I want that house!

The colors are all Ackbar, not Vader. Nice try, though.

I have no problem with a staggered release.

Step 1, make it exclusive (at a con, toy store, foreign country, etc.)

Step 2, six months later, make it available everywhere to everyone.

This way the psychos can froth in their frenzy, HeroClix/WizKids gets some attention in specific areas, and those who have a semblance of balance in their life can wait the 6 months to get the figures (if they even want them).

Not being too up on my general discussion, I have to ask: are people complaining about this too? I thought exclusives were going to be the end of Heroclix, and now making them non-exclusive is a bad idea?

I don't much care, and that goes for the whole situation. I'm not terribly interested in the gravity feed figures or the new colossals. I'll probably pick some up, but I won't go way out of my way for it. Selling them at my usual gamin' store increases my chances of buying, but not by a ton.

I actually stayed away from here for that past few days cause all the hate over the GL and TRU stuff was irritating. I'll get my apocalypse one day.

I haven't seen the announcement but I think it is a good thing as it seems they are targeting the wrong market with these. If they were starters with dumbed down rules, like alpha clixs it would feel more right.

We could film a show called 18 cats and counting.

I wish they would do things like this for SDCC...everything seems to be about wizard world philly around these parts :-/

Note to self: apply to be a dental assistant.

I actually asked a mod if we could give Wade fake warning points for calling himself one of the horsemen and then get the points removed later, but apparently only Typhon can remove warnings, so we scrapped the idea.

I was prepared to type up my response, and then I saw that Wintremute already said pretty much exactly what I think, so here's his post again:

At SDCC we should all drink a bunch of margaritas and hold the "Slightly Tipsy HeroClix Championship."

OR, buy a few bottles of tequila and take a shot each time you give one of your figures an action token... call it the "How The Heck Did I End Up in Tijuana And How Did I Get This 'I Survived The Donkey Show' T-Shirt?" championship!

Sure why not

Got my grubby paws on some GL Gravity Feed boosters this evening. Traded one of the players at my venue a decent number of older LEs and Us. Only missing these:

001 Green Lantern
002 Hal Jordan
003 Kilowog
006 Ganthet

You need kilowog and Hal for like 8 movement charge!

Cracked open the Fast Forces GL set last night. I gotta say, each figure in there looks like it's going to be really fun to play.

Abin Sur carrying fliers = win.

Abin Sur carrying GROOT = Winnning!
