MSRP is $12.99 per booster, and 10 boosters are included in each Booster Brick.

The DC Comics Heroclix: Superman/Batman “World’s Finest” Fast Forces package will include six Heroclix figures plus an exclusive 3D object. The figures will be Superman, Batman, Poison Ivy, Nightwing, Toymaster, and Lex Luthor, all with new dials. The release should retail for $16.99.
