6868 - Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout

I've been mulling over this for a little while but could this set be a breakout from the Avengers line? It does have to overcome the playset factor and mentality, which we know effects sets such as Palpatine's Arrest and Home One. However it does have one giant green reason which may boost it above mediocrity. The Quinjet does look cooler (even though the 6868 set does have a smaller jet) Lineups are as follows 6868 - 389 pieces Hulk Thor Loki Hawkeye 6869 - 735 pieces Thor Loki Iron Man Black Widow Chitauri Foot solider Despite the different variations with the latest sets there will be an abundance of Iron Man minifigs, between the Avengers sets and the Iron Man 3. Loki is everywhere and Thor is only available in this and the Quinjet, however that could change if we see Thor 2 Lego sets created. Hawkeye is also available in the Cosmic Cube Escape set. At this stage, however, there is no scheduled Hulk movie. I am not sure when Lego's license with Marvel ends, however with the next Avengers not out until 2015 this could be the only set that ends up with Hulk in it. If we do get an oversaturation of Iron Man and Thor minifigs from the next movies, can the Hulk fig carry this? Does the playset lose out to a Quinjet or can Hulk carry it to future higher prices? Thoughts?
