If Hasbro is going to experiment with ideas like a 5 PoA kid-focused line, a collector-focused 3 3/4" line (both of which they are handling relatively poorly, IMO), and a collector-focused 6" line, I'm glad that they are doing this sort of experimentation now, instead of when the Ep. VII figures are released. I am sincerely hoping that they are using this time to work out all of the kinks, learn from their mistakes, and realize what both collectors and kids do and don't want. They have about maybe a little over a year before the Ep. VII figures have to be sculpted and put into production, so I hope they use this time wisely and get their act together so that we don't get sub-par Ep. VII figures.

EDIT: At their best, the Clone Wars figures had great articulation as well as playability. They were great for collectors and kids. I, for one, wouldn't mind it Hasbro were to return to that type of figure (of course, without the cartoonish aesthetic, obviously, lol) after they finish wading through this little debacle with these little Saga Legends and rarely-stocked Black figures.
Ideally, we'll get figures with Clone Wars-style articulation and accessories (for kids and collectors) AND figures for us collectors that are on par with the cancelled Vintage line. Hasbro has the opportunity to make a killing off of these figures when Ep. VII comes out, so I hope they are taking these figures and their designs seriously. If they fail with the Ep. VII figures, they deserve for Disney sell the license to someone else after its expiration.
