What is this Real life thing you seem to be speaking of?

dont you guys get it? instead of selling to an outer audience so to speak. they sell to the inner circle of fans. which sucks! its just another mini game you play.good luck good night. no mass market appeal. they tried thatand the avdvertisemsntslkthoj;sajtorweji failed. now hero clix is feeding off the same market that has been their for years. comics. although its cool to see the big movies, its still cut from the same cloth, the idiot nerds that will buy it no matter what. i remeber the classic clix, and no new players will come because of the limited audieane and the fact that THEY ARE PLAYING TO THE LIMITED AUDIENCE. jesus. butt. Fing. chizist

clix are cool, but now they onlysell to those who know about it! RAGE! no new players, supposed to be a social game.... my ###. its just another nerd collectible

Larry breath in to a bag or something. Hard to get new people we it get go yell at Justin ziran.

Larry I'm so sorry that you can't play this WONDERFUL game with others that... Well lets just say... You like. My venue has lost people over the years but we also have gained people! To be honest since the reboot we have TRIPPLED in SIZE and we have 3 going on 4 different places to play not 2. Also if you add in online... Yes poorly ran. It give people opportunity to play at all times with anyone in the world! Good luck. I hope you find a game and some FRIENDS that you LIKE. Try poky-mon, I bet you can run the tables on that. Oh and my real name is John Hofner.

If I remember this podcast correctly we talked about the GSX TRU Exclusives (I could be wrong). It was my argument that they created these to open the game up to different avenues, same as with the Target GL gravity feed. It is a market that Wizkids needs to ease itself into. After the "Fall of Wizkids" a few years ago TRU and Target were both left with tons of product they couldn't sell. Trust needs to be built again in my opinion to offer these products again in these types of areas for the stores to order it again.

For now they are concentrating on the areas they know their product will sell in and then work their way into other markets. I think it all makes sense...even though it does upset some players from time to time.

You could also look at it like other properties as well. Think about Twilight Creation's "Zombies" or Warhammer or Most of Privateer Press' stuff. Now that I think about it, besides some Wizards of the Coast stuff, almost all gaming material (Strategy based games for ages 12 and up) can only be found on the internet, comic or game store. Why should Heroclix be any different?
