Now I'm not above changing my mind, if and I mean IF they were to show us the first six figures and one or two of the oversized ones maybe. But I don't trust them, why?

SuperPowers and New Gods. Yes I know many loved them all, I did not yet had to buy them to finish C&Cs. They filled waves with crap characters that didn't sell at retail so many stores didn't carry them. Did I want a Batman in every wave? Sure, just not the SAME (all-stars) Batman.
Dick Grayson Batman
Jason Todd Batman
Golden Age Batman
Red Rain Batman
KC Batman
Superman?
Golen Age (E-2) Superman
Silver Age Superman
KC Superman
Justice Lords Superman ( they did superfriends why not JL)
Robot Superman

There is ten figures, one of theses per wave would have put a Sups/Bats in each wave for two years and many collecters would have gotten them. What did we get? The same Superman over and over, hell we got Barry FIVE times yet no Wally in 20 waves. Yet now they say " trust us to give you what you want" I just have to look at waves 17 &18 and say no thank you.

Well put. And getting me to think more against this. Mattel's biggest problem is they're trapped 30 years in the past. Giving us wave after wave of Super Powers, or Superfriends love. While I don't mind bones being thrown to them, and those fans, their adoration towards those two concepts is a bit over the top. And I forgotten about that (Especially with all the lantern love going around lately. Makes me forget that I'm basically skipping wave 18 and 19).

There's no reason to believe that nothing characters like Tyr will end up being the majority of the club run, while figures like Speedy II, and Larfleeze will be the rare exceptions.
