I'd offer, but considering the mailing problems I seem to be having, I'm reluctant to do so.

Is there anything I have that entices you? We can work out the shipping issues later.

Kedryn and I both comic geeks, so Marvel and DC appeal to us both. I could have gone either way with the 60's Batman (we ended up getting it). Kedryn has no interest in KickAss 2, but I wanted it. I'd also like to get all of the Street Fighter stuff while Kedryn wants all of the BioShock stuff (which we have most of).

We've been able to skip the Tolkien stuff (which actually surprised me), Iron Maiden, Pacific Rim, Assassin's Creed, and Star Trek. I'd like to get Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I honestly think at this point I'm going to forget about it thanks to the announcement of Days of Future Past.

I have spent much persuasion on the local post office, btw, they are hunting that package down. Anyway, let me take a look at your thread, I'm sure we can come up with something because honestly... I never play the silly guy.

Only downside is no Horrorclix card, but I don't think that would bother you.

I totally agree with the sentiment of too much product out there these days, I think that's a big reason why playtesting is missing some rather obvious problems *cough*Spiral*cough*. Did get Pacific Rim but only because I was determined to preorder a CTD and split it with a friend. both got a full set that way. Been skipping LOTR and most non-comic Clix. And honestly, unless there's a really fun selection in Superman/LOSH, I'll probably be picking and choosing out of that and Iron Man, as Armor Wars 2 doesn't excite me all that much.

Improved Targeting makes me cringe, frankly.

Oh, how I wish I knew Mal would be willing to trade his Zombie Wolverine. He's all we need to complete Supernova. But first is first.

Lack of a card doesn't bother me at all.

I have been seriously cutting back as well. I nearly skipped TT entirely. I am skipping almost all of the non-comic sets save Star Trek, though the KA2 trailer made me want those. I am getting barely any of Iron Man and probably skipping LoSH entirely. AvX might be a different story.

You don't want him anyway. He doesn't have a card. *waves hand to complete the jedi mind trick*

Same here. Heroclix is a great game and aside from a couple power-gamer A-holes in town, we've really got a good group at both venues. But I can't play a lot of the stuff that comes out. The completionist in me really needs to win Powerball.

I wish they'd go back to 3 big sets per year, 1 starter and 1 collector's pack. That I could handle.

I could even do 2 main sets and 2 CTD's plus a starter and a collector pack.

Meh, I rarely buy packs these days.

One of my friends is a fairly big power buyer/seller. He gets like 8 cases of almost every set. I toss him $40 for a CUR, and then I trade for SR's/Chases.

I usually avoid all of the non main sets, though I think I'm going to get the KA2 stuff. The gf and I loved that movie, and I think it may be an easy, non-competitive way for us to enjoy the game together.

Reached that point as well. Other than trading for a few things like the Trinity of Sin - even though I won't ever play them - I have nothing from Titans onwards, really. I even look at the unit lists and nothing makes me go "Oooh." Heck, the giant robots and kaiju from PR should've done that. I've briefly toyed with Batman 66 but that's almost more to have sculpts of Gorshin, Roddy McDowell, Vincent Price, etc. but they'll just get sent straight to a storage unit. That's not a good use of Clix and just begins to feel wasteful and discouraging.

I do feel a large part of it is that I didn't take -that- many months off but came back to literally hundreds of figures - and tons of mini-sets - to have to try and catch up to as well as a massive rules change. Heck, I never finished the Utility Belt and NML figures that had me so enamored.

You interested in buying one as opposed to trading? Because he's the one zombie I've ever managed to acquire (stupid scumbag ripping off my Dark Phoenix collosal with the promise of Zombie Hulk) and I'm actually looking to unload the overwhelming bulk of my collection.

I have the same feeling. Last thing I bought was a case of ASM, and really the only reason I got that was because I felt bad for my venue owner. Too much, too fast, too hard to keep up with. And honestly, I'm not a fan of how the game is changing, gameplay wise. The things I liked about the game the most are what is being lost with elements like Spiral and team bases.

I am not opposed to this.

So...the DVD's / video game shelves I had in the upstairs room of the house - only place I was allowed things "publically" viewable (and some of it was nerdy - what's the point of having all the volumes of the initial Filmation DVDs of Masters of the Universe that make up a huge multi-trych/mural if they're boxed away?) - have been "removed to storage" by advisement of one of the Kumbiyah Therapists. That means besides clothes in closets / dressers and the assorted toiletries, there's pretty much no sign of "me" in the house for which I pay. Not just the DVDs and such but also things like my guitars and not even a single book anywhere...

I am told by said-therapist that it's the normal way of doing things...that the house is completely the woman's area, ergo the existence of "man caves" (which I don't get to have and as I think about it, "cave" really designates sending you off to a dark hidden area that makes "your space" the equivalent of a Kevin Smith-esque person living in Mom's basement...).

All I know is I feel...erased.

But I realize maybe I'm being a drama queen. After all, the therapist says that's the way normal people function. So I guess the point I've been meandering to - I'm actually feeling almost "shocky", dumb as that sounds - would be to ask "Is that true?" Because I have to say, for something that's supposed to be "right" it feels way off but maybe I'm being too close minded or something...

(I know I get a little hung up on having "stuff". I know a large part of that comes from living through my family losing all our stuff. Also lot of years as a "faceless being with only a Go Bag" - eg: time overseas with military medical corps - meant having a place I could come back and feel like I had a presence became a bit of a greedy luxury. I note this only because I feel it's only fair to present the "Devil's Advocate" views to my whining.)

What is the room becoming? I had to put away all my "childish" things to a shelf in my closet and a tiny closet under the stairs, but that was more for the kids' rooms and a guest room
