SOTE was definitely the choice that came to my mind first too OCB... Tons of stuff that basically replaced the basic line for a time, and for a failed multi-media event... The comic, game, and novels weren't ever really hot for SOTE when they were out and the toy line failed with them I think...
Clone Wars I think had better legs personally. The first Wave definitely sat, as Anakin and Yoda really pegwarmed for a while. The vehicles seemed to move ok as did the deluxe... The one Deluxe that screwed the pooch was the Destroyer pack...
The 2nd wave of CW did better, at least in my area, and while it wasn't hard to find it wasn't OVERLY abundant. The third wave of CW though was a bitch to find for me and I've never seen Durge on the pegs to this day save for the Deluxe one. I think had the CW line come out more in-line with the cartoon, and had it been more realistic to the cartoon (not cartoon style mind you, but just that like maybe Yoda came with his mount and looked as he did in the toon, and Obi-Wan came out with General's Armor on, and Anakin came out with removable robes for his Yavin IV duel and such), that the line would've definitely done better... It seemed too far off the mark I guess.
I think EU has its place, but I definitely think it loses steam when it starts replacing the film figures... I'm surprised they're doing such secondary characters first instead of trying like a "Luke in...." outfit. Like NJO Luke perhaps, or some such. EU that's still got an OT tie-in or some such, but what do I know?
