If you go to sign up for a new membership, each level features this notation: "All memberships will terminate with the December 2016 issue." The first club toy shipped in 2005, so depending on how long the various contract terms are it could be up and it could be nothing. We really don't know.

The fan community - and I include myself in this - tend to be very "the sky is falling!" when we have a little information about things. We know another company has signed a license to do some sort of exhibition, and we know the Joe and Transformers club mailers now say that the memberships expire in December 2016. Is it a fluke? Is it a warning sign? Does it have anything to do with the early promise of a Transformers Subscription Service 5.0 art early and very early reveals of the BotCon 2016 toys? Heck if I know. I'm just being irresponsible posting this, but mostly I like the idea of it being here so I can look back in a year and see if we were right or wrong.

It's also worth noting a similar note appears on the G.I. Joe subscriptions: "Please note that at this time we are only accepting memberships and renewals for the 2016 calendar year. All memberships will end with the December 2016 issue. For example: if your membership renewal has a February start date, you will receive the FREE membership figure in the late spring along with 11 monthly issues. If your membership renewal has a March start date, you will receive the FREE membership figure in the late spring and 10 monthly issues."
