There is nothing wrong with the main ones. I would say the 12 X-men from the Blue and Gold run from the early 90s, Cable, Deadpool, Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, Emma and X-23 are far and away your core X-Men and it's understandable there would be a focus on those.

That does not mean though that people are not fans of other characters. And if we have wave after wave of the same characters it WILL get old. The first 2-3 waves maybe not, and it's almost a given that Hasbro will want to cover their bases, after they're done once, will that be ALL that people want to see?

Also, just because Marvel Now is the now, it won't be forever. At some point it will be Marvel then. Just as many people have a sense of nostalgia for the Jim Lee or Byrne X-Men that's their right, if what you like is Marvel Now, that's great, you're right to. But the line and designs will move on to something else, and that will be the focus then. Focus, but it shouldn't be purely that. I think a throwback design is not a bad thing to include at times.

Finally, I do not recommend begrudging people's want of non core characters. We all have our favorites, some are core and some are more obscure. It won't seem as logical to stick to core characters when a second tier character you want made hasn't been made because of the want of Hasbro to stick to only core characters.
