I think I can handle most of this one based upon Hasbro's Q&A's from the last year or so.
The EU Comic 2 Packs have been officially cancelled and will be ending with the next assortment which will be released in roughly March.
The EU wave of Legacy Figures is due soon(already out in the USA I believe) with Jacen Solo, Jaina Solo, K"kruhk, Shaak Ti and a couple more.
Hasbro has said that they will not be focused on the EU again until at least mid 2011 if not later due to poor sales from the Comic Packs.
They do have two TRU exclusive sets, tied in from The Force Unleashed 2, due out this year.
As well some EU figures will be convention exclusives this year while the Disney theme parks will sell a set including two characters from the Ewok films.
Thats pretty much all we can expect to see in the next year, EU wise.
As for the BAD Exclusives, I think Hasbro is not going to be doing those any longer either. Maybe just clarify the question a little. If you want to simply ask which BAD droids get chosen, that would be different than asking about the defunct exclusives. I'm not sure which one your aiming for there. Let us know and we can send it in next time.
