Ghostbusters Fans,

You know how much love the Matty team has for Ghostbusters, and although we were ready to support a subscription in 2012, sales were lower than we expected. We regret to announce that we have to cancel the 2012 Club Ecto-1 subscription. All 2012 orders will be promptly refunded. If you purchased a 2012 subscription, you should see the refund in your account within 5-7 business days of your refund being processed, depending on your bank. All 2011 subscriptions will continue to ship as scheduled.

Like you, we're disappointed that the subscription will be going away for 2012, but to show our appreciation for you fans who stepped up and bought a 2012 subscription, we're working on a "thank you" just for you. Stay tuned as we'll have something special coming for you in appreciation for your support.

Please know that the Ghostbusters line isn't over! To do right by all Ghostbusters fans, we're still moving forward with the previously announced figures for 2012 (Ready to Believe You Peter with Taxi Cab Ghost, The Rookie, Dana as Zuul) and a fourth figure in the fall, to be announced. These figures will be available at our regular monthly sales. Like our other lines, costs have risen since the brand was launched and the price of the 6" figures will increase to $22 each.

Now on to brighter news. In celebration of the boo bustin' boys' favorite time of the year, we're going to re-release some of your favorite figures during a special Ghostbusters Halloween sale. The sale will run from 10/17 through 10/31, and it's the perfect time to fill in any missing characters in your collection and stock up on favorites. But wait… yes, there's more! Not only will we have a great selection of characters, the October 17 sale will also bring the long-awaited Ghost Trap prop, plus the return of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!

Again, on behalf of the team, thanks for being a loyal fan. Long live the Ghostbusters!

P.S. Please know that all of the other subscriptions are 100% a done deal and there will no other cancellations. 2012 is locked and loaded with plenty more awesome surprises and reveals for Power-Con and NYCC!

So no more sub, but we're still going to try and sell you what we have left in stock at an inflated price. I'm worried for Club Lion Force and He-Man. Signing a contract with Matty obviously means nothing to them.

I understand Matty's reasoning for the cancellation of the Ghost Busters sub, but I do wonder why they didnt mention that it wasnt selling well?

They pushed so hard to get the DCU sub launched, extending dates, communication with potential subbers, they made it clear that the DCU sub needed help. But nothing was said about the Ghost Busters sub being in trouble. Makes you think that the decision had already been made to get rid of it.

Why so much push for an untried Sub line, and no push or support for an established one? There is a definitely a double standard here. They spend the first year giving you the same 5 characters over and over. Now that it's time to do different characters the line fizzles out. IDK.
