I don't recall a consensus on preference of poses etc, but I agreed with the following. I.e. a variety of poses of basic alien infantry in particular is more important than leaders and gobblers. Especially as Gobblers are already a pack being sold separately with nice variety - it would seem fitting to have complementary variety amongst the basic alien infantry, and a metal pack of leaders with variety also. People who already paid for metal Gobblers have commented they will be annoyed if they are suddenly included on the sprue.

Leaders are the least important unreleased figure to be plastic, they're the least numerous unit, so their inclusion in plastic is not particularly important. Honestly, after the break, I don't think any of those need to be plastic at all, better to have them in metal as Add-Ons. I know i have in my bits box a bazillion duplicates of the characters that were packaged in with various basic sets, because I simply do not need very many of them. Keeping them metal also allows for:
Better and multiple poses for the Aliens (including, one hopes, some sort of super heavy armoured option, perhaps as an entirely seperate sprue) More options for Humans (such as political officer)
and better detail for all. Plastic Leaders seems like something that is better off left out, with the moneys being spent to produce cheaper and more plentiful metal add-ons (or more basic poses. I know i'd rather see three Alien poses than two and a boss, atleast on the sprue that is likely to be acquired in bulk)
