this person is why im not surprised it was cancelled. this is exactly what should happen every time a gift horse is looked in the mouth by unsupportive and unappreciative fans, not bending to their every whim because they have more money to throw along with their complaints.
nit pickers and squeaky wheels dont always get their way. that makes the world go around better for me.
yeah you’re right. Ive only supported them with my hard earned money from the very beginning. I should just shut up and take what they give me and appreciate it.
all the other subs got to go on ahead, even being re-opened for purchase this week, except Ghostbusters…2 He-Man lines and ■■■■■■ Voltron…and the DC Universe line stays alive by threat of cancellation (or cheap Mattel marketing ploys) but no second chance for the Ghostbusters. Out of the blue…DROPPED.
Yeah, i’m kinda curious what the thank you will be. I was also one of the few who apparently bought a sub.
The main reason I purchased a sub was to get the exclusive figure. I really wanted that marshmallow mess Ray but I missed out. The Rookie will still be available so I’m ok. It now means they will get less of my money because I will pick and choose.
Adam, I’m pretty sure I may be relying on you for the 2012 year for all my GB Matty needs. of course, I’ll Paypal you in advance.
You guys should cool off on your caffeine. It was just an eFFing question and i find it funny how serious you take stuff like this.
I picked up two subs this year, same as last, guess I’ll be looking for that refund soon. With the way they “renew” I actually wish the sub just cost less since the exclusive’s paid up front and the rest are paid as the figs come up. Sure it’s four figs instead of seven but that just means the subs less. Basically Matty’s just getting out line I guess, not knowing how long their contract is for. Though I’m not holding my breath for any 2013 figs.
I wonder if we’ll see more props or… dare I say it… retro figures. Seems like DST will be the only one with the GB torch soon.
son of a bitch.
Sometimes I love having Monday’s off.
Yea, it was an eFFing stupid question, and you got an answer for it.
No one is taking it seriously. You asked a question, which made no sense, and was not logical based on the recent news, and you were given a straight answer That doesn’t mean I’m taking it seriously just because you can’t understand basic logic.
Let’s recap:
They announce that they’re cancelling subscriptions, which is guaranteed money for them.
They announce that they’re cutting the line from 7 figures in 2012 to 4.
Both of these things say they’re not putting more money into this line because fans are not supporting it enough financially for it to be profitable.
And your response is to ask how we can petition them to throw a ton of money into tooling an Ecto-1 for the line?
Sorry. You’re not being logical. You’re not making sense. And you’re frankly just being stupid if you think that it is a legitimate question to try to get Mattel to throw all of that money into a toyline that they’ve just cut back on DRASTICALLY.
Me pointing that out doesn’t mean I’m taking it seriously. It means you’re upset that you’re acting stupid and that people aren’t jumping on board with your internet petition.
Well thank you so very much for enlightening me mister self righteousness. I’m happy to be under your shadow!
As I said it was a f question. you could’ve just ignored it if it insulted your superior intelligence but instead you decide to treat me as stupid for it, cool. I’ve always known there’s people in here with the wrong attitude towards posting so i couldn’t care less.
You asked a question. I answered it, honestly, and simply. I didn’t attack you, or make fun of you. I pointed out that you weren’t being logical. That’s not an insult. It was the truth.
If you don’t want to get answers to your questions, and just want people to hop on with your ideas and treat you like you’re a genius, then you’ve come to the wrong place.
I wasn’t self righteous. I answered your question.
I got on your case when you acted like I did something wrong for answering your question. You weren’t making sense and you still aren’t. If you don’t want that pointed out to you, maybe you should learn to use some logic and sensor yourself before you post asinine ideas.
yeah, Peace. Move on. Seriously.
Haha, whatever dude. Good luck with your Facebook petition. I’m sure you’ll single handedly save the line with something that surely, no executive at Mattel has tried to figure out.
“An Ecto-1? That’s profitable? Nah, let’s not make it.”
Peace out, genius.
Hell, I was so betrayed by this I just canceled the rest of my subs with Matty Collector. I figure they didn’t need my money for Ecto-1 then the don’t need it for anything else.
You were able to do that? Normally I thought they don’t allow the cancellation of subscriptions.
LOL, keep belching dude. I merely wondered if it was possible, thank you so much for letting me know it’s not man, I appreciate it. I wonder why did you got the idea that I was actually starting a petition out of a question? LOL
Anyways haha, thanks for the morning laugh dude. 
I thought I’d put together all the stuff that Mattel-rep ToyGuru has said over at the Matty forums in regards to the recent turn of events…
each color is a different reply in the thread. if it isnt very clear here, I suggest you guys visit the actual thread here:

This is it, this is the sign… the line is dying.
I knew this day will come soon or later… I only hope that they can release some basic figures to complete the GB Universe collection, figures like Janosz (Janosz as a ghost with the stroller would be nice), the other Scolleri Brother ghost, the Labcoat Peter, the Courtroom Ray and Egon. Then, they can hit the last nail in the coffin.
Nothing last forever.
