Does anyone know if there will be heroclix stuff at this?

And how many australia players are planning on going?

no idea.....

Yes they are ment to be playing HC up there

I know Keef (Adelaide) was looking at going, and Destiny (Brisbane) will most likely be there .

I was looking at going, but need to look at flights and my avaliable time off before I confirm.

I'd consider going up to GenCon for clix, but I'd have to find out soon.

I'm hoping to make it, but at this stage, it's more and more unlikely.

I put a message up on the Gencon boards, and was told that they were planning to have games up there, and there will be an announcement about it later.

I will post more precise details once they are finalised

If your thinking of attending I would encourage you to do so
This will be a great event.

Also if anyone needs any specific details like hotels nearby

I live in Brisbane so I may be able to help

How exactly does this work? Do you have to buy a brick at the convention?

That's what i was wondering. Who's gonna still be sitting on their boxes and receipt from sinister if they didn't get venom at the time. I notice you have worlds finest listed. Nice but not worth the trip. Not good if we can't get any the conventional way because you've got them all though. Nice batch of prizes though. Wish I could afford to just zip off to brissie.

Hhmm... Croftminster has 4 Brick redemption forms and receipts from me, following Wizkid's 'instructions' (those who went to the source - or ebay - were infinitely wiser).

I got my Crisis brick yesterday but with a limit of 5,000 WF's and having Wizkids announce 'Sold Out' last Friday and then there being some (limited, moreso I imagine) at the 'Heroclix Nats' announced, here, yesterday...

...it all leaves a pretty sour taste.

I imagine Wizkids are ecstatic. I emailed their 'customer support'. No reply.

Whoever makes the Nats should be suitably rewarded. Luck to them.

Yeah, exactly.

I've bought a brick of every set, minimum, but there's no way that I'd still have barcodes after a couple of years!

Hi All

I know the brick figure redemptions have been an issue in the past
and sadly there is nothing I can do about that.

I however, do think that just getting some brick figures into Australia is a Great improvement and bodes well for the Future.

I can assure you that Croftminster has gone to alot of effort
to get brick figures and make them available for the players in Australia.
(There is alot that Croftminster does do for Heroclix in Australia
I have seen it first hand with the planning for Supanova and Gencon)

Things are much better then they were a few years ago
and Supanova and Gencon are the start of many great things to come.

I would encourage everyone to come along to Gencon
and enjoy some excellent tournaments
