But if they are planning to just rerelease the purple version than yah... that's just dumb... it will just end up pegwarming like all the white Storms at Target.

I can understand this sentiment even if I don't agree. Not getting the version you want sucks especially when Hasbro technically made it but its not accessible. A retro version would probably be the place to reissue the blue version. For me though I really want to see a non-body swapped (or British) Betsy Braddock. My prefered would be the outback armor but I would take her frilly first outfit or even her Captain Britian look. I already have the Nimrod pack Psylocke to be my Kwannon Psylocke (though not an accurate costume for her I like the figure better than the painted on bathing suit look) and I have never really enjoyed the body swap stories as much as I have enjoyed reading about Kwannon dealing with the aftermath during the current run. Kwannon is very interesting as her own character so I want both characters in my collection.

I wonder if we will keep seeing new figures for the retro lines added after the main waves like we did with Rogue and Gambit. It almost seems like Hasbro should have just planned a second or third wave for the X-men and Spider-man lines due to their popularity. Blue Psylocke and Cyclops reissue always seem to get mentioned and a X-men animated series Morph seems like a super easy to make and natural choice.

I also wonder/hope if they will end up doing any purple backed Evil Mutant retros. I know they mentioned the idea in passing during one fan friday and I love the idea. Maybe if the Bring on the Bad Guys wave sells well they would try out another all villians wave. I could easily fill up an Evil Mutants retro wave. My top choices would be:
Exodus
Mastermind (Jason Wyngarde HFC)
Destiny
Mr. Sinister (black colored version)
Toad
Strife (reissue)
Spiral
