While I don't disagree with the core of anything you've just said, the simple fact is both Sheploo and Legion are 'filler' characters for me, in any Mass Effect collection that I was to put together. Having them on the shelf amongst any of my favourite characters from the saga is something I'd be fine with, and on those terms I'd be happy to buy them. But alone the pair of them don't make for a collection that I'm willing to lay down that kind of cash for. That's even putting aside the simple fact that the resale market for most collectibles down here sucks, so the chance of getting one's money back is slim at best.
If I knew that there was at least solid plans for them to do characters that I love from the franchise, then I'd be a lot more willing to lay down cash for these releases now, in the hopes of getting some favourites later. But as it stands, it is just too much money to roll the dice on blindly, hoping for future glory. I might still grab Legion, but if I do it has to be because I've decided I do want him on my shelf, otherwise it will just disappoint me if nothing else comes of this line.
Right now, though, I'm also waiting to see what Gaming Head's next Mass Effect statue announcement is, as I have also been very tempted by their output as well. For the moment, though, I'll just have to continue sitting on the fence, I'm afraid...
