The word is correct.
The only plausible explanation is that who took the pics is not an Heroclix player and he didn't know how the sides of the boosters are important for who, like us, is waiting with impatience the new sets and would take every possible news.
I'm a bit angry because there was a possibility to know more news from upcoming sets with the sides of the boosters but the possibility has vanished.
If I had the chance to go on a convention like that, I would do a lot of pics
to show every single detail.
Wow. Awkward grammar aside, the sense of entitlement on display here is alarming. No one has a responsibility to give us spoilers from an upcoming set. We're all impatient, but that's life. The fact that we got as much information as we did is a bonus, not a crime. Sheesh.

This. The fact that someone took a ton of pictures of very important stuff, but forgot to get a shot of one thing, while at a major event and probably being around a ton of people, is totally understandable. When you're excited and thinking you're getting a ton of good information, a relatively minor thing can very very easily escape you.
I don't know where this bizarre attitude is coming from. "Someone who did something I'm not doing did it different from how I think I'd do it, therefore proving that they aren't a real Heroclix player". It's attitudes like that, that discourage people from joining certain communities.
For my point of view, this is a wasted opportunity.
Obviously none of you are impatient like me to know what characters are in the set.
No one has responsability, that's correct. But if I had the luck to partecipate at conventions like GAMA, I would take pics until the smallest detail. I do not pretend the same for other people, but booster sides is a very big thing to forget to shot.
For me is not forgivable a big missing like that and I don't care what you may think of me.

I guess it's good that you freely admit to being a pretentious and entitled person. Just don't act shocked when people insult or criticize you, since you should know why they don't like you. It's not like you care right?

1. We all want all the info, right now. For instance, I want to know if there are plans for another TMNT set. If so, I want to know how many and all the pieces in it.
2. There is no luck involved in GAMA. As a trade show, you're either a retailer (and put yourself there or have a friend) or you're part of a reporting agency and got a press pass. And press passes, typically, aren't easy to get.
3. The bold: by saying it is not forgivable, you are pretending the same for other people.
The bottom line is this: you are not special. What you want is what we all want. The difference between you and us is quite simply that we are thankful and recognize we are not owed anything.
As someone who has been to a convention and tried to get pictures: the way the display is set up does not always allow convenient photos. Especially when there are other people trying to look/get photos/ask questions. It's possibly they couldn't get to a side where they could see that side of the boosters (Joker's Wild boosters at Origins last year, for instance, were specifically turned so we couldn't see one side for at least a day or two).
So say thank you and take what you get. Because this is a spoiler from fans.

ANYTHING we get as a spoiler is a gift. It's like someone gave your favorite ice cream sundae and you're mad because they didn't make sure it had rainbow sprinkles. It's got the right flavor ice cream, the cherry, the whipped cream and the chocolate syrup. But they forgot the rainbow sprinkles. IT'S A FREE SUNDAE, be grateful, and stop acting like you are owed anything by anybody.
We are not owed this information. Nobody fell down on the job. The people who took these photos gave us a gift of knowledge, and something to look forward to. Any response other than gratitude is selfish in the extreme. You're throwing a tantrum because you didn't get your rainbow sprinkles. Grow up.

It's unbelivable that nobody has taken pics of the side of What if? and Avengers/Defenders War boosters! How it's possible?? They have important infos under their eyes and they did not see them?
The What If? Boosters also weren't real. They were Teen Titans boosters wrapped in paper that had a mock-up of a possible pack design on them.
The one included sub-theme spoiled by the side was "What if the Runaways were the new Avengers?" I think all the other figures on the side were on display in the case.

Did you happen to see a good picture of the "What If the Runaways..." booster side? I missed that one, and I'm curious if anything other than Gert/Old Lace and Karolina Dean was shown.

I didn't take pictures or anything, as I was there for work. I feel as though there were at least 5 Runaways in the pic on the side. Chase, Nico, and Molly, IIRC.

This. The fact that there was no information on our Heroclix Undead/Horrorclix 2.0 makes me nervous.
I don't think there's any reason to be nervous. They mentioned it at the dinner as part of their upcoming product line, just didn't bring any prototypes. Still on the way.
