There's little or no motivation to buys figures for which there isn't a game and rules to play them or rules for which there are no figures. 

If there were well developed rules for alien races that meant they all played differently to each other without being better or worse then people might get motivated to buy them.

When there are loads of human figures and good rules for them and alien ranges are limited and have little or no background details or rules its hard to get inspired.

Most Sci-fi roleplaying games produce a source book for alien races outlining their character and motivations. GW does something similar for its 40K races.

If you want people to buy them you need cool looking models that play well on the table and are supported by background.
