Probably would have helped if they had more recognizable ships in the first wave, box makeup seemed to be multiple ventris and one or two of the other ships.

I know every new line has to hit the "classics" to try and get interest, but this line was actually only slightly better than others.
They did provide some never before made ships which was great. Ventress' ship, and Moff Gideon's Outland Tie Fighter. However after that everything else in wave one was something we have seen before. Either a million times (Slave One, Millenium Falcon, X-Wing, Tie Fighter, etc) or a repaint of something we have had before as a "chase."
So they had lots of recognizable ships in wave one to kick off the line. However I think they flooded the market with so much product from wave one, and it was mostly stuff we all have in some form already. Then the price wasn't great, especially in Canada, and it was probably a bit of a hard sell without supporting media.
Overall I think the line is great, but like so many lines now I have multiples of most of the iconic ships/figures so there really is nothing new for me outside of new ships. However since they seem to have gotten stuck on wave 1, and a bit of wave 2, I am not finding much I really want, and definitely not at prices I would be willing to pay.
