It's really a natural time to get EU into the line, what with the movies done.
I'm not crazy about the Marvel comic 2-packs, but they're okay to a degree. I've read most, if not all of the Dark Horse titles so it's a bit easier for me to get into those sets.
I think Evolutions is a fine platform with which to get into the EU. Getting characters like Darth Bane, Darth Nihilus, Mandalore and NJO Luke is very cool. Especially since some may not be well suited to the Comic 2-pack format.
The EU basic figures are cool. Especially the KOTOR and Clone Wars offerings. I'm very stoked for Darth Malak and Darth Revan as well as Roron Corobb and CW Yoda.
As for the EE set? Hmmm. This one I'm on the fence about a tiny bit. Case in point, the armor of one of the Mandalorians pretty much matches that of an EU Mandalorian named Kal Skirata. But is that his name? Nope. Generating new characters for the sole purpose of making new figures seems to me like jumping the shark. So I'm still a little skeptical about buying the EE Mandalorian and Clone sets.
