Well, your previous post suggested otherwise.

And if it helps keep the line profitable, so that we can keep getting new figures, what's the problem with that?

Which character was repeated in "every wave" with Marvel Legends? There were case assortment issues, but the Toy Biz solution to that was Build A Figure, a concept that obviously wouldn't work for G.I. Joe. By the time Hasbro aqcuired the license, that was well established, so that wasn't anything they corrected. In fact, the same BAF approach is going to be used by Mattel in their transition from DCSH to DCUC, due to complaints about Batman and Superman in every wave.
Characters like Batman and Snake-Eyes appear so often because, whether collectors want to admit it or not, they
sell
.

What's with this "should" stuff? Can't we just not buy what we already have when it's released as part of another wave? That makes it easier for more casual, non-completist collectors to acquire the most popular characters, and the extra dollars earn line managers more money in the creative budget.
What they
should
do is whatever it takes to make money with the line and continue to bring us quality versions of great characters. If that means a Snake-Eyes in every wave, then so be it.
