Oh - and kudos to Wizkids for looking at their communication. I think it indicates that they are starting to listen to the community about that particular deficiency, so for those who have made respectful and pointed remarks towards that - well done folks.

Superman's trait needs to read, "Superman can use willpower. Superman Modifies his attack value by +2 when making a close combat attack."

Maybe then i'd play him at 196 points.

If this is the way the game is going ... I think I'm almost done.

it's already gone this way, compare this supes to Magog from the superman set. Magog is 172. compare this supes to CW Ares.

compare him to JL52 superman. the streets of gotham one doesn't even have the superman team ability.

maybe the trait should say +1 attack value for close combat instead.

Power creep has happened in the past, and likely will continue to happen, but they have dialled it back fortunately in the last few sets.

Players deliberately asking for power creep, such as your post, which would mark that Superman well above the curve, is really not good for the game. It would give a piece a regular 12-13 attack for half of its dial with what will be its most common attack, under 200 points. With a full dial of will power. That is not reasonable.

I think the communication is fine. For the maybe once a week or so the average clicker goes to the hobby store, he/she has access to the Internet (if they don't, they should probably get with 2012... The monstrous Internet isn't going away) and has Facebook or knowledge of heroclix.com even if they are not realms members. It is kinda nice that they would solicite information to the stores directly, but I would prefer it to be release dates and perhaps a 6 month overview of what is to come.

Get Internet... If you can afford a case of bud light or a bottle of jack, then the Internet is a drop in the hat... Jeeze

That Superman dial, to me, looks more like the Superman from Action Comics.

You cannot try to induce reverse power creep. It will not work. These pieces are bad. They are bad in comparison to other pieces of equal cost and bad in comparison to other pieces with the same name. They just released a Batman of lower cost with higher stats and better power set with more clicks of life. Same with Superman and Wonder Woman. Why should I buy these or even want to trade for them when I can get them now and cheaper?

Yep. Power Girl is the poster girl of messed up Av. And the only thing keeping that Superman from being my number one go-to is his Av. This guy is great in comparison.

Hmm, maybe it's time for me to sig you!

If your only concern is min/max and keeping up with power creep, then there will almost always be a "better piece" for whatever purpose... Continuing at a more neutral rate may mean that 90% of released clix have a little more trouble holding their own against the 10% of "broken"* clix out there, but then, they would've had those problems anyway.

* "90%", "10%", and "broken" were all used illustratively. I in no way believe the gap is that narrow, and would cap the so-called "broken" at less than 5 figures total.

it frustrates me to no end that there's seems to be no planning behind figs that come out. The New52 Rookie Batman were 100 and 119 points. Now the Experienced is 76?
I don't know why I care, but I do.
Just do away with REV, if you're not going to pay attention to it.

great sculps, especially Supes.

If those Sculpts or tiny, I will not buy them. It is like they should change the name to MicroClix. If they get any smaller, they might as well be Pogs. There is no way you could appreciate any detail or paint jobs, if they are too small, and they look tiny.

It has worked pretty well with range values. I remember around HoT time, 10/11 range was on every team. Now, only the 150+ point characters get anything more than an 8 range, for the most part.

That's a good point. It has indeed worked out pretty well.

Blech! I hate when Batman doesn't have the BATMAN team ability. Especially when he needs it due to only having 2 clix of stealth.
The Superman is meh, and Wonder Woman doesn't have super strength.
Add the fact that they are being sold together as the trinity and don't have the Trinity keyword, and you have a poor pack.
