PLEASE PLEASE TOPPS.....Don't let Heroclix die. I've used this game as a teaching aid in Central America to bring kids together and it has been an integral part of culture sharing and countless hours of joyful fun. As a fan and an educator I ask that you by all means possible keep this game alive.

I was kind of wondering that myself. My guess is the stats are definately done, more then likely the sculpts and molds have been made, but it's possible the packaging and actual production run hasn't been started yet. Which might be why they're closing WizKids down now. Either that or the production run has begun and they don't have the money to actually finish it, box up the figures, and ship the packages here.

That's the great thing about this web site, most people at my venue use it to get help with teams or try new ones. In turn the group is quite competitive, and no player wins most or all of the time.

It really depends on how bad it gets, a 1980's recession yeah, people will be still able to buy, not as much thou, as manufacturing , hence costs go up. If this one ends up more like the 1920's depression , then people will be more worried about bartering for food than any side entertainment. I doubt it will be as bad as the 1920's, but it will be worse that the tech bubble and the crash in the 80's

What was the planned date for Hammer of Thor again?

I'll wait and see what news (if any) appear as that date draws nearer...

This is what happens when they don't make Killermoth, Bi-Beast, or Madcap. Maybe they should've made those figures, then they would've gotten the money they need to keep Wizkids going.

I guess now we know how Obama getting elected is going to affect Heroclix. HAHAHAHAH!

Chirp Chirp

Too Soon?


I'm so excited, this may be my first post that gets warning points.

I read 7 pages of this and just can't go on anymore.

I must say that this is not a big surprise and my first reply was hahaha cool.....I constantly complained about them and I just really ended up buying it for the figures and not that game near the end.

They said all should continue un-noticed and that's fine with me....but I hope I do see a change by Hammer of Thor (I strongly assume everything will go fine and continue the only problem being maybe a later release date for everything).

I liked when it was a kids game and simple and fun. It lost alot of it's fun in the past while and most of the fans kept trudging, I hope they completely redo it and make it fun and simple again.

Sure every one is panicking, and this could be a strategy as well. But I think that unless they make some aussurances about HOT and prize support the game WILL die.

The formula is very simple
Hercolix makes money
Wizkids loses money

Remove Heroclix from wizkids, and it will continue to make money w/o WK hampering the game that has kept the company going.

Over the year WK has made many games, and many have failed horribly
Others that could have gone further were abandoned.

I truly blame Mark Tuttle for all of this. But Topps will not let Heroclix die. They, i am sure, have the numbers and see that everything HC they make sells.

They will keep making the game, it will only have Topps on the packaging instead.

Why did Topps buy Wizkids?

Of all the games in their line Heroclix would appear most likely to be picked up by someone else, unless Topps tries to sell the games enmass to avoid contractural obligations being broken.

I'll keep playing.
I'll keep modding.
Regardless.

It's not the first game I kept playing after being pronounced dead.

Sad but not necessarily the end, certainly not personally.

There have been a few successful, if just temporary, rebirths.
Shadowrun (the rpg not the clix)
and
Battletech
come to mind.


It is also possible for HCrealms to continue.
Can we set up a "new hero dial stamp of approval"?

Getting hands on old clix (even MK) for the bases could ensure a long underground life.

If Heroclix isn't picked up, let's see what we can't create for ourselves in the absence of a big brother whose ownership and "official" oversight was more interested in profit than fun.

It was inevitable, let's move on and keep having fun.

guess i'll be spending my money on wow miniatures now, heh

I won't. $15.00 for 3 characters?!

better then mon-poc ,13 bucks for 2, and you play with one at a time...

I would be down if Heroclix was 1 character at a time. Power Man every game.

wtf...

grr.
