I am reducing my number of subscriptions this year. In 2012, I bought 2 Club Eternia & 1 Club Lion Force. In 2013, I am only buying 1 Club Eternia.
I have no interest at all in DC or Watchman and I have to cut some expenses. I am very exciting about 2013 Club Eternia though!

Looks like slow shipping has raised from 9,95 to 13,75 for international customers

Closer to cherry picker

**MC Modulok** · July 13, 2012, 04:37pm

One subscription, just as I did for the other years.

**The Blue Beetle** · July 13, 2012, 05:29pm

Ok, so after the reveals, I am definitely getting the sub. Not too keen on Netossa or the Fighting Foe Men, really hoping they grow on me, but Ram Man more then makes up for any qualms I might have!

**Jubilation** · July 13, 2012, 05:39pm

No sub for me this year, Netossa is amazing and I'm loving Jistu and Fang Man is cool also. However no more Great Rebellion girls in 2012 means no sub from me as they are simply not producing enough POP girls for me to buy a sub.

Compare that to what the GI Joe CC charge for international shipping and it's a blessing!

**imperialmyrth** · July 13, 2012, 05:57pm

My usual 1 as all previous years. I love almost all the reveals.

**chuc98** · July 13, 2012, 05:58pm

Just ordered mine.

**PrinceAdam101** · July 13, 2012, 06:00pm

2 or 3.

Very happy camper. Scott tried to please everyone and did a really diverse group of reveals. Everyone will wish for more of their favorite factions or eras, but I think he has given us a totally awesome 2012!!!

**TheFallen** · July 13, 2012, 06:06pm

The reveals were not overwhelming but I have just bought my 2 Club Eternia subs and a Black Freighter sub.

Final cost = $180

**Jor-El** · July 13, 2012, 06:13pm

Zero for mine. Absolutely lacklustre reveals. Luckily, I'm not a huge Ram Man fan, so will take my luck on day of. Jitsu probably the only character I really want, so sure I'll be able to land my hands on him. Mattel have made a bad decision to lock so many weak items into the subs - Fighting Foe Men and fan choice in particular are a big turn off. King He-Man, to me, just looks awful, so no yearning there.

**eurorko** · July 13, 2012, 06:16pm

I'm going to get one sub, that's all I can afford. I'm interested to see what else they have in store for 2013 now that Filmation is on the table.

**Snake Hunter** · July 13, 2012, 06:25pm

After seeing the reveals, I just get one. I usually get 2 subs in order to resell the figures in my comic shop and spread the figures, but this year there are several peg-warmers:

NETOSSA - A great figure, but just one shield as accesory??? If we will pay 30$ for RamMan, Netossa value must be 20$.
FIGHTING FOE MEN - No one of my customers will spend 75$ + shipping in this 3pack.
KING HE-MAN - Unrequested character from Spector alternative future.

**lemure77** · July 13, 2012, 06:40pm

Reveals did it. 0..the big goose egg. I will so far be buying Ram Man. Easy pass this year..sad to say

**AdultCollector** · July 13, 2012, 06:41pm

Lots of great characters this time around. I picked up a subscription.

**Beastmaster** · July 13, 2012, 06:44pm

I will get 1 for the 4th year in a row. Pretty happy with todays reveals.

**guitargod694** · July 13, 2012, 06:54pm

I'll be getting one sub (and one Watchmen sub) as usual.

**Dragonblaster** · July 13, 2012, 06:56pm

So there we have it - the big reveal...
Sorry Mattel but NO WAY I'm going to spend THAT much money on your figures.
You've just turned me from subscriber to a cherry picker. And to be totally honest: aside from Ram-Man the 2013 sub pretty much had nothing that had me on the edge of my seat.
The imo hideous and unaesthetic Sub Exclusive "King He-Man" thankfully does nothing to change my decision (those colours... arrrgh!).

Sad...

**baronterror** · July 13, 2012, 07:00pm

one. No reason to get more than that, ever.

**J-West** · July 13, 2012, 07:41pm

Looks like for the first time ever, I'll be getting 1 sub. This years reveals were lackluster with the exception of Rammy, and I need to start saving some money and reserve space on my shelf for more deserving figures...................Like Two Badd

**vancak** · July 13, 2012, 07:44pm

I got my first subs this year (Club Eternia and the 30th) and I've gotta say it wasn't worth it. I'll be forever stuck with the Star Sisters unless I give them away, and who knows if I'll be able to sell (and make my money back on) the Griffin, Snake MAA, Sir Laser Lot, and Cy-Chop. Photog, Draego-Man, and the CAC winner are all awesome, but the other three are terrible. Fortunately, I was able to sell TMS, but at a five dollar loss. So, no way I'm getting another sub.

With the ridiculous five dollar price hike, I may be done with this line after Granamyr, who is effin' awesome. I'm already paying $30 per sub figure with shipping and taxes. Next year, without a sub, I'd be paying $39 or $40 per figure. It's just not worth it anymore.

**RocketPunch** · July 13, 2012, 07:55pm

One of each - MOTU, DC, and Watchmen.

I was pretty happy with the reveals this year.

**Darkkosis** · July 13, 2012, 07:56pm

Not sure if I wanna get one this year, probably one.

**Blaster** · July 13, 2012, 08:04pm

More than likely none, I'm moving next year and we all know DR can't handle all of that business.

Never had a sub, never will, especially now, Matty is BS, the early access is not fair except on the non-sub items ONLY, but it's for all figures, the figures are not worth $39 - $40 with shipping, they just aren't, and never will be....as soon as I get Mek, Rammy, Rattlor.......Mantenna & Dragstor, I am out. I may hover around to see if something peaks my interest or how the last few vintage figures turn out, and pick one up from time to time, but wasting money is what it will be next year, and to me, I see nothing besides Ram-Man, Jitsu & possibly if I can PO him for a reasonable price King He-Man....otherwise, I don't see many worthwhile figures coming anymore....

Other than Mantenna & Dragstor....I want Filmation Hordak....but even then if he doesn't have his Filmation head, I'll pass.

They lost 2 subscribers with my friends for sure, they do not want a sub, especially after seeing the line-up.
