News that this line is getting cancelled is really disappointing to me.

I really like what they've been able to do with some of the comic packs so far.

However, I can't help but notice (and now comment on) the fact that there have been FAR TOO MANY reissues in this line!

The clunker Marvel sets that Hasbro trotted out as the first mass-release wave of this format, all received a "repaint" variation in the same packaging and then recently with the Red/White packaging, they brought back out the Vader/Rebel and Han/Chewie sets. Why? Were the previous two releases of these sets not enough?

Why did the first EIGHT Red/White packs need to be primarily repacks? I'm sorry, but there is no excuse why the latest wave of Comic 2-packs couldn't have just been 2x each of the three new ones (numbered 1, 2 and 3) and then 1 of the Luke/Deena and 1 of the Mundi/Hett sets STILL in the Blue/White packaging - the packaging is the SAME SIZE, they could have cross packed Blue/White and Red/White in the same case.

Heck if that's a problem put 3x each of the Katarn/Vong set and 3x each of the Krayt/Dare set and then just 2x each of the Luke/Lumiya set.

All I see in stores around here are Red/White packs #1, #2, #4, #5 and #6 - and they are in abundance. What made them think that the Wedge/Borssk set was so great it needed to ship again? In most instances there are still Blue/White comic packs left and almost always it's the Wedge/Borssk set!

Maybe what they need to do is send their reps around and pull all of the Blue/White Comic packs AND all five of the Red/White repacks and fire the idiot who created the mess in the first place.

If they had shipped a case like I suggest above and those sets were what was clogging the pegs, then sure I would concede and say "huh, I guess the comic 2-packs aren't selling so well" - however, when a "new" case of the comic packs comes in and the three new sets fly out the door leaving the refuse behind, I blame the peg clogging on ineptitude, not on poor sales.

I've said it on various different threads dedicated to this sub-line before - the assortments should ALWAYS just be four new comic 2-packs, packaged 2x per case. That allows for the cases to easily be marketed where they would most like do the best - with adult collectors who may choose to buy them online. If I didn't always end up with junk I didn't want more of, I would gladly buy cases of comic packs that were 100% new sets with each wave.

If these had been $60 a set instead of $85 a set, I would have been more inclined to pick up a third set of these to open. $180 for three sets is a much better pill to swallow then $170 for two sets.

The other contributing factor for me was that even though they have yet to re-release a BAD figure, I feel that one day, they will either start making the BAD figures easier to obtain either via gift sets, or as a fully-assembled carded figures or perhaps even as a mail-away figure offers and out of all of the BADs so far, the most prime candidate for that kind of "second chance" is the Dark Trooper - even if it's a Dark Trooper silver repaint like the original POTF2 EU release version.

I never thought they would have re-released the McQuarrie figures back in 2007, and even though the sets are missing accessories, they are easily available in 2009.

Expensive day - in addition to picking up some CW stuff, I also grabbed:

1x Gelagrub Patrol BP
1x New Endor BP

and a bunch of Legacy Collection figures I wanted extras of:
Gungan Warrior, Jawa w/Security Droid, Utai, SA Commander Bacarra, Imperial Scanning Trooper

I also picked up the last figure I needed to be all caught up with Legacy Figures through the ROTS wave - Concept Ki-Adi Mundi (yeah!)

Looks like I'm going to need to turn my attention to the Target Exclusive CW battle packs next while still keeping an eye out for more regular issue BPs in the new Red/White packaging...

It would be great for a break, but that's probably not going to come until around Christmas!

Shared exclusive?  That's interesting.  I wonder if the line then will get a reboot for the TV show next year, in some capacity?

There's going to be a new Star Trek TV series next year?

Can anyone who has the new Endor BP - is the Jedi Luke the new Legacy Collection Luke with a Poncho and Helmet or is it an older base-sculpt figure?

I'm hoping it's the new Jedi Luke with the extra Endor gear, but I don't think that will be the case...

I picked up an opener set of this wave this morning and I just opened it now.

I gotta say this wave is really nice and with the exception of the ANH continues a pretty good trend of new figures in the 2009 Black/White Legacy Collection.

The Commander Cody figure is a nice upgrade, the ball jointed hips are a nice touch. I can't get the lightsaber to plug into the hole in my Cody's belt, which is okay since as others have pointed out, the belt was put in upside down.

The Jeremoch Colton figure is nice, I think I like it because now we have a third "behind the scenes" cameo figure - for everyone out there who likes to get figures signed, you now have something to get Jeremy Bulloch to sign that is actually a representation of him.

The Utai is a nice sculpt and well articulated.

Plo Koon and Agen Kolar are nice upgrades/updates of the previous releases - now if Hasbro would just stop putting the older version of Plo Koon in their Legends line, we'll be all set.

The Concept IG-88 fits in nicely with the McQuarrie figures from 2007. I'm sorta confused as to why the Concept Ki-Adi-Mundi wasn't in this wave and the IG-88 wasn't in with the ANH wave, but oh well.

At first when I saw photos of the YVH-1 I was like "what is the Terminator endo-skeleton doing in the SW line?" but once I learned the story behind these droids, I was cool with it being offered. It's definitely a nice addition to the BAD sub-set of figures.

Came across the ROTS wave at a couple WMs this morning. Scored a complete set of six to open and a Concept IG-88 for a friend.
