Mattel Releases Details on Masters of the Universe Classics and Ghostbusters Subscription Plans

The conspiracy theorists will tell you that it’s all part of a big scheme, but sandwiched between Tuesday’s four minute sellout of the Masters of the Universe Classics Orko pre-order for San Diego Comic-Con goers and today’s sale day that includes the MOTUC Count Marzo (and the DC Universe Classics Wave 13 set), Mattel has announced details of its subscription plans for 2011 that will allow you to avoid all of the online ordering woes.

And good news for Ghostbusters fans – there’s a new sub plan for you, too – Club Ecto-1. If you happen to collect both lines, you’ll save on shipping.

Personally, I’ll have to see what’s announced for Ghostbusters at the Mattel panel at San Diego Comic-Con, as I’m not sure I want to be all-in on Ghostbusters. I have decided already that I’m all-in for Club Eternia. The subs go on sale on Wednesday 7/21, coinciding with the start of San Diego Comic-Con. The Mattel panel is on Friday, 7/23.

Club Eternia™ & Club Ecto-1 Subscriptions on Sale 7/21 through 8/4

Breathe deep and close your eyes. Now imagine a calm, quiet place. A place where MOTUC and Ghostbusters™ collectors simply kick back and wait for their favorite toys to arrive on their doorstep. Now imagine that it’s real, it’s spectacular, and there are two of them… 2011 Club Eternia™ and the all-new Club Ecto-1!

Save When You Buy BOTH! Can’t decide between Masters of the Universe® Classics and Ghostbusters™? No need — you can have it all and save money when you buy both Club Eternia™ and Club Ecto-1 subscriptions! When they’re purchased together, they ship together, so you save on shipping costs.
