The Legacy Collection launched in 2008, and still runs to date. The series is considered by a lot of collector's to be broken down into (so far) three sets. These individual sets are depicted by a change in the card design. We're going to take a look at two of those three sets here as the third one is still a current running line.
BASIC FIGURESCollection one's card is shaped like a Stormtrooper helmet with a rounded bubble. Hasbro released the first wave of basic figures in two variations. The first was actually labeled with a "1st Day Issue" sticker, and the Star Wars logo was etched in foil. The second is the standard card with no foil or sticker.

Disturbance in the Force (San Diego Comic Con)EVOLUTIONSThe Evolution series which initially started as a series to show the beginning and end evolution of characters was now leaning more towards groups of random figures. In most cases, the figures weren't related to each other with the exception of the faction they belonged to. It was more of an excuse to produce multipacks as opposed to being about the actual evolution of one particular character. Despite this, there were some pretty cool sets that came about as a result of this change.
