A few fellow collectors have asked me to promote Club Infinite Earths. I recommend you read NoisyDvL5′s thoughts on the matter, as he’s much more passionate about it than I am. Thing is, the Club isn’t doing so well. As of this writing it hasn’t even hit 20% of the subscriptions needed to put it [...]

Late post tonight–I received a tip from Poester The Belligerent Monkey who noticed Mattel had posted (intentionally or otherwise) a page on Mattycollector about a potential DCUC subscription. Now, I say “potential” because apparently this is going to be like a massive Groupon deal–if there aren’t enough subscriptions, it doesn’t happen. Text of the club offer [...]
Mattel announced its 2012 subscriptions: Club Eternia, Club Ecto-1, and the new Club Lion Force. (Is anyone else kind of amazed that Club Ecto-1 is still going?) Anyway, the Club Eternia sub includes a $60 item, and there’s a lot of speculation as to what that is. Many are suggesting Granamyr, though personally I’m hoping [...]
OK, the phrase “happy Clawful day” sounds kind of funny–like “have a happy awful day!” Heheheh…sigh. Some days you’re just not on. Anyway, today is the day you can get your own Animal Clawful action figure. Also on sale: Buzz-Off JLU Stripe DCUC Super Powers Stands And don’t forget the massive All-Star sale!
I forgot that today is the day for the Mattycollector SDCC pre-sale, which is going on now. Looks like the White Screen of Death (WSOD) is back. How’s it going for those of you who are trying to pre-order?
Today’s Odds ‘n Ends is mostly stuff I’ve meant to write about but never got around to it. First up: this piece over on OAFE, revealing how Toys R Us prices items higher in stores in wealthier areas. October Toys is developing OMFG!, a homage to M.U.S.C.L.E. and Monster in My Pocket figures from the [...]
Mattycollector is having a “Mad Matty Monday” next week on the 27th. The idea is for $40, you get three items that exceed the $40 value. There’s a DC set, a MOTU set, and a Ghostbusters set. One thing to keep in mind is that the third item in the MOTU set could be display [...]
1.) Josh asks: The WWE figures utilize the basic, elite, and defining moments methods of selling figures and different price points. Would this model ever be considered for DCUC to get more “deluxe” versions of figures? For instance, a Superman with a cloth cape or even a Clark Kent outfit; A batman with cloth cape [...]
Video Game – E3 2011 – AOTS Exclusive Is the post title uncalled for? I don’t think so. Poor Queen Marlena. It looks like AFOS wins the contest, since he guessed Marlena and Stay Puft. A few other people got one right, but not two. AFOS, shoot me an email to poe AT poeghostal.com and [...]
