If they would put all these supposed A-listers that they were going to put in CIE at retail instead, they'd sell.

They'll figure it out when the new cartoon-y 6" line fails. It'll be kinda like when Marvel Legends went through a slump a few years ago. Maybe they can trickle out a few two-packs to Toys R Us. We'll be starved/hungry for DCUC and we'll take whatever we can get. Even repacks and repaints. Like Superboy with a straight-up re-release of Superman. "Father and Son" -- Damian with a rerelease of Batman. Straight rerelease of Fire (or retool in a different outfit) with Ice. Both versions of Doomsday for SDCC next year. Not sure what to do with Aquaman. . .unless they'd go for making Mera too.

Then maybe they'll resurrect when Superman 2 comes out in 2015. 2014 will be slow, but they could make money on these still with little effort.

But I know they've already gone the two-pack route before, and they've probably turned off retailers to them, due to poor product choice.

--Yellow Hal and Blue Kyle -- basically two repaints
--red AzBats and blue Batman -- again, basically repaints
--Supergirl and Lex -- repaints, with kryptonite (ooh! aah!)
--Parasite and Superman -- straight rereleases
--Hawkgirl and Gentleman Ghost -- straight rereleases
--Aquaman and Black Manta -- repaints

Give us one NEW figure (that they've already "made"; to make the purchase compelling) and a rerelease of a core character and they'd sell. At least I'd buy them. And I'd rather pay $35 or $40 at retail for that than nearly $27 each through the club.

Toy Guru, please feel free to take my idea. I won't sue for plagarism.
