posted an update at the Org<\/a> that the subscription window would run until morning instead of cutting off in the middle of the night as originally planned. We were so close that I was hopeful the extra few hours would do it. But, ironically, it wasn’t Club Eternia that would receive the first confirmation. <\/p>\nThat was Club Infinite Earths early this morning when the thermometer was updated to show that the sales had passed the 2013 minimum. <\/p>\n
Now, the good news of course is that Mallah & the Brain, Wally West, Elongated Man, Phantom Stranger, Saint Walker, and Larfleeze will all be safely added to our already massive DC collections (and that just’s the first few months!). But the other thing was that Club Infinite Earths was also surely the most at-risk sub. Club Black Freighter’s (worst name ever) $7 higher price point and ability to use the extensive tooling from the DC Classics line appeared to keep it safe from cancellation almost out of the gate. The only word we ever received was “Watchmen is doing fine”. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Club Eternia and Club Infinite Earths’ numbers are not really comparable because we have no idea know how many units comprise the minimum quota for each, but Club Eternia went into the weekend with a percentage easily double that of Club Infinite Earths. So, if Club IE made it, surely, they all did, right? At least that’s what we were all hoping this morning. <\/p>\n
Our answer would come in the form of a Youtube video a few hours later: <\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cAre you even listening?\u201d \u201cCan you put the phone down?\u201d I think I might have annoyed everyone I talked to yesterday. I had a full plate, but my iPhone was pretty much glued to my hand as I checked for updates and then reactions to the update on the Mattycollector Subscriptions. <\/p>\n![](\"newsimages\/matty\/therm01.jpg\")
