a lil bummed about the mail away, but i'll get over it.

You actually have extra items to give away on some weeks based on the 51 items in the kit. The only difference with this kit is it won't be all of the same prize on each week to give out (i.e. on the weeks you give out the special objects you give out 2 special objects and 2 cards to fill the four spots or some version of that) Now it does make for an interesting choice as a judge, do you give out 1 special object and keep one for yourself and then give out a card for second and fellowship. Although, now that venues can get multiple kits you may have more prizes to give out every week. My venue gets 8 cases so he qualifies for 2 prize kits so if Wizkids makes enough kits my store will have plenty of prizes for 10 weeks.

this is the only Catwoman I care about.

I would have a LOT of luck if they do this version.

I like the way Ragnork Surtur was done. I hate to go back to the mail-away model.

On the OP kit: I don't play for prizes. Sounds like the venue/tourney players are getting what they need, though. Thumbs up.

Very, very excited about B&tB, more than I was before. 25 never-before-clixed characters? PLUS classic team-up in the form of Duo figures?!? Cool beans.

Question: Is it possible HeroClix is more profitable than it was before?? I hope so. Hope we can get 5 more years out of this game, minimum.

Unless I missed something, the set's still 25% duos, Goat, not 100%.

Echoing these concerns, as it was almost a month after HoT's "release date" that it finally reached UK stores. And I'd rather like this Brick figure...

(And apparently there are some places such as the Netherlands are still waiting on HoT.)

And unless I missed something, that's still a lot of duos, with a brick figure duo that isn't World's Finest.

So right off the bat, 25% of the set doesn't interest me and it's bound to get worse from there. Meanwhile, the brick figure isn't much of an enticement for me, either. So about 14 figures I don't have much interest in, with maybe an exception here or there among the duos. And this is before knowing the set list.

In comparison, there are only about 11 figures in Arkham that I have no interest in, along with a semi-interesting brick figure.

Factor in characters I don't like - any Legion of Superheroes characters, for example - and there's a good chance that about 20 or so characters won't interest me at all. That's a pretty substantial number.

It's hard to say for certain how much interest I'll have in the set until we see the list (and then, my interest may change again based on the dials), but from what we know so far? The set inspires a big, fat "Meh."

This Brick Oportunity was the perfect place for The Wonder Twins. THAT would had be a Sucess duo!

Stupid people buy bottled water, too. Whats your point?

That any jerkwad who really needs to profit from playing can still do so.

Or at the very least, anyone who needs to feel that their triumph means something still can because the prize still has value to it.

i think this was all set in stone before neca. that's why they are only 5000 and neca did say since the hammer of thor was popular with the brick program that they more than likely go to that in the future when neca starts doing the sets.

I'd rather see something useful. They might as well print the rules for a move action on a piece of cardboard and give that as a prize.

sorry didn't read the whole thread.

im with you on this set.

So what you are saying is that the only prizes should be ones that you want.
Regardless of if someone else wants them.
