The End of Retail DCUC: Clearance & Closeouts
As yet another sign of the impending DC Universe Classics apocalypse, I just saw at the Deerfield, IL TRU that all yellow-carded DCUC figures have been marked down to $9.99, on "sale" through 09/03/2011.
I previously posted in the Wave 17 thread that these figures had been marked down to $9 at the Walmart in Niles, IL. The price tag on the peg/shelf noted these as "clearance." Lastly, (also at the same Walmart) all Green Lantern Classics (green-carded) figures were similarly marked down to $9 as "clearance." If you have seen any peg warmers at your local TRU that are worth $10 to you, now is probably the time, folks. |
Yay, I can finally pick up that ugly peg-warmin' Omac to finish off my Validus Collect-n-Connect now!
Thanks for the update hrothgars! I'll be checking out my usual stores this weekend to see if their DCUC are on clearance as well. (I live in Connecticut) |
None of the places near me has them on clearance. In fact, they're all getting fresh stock of the Superfriends wave, and oddly, the Darkseid wave.
|
None of the walmarts near me have the DCUC on sale. the little bit of GLC were $9. I did see all of wave 12 at tjmaxx for $6.99 each.
|
Stopped by Walmart and only the GLC figs were on clearance (for $ 9.00). DCUC was stll $15- something. Guess that OMAC will hafta wait.

Considering the weak performance of Green Lantern movie product, and the fact Mattel hasn't even talked about new waves for Classics, it doesn't surprise me that GL Classics is getting cleared out.
Just because DCUC is "on sale" does NOT mean they are getting rid of it this soon (especially TRU, they've been doing those sales for years). That said, if your Walmart is marking them as "clearance", it means they don't intend to continue carrying that item at that store. Mattel has solicited product through wave 20, which won't hit for several months. DCUC will likely to still be as readily available as it has ever been until next spring in most markets that still get them. You are probably not going to see widespread clearancing until next summer to clear out the old line before the rebranded DC line is launched in the summer/fall. |
I wouldn't put it past Mattel to sell these only online like MOTUC.

They have said several times stores are interested in MOTUC & that they told those stores "no way." |
I don't collect DC, but if they put out 3" like marvel, Id buy some up real quick.

They will clearance out older "shelfwarming" stock in order to get newer stock from the backroom onto the salesfloor. I can sometimes find older waves of DCUC in the clearance section while finding newer figures on shelves in the toy isle. Sometimes they clearance things to get rid of a line altogether. Sometimes just to move on to fresher stock. Point being, you really can't assume that because something is clearanced, it means they're done with it. |

That's where I learned that it was Store Director's discretion to allow things to be clearanced. However, all the other local stores (the other three I kept watch over, in my toy hunting range) would all clearance out toys, as well as other items to move them off pegs for fresher product. Where as, in my personal store (like yours it seems) we would just sit on them until they mysteriously vanished a year or more later. So you just apparently had a stingy manager, like I did. (We've lost tens of thousands of dollars in produce because he wouldn't let us reduce them to move, where had he let us we may have only lost hundreds.) |

All DC Universe Classics, Green Lantern Classics, and Batman Legacy figures are currently marked at $9.99 each at Kmart.
I scored a Golden Age Batman & Bat-Mite! |

GL Classics was clearance out a few months back on my end for $5.
Otherwise DCUC is still pretty much holding steady at the normal price point. |
I wish Kmart had wave 19 already. As it stands even with this great sale its not worth it for me unless I can get Batman with Batmite

Haven't seen any DC products on clearance at Walmart yet. In fact, one of them recently refreshed their stock of GLC for some reason. Also saw a lot of Kamandi's wave for DCUC, whichever one that is (I don't keep track of DC stuff like I do with Marvel).
|
my wm put them in the clearance section at the low price of $15.97
|
theyre like 17 at one of my targets, but walmarts are like 14.99.
