I will say If they only get to tier 1 because you do not sign up don't complain. For those of you waiting Just sign up already I have a feeling this will be the last time Mattel does a DC Club line because why bother if people just refuse to do anything. Those of you who want to cherry pick let me tell you you won't be cherry picking if there is no line because you only wanted 2 figures as I've said if you don't want X figure just turn around and sell it.

To me cherry Picking is "I don't care enough about any figures so I can live without getting the ones I want"

There just aren't enough collectors out there that want every random figure that gets made. I am no big into DC at all but if they make a figure I really want I will get it (sub figure or retail). I will not fork over hundred of dollars when I don't care about 90% of the figures they are offering in their sub. It has nothing to do with "not caring" about a line in general but about understanding things that are beyond my control. Even if I had the money and bought 1,000 subscriptions it wouldn't change the popularity of what they make. Capitalism is good and if they can't offer enough of what people want then they should stop making figures. For most people, this whole thing is basically offering Doomsday at a super high price to try and sell the other much less wanted stuff. The subscription largely only makes sense for comic shops and specialty retailers. Outside of that most collectors just aren't down to pay for stuff they don't want.

It's also funny you say don't "cherry pick" but then you tell people to sell the figures they don't want, which would be bought by said "cherry pickers". Can't have it both ways. People will only pay money for what they actually want. None of us are under any obligation to "save the line" or pay salaries over at Mattel. That is their job. The mass of Batman figures warming pegs right now just shows that when DCUC went away they didn't figure out how to fix it. Kinda sad I guess but I have myself plenty of lantern figures and I can be happy with that. Plenty of other things that we could put our money towards.
