Build-a-playset is very possible when done right. The problem is that it's been mixed in approaches so far, up until Fortenite, it's been very half-assed except for a few instances. Usually held back by the figures themselves. Like if Mattel tried it again using the new Jurassic World standard, it'd likely sell really well for DC stuff. (Which tbh, they could straight up repackage the hall of justice pieces from YJ for that even.)

This is my point. The Trek set was designed to be released in 2 waves and the second wave never happened, leaving the set incomplete. This was a critical fail for Playmates which they have done nothing to correct, ever. If there was ever any possibility of the second wave not being done, the set should never have been designed to be released that way. The problem with the HoJ was the last 3 stealth figures were undercirculated, making the set difficult but not impossible to complete. The Fortnight set is simple and expandable and does not require multiple waves to complete. It does not have the complexity of the other 2, but it does what it is intended to do, making it a total success.
