The risk is that you could end up being forced to pay for a bunch of figures you don't want. Yeah, you can make the argument "But you can just sell them!" but the secondary market for DCIE ain't that hot (there have been pretty plentiful supplies for day-of-sale), and that's additional work that they buyer has to do because Mattel did not provide a product they wanted.

It's not "other collectors" fault if Mattel did not provide a product they wanted at a price they were willing to pay. We've had a year of DCIE to show us the general idea of what we could look forward to. People weighed the options, and in the grand scheme of things not enough of them bought it.

It's a shame, but them's the breaks. Sometimes the things you love aren't as popular as you think they are. Or in the case of DCIE, the DC fanbase is tremendously fragmented into various niches and apparently there simply aren't that many folks that are willing to buy a bunch of "sight unseen" DC figures not knowing who they're going to get. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
