Did it happen/was it established in the last 5 years? No? Marvel don't care.

Thank goodness Quicksilver already had a kid!

But him and Rictor did use Terrigen crystals after they lost their powers to gain a weird version of them.

But then in Children's crusade scarlet witch re-powerified rictor with regular mutant powers. the only other thing that happened in that story was cassie lang died.

yeah, it makes no sense.

"For the first time ever," Wizkids is doing that thing that it did a decade ago...

I mean, they're trying!

Trying to gauge just how dumb their playerbase actually is?

What's really funny about it is that this isn't the first time they said something was the first time when it wasn't.

What an otiose exclamation (from WK)!

What's that?

Prerelease events

Ah, I see! But if the last one was a decade ago like you said, wouldn't it have been the previous company?

I didn't say that the last one was a decade ago, I just said that they were done a decade ago.

There was a prerelease event at GenCon for WoS a few years ago, so it's not even the first time NECA has done a HeroClix prerelease.

(It may have accidentally been turned into a prerelease at the last minute because of product being delayed; I'm not sure about that.)

Understood. If they've done prereleases before, then a little intellectual honesty would be nice. Prerelease events outwardly seem like a nice thing to do, but it doesn't look like the player base holds them in the same regard as, say, previews, something they rightly expect for every set, so I'd say there's no real need to hype it up using falsehoods as part of your pitch. Just call it what it is.

Exactly. Call it "the return of prerelease events" or something.
