The rudeness here is unfortunate, but thankfully relatively mild. I'm not entirely surprised either, given the tone of the original poster (seemingly accusing FFG of sleazy business practices by not releasing colored tiles on day one, and coming off as a bit petty about something that seems small). Things work better when we all take it down a notch.

BTW I don't think FFG held off on releasing these just to "milk the franchise". Rather it's a matter of having a lot on their plate, and needing to schedule not just release but manufacturing and distribution so it's not a headache (they manage a lot of franchises). And some ideas or requests only come up or become practical once the franchise is out and succeeding to a certain threshold, and even then they might not have time to bring out a lot of great accessory ideas.

From what I can tell, the colored bases released around the same time as Core II, so the extra interest in the game generated by Episode 7 probably seemed like a good time to also produce some fun accessories. But that's my guess.
