Hasbro just has too much product anymore. With Marvel, Gi Joe and Star Wars, they just can't keep up with the demands. Maybe instead of doing a figure of Clegg Holdfast, the Rancor Keeper and others one hit wonders, like Ak-rev who we only saw for a split second, maybe they should have focuse more on characters with more screen time or more popular characters from the comics and books. Look how long it took them to do jacen and jaina figures that people had wanted for a long time.

The best thing they can do is drop a line...maybe Gi Joe. The new movie versions are okay, but they're just modern re-do of the same characters. Gi Joe had a great run, but the only thing I have seen from this line is an abundance of peg warmers. At least with Star Wars most of the new figures fly off as soon as they are put up...well except for Yarna Dal Gargan. The local Wal-Mart has at least of dozen of her.

The other problem is pricing:

Marvel Universe: 8.44
Gi Joe: 5.00 (and still nobody is buying them)
Star Wars: 7.46

With Joes you get ton of accessories (at least with some figures) and a stand. Star Wars you get the figure, maybe and extra accessory and a build-a-figure piece. And MU, you get a figure and a envelope with a card and a note. If taking out that useless crap would drop the price of the figure by a dollar or more, I may get into the line, but with the economy in the state that it is and the prices of the products, I can only focus on Star Wars. And now they are ending one of the best products in the line. Ditch the Galatic Heroes and use more of that time and money in what everyone really wants.
