So that is the eternal question.

Exclusives of desired characters that are hard to obtain, or middling, little interest characters that will clog shelves for months, thus reducing the desire of retail to carry future lines?

Obviously big retail would rather sell out than sit on product that they have to clearance later down the road.

I fall in the category of exclusives should not be the only way to get main characters. However Cheetor and Primal/Rattrap make sense since you can already get them at regular retail, so some slight paint changes don't move the needle for me personally.

The no name army builders are ok, to a degree. These are nice to have, but not necessary for my collection. However we have seen what a disaster exclusive army builders can be in the GI Joe classified line.
