Though there's little about these platforms to write home about, and the figures leave much to be desired, you have to give Hasbro credit for trying. Playsets are consistently talked about in many collector circles and the Battle Arenas at least try to bring a new dimension to that genre. Unfortunately, collectors will be looking for something more representative of the actual movie sets, and kids whose play habits are dominated by sensory overloading video games will quickly move on to anything else. Hopefully, should Hasbro find themselves looking at this type of line again, they’ll take those factors into consideration. For now, fans of all ages can look forward to these set hitting retail next month.

What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
I'd be willing to start from scratch.
I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
