Nemesis/Holocaust is AoA too, right?

Cool, Thanks for the heads up. Bishop looks close enough the part he'll probably fill the role on the team OK.

Oh Yeah! I'll have to go hunt him down. Thanks!

There's also the LE Nightcrawler coming in WatX, he's from AoA.

M&M Cyclops, Jean Grey, Dark Beast
GSX Nemesis
MM Blink
WatX X-Man, Nightcrawler (LE)

I think that's all from AoA.

I just don't get why they wont just give us an AoA set and call it good. I mean seriously it has to be one of the most popular alternate universes ever made...

Just as a curiosity, why don't you guys count M&M Bishop among the AoA his costume looks a lot like Bishop's AoA Costume.

A set seems unnecessary when there's already 7+ figs, IMO.

Oh, and Red Son Superman, one of the only two cool Supermen ever, says hello.

I'd be all over a AoA set. The reason we don't get one though is the same reason we can't get the rest of the Exiles line-up. The powers that be hate us.

Considering that there are a lot of figures unmade from that mini, that got passed over for more recent stuff (age of x???), there's definitely a call for the set, or at least more than what we're getting.

I don't know, I mean all the characters are so different then their 616 versions. Plus you cant make a team of AoA. None of clixed AoA characters worked together. There were some cross over or if you stretched but to really do comic acurate well we need a lot more clixed AoA.

Was Red Son that good? I was really close to picking it up the laat time I went comic shopping but I think The Long Halloween sequal won out instead.

IMO, the next X-Men set needs to be focused on AoA with secondary themes of Mutant X and Exiles. That set would fly off the shelves.

And I can't believe we haven't seen Marvel tap the What If...? well for clix.

I'm pretty surprised we haven't seen what if? As well. We got 4 of them but there are a bunch of cool what if? figures we could get. Cap/Scarlet Witch duo, Poison, Devil Daredevil, Spider-Kraven, Thing-Doom, Grimm-Hulk. Man a What if sub themed AoA set would be a dream for me...

If I get to daykill Toodles with a Handy Crane, I would absolutely play that game.

Thanks, fellas! I took the day off work on Friday and spent it with my two oldest daughters, Jackie and Maddie.

Once again, they bugged me about going to Target for more Hobbit Heroclix. The girls bought 4 boosters and I bought 3. Jackie now has a Balin exclusive of her own and I pulled the other Target exclusive, Nori the Dwarf. So you could say that I got all three Target Dwarf exclusives for my birthday!

We rounded off the trip by stopping by the Lego aisle and buying a couple of the small sets - the Saruman/Gandalf wizard duel from LOTR and the "riddles in the dark" scene where Bilbo meets Gollum. There went the last of my birthday money, so we stayed home for the rest of the day and the girls made pumpkin cupcakes - yum! A great time was had by all!

Which 4 did we get? It's escaping me.

I was thinking of Punisher Venom, Doc Doom Sorcerer Supreme, Vampire Wolverine, Barb Ketch Ghost Rider, Professor X Juggernaut, Infinity Gauntlet Surfer, Rogue Thor, Storm Phoenix, etc. Man just looking at the cover gallery has me all excited.

Good deal, man. I could have sworn I texted you a happy one, but looking at my phone, I guess I thought to, but got distracted. My bad, man. I'm glad you had a great one though.

The classic what ifs would be cool too I just haven't had any luck finding the trades with hem in them.

The 4 galatic guardian LEs were from the Newer Fantatic Four What If in the more modern run.

Happy Birthday! That sounds like a great day.
