I agree...
It's funny how the comic sets really kind of tear your opinion from one side to the other. On one hand, $5 a figure is great (the comic is irrelevant to most of us, let's face it). On the other hand some figures are a little weaker than others... And yet again you get some truly outstanding figures as well (look at Het/Darkwoman. It's like night-and-day with the two figures). The comic packs are NEAR perfection to me. Hasbro just needs to tweak something here and there with any of them, and bam they're amazing! I mean, the Luke/Mara set would be much more outstanding if Luke had articulated knees over articulated ankles. That alone would have garnered no major complaints from me on that set.
If Hasbro were to just do a little fine-tuning to their design of the sets, I'd be in figure heaven with them.
As it is, I'm really not disappointed with them, they're good generally... I just wish they were that notch better is all, because clearly they could be. Of course though, if you dislike EU they suck regardless.
