Yeah, I hear ya! I remember the days of DCSH when they were $8.99. I KNOW I got a Cyborg Superman from Big Lots with a big ol' $9 sticker on it back when he was ridiculously hard to find and going for like $60 on eBay. Now they are $16 plus tax at Target and Walmart. Kmart had them for $12.99 for a long time (except around here my KMarts only had wave 13 -- one had wave 15), but I think with this reset they upped it to over $15 ($15.29?).

So yeah I know there's reluctance to pay for figures we don't want. At $15 I definitely had to stop being a completist to being choosey on which ones to get. So I guess what I'm saying is if they made sub-group subscriptions there'd be less chance for a person to get someone they don't want.

They're charging $15 plus shipping (and tax I assume) for a figure. That's not that much more than retail. The die-hard collectors this is designed for will probably pony up for it. And the oversize figures at $30 doesn't sound all that bad. Many of the existing CNC's go for that or more on eBay. And you don't have to buy some figures you don't want in order to complete him, like you do now with the waves.
