Yes please!

I'd be all over these in a heartbeat. Especially if later on they managed to make them universally compatible switchable for more varied combinations for repeats.

Sure doom's throne, or GR's bikes would be hard to do that way, but apartment pieces, street pieces, building pieces would be much easier if they weren't pieces that are only for certain things.

Like say Four Freedoms plaza, have reed and sue come with the doors while other troop building type figures like the mole kids come with a room piece or building piece that can be used multiple times. Ditto to shield or hydra or aim. Let the named characters have the obligatory single use piece, and then let the noname troops come with a repeated piece that can build around it.

This could also work with X-Men really well. Let Professor X have the danger room door or cerebro helmet, but then let the rest of the X-team of that wave have the repeated piece of Danger room walls/floors. Or let emma frost have the cerebro console/helmet or door while the cuckoos have a 5 piece repeated set that forms the cerebro room around it.

This helps balance cost, allows massive reuse, and keeps the figures moving to finish these scenes. Even allows for fans/kids to trade them based on what they still need to finish building their universe.

I've gone on a huge explanation about that idea before long ago. xD

As for doom's throne room though. Let doom come with the throne in a vehicle type box, while the doombots come with a repeated piece for the throne room that does walls and floors. Or something similiar like that.

Fantastic 4 is a perfect example for the fantasticar though since each one would have their seat on it.

For GR's bike, maybe do it in halves. Human identity gets half the bike, GR form has the other half of the bike. Addedd bonus if the wheels are swappable for flame wheels when applicable to the character. Or make a universal bike type, that then has the handle bars with front crest and wheels with whatever figure that needs those. Like say Ketch ghost rider would have flame wheels and his front board, whereas cap's variation would have a shield storage front handlebar and normal wheels. Then let the bike be built from other aspects of the wave that are troop building types or human Johnny Blaze figure with stunt bike type box like the suggest doom throne.

Tons of ways you could do it really if you just sat down and worked out how to balance costs per figure per wave. I just tend to favor the boxed single starter part way for some. This also lets you have some debris for your dios if you want them like tires and stuff. Or in the case of the X-Men they could do an interlocking sentinel debris field type stand like ML/MS used to do.
