Will the upcoming release of 76017 Captain America vs Hydra have an adverse affect on the value of 6865 Captain America's Avenging Bike? What's your opinion?

It should have an adverse effect. I would sell 6865 before the new one is released. It also depends on the price. The new set to me looks like a 25 dollar MSRP set.

Same thing as Hulk IMO. 

It will significantly halt the growth for a while and probably make the price recede a bit, though it depends on how much the new set costs. 
But for the average Mum and Dad, if they compared the sets would they pay $40 for the 6865 or $30-40 for the 76017?

I think the 6865 Cap set will settle down to $30 or less once 76017 is released.  The Red Skull figure in that set will make it way more popular with Captain America collectors than the horrible villain in 6865, although 6865 will always have demand due to the Avengers movie tie-in.  6865 will always be a winner, but I think the highest it will be for the next 5 years is right now.

yes it would drop

As an average parent, I would like to pick up a Cap minifig.  I would rather have the new set, and would forego trying to get 6865 and paying way over retail, but I don't feel that I have to collect all the sets either.

I was browsing the Walmart site and found the Captain America vs Hydra set. Not sure if it's been annonced anywhere? Maybe it's time to dump the Captain America's Avenging Cycle set, as this Capt America looks identical!

From my understanding it should be a slightly lighter shade of blue, even though the pic is hard to tell. Some people, from what I`ve read, feel that it is time to dump, while others believe the variation of the shade to still give the set a push. I`m on the fence. Other then Cap. American and his motorcycle, the rest of the set isn`t that attractive. With another option on the market soon, more people may start to see that. I`m hoping not, but that is a possibility. 

 

If you agree with the first point, then absolutely dump. The margin should be high enough depending on what price you bought in at. I have 6 left that I got for $17 a piece, sold 1 with Catwomen last week for x2 what I paid. Only have $110 stashed in them, which isn`t enough for me to worry about so they will stay on the shelf for now unless I can sell for x2 also. Just me $0.02
