Mattel DC club Infinite Earths canceled

[starsky]

never saw $10 figures on matty collector. not once. and i've spent big$$$ with them including subs. i guarantee if they had those figures up there for $10 , they would have sold out all their existing inventory, surplus inventory , customer service inventory and whatever else inventory name they can come up with.

^Good point. Had they clearanced them out in their own store, I think the ill will felt would have subsided a bit.

I would "only" be interested in:

1) Silver Age Teen Titans Aqualad
2) Silver Age Teen Titans Speedy (Red & Yellow with hat - Not the super ugly Red Arrow)

***Plus they made the Dick Grayson Robin & Red Arrow (meant to be Speedy) in regular size while they left Kid Flash in teen size. Same with the more modern titans where Nightwing and Cyborg are regular size while Beast Boy is teen size. Would have loved to see them standardized to either size but that's not going to happen...***

3) JLA Aquaman with "hook"
4) Accurate Tim Drake Robin in its original red & green costume. Not just a repaint of their red & black Tim Drake Robin like the one in the Walmart Two-Pack. That cape is totally wrong! Plus, would be a good chance for a better non-smirking head sculpt...
5) Super Powers Batmobile
6) Nightwing & Flame Bird Two-Pack

Done!

Heaven forbid Matty Gave Subscription Members and People on the Site an Oppertunity to Purchase Cheaper Figures 1st Considering they Gave them Thousands upon Thousands of Dollars paying for Everything Full Price Supporting thier Clubs to Begin with.

I hope this heralds the death of all action figure subscriptions clubs. I always hated the concept, never joined one, and it galls me that there is one for two of my favorite lines, Transformers and G.I.Joe RAH.

I will say I filled a few of the holes in my Classics Green Lantern Collection from Infinite Earths, but I ordered them from secondary sources.

Agreed.
all the Smoke , mirror , sell outs, and BS Allure... Done.

Now ..., where does 1 even join that..., or try to buy figures on sale dates ?

Oh, Sorry. I lost track of this tread.

The subs for G.I.Joe and Transformers are through their respective collectors clubs, which also run the official conventions for each property. They've also done convention exclusive figures for years.

Some of the Joe sub figures are selling at BBTS for $70-80. This is for a figure that would sell for $8-10 if it was available at walmart.

I've seen the Joes for big bucks at BBTS ....
I wanted a couple, and didn't understand where to even sign up for a Subscription at.

First you gotta join the collector's club. Then you have to wait another year for the next sub to happen.

I was a member of the collectors club like 10 yrs ago ..
and they did nothing that whole time. lol.
