Halo 4 Mega bloks, Skylander mega bloks, Marvel will be a strong line this year because of this being the first avengers christmas. Transformers will have a mild presence, and GI Joe could too. TMNT should have a pretty steady pace too.

Overall though, I'm expecting skylanders to be heavy this year in all their forms as well as Halo mega bloks sets that seem to be hitting fast at walmarts now while online retailers have sold out already. Skylanders Megabloks will be a pretty big thing too since they are articulated Skylanders.

That's about where I'd hedge my bets for this year. My shopping list for cousins and their kids seems to reflect it too. Most of it is skylanders this year.
