WIZKIDS ANNOUNCES SELLOUT OF DC HEROCLIX: CRISIS!
January 22, 2008 (SEATTLE) - WizKids Inc. announces the manufacture sellout of DC HeroClix®: Crisis five-figure Boosters and bricks. Crisis, releasing February 27, is completely sold out at the manufacturer in North America due to unexpectedly high preorder sales. DC HeroClix: Crisis brings to players' tabletops characters from the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, Identity Crisis, 52 and the ongoing Final Crisis storylines.
"The Crisis release attests to the close collaboration between DC Comics and WizKids® - the closest collaboration over any HeroClix release," said Joe Hauck, WizKids EVP of Sales, Marketing and Product Development. "The results have been far more impressive than either DC Comics or WizKids could have anticipated."
Although supplies are limited, North American retailers can still purchase Crisis through Alliance Game Distributors or Diamond Comic Distributors and should contact their sales representatives for preorder information. European retailers should contact their local distributor for preorder information.
