Yes this is one strategy, but without 2013 subscribers no new figures will be made after the remaining 10 or so prototypes so there won't be figures available to pick-up online.

Not subscribing is fine if you are content with only mainstream New 52 figures from the DC Unlimited line & whatever mainstream Batman Unlimited figures they may produce.

No chance of seeing obscure characters this way tho.

Works for folks who do not collect outside of silos, but really sucks for team builders and completionists.
