This is a done deal whether the subscription thing takes off or not. Face facts: DCUC was already struggling like hell at retail.

This club is offering the chance to get figures we otherwise wouldn't get AT ALL. Not taking figures off of retail shelves to sell on Mattycollector.

Oh, and for those of you that don't want to join the club? With the exception of the subscription exclusive figure (Which is what your $30 "subscription fee" gets you, so it's not "paying for nothing") all the figures are available to the general public at Mattycollector.com on their sale days. First come, first serve, at $15 a pop...no more than you'd pay at retail.

They have said that the "reboot" line will have BOTH new DC and old DC stuff. They are just using the bait of the ones we've always asked for to get people to buy the sub. And $15 plus shipping, right now a lot of people are saying$17-$18 is their limit at retail. Will I try to get Jay on sales day? Hell yeah, but I'm not paying $23 for Starman.

Now I'm not above changing my mind, if and I mean IF they were to show us the first six figures and one or two of the oversized ones maybe. But I don't trust them, why?

SuperPowers and New Gods. Yes I know many loved them all, I did not yet had to buy them to finish C&Cs. They filled waves with crap characters that didn't sell at retail so many stores didn't carry them. Did I want a Batman in every wave? Sure, just not the SAME (all-stars) Batman.
Dick Grayson Batman
Jason Todd Batman
Golden Age Batman
Red Rain Batman
KC Batman
Superman?
Golen Age (E-2) Superman
Silver Age Superman
KC Superman
Justice Lords Superman ( they did superfriends why not JL)
Robot Superman

There is ten figures, one of theses per wave would have put a Sups/Bats in each wave for two years and many collecters would have gotten them. What did we get? The same Superman over and over, hell we got Barry FIVE times yet no Wally in 20 waves. Yet now they say " trust us to give you what you want" I just have to look at waves 17 &18 and say no thank you.
