I agree about waiting for a series to be well along before reading it, but I do like to make an exception for the first book - if it turns out to be something I don't want to continue I don't want to be anticipating it and collecting as the series is released and then be disappointed when I finally start it. If I like the first enough to continue, I may wait until others are released and then start over.
That's probably a better strategy but I'm going on faith in Sanderson and the already good reviews for The Way of Kings.

I will only be buying book 1 of Malazan however, instead of the 10 book omnibus just in case I don't like it.
