I hope that they do come out with a new GOTG set, and I do hope the figures are comic book costumes, any comic book costumes will do, and maybe come with a comic book or some type of comic book cover done by an artist who is familiar with their look.

I agree with you, but I freely admit my bias for the comic version of characters. I have maintained my preference for the Nova Prime of this set from the moment pics were first released (I even prefer the Iron Man before the others, and the two together represent the only figs I own from the set). From the reports by many on this thread, the upcoming 5-pack set for GotG will likely be something more to your tastes. Many people like movie figs, and as a result Hasbro has devoted a good amount of energy to rolling out movie adaptations. I was worried at first when Hasbro announced that their movie and comic lines would be merged, but they have struck a satisfying balance (for me) between the two genres. I wouldn't worry about holding off on this version of GotG, it sounds like an alternative is on its way....
