Man, no new team abilites on the PAC.

Wasn't that one of the big things they promised with this starter set?

####.

I'm glad to finally see the stats on the starter figs as well.

UGH!

the danger room map is junk

First legit laugh I've got from a post in a while. Good jaerb.

TB - thinks newcomers will also be perplexed (no pun intended) by Con Artists.

a couple questions or points:

Changes:

I can no longer find the enrty that states that to use a ladder you must subtract 1 from your movement. Is that correct??

I am confused about LOF and elevated attackers. ok. The elevated targeting the grounded target seems the same.
However, when a grounded figure targets an elevated target, we get the same and used to statement that the only blocking terrain that lof crosses must be in the square of the target! [so far n change] then the next line states that grounded blocking terrain does not block LOF to the elevated target [SAY WHHHAAATTT????]
This is a typo I'm sure .
Did you catch that too??

wes

Soooooo...
they made new figures to put in the Starters...
But they left the old fiures in the boosters..........

"...But these are all great figures -- especially since five of the six fit into themes that I love to play."


Hey, RP, that "sixth man out" that you DON'T plan to use in theme teams you play wouldn't happen to be Elektra, would it?

Overall, I have to admit I'll probably buy a starter just for these new renditions of clix. I am glad that they are all available in the same pack so I don't have to go out of my way to buy any Universe boosters. E Spider-Man has got to be one of the most playable versions of him yet! And, what-do-ya-know, it only took Wizkids 5 Marvel sets to make him so!

I love the new spider-man. That's the spider-man I've been waiting for, a cheep wild card who can go into any team. I can't wait for it.

I'm gonna repaint Hobby into a Green Goblin and say it's the guy from the Green Goblin comic. I think he's very playable too.

Wasp is gonna find a home in a lot of teams too. I use the E all the time for a cheep Avenger's taxi.

Elektra, yep, there she is.

As for the two mutants, Doesn't seem to be wildly different from the originals. Powers are mixed up a bit more and no charge. They're good though.

I was gonna get the starter anyways, now I'll be happy with it.

Everyone has allready said it, but that Spider-Man is SOOO playable. Open heroclix anyone?

I actually really like the cheap Sinister Syndicate version of Hobgoblin. Sure his AV is carp, but thats what his team ability is for.

Wow! Those starter figs are all awesome! Amazing cost effective figures! 19 points for a free move taxi with 19 defense!

It's amazing to see how cheap they are. Finally a Hobgoblin that I can justify playing.

Wolverine, Sabretooth and Spider-Man are amazingly cheap! COOL!

I was impressed with the figure list all the way up to figure #007...


BTW, Wasp has a 17 D, unless I just read wrong.

On Elektra:

What purpose does Combat reflexes serve on her last click? Ain't that kind of odd?

So, is it illegal now to use pulse wave on your teammates? I hope so.

If damage takes her to her last click, she can still bounce away without taking knockback damage.

Actually that's not totally correct. The latest FAQ clarifies this (and goes along with the way I've been playing it for once). Powers that prevent or cause knockback are checked at the time the dice are rolled, NOT after damage is applied. So she would have had to have combat reflexes before the damage to "bounce away".

Basically having Combat Reflexes on the last click serves only to prevent knockback damage after the figure has already taken damage and been knocked back. This is still good, though!
