That's not exactly a fair assessment, Tony. I couldn't buy many DCUC at retail because the distribution was so abysmal and I don't know how post-ToyBiz Marvel Legends copes with essentially the same problem. Flipping to a mystery all-in subscription model was never going to be the answer. Somebody smart would've sold a series of small giftsets through MattyCollector, solving most of the stupid problems (distribution, selection, extortion, etc). I'll indeed shift my focus; to where is unclear but all signs thus far point away from Mattel.
