*Sigh* Canada is passed over with DCUC once again and us fans are pretty much reliant on 'ol eBay.

Come on Mattel, step up the Canadian distribution of this line somehow.

Nevermind the sale price, but I find it criminal that DCUC sells for $12.99 in the states and we have to buy it at $19.99. WTF? Seriously. I know the import laws are different and we have that whole french thing, but that is a ridiculous price jump.

OK everyone stop panicing. Wave 15 is a timed exclusive. K-mart gets it first for a month at most. Then other retailers get it.

Actually only K-mart still sells DCUC for $12.99. US Wal-Mart's have been charging $15.97 since spring. Up from $14.97 in January. US TRU's are now charging $15.99 (again probably up from $14.99 earlier in the year). So now our $19.99 price really isn't so crazy is it?

Considering the last line of DCUC figures we got was Wave 11 back just before Christmas, something tells me we won't be seeing these guys in mass retail any time soon.

Its hurts to see these sales we never get.


Like a month ago, DCUC went on sale for $0.75 at Fred Meyers. That's insane. On fwoosh, people were talking about getting 20+ figures in one purchase.

That's definitely closer, but I'm still annoyed we pay more. That being said, the only DCUC I've seen lately (besides old two packs at TRU), are the ones I've found at Winners. Nothing good, but they're $12.99 there.

I'm pretty choked to have to pay $24.99 at my LCS for them since TRU are the only place that carries them, and I don't know if they even do anymore. Saw a few Doc midnight and Spectres the other month, but that's it. I wish we still had K-Marts up here.

Having said all that, I will still happily pay my
coins for J'onn, Raven and SC Bats.
