It's a pretty crappy thing to wish to deny other people something they might want simply because you don't like it.

I hate to break it to folks, but the DCUC Subscription failing to get off the ground isn't going to be seen by Mattel as "Hmm, well, clearly we need to make our mass-retail offerings more collector-friendly." I guarantee it will be seen by Mattel as "Hmm, well, clearly the collector support for DC Universe Classics is weaker than we hoped it was." In other words, it proves that adult collectors of DCUC are not a large enough or committed enough market to warrant catering to. After all, if they won't buy a product that's targeted explicitly and purely towards them, they certainly can't be counted upon to buy mass-retail offerings.

That having been said, I don't think they've actually updated that thermometer at all. If it's really only at 20% by this point, this subscription idea is pretty much doomed. Kiss completing your JSA, Metal Men, (pre-reboot) Teen Titans, and (especially) LoSH goodbye!
