I was just thinking about something. There's a lot of collectors (like me) who prefer to collect characters from the comic books as opposed to the movies, yet we often find ourselves collecting movie-related figures to complete comic-related BAFs. On the flipside, there's a lot of collectors who love the movie figures and designs and collect those primarily. On top of that, there's probably a lot of pressure from retailers to have at least one of the heavy hitters in every wave to guarantee their sales, which is why there's almost guaranteed to be an Iron-Man, Captain America or Spider-Man in every wave, and from that, I'd imagine there's probably a lot of pressure for Hasbro to capitalize on the newest movies.

However, I do find it a bit weird that a collector has to collect a wave of mostly movie figures (if you take into account that one of the comic book figures is an optional purchase) to complete a comic book Thanos, and that you have to collect a wave of mostly comic book figures to complete both Movie Ultron and Movie Hulkbuster. Has anybody else felt like this? I see why Hasbro does it this way, but I'm wondering if there could possibly be a better way of doing this.
