Shard Shop Question

With the latest update for Phoenix Squadron, I see that Nihilus and the other Sith have been removed from the shard shop.
Bit annoyed by this as I've been saving up to get Nihilus for weeks, but it got me wondering:
Since the post for Phoenix says they are here for a limited time, will the Sith be returning after this event, or will the Squadron be here for a while like the Sith were?
  • the sith will not return.

    its always unclear how long they will be there and after they are gone it will go to the next toons being released.
  • Phoenix will go away, and they might put someone new. But Baze, K-2SO, Krennic, Deathtrooper, etc. haven't come back yet, so there's no reason to believe Nihilus will anytime soon.
  • Phoenix will go. Gar and ISC will go in. That's how it works. Should be a few weeks.
  • This isn't ok. Unless you drop crystals getting Nihilus​ to 7* is now going to take a rediculous amount of time. Now that he's "farmable" on the Dark Side nodes it's hella hard getting a single shard. I get 1 shard every two days. So now these Phoenix Squad characters can get 5 shards from shops, up to 3 for node farming, and now the shard shop as well? No! There's already TONS of rebel characters. So now the only way to get him is to farm one node for 3 battles once a day, unless you save your crystals to buy 4-8 shards for 320-640 crystals.

    Saving for weeks to get 1,000 shard shop coins? Because if you've had more than that you have only yourself to blame, not EA. They said from the beginning that Nihilus & Co. would only be in the shard shop for a limited time, so there's no reason not to have gotten at least 5 shards when you hit 1,000 coins.

    Really, "no one but himself to blame"? Man shut up!! The exchange rate should be shard for shard in the bloody 1st place. Thanks for trying to make the dude feel dumb for asking a good question you tool. That exchange rate is as ridiculous as the cantina drop rate. The amount of shard I drop in there daily I should have had 3 darth nihilus by now.

    I already have Nihilus, I was just looking to level him up to 4 star and finally use him in my Guild's Raids.
    Could've dropped 4k shards on him before, but now I can use them on others I need instead.

    Thanks. I agree, the exchange rate is terrible, but at least now I can use them on others I need and just level him slowly (once I get to his node that is).
