Hasbro has a good 7-10 years out of this line if they do it right and retool...when I was a kid, I abandoned Star Wars because GI Joe figures were more detailed, more fun and I had something daily to interest me. The same is happening today. Give me a cartoon to watch and I will buy figures from it. Star Wars is really tanking in my opinion...I have all but stopped looking at the new figures, i go straight for the Joes. So I dont want a movie or a cartoon that will interfere with getting the classic figures that I loved from the 80's
Someone is late to the party... the current line ends mid next year. Once the movie figures ramp up, the modern era line goes away, the redos of the classic figures. The movie line will follow the same articulation and structure as the current figs, but there won't be any more classics released, at least in the way we see them now.
So rather than 7-10 years, you've got about 7-10 months left, if that. I think there are only two more waves that we haven't actually seen yet, and additionally, as you've seen the bulk of the waves are repaints. I think the line has actually wrapped production at Hasbro as they divert attention to the film. They could possibly run a few classic figures here and there, the Q&A's have been less than forthcoming, but all signs point to no as the 8 ball says. We might see a reemergence after the film though.
