Previous solicitations for the upcoming Star Trek: The Next Generation HeroClix set were taken down and have recently been replaced. The new solicits indicate the following:

-The set will now be released as two separate Gravity Feeds (with primes).

-The Starter has been downgraded to a Fast Forces.

-The previously announced OP kit is nor conspicuously absent.

-A price increase on Gravity Feed boosters and display boxes.

This thread is not to discuss the inherent problems of these changes. This thread is for a representative for WizKids to give us an explanation for why these changes were made. An explanation is justly owed to a loyal consumer base.

I also highly encourage others to ask for explanations on WizKids Facebook page, their Twitter account, and any associated e-mails they provide on their website.

#noTNGgravityfeed

Here's the answer.

ToS Boosters are shelf warming. Gravity feed sets generally speaking do better. Even as bad as the last TMNT set was received I'm hard pressed to find boosters anywhere. I think Gravity Feeds are a much smaller risk.

The main thing I'm upset with is the loss of Maps (I was really hoping for a Malfunctioning Holodeck) and a Die/Token pack. The main thing I was planning on getting was the starter anyway.

Exactly WK! Change that before is too late!!!

Whatchoo mean 2 separate gravity feeds?

Action packs dont come with maps?

Hold or seat yourself before read the news. Is not nice..

NOW do you believe me, Carlos?

Greed.

This stinks. It's a bad money grab. More commons and uncommons (probably the same in both GFs). But 2 Fast Forces with the same sculptures and different dials and no OP kit so no maps at all puts a hurting on this set. Seems like the set was ready to go but someone decided they needed to drain the customer. Explain why the primes are split per gravity feed? So talking to my distributor and Wizkids on this. It was suppose to come out in November and now a complete cluster. I have a couple customers that were really excited and wanting to buy a case to two, to not being interested at all.

Snif snif snif!

I love love Next Generatiin to no end. And even with that it will not work for me. Was going to buy 2 cases. Now I will get only the starter and atroi and maybe a few singles.

Chase figures - naked Riker, Troi and her mother.

Man, I don't know, I think this varies depending on where you go. I can go to a shop down the street and pick up half a gravity feed from War of Light and a case of Joker's Wild and a couple of Teen Titans super boosters, but they sold out of ToS. The last shop I played at has *numerous* Age of Ultron and Civil War Story OP bricks and cases and a couple of sealed TMNT (first set) gravity feeds that they're trying to unload for half price and nobody wants them, but sold out of ToS.

If they made a triple figure with these characters they could call it Menage A Troi

... I was trying to come up with something along those lines, but ... can't top that.

and ... won't touch that.
