Yeah, like I said - it's incredible how we have a playset based on what is quickly becoming the biggest film of all time - and we have this thread (which the only activity in a week is folks trying to contradict my observation) and a less than 2-page "spoiler" thread.
It says a lot about the current state of DI, and how the unfortunate mistakes they keep making on it are pretty much dooming it - when Star Wars can't get folks excited, The Good Little Dinosaur ain't gonna cut it, LOL. They've blown a massive, massive opportunity as the only platform with direct TFA content. Go look at the store shelves - stocked full of DI up to the brim (literally, in a lot of places I see like Wal-mart they just have extra stuff tossed in where ever they can shove it) but everything else laid bare after Xmas. There have been 3 Light F/X Luke's sitting on the shelf at the Wal-mart closest to me for almost two weeks. There were four, but I bought one, the rest sit there (and I can tell because the one in front has a mark on his face and hasn't moved).
The fact that there are not 100's or 1000's of new Star Wars fans here discussing DI, and building their own games - one of the major requests of the SW gaming community for years - is astounding. What a missed opportunity. But hey, I'm sure some new exclusive figure will be announced for folks to go chase after soon!
