Thats insane....I hope they don't stay that way.

You guys can make more discussion here, rather than derail the rules thread.

I'm one of the guys who was lucky enough to buy one. I got mine for 129.99 plus 12 for shipping. It looks like he raised the price to 149.99 though for the last one he had.

i want one ill looks cool

My bad Rowdy. Didn't mean to hijack the thread, you're absolutely right. I'll head over to the other discussion.

My take on each below. Doesn't mean much, but just fostering the rules discussion until official preview/release:

I'd say that you would start him where he would need to be. If you're only playin the 2x2 version, then you cannot use the 3x6 base. And if you are playing him at a level where he may switch from the 2x2 to the 3x6, then he would be played on the 3x6 base for the entirety of that game, even wen using the dial on the 2x2 base.
There need be no shrinking/growing issues with Thanos' Issues.

For the tournament I assume it's just first place (like previous tournies like galactus, Starro etc.) and no 2nd place, fellowship or judge ?

First place and judge prizes. Only 2 per kit.

Thank you. I was holding out for fellowship as there would be more available and that could make the price drop.

I like that. It sure does alleviate the issues. BTW, all of his dials have been spoiled now in a new thread. Can't link from my phone.

If I was using anything in addition to issue #4, I'd just leave him on the 3x6 base. Makes sense to me.

I haven't checked, but has there been a ruling on the Convention Apocalypse? He can grow from a single base to a 3X6 base so I'm guessing his placement rules would be the same as Thanos here.

I know they recently added this to the player's guide. I wonder if they'll make a similar ruling for characters who change base sizes during play:

Con Apoc cannot AE if he doesn't have the space to expand.
The ruling is on here somewhere lol (on phone, can't/won't link properly).

Thanks! It had a certain Occam's Razor elegance to it.

Well I can understand that, because it's not a big deal to prevent using a power. In the case of Thanos, if you're playing multiple dials and KO Issue 4, he needs to somehow fit to create Issue 5. I doubt that there would be a ruling that just lets you KO a 1000 point dial that easily.

I'm sure there will be some sort of errata or clarification that allows Thanos to be placed in the nearest available space.

If not, well then we just found a way to easily KO Thanos.
