Regarding duos, I've said before that at this point I wouldn't mind it if they made all duos chase figures and all chase figures duos. Give them cool sculpts and interesting dials, and they have just the right amount of neat factor to be compelling chases but are too gimmicky to be "must have" figures.
Iron Man/War Machine, Thor/Loki, Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy, Batman/Robin, and so one would have made great chase figures, and I think that model could be followed for every set, or at least any set where there isn't something topical like white lanterns to take over for awhile.
I think that it is better to switch things up.
I would prefer if they did it like GSX. Use the individual sculpts for CUR or LE but then make it a duo chase figure.

I tend to need to attempt it when I need a big move. My chief opponent loves to play tie down on my Charging bricks or whatever - with pieces generally not worth KOing in a given situation, and unless I attempt the breakaway to hit the higher value target he's attempting to keep my from hitting I generally end up in an overall bad position which can result in a game loss.
We have a guy that sort of follows commandercool, though...won't attempt the roll. I always say 'Thanks for the built-in advantage, Dave'.
That experience just highlighted for me the crippling, game-ending disadvantage that failing two or more consecutive breakway rolls can be. Depending on the circumstances, having even a mid-range figure suffer that kind of crazy action disadvantage is something you can't really come back from.

The "Magic" pinball you spent a good amount of describing at the end of the last thread was the same game that I described and showed links to half a page before you that started the whole pinball conversation.
Yep. Some interesting items in there; I suspect that as production levels will key off pre-orders that this is likely to be their biggest seller ever, despite concerns about the Super Booster prices. I know that the overall price of cases for this are running $10-15 more than recent usual, so it's not as bad as I was afraid it would be.
Down the list of spoilers, one item that jumped out at me because earlier in the day - in a thread about what should and shouldn't be Duos - I'd reiterated something I'd mentioned from time to time about characters that should simply have a proximity bonus, but not be made as Duos (you know -- most of the Duos that have been made but never should have been...) and I pulled an example as the Blood Brothers. (Alien vampires Thanos brought with him during his first, open moves against Earth.) I suggested making them as single figures, as Commons, so they'd be easy to pick up and would have something (presumably a Trait) to give them increased AVs when they're near each other. While we don't have dial specifics, they were confirmed as single figures and one of the Commons. Cool!
Dormammu might be the second colossal I ever consider playing (after Frost Giants)! Next year's sets are more to my liking with Avengers and Guardians so I'm thrilled. Still have to figure out where to buy some Hulk in this area. I've only played clix at two places (so far) and one of them sold out of Hulk preorder with no intentions of buying more so more than likely I'll buy from the other place (provided the price isn't horrific).

Agreed. Dormammu, FTW. However, I have to say I WILL play the revealed colossals in Galactic Guardians. Of the GSX ones, I've played Apocalypse, Apocalypse and Onslaught (not the new one).
