haha, that's the best list ever. Not one, and I mean not one of the characters would sell a set to me. I know next to nothing about any of them. You certainly proved the point being made, that EU characters alone cannot sell sets, if that's the best you can come up with.

Honestly, none of this matters anyways. WotC has long decided this issue, so none of our opinions matter on bit on it. In fact, WotC has already decided that the EU fans who decry reprints are in fact wrong. They have plenty of market research, and plenty of sales numbers of sets with which to back it up by this point.

And yet, they continue to mix the EU in here and there, while following the model that brings us lots of well recognized characters as well. That shows you, that the best answer for WotC is the current model. So quite simply, all of your opinions, are in fact wrong in this case.

Ken, if that's what you took from my post, then you missed the point entirely. I wasn't laughing at your list, but of the irony of how it proves the opposing view point, to which you were responding (since you quoted it, I can only assume it was your point to counter it with your list). Don't read disrespect where there is none.

I have no problem with any of the characters on your wish list, and someday, I hope you get everyone of them. However, the same goes for every EU fan with their own list, and every OT fan with theirs, CWs fans with theirs, etc.

The entire point of my last post, was that WotC has already decided what level of EU figure support is appropriate to their market. Just look at how many they produce, and how they release them. Your answer is already there.

Hahahahaha, this whole "My opinion is right and everyone else can go to @#$%^" is laughable at best. Just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean it's the RIGHT way. It just means it's your preference.

Sure, the customer is always right (though that is less and less apparent than it used to be). But if you as Customer #1 want a Cassus Fett, and I as Customer #2 want a new Han Solo....well, then which customer is right?

WOTC isn't stupid. They've done market research. They know what is going to sell the best. The people who post on these forums is a VERY VERY VERY small percentage of the people who actually buy the miniatures product. Again, I'll say...VERY SMALL. And around the forums like this, you'll likely find other people who also want things like Cassus, Celeste Morne, etc. But you won't see the casual collectors who are only interested in the OT stuff, because they usually can't stand reading tirades like this by the EU "fanatics".

And let me add to all of this by saying, that to some degree, I definitely agree with you. I'd love to see new pieces like Celeste, Cassus Fett, other characters from comics, EU novels, etc. But I have also taken the time to think rationally about things, and know that the longevity of this game depends on the casual buyers too, who aren't interested in the EU stuff, typically, and aren't interested in playing the game either. They just buy to display the pieces on a shelf.

So yes, reprints and re-dos of characters we already have are frustrating to some of us "hard-core" player/collectors. But those are the bread-and-butter type of things that attract new players and collectors, and in the end, help the game survive in the long run.

Besides, if they did all your favorite EU characters now, what would keep you buying things down the road?
