Three of us looking at heading down on the 27th for the tournament.

Just confirming it's still on?

It certainly is. The only thing that could disrupt it is if for some reason we don't get the X-men set in Australia by then, but that's highly unlikely considering that it's official release date is the 16th, and the lat two sets we actuall got in BEFORE the release.

I'll post here to confirm when the store gets stock.

Stock has arrived at the store already, so the release will definitely go ahead as planned.

Do you have LE's for prize support?

Oh also, if anyone else from Melbourne is interested in heading down on the 27th I have two spots in the car.

Yep. I'll let you know what the prizes will be for the release. We usually do a participation prize for everyone (should be a map each if we have enough) and some kind of LE for the winner and fellowship. Our normal tourneys everyone usually gets a couple of figures, but because you get two boosters for just $30 we don't do that for releases. I'll go in and check on the prize support and get back to you.

I know another couple of melbournites who might be interested in coming (unless Dave Edwards or Aaron are already coming with you?)

Okay so just to confirm, we have 10 maps so the first 10 players will each get a map (since it looks like we'll have more than 10 players). I have a few maps left over from some older sets too which we can use.

The Prize pool will consist of a Crimson Gem of Cyttorak LE special object, a Foom Finger special object, and at least on BiBtB fig Jamie Madrox. I might be able to get a few more figures in the prize pool as well. There will be a fellowship prize as well.

how much people are comming?

Not sure. I'm thinking about 12 will be there.

Actually I think what I'll do with the maps is to add them into the prize pool. I'll put the older maps in as well. So people can choose based on where they come. So the prize pool should consist of:

LE Crimson Gem of Cyttorak
LE Fin Fang Finger x2
New Maps x10
BiBtB Jamie Madrox (possibly more than one)
I think theres at least one HoT Asgard Map and Cemetry Map left as well.

Fellowship will also automatically get a Crimson Gem of Cyttorak.

So if we had 12 players, then the top 4 would end up with 2 prizes. I'll try and get a few more Jamie's, so most people will get 2 prizes.

Could be hard to choose what to take if you win though!

Was fun boys. Hope to make it back soon.

Glad you could come. Hope to see you guys again sometime.

What did you think of your first tournament experience?

It's hard getting used to the limited number of turns. I remember my first tournament that came as a shock, since home games are normally played out until last man standing.

Limited number of rounds forces you to push more and play more aggressively.

It was the Bens' first time. I've played a few games in Sydney at the Tin Soldier... interesting they go on 12 turns instead of 10.

Your Luke Cage Pony is really disturbing.
