Only 3 sets next year btw...

Probably 2 Marvel, 1 DC which Sucks even more...

OK, let's see how this really changes game play.

The maps are narrower.

That's it.

Good stuff. There is a concerted effort to reward store owners. This is long overdue. There is a concerted effort to bring in new players, this is good. Occasional players will have to trade to get some of the "Collector's Edition" (not LE) figures.

I think I don't want to collect Heroclix anymore. It used to be fun, now it's a pain in the butt.

3 sets is amost nothing!

no, 0 is nothing, 3 is what we get on average

Lobo and Bi-Beat are roomers!

"for law players can't do cards or stats"

Why is that? It's easier to get a full set now: one case (or four clix bricks) should complete a full set. That's easier than it is now.

Standard LEs need to be won, same as before the SRs.

Mailaway LEs are the same as before.

Now there is an LE available for buying a ClixBrick, which you would do anyways if you're trying to complete a set.

Plus, there is an LE if you bring a new friend in to try the game. That shouldn't be too tough for most people. If you don't have a venue supporting this program, then eBay is the same option is was before.

How is any of this a bigger pain in the butt then before?

This last bit if I remember correctly is only good if you live in the USA!! :disappoin
Doesn't do me any good in Canada...

Its for North America - so unless you plan on switching hemispheres, you're in.

WK said the reason for more Marvel sets over DC is cos "Marvel sells much better."

Indy won't be made in boosters again cos "its not economically viable."

So what happens to the retailer who's sold 36 boosters from a case, and someone comes in wanting one more. Does he split that brick, and therefore potentially disappoint someone who might come in later and buy all 12 remaining boosters? Does he refuse to sell that single booster to his customer, hoping someone will want to buy up a whole dozen boosters at once? Given what we've seen with past sets, there's a good chance there won't be any cases left to reorder later, so retailers could very well be stuck in these types of conundrums.

And many local comic shops give you a discount if you buy a whole case. If you buy a whole case from your local shop, can you still get the LE, or will you be forced to buy 4 separate bricks and pay a higher price (although doing so would give you 4 LEs, so for some it might be considered an even trade)? That isn't made clear anywhere in the announcement.

I no longer buy Clix at all, but some friends of mine bought 4 cases of Fantastic Forces, and STILL didn't get two complete sets between them (they got only one Spider-Man 2099 and NO Vet Tigras!), so this should make them pretty happy.

Holy junk - the Nanobots FEAT sounds awesome! Especially teamed with Rip It Up...

yeah i want Nanobots definetly!

Icons previews start tomorrow . . . and SethJ previewed a feat from the next Marvel set: Nanobots . . . use an adjacent object to heal 2 damage

You can't use an object that's being carried.
