I mean primes are 1 per team is the "supposed" reasoning behind them being cheaper but we all know it's just a money grab. Primes & chases are usually costed well to promote sales.

This game isn't built on balance. It's built on sales. I'm surprised people still play at the venue level. Seems absurd to me.

Mine is pretty simple. For every year beyond 3 years, I like to shave off 10% and round to the nearest 5.

Example(s):



75 becomes 65



90 becomes 70



125 becomes 85




110 becomes 75

I stop at 30% reduction for clix made in 2017.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that, from 2016 on I just cut cost by 45% rounded.



120 becomes 65



80 becomes 45



139 becomes 75




300 becomes 165 -*Think he's too good at 165? I submit to you:



You might say, 45% feels like a lot, but its IMHO the only way to make those dials of long ago a viable option on the battlefield, considering their combat values/stats. (If its pre oreo base, I don't bother as most of my pre-oreo's were sold long ago.)

Is it perfect? Nah, but it makes it not feel bad to play those older characters. They feel worth playing.

Ooh, I like this one. I especially agree with your point regarding Prince Kal-El - I think it's really hard to overbuff these figures given that new figures have a novel of text and it's all upside. I feel even with the discount, the old figures just do less on rate. I'm likely going to do some hodge podge of your method and spider_ham's method.

The last time we talked about this, it seems like we settled with this:

2002-2006 50%
2007-2011 40%
2012-2016 30%
2016-2019 20%

From my perspective, I'm less concerned about whether a character feels fair or unfair compared to modern, and more so interested in being able to play some of my favorite older characters in a 300-point game without them being one third of the team or more

Year of release: --- Multiply the cost by:

2026-2027 ---------- cost x 1.50
2024-2025 ---------- cost x 1.30
2022-2023 ---------- cost x 1.15
2020-2021 ---------- 100%
2017-2018-2019 --- cost x 0.80 (20% off)
2014-2015-2016 --- cost x 0.60 (40% off)
2011-2012-2013 --- cost x 0.50 (50% off)
2008-2009-2010 --- cost x 0.40 (60% off)
2005-2006-2007 --- cost x 0.35 (65% off)
2002-2003-2004 --- cost x 0.30 (70% off)



...and for those very very old figures, try this BFC:

When performing an attack, check before rolling 2D6:
If PRINTED ATK > 9, roll 2D6
If PRINTED ATK = 9, roll 1D6 + 1D8
If PRINTED ATK < 9, roll 2D8



jw008 Green Arrow 40 becomes 24
adw004 Hawkeye 30 becomes 24



AN013 Green Arrow 80 becomes 32
AVM009 Hawkeye 75 becomes 37



jltw021 Green Arrow 122 becomes 73
caav043 Hawkeye 75 becomes 75



cr026 Green Arrow 104 becomes 42
cw039 Hawkeye 98 becomes 49
