Hasbro Cancels Star Wars Droid Factory Line

I don't collect SW currently, but every time I see new droids I really need to fight the instinct to buy them. The functionality and gimmicks they can pack into these 3.75" scale figs are really rather neat.

That Astromech droid multi-pack was pretty cool, but I have been able to hold off from buying it to date.

Same here, I bought a few last year that were on clearance. But there's just sooo much Star Wars stuff out there that I would be broke and living in a box.

Well. So much for the Mara Jade figure that the fans VOTED ON.

Some of the planned figures will make it into the reworked 3.75" line. Hopefully she will be included in that line.

Eh, I'm glad the Droid Factory was cancelled. I hated buying extra figures just to get a droid part I needed. There's still a couple from the last round that I haven't tracked down yet. I'm happy just to buy good figures that I really want without having to worry about a bulid-a-figure.

Eh more money for Masters of the universe.

I hope so. Honestly, wouldn't mind if she were the only figure from that line to be carried over. How many Darth Vader figures do we really need? Whereas Mara has had two figures. One in the 90s and one fairly recent one that...well, to say it sucked is being too nice.
