Early eBay auctions from the Far East can be an indicator of when items are a few weeks away from hitting the United States, and a couple of auctions have popped up for DC Universe Classics Wave 12, for Dr. Mid-Nite, Eclipso, and Iron.
I’m not sure what these ones mean for the timing of 12, because the auction titles list them as “pre-sale” though the auction description suggests that the seller has them in hand. My guess is that we *won’t* see these in the US before year end, but I’ve been wrong before.
Dr. Mid-Nite – ends Dec 03, 200914:58:07 PST
Eclipso – ends Dec 03, 200914:58:21 PST
Iron – ends Dec 03, 200914:58:29 PST
I’m not advocating buying these, because I’d bet they’ll be hitting retail in massive quantities inside of six weeks, but at this point, Eclipso and Iron have a starting price of $3.99 with $4.50 shipping to the US, and no bids. Dr. Mid-Nite has a few bids – I think he’ll be one of the most popular figures in DC Universe Classics Wave 12.
Sheesh. Wave 12 is coming soon? I haven’t even seen Wave 10 in stores yet. Grr….
I checked out the auctions and it looks like they are coming loose without accessories. Since Iron’s accessories are a huge part of his appeal, I’m not surprised people aren’t jumping all over him.
Also I have yet to see wave 8 in stores, let alone waves 9 10 or 11. Its odd that living in DC i can’t find DC figures.
To Griffin…DC refers to Detective Comics, not Washington DC. That you live in DC and cant find DC figures has no correlation.
