perhaps the term “major characters” would have been better for me to use

There’s a few bad guys in the line – but not a lot so far. We’ve got Vader, Red Battle Droid, Tan Battle Droid, Super Battle Droid, Jango Fett… and you can also consider the Phase 2 clones as “bad guys” too.

this is all part of Hasbro’s new strategy to focus on core characters only
look at the new Marvel line, not a bad guy in sight
same for Iron Man and SpiderMan
I hope not, but I think going forward Hasbro will only make the good guys, most of which have already been made many times over already

Yeah, I see pros with this line too – but some cons as well. Early on, I hated these things. But after seeing them in person, I kinda liked what I saw – and a few figures, I really like (Seeker Droid, Vader, Shocktrooper, Yoda, Super Battle Droid, R4-P17) – but the Jedi look awful… and these just ain’t selling. At least not in my area… Target and TRU can’t seem to give these away. I think the problem is most of these have all been done before several times – and recently.

I’d buy 1 of each of those if they didn’t look bad. I was irked when I first heard about them cutting articulation, but after seeing them in person, popping them open and playing with them, I really like them. The $6 price tag doesn’t hurt either. 🙂
My 6 year old daughter loves them, too. They fit better in her vehicles and the wrists don’t pop off when she puts blasters or sabers in their hands.

Most stores who put out a case of Legends still have 10-11 figures from their first case. And Mission Series, other than the Vader/Droid set, aren’t moving either. NOT a good sign. But not too surprising either, I suppose. Hasbro can’t expect to retread the same characters over and over, and then make inferior ones and expect them to sell like the good old days. They gotta include NEW characters in the mix – other than the Seeker Droid, we are not seeing that with the kid lines.
