I went ahead and voted for Sith. They only have high-cost figures and they definitely need a 10-point trooper. What do you think?

I agree with what you're saying about the Sith, but I personally would like to see more love for the Wookies.

I feel bad for the Wookies. They used to be great in respects of series 1. Now they are in desperate need of a 10 point wookies strikers.
How nice would it be to have a special "wookies rage" where you get to pull the arms off of your opponents figures. ;D

SITH!! They need to strike fear into the hearts of Attacktix players everywhere. Seriously, at this moment, they have exactly two really good figures (you figure out who...) and a pure-Sith squad is just far too expensive to bother with.
Sure, it could be argued that there just aren't that many Sith in the movie but, come on, we're talking about the freaking Sith. If Hasbro was willing to tap into EU, they could add Lumiya, Malak, Revan, Bane, Naga Sadow, Marka Ragnos, Sith Soldiers, Exar Kun, Massassi Mutants, Ulic-Qel Droma, a certain someone from the "Legacy of the Force" series, and (best of all) Darth Nihilus. There's more than enough figures there to make a great faction, Hasbro would just have to delve into EU waters to drag them up from the depths.

Both the Wookiees and Sith need a 10-point trooper. I picked the Sith as they at least have the Chewbacca with the double attackback, so an army of those would be formidable.

Totally Sith. The Sith really only have Maul, Sidious, Dooku, Emperor, and Vader. That's pretty weak, compared to every other faction. As G said, I think that they need some good marquis figures, but more important than virtually anything else, they need some good support figs. Like a "Sith Apprentice" Jedi knight repaint with a 15% attackback Sith. And a Sith Infiltrator Specialist with a 38% rally Sith. It's the lack of any true support structure that makes them so diminutive in our minds.
The wookiees suck too, but at least they work OK with some other factions.

In the upcoming game "Star Wars: Force Unleashed" Vader has a secret apprentice. Maybe he could be a good 10-Pointer...

Like a "Sith Apprentice" Jedi knight repaint with a 15% attackback Sith. I've been thinking the same thing for months now. I'd love to get some evil Jedi Knights. Then there would be an even better reason to "turn to the dark side".

Yeah. I'd really like a Sith competitor to S2 Starter Obi Wan and his Recover 69% if Trooper is in play. You would think there would be a Sith Clone trooper for the clones that were around immediately after the rise of Palpatine to Emperor. Also the Sith Apprentices, those from the Sith Academy...

D'oh! How'd I miss the deceptively simple Sith Apprentice? I must go and pound my head against a wall now . But, yeah, I agree that they need support figures more than marquees. They have the muscle, they just need the skeleton to hold it up. My ideas for various support figures: Darth Maul's Sith Probe Droid (Flight?, small missile, small base, 10 points, in the movies so no worries about EU-ness, most likely choice IMO) Sith Apprentice (Exactly like Jedi Knight but darker) Sith Trooper from KOTOR (Perfect standard shooter army builder, Armor would be awesome if completely Chromed) Massassi Mutant (Big ol' monstrosities with axes, Awesome) Clone Trooper (Blue armor for the 501st in the Jedi Temple scene) There are five ideas that Hasbro could use to make Sith support figures. All they'd need is one and the Sith would seriously rise in influence.

The sith definitely need some more figures, it would be awesome if there were more 20 pt figures like Dooku and I would be so scared if they made a 10 pt figure for the sith *shuttering*.

I am glad you mentioned the trooper, Superfly, because that is exactly what I was thinking. He needs to obviously be 10 points, small missile, 4 speed, Attack back "sith" with a 15-23% probability.
And yes Grievous. Making them into the blue and white 501st legion is an excellent idea!

Support figures would be cool for the Sith, but I remember in Episode 2 (I think) Yoda saying something like: "Always 2 Sith, there are. A master and an apprentice." Plagueis(sp?) + Sidious Sidious + Maul (dead)... so.....Sidious +Dooku (dead).... so....Sidious + Vader And that chick in the Clone Wars wouldn't count as a Sith, since Dooku reminded her time and time again that she was not. Having additional apprentices would break the balance of the force! ;D

Excuse me while I flaunt my EU knowledge. Yoda is referring to the "Rule of Two" in Episode I. However, long before that (like four thousands of years) there was a time (many times, actually) when the Sith were as prominent, possibly even more-so, as the Jedi. At some point, I believe in the area of two thousand years before Episode I, Darth Bane ended up deciding that this wasn't a good idea because it split the power of the Dark Side amongst too many people. So he went ahead and eradicated 99% of the Sith by gathering them all to one spot. He then took an apprentice and, after that, the Sith went on their merry way but only in pairs. The pre-Bane time is where the Sith Apprentice would come from. From an even longer time ago in that galaxy, far, far away... ;D

Only joking, your EU knowledge is impressive, so no offense.
