OK then, here's some things I'd like to see in HC, some random thought wanderings...

Character specific special objects - now that objects have a cost I'd like to see some character specific ones. I'm thinking orange constructs, green constructs, SHIELD jetpacks, etc. Put a prereq on them that they can only be played if character X is on your force.
An errata to make the Aliens and Predators HC legal using their printed colored powers. I do loves me some Charging, Blades-ing, Shape Changing, Poisoning, Toughness-ey Aliens! It's obvious they were meant to be... just make it official. I've played 'em as such and it works fine.
An errata for the Bat Sentry so he isn't unique. Just because.
An errata to make purple ring figs tourney legal.
A "Classic Pack" of KC figs.
More figs that are done well without relying on the crutch that special powers have become (FCBD War Machine is an excellent example).
Collector's sets for each of the lantern colors... 5 to 7 figs in a set at a cost of about $20 with one or two released each month. How cool would it be to have Larfleeze and some clear orange constructs? A Black Lantern Firestorm, Aquaman, Hawk, and Terra? Saint Walker? Salaak and a new Kilowog? Dex-Star?
A SHIELD Helicarrier, similar in size to the MW Dropship, with grids on the flight deck so that it could be placed on a map and usable in events.
A return to regional style events. Participation prizes for all (maybe 3D objects or a new fig made just for the event) and winners getting a factory set, advance product, or something similarly cool but not "exclusive".
A really big (something like 5'x5') map, sold at cons or something, made once a year. Maybe even as a map pack with one map from each comic universe. Starting areas in each corner and the middle of each side, making it up to 8 players. Each would be a major loacation in the comics world... Downtown Gotham, Star City, Hell's Kitchen, Asgard, etc.
A downloadable tiled pdf build-a-map. Each page as it's own section that would allow players to print it off and build the map (player 1 puts down first piece, followed by player 2, then back to 1). Similar to how the Timezones map worked but smaller pieces and more cohesion (like all would be part of a park or office complex or whatever). Each time it was played would be unique. Rules could state that map must be X pieces wide by Y pieces long to fit the standard map sizes.

Love (almost) all of it!
I'm pretty indifferent to the whole "Lanterns of Many Colors" but that's just because I'm not reading it.
Other than that, put me down as voting for the lot!

Definitely support this (though as a tournament rules change rather than an errata).

But most of those purple rings are several years old. No errata for one because it's old but an errata for another old one?

Quote

I don't think it's worth making so many collectors angry to do this, and it would be way out of left field when the norm is classic packs reprinting REVs and some low- to mid-range uniques and LEs.

Bah... those collectors (myself included) have had several years of play to recoup their cost of those figs. Reprint 'em and let everyone have 'em.

Talk about flooding the market. Completely overwhelm the budget of anyone who's a Blackest Night fan while releasing almost nothing for people who aren't. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

$20 a month is overwhelming someones budget?? Skip lunch at McDonald's twice that month and the morning Starbucks for 3 days and your there!

Quote

I think all of these fall in the category of things that I wouldn't personally be interested in, but if there's a market out there for them, that's cool. I'm just not sure where to find these people who have the space needed to play on a 5' x 5' map.

We could just push some tables together and be able to do it where we play!

Quote

I dunno, it seems like this would be cool a couple times, but not actually that interesting in play. It would again depend on how it's done.

Even if it's only cool for a half dozen games a venue... it would still be cheap and easy for WK to do and would make players pretty happy.

Like suggested by someone else, perhaps a cheaper price, or extra benefit if it is on a theme team of a specified type?

There's not really any difference between doing it for BPRD and doing it for the Aliens pack, so why not?

If they are going to let people play with printed out feats in tournaments, why should actual figs not be allowed in tournies?

If they are new versions of those characters I am down with it, but to just copy them is an unnecessary kick in the junk to collectors. I don't own any of these, but I didn't enjoy what they did with Print and Play because of the hit my collection took. If NECA does indeed want to make more smaller sets, this would be a perfect one IMO.

I think I would like to see more Traits being used, which seems to be what they are doing. The use Martian Manhunter's trait I thought was well done.

IMO, a little too much here. Make a set with all the leaders, then start dropping members in upcoming sets. Or maybe make a "good" and "bad" set, splitting the colors up a bit.

5'x5' is massive. I would like to see them sell map packs though. It seems like they would be easy money for the company. Should be cheap to produce, and players should snap them up like crazy.

You know, I always felt that the Batman Alpha mini-maps were pretty close to that, and I'd love to see it done again. Heck, I've been waiting to see the 10x10 that is allegedly in the new Armor Wars Classic deluxe set to see if they continued the trend.
