Mattel: DC Universe Classics

[Bonehead15]

I spoke with Anna from cornerstorecomics, she say is better get the DC Classics Wave 9 somewherelse, they can't get the any from that Wave 9, I have to looking in Ebay.

I said it before and I'll say it again, don't wait.


If you wait, you'll be paying even higher prices.



Since it's been confirmed that there is a shoratge of wave 9, I don't see how waiting will help. The figures will just be getting rarer as time goes by and their secondary market prices will no doubt be going up as well. Also remember that Walmart probably won't be carry this wave hardly at all with wave 10 already hitting stores.

I'm glad I didn't wait on Arrow and Canary. Bonehead is absolutely right when he says waiting is a bad idea. I paid about $22 for Canary and $24 for Arrow if that gives you any idea, and that was the day after the shortage was announced (and not trying to rub it in, but Green Arrow is AWESOME.).

 

[Buttmunch]

I'm in the same boat. I just need Green Arrow, Black Canary, Black Wildcat and the Chemo piece from Guardian (though I'll probably have to buy the figure to get that).

Well at least hunting for series 10 will probably make me stumble on those. Funny thing is I'll probably end up finding wave 9 instead of 10. So it will be a happy-yet-frustrating find.

 

[Bonehead15]

I was EXTREMELY lucky that my BBTS order got fulfilled for wave 9.


I'd also like to say that the QC on wave 9 IMO is awesome. No flaws on any of my figures. The joints are a little loose but no where near as bad as the Parademon was. I'd rather have somewhat loose joints than super tight joints like wave 5 had.

i just picked up power girl and the joker off ebay for 70$. I figure at least i can get the two main characters in the wave even though i paid about double for each. I used the Bing discount so i basically got free shipping. I still will be on the prowl for the rest of the wave though.

Jeez man, you've gotta think the price on these Wal-Mart ones will do down a little after this initial fervor. $35 a piece

yeah i agree, but at the same time i had the money in the account and just wanted to have these 2 for sure..and i made a good amount of side money this week. any other day and i would have never bought them .

 

[devlinboy]

and i thought wave 5 would go down but instead it skyrocketed.

 

[Buttmunch]

There was a Man-bat and Powergirl on ebay that sold for about $100 each.

 

[karamazov80]

That's just ridiculous.

 

[Bonehead15]

That's just ridiculous.

I agree. The wave just has started to hit Walmarts.


In a month or so....then start panicking.



I did talk to somebody I know at Walmart and he said that they are supposed to get wave 10 in so I just might have a shot at finding these.

If you find any extras, I need Joker and Man-bat

[lerath666]

bbut... aren't powergirl and joker in the NEXT wave, not the one that got screwed up?

Ah, well, "do what you want cuz a pirate is free"

If anyone has a good lead on green Arrow, i'd appreciate a heads up. only one from wave 9 i want.

My Local stores in columbus Georgia are just NOW starting to get the Supermullet/ Black costume superman wave ( not sure what wave that is) but i know it's a little behind. so we'll probobly see Wave 9 here in 6 months or so.

Wave 9 is the messed up wave. Wave 10 is a messed up wave because its a Wal-mart exclusive... with Joker and Powergirl.

 

[swiftlikessharpthings]

Wow. I thought I paid too much for the 2 wave 9 I got... I'm hoping to luck into wave 10 this weekend but after checking every other day at several wal-marts I'm not sanguine.

 

[devlinboy]

i am actually ok with the price i paid for the 2. Just on experience of walmart exclusives across any line, i have never , not once, seen a walmart exclusive on the pegs. And i do hunt like a madman. I only have 2 walmarts in close proximity and they are both about 30 minutes away. And ny is scalper heaven so by the time i get to walmart the stockboys sold them to their action figure broker lol.

Well if the past is any indication, I'll never see a single wave 10 figure. Wave 5 didn't even ship anywhere near my area and I still have never seen the Gotham 5 pack.


I just hope my source is correct. He also said that the 5 Packs would be arriving also but his store never got a single case.

Wave 9 is the messed up wave. Wave 10 is a messed up wave because its a Wal-mart exclusive... with Joker and Powergirl.

....oh wait.

If you would like to trade or sell one of your Wildcats, I'd be interested in a blue one if you got it. I would only want it if it has the updated Chemo piece.

Let me know

Thanks
