I'm so happy I never really started collecting the DCUC figures from Mattel. They look great, but much like the latter series' of my beloved Marvel Legends, they appear impossible to collect since they're virtually non-existent in most stores and completely haphazard in their distribution through Diamond. I don't mind something being rare if it's rare by necessity - like a limited bust or statue. But when it comes to those, if I order one before the date in Previews, I ALWAYS get it. Superman vs. Darkseid, my Women of the DCU statues, my Sandman bookends. I don't like mass retail products that are tough to get. I have the money, I want the product, the company makes the product, the company doesn't want my money so it doesn't make the product available to me. Seems kinda pointless, though giving up said Marvel Legends and not bothering with the DCUC line has given me the ability to order the truly more collectible pieces in my collection, so that's a plus. My money goes where my money's wanted - I shouldn't have to fight to GIVE it to someone.
