News: Disney buys Marvel!

Hi there fellow collectors;
I never thought we we would have such huge news! In case you have not heard....Disney has agreed to purchase Marvel Comics!
This is huge and there is lots of speculation on what changes will be made to Marvel, if any. One thing that is notable is that currently Marvel Characters are featured at Universal Studios which as you know is the Disney Park rival. So does Disney continue to let them have licensing to feature Marvel Characters, or do they pull the licensing when the current expires and create Marvel-land? Either way, Stan Lee is a very happy man.
Some Marvel die-hards are concerned that Disney will make changes that will destroy the collectible value of Marvel. But why would they change a cash cow that is working?
On the other hand, collectors should be excited as never toys might have new branding making the older toys more collectible and valuable. What do you think? Let us know.
We will keep you posted as we hear more.
Until next time, happy hunting!
