You can tell you just came back recently. This same post was made 8921370917283098 times a few months ago.

edit: It wasn't as nice sounding though. The previous posts were usually very angry.

I believe I returned the week after GSX was released. So yes... I'm far, far behind.

Cool! I know I saw mentions of this trade coming together earlier in this thread or the previous one, but I don't know how much was spelled out for public consumption. Would it be too forward to ask what was given for the Galactus, and whether this was for the 2004 or the Coming of Galactus Galactus?

Either way, I hope both of you get a huge charge out of the new possibilities.

I'd have gladly paid Wizkids the money back in '04 for one at the convention, or roughly the same price for the later one, but they didn't make it reasonable so I never ended up with one. It's probably for the best, as it would likely just have been another display piece -- I've yet to use either my Spectre or Fin Fang Foom in a game. If I'd gotten a Starro I probably would have tried that one out, though, but who knows? I really liked the Angry Spirits element in Spectre, yet I never set him on a map.

I was a Judge at WWChicago in '04 and got it then. I've never used the darn thing.

I'm leaving now to play with some of the new figs!!

I should sell my Foom, Spectre, and Galactus. And Starro.

I'll just sell all of my clix.

It was very definitely a fan-directed dial. Did the champion that year ever offer what he suggested to the design team up front? (If he did.) If what we received was a dial that was negotiated down from a super-fan's wishes, I don't know if I can even imagine what would have had to be on the original offering if what we received was a reined-in one.

On the HSS point for Kurt, maybe stipulate that if he makes an attack during his action that his Speed is to be reduced by... 2? 3? More? Something to allow him to retain the ability to cross large distances, but to give us some sense of the stress of that.

Of course, now that the WoS version is here it becomes part of an argument for some in favor of retirement. Making the next time he appears more character-accurate without making it clearly inferior will be the challenge, and given what was packed into the dial it's likely to be a very intense challenge.

It's what I did....well except the Jerry Damage clix cause those are just awesome.

Foom is such a cool, cool sculpt, though. It's a terrific translation of Kirby's work into three dimensions, and even if it never becomes more than a display piece for me I won't begrudge the $85 I spent for it.
Uh-oh. Someone get this man a... healthy snack loaded with natural sugars!

Oh, just give him some chocolate!

That year WWE was one of the first cons for the season, and they were using a first come/first served ticket give-away for opportunities to buy one, so they ended up initially going to the people who were camped out in line early that morning. By the later conventions they switched to the raffle system, which was at least better... but too late to do me any good.

Part of me tells myself I'm such a Marvel fan(boy) that the Big G would have proven the exception among the colossals, and I'd have played him at least once using the scenario, but it's not to be known.
Enjoy!

I was planning on going to GenCon this year to compete. I felt I had as good of a shot at winning as anyone else, but now I can't go. If I would've won, I would have been very tempted to create a figure that was essentially a big "middle finger" to the hyper competitive cheese player. Something fun and wacky, yet a must have. Then I'd ask to make it a chase so people would curse my name forever. I'm in a bitter mood right now.

Nightcrawler has a 3 mile limit on his ports (or used to until a writer came along who ignored it, much like artists do with Storm's eyes). I suppose saying he shouldn't have a high speed is pointless now.

Another note. I played with all the gravity feed figures last night. Had a big HYDRA vs. SHIELD game. It was a blast! Sure they aren't the best figures as far as competitive play goes, but it was so much fun playing "position" pieces. It reminds me of how the game once was for me. Really gives the game a different feel when nobody has a printed damage above 3. HYDRA ended up winning. It's pretty dang fun to play Stealth + Mastermind.

This my friends, is why I'm an Ogre. I heard gibberish being written about the Ogres being undeserving of our rep. Again, I say Pshaw! Does Chewbaca deserve rep? Of course he does- if for nothing else than for his dancing! I say his rep should be commensurate with the number of faux vowels in his birthplanet. If Chewbacca deserves rep than I say Ogres deserve rep!

Down with the man- Ogre Power!

Sometimes these moves work out. Much depends upon how successful (remunerative) the sell-off was, which is generally dependent in turn upon how hastily it was undertaken. The people I know who reached a critical point and sold off their comics collections generally did so at a huge discount because they sold it in one or a few bulk lots to someone who was in the business of turning them around for a profit, and so they received a tiny percentage of what they thought the collection was worth. The final reaction in every sense was one of bitterness, and none of those people have ever stepped back into collecting.

I'm such a packrat, though, and - getting back to Heroclis - I've been too lazy to even effectively shed my extras over the years.

I initially read this as you referring to yourself as a parakeet. A parakeet? That's just nonsense!
