I think he was talking about the figure rarity in boosters, not stats or the like. For example, Goblin Shredder will most likely be a common or possibly rare, not legendary, because it's generic. Tyrande and Thrall would most likely be legendary, because they're such iconic figures in Warcraft (the online game, the storyline, etc).
