We all seen it coming. As soon as they announced the set we knew it was going to be delayed. Heck, we all know the next set will be delayed. At least this time it's only two weeks instead of a month.

Now all they have to do is announce that the contents of the prize kit have changed yet again. Because we all know that's coming.

In all fairness, can they announce a "change" when they haven't even announced the contents?


Far too much cynicism on the Realms lately and frankly, I don't understand it. We're getting regular previews, Justin continues to share info (presumably as he gets it), and we have a new set that's coming out shortly (just over a month).

I just don't get why folk are so down on this. It's two weeks.

I don't care about the release date changing really, except for the fact that this will absolutely KILL release events and the sealed events most of us venues would run for the first two weeks.
The two weeks before Christmas are notoriously hard weeknight/weekends to get people out to heroclix.... [hope]...maybe the excitement of a new set will overcome that [/hope]

Be pretty bad if the ship blew up. Then what? Actually I probly shouldn't joke about that it might happen then I'd feel bad.

It's probably thanks to NEXTWAVE:


Nextwave, IN your Boats. Sabotaging Your Clix

They are a business company... and being consistantly tardy with release dates is VERY bad business. They loose a lot of money by doing this. If they'd over-estimate the release date (say christmas), and come out with an 'earlier than expected release date' (like the 15th) that'd be a great selling point, even though it was later than their aimed goal of the 1st. Now they are simply seen as an unreliable distributor.

This is the most cogent and rationale response I could find to address your allegations and concerns:


Happy to help!

Ah, but they have announced the contents:

Yah, yah, "subject to possible changes."

So I suppose they'll just claim we were "confused" again.

(Yes, I am still very bitter about the WoS change and when/how it was communicated.)

Touche'.


Well played, sir.

Really? They lose money because it comes out later? Huh, everyone still buys clix in droves. Seems to me sets are still consistently sell out. Come on man. Nobody gives half a #### about it coming out 2 weeks later. People will come on here and complain, which is what probably 40% of this site is (complaining), and they still buy Heroclix product in mass.

Sorry man, it does not lose them anything. If it upsets you that much, and makes them a poor distributor, then quit playing the game. Yes I know that people need to voice their concerns/complaints, which I am fine with. But they are definitely not losing money because they delay new sets. That's a straight up lie. Is it a complainable offense? Yea it kind of sucks that it's coming out 2 weeks late, but to say they are losing money because of it, ehhhhhhh, nah.

I give 3 quarters of half a pound sign, what does that equal?

Can't wait for the next preview! I bet at least one lantern from each color is gonna be in it.

I don't understand why so many people are upset about a minor 2 week delay when Wizkids is giving us 2 sets within 3 months of each other, and another set already annouced for the end of first quarter in 2011.

Sounds like pretty good business practice to me.

If you think losing two weeks of December availablility on your product doesn't cost money, you have never been involved in selling anything.
