I look at it this way. The minor factions will always be that. I didnt expect Vong in this set at all. I did expect OR and Mandos, and I am pretty sure two of the figures in the set started as such and likely got nixed to fringe. Its still certainly possible that some of the figs might still do something for those factions through affinity or otherwise.
All in all though, the minor factions will get some great stuff. Just from what we know so far, Exar has some nice new friends in the Ugo armies. I am extremely excited about that prospect.
The Telosian Tank Droid I thought was OR, is OR era and was used by them. Being fringe though means it can be used by Seps as well - so I kinda like that change. What good would an OR droid really offer anyways?
I thought I read that Rob posting "Happiness is a faction where all the factions are represented." Or something like that. So I did expect the OR, Sith, Mandos, Vong and NR to at least have one figure each.
I'm disappointed on the one hand, that some of the minor factions didn't get representation, but I'm excited about what we're potentially getting from this new set.
With regards to the Telosian Tank Droid, it would be cool to give some kind of affinity or rapport with a certain faction. Like, the Tank Droid costs less if it's in an OR squad. Some kind of incentive to pair them together...
