To me $255 is a bit much to commit only knowing the four figures that have been confirmed to date (Atrocitus, Jay Flash, Starman, and one of the horrid lineup of oversized club exclusive figures: Shaggy Man, Rocket Red, BL Swamp Thing, & Metron) and the future releases of a revised Sinestro Corps Sinestro & White Lantern Barry Flash, but the worst anyone can do on these things if they are made will be to break even. Keep the figs you otherwise wouldn't have any chance of getting and then sell the others at whatever price the market will provide. I presume anyone who does will make more on the deal than the price per fig less those you keep for yourself.

The aftermarket is a b*tch, and these figs won't get made any other way.

I promise you that $255 hurts me as much as it would most people, but it will all come back around to you. If a credit card is your only option, I wouldn't recommend anything with an interest rate of more than 10% (you have to draw the line somewhere), but if they plan to release these in reduced quantities, there will be a market for them. Keep the ones you like, sell the ones you don't.

One correction, White Lantern Flash, and SC Sinestro are DCUC wave 20 retail releases (BBTS has them for preorder right now).

The problem with reselling the figures is, likely the ones that will be easy resells (IE, go for what they're worth, or even slightly higher) are likely characters that will have the widest appeal. Acrocitus and Jay Garrick will be hard to buy, and easy to sell.
I can't see Starman,, Metron, or Shaggyman being easy to unload. Black Lantern Swamp Thing, and Rocket Red fall into an ambiguous area.
Speaking from purely personal opinion, if they make it out there, I would want them. But if they never got made, I'd not miss them. But I don't want the ones I listed earlier, at all.

Then there's the fact that this is likely the only way we'll ever see Larfleeze, Arisia, Saint Walker, Indigo, or Brother Warth (Oversized).
