GF's kids got that figure, and I really didn't realize how bad it was till I saw it opened. They hated it too, and the thing's post bent so it was pretty well broke right away. A terrible figure really. I don't think the Deluxe line was a big flop though for ROTS, I really do think there's more than just the two Vaders that were good.
Like Yoda with Cancel is good for what it is... Not in the film and all, it's still a unique figure, and pretty big for $10. The Stass w/BARC was great too I thought. I wish Hasbro would resculpt the Speederbike and put it out with a new Super Articulated Biker Scout (and clear stand for the bike so it "hovers").
I also thought the Spider Droid was a marked improvement, and while the Crab Droid wasn't the best for detail, it's a BIG ASS figure, no doubt. Really nice in that regard. Too big for the one most clearly seen in the film (that the Clone stands on) but I guess either bigger ones are BARELY visible in ROTS or the EU's made up that there are various sizes but the droids are all the same "style" and look, just bigger with bigger bite.
The Vulture Droids, Clones, Obi/Droid, and the Palpatine were all the sets I wasn't wild about though. I think Vulture Droids could've used a resculpt personally, and the others I just didn't like or hadn't liked the first time I saw them.
