I'm with you on this one and I anticipate this is the direction several companies with an arm for collectors are going to start going, or at least something closer to the "made to order" models. I personally like the approach as it can help curtail scalping and minimize surplus, like you mentioned.

Good Smile Company is smaller than most people realize, but they seems to manage quite well with how they handle preorders and even are even willing run addition batches of figures based on market demand or resurging media popularity. I think 1000Toys also do something similar.
