Ya it's a big disappointment when they made the count dooku into a magnet. The dooku solar sailer has nothing special other than the ship and speeder bike despite it being a limited edition set. I hope they don't make Barris into a magnet cause if she was, theres nothing too special from the set with the high price.
There is a balance. People who can't afford the sets will be happy with magnets. People that have the sets already will be frustrated because their figures will not be worth as much. Personally, I would prefer no magnets. Prepare to see CW palpatine price drop from $15 to $4 and nute gunray / onaconda from $8 to $3 once these magnets hits the market.
