Brightest Day Rumors

Certain overseas retailers are posting set information on the DC HeroClix: Brightest Day packs due out this fall.





DC HeroClix: Brightest Day ties in to the Brightest Day story line and as a follow up to the Blackest Night Starter.
Includes a two-sided map and 7 figures - Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, Deadman, Osiris, Hawkgirl, and Captain Boomerang.

The set is due sometime in October and is listing at 28,00 (about $35.00).


This is early in the game on these rumors so, as always, take things with a grain of NaCl.

The Horror...no wait, the Awesome!

There are no HeroClix events going on this weekend!!!  My only suggestion for you is to go see Iron Man three times and get ready for all three games next week!

Yep, Fantasy Games has listed their schedule up to Origins in June.

Web of Spider-man OP Kit info

From Wizkids/NECA


Marvel HeroClix: Web of Spider-Man Organized Play Kit contains everything a retailer needs need to bring HeroClix players into their store for weekly events - including new limited edition figures, 3-D objects, maps and more! 
Each OP Kit include prizes to run 10 weeks of events, with each week giving away prizes for 1st and 2nd place, a fellowship drawing, and a judge reward. A suggested schedule and format guide makes it easy for stores to run HeroClix organized play for the first time.
OP kits are intended for tournament play and NOT FOR RESALE
There is a limit of 3 kits PER retail location. Each store location for a retailer must purchase the minumum specified below to qualify for the kits. 
2 The Brave and the Bold Cases - 1st OP Kit 
7 The Brave and the Bold Cases - 2nd OP Kit 
12 The Brave and the Bold Cases - 3rd OP Kit
Each OP Kit Contains: 
(contents subject to possible changes)

15 Limited Edition figures. All LE figures have different paint jobs from the normal versions of the figures! (3 copies of 5 different figures, each with character card). 
12 3-D objects. All objects have a special game effect! (4 copies of 3 different 3-D objects)
10 Maps (24" x 36")
12 Alternate Team Ability feat cards (3 copies of 4 different cards)
1 Instruction Sheet

So, there are 10 weeks up supported play for WoSM (even though the math ends up to about 12 weeks of 4 items awarded per week).  With week 1 ostensibly being the week of 8/8 - 8/14 that only brings OP support into the end of October.  I guess we'll see what is the plan for the remainder of 2010 and what the product schedule for 4th Q 2010 and beyond are.

Happy Cinco de Mayo fro Wizkids

Another fun and seasonal casual play item from our friends at Wizkids:
from HeroClix.com:


HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

In observance of Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín’s victory at Battle of Puebla we bring you the HeroClix Piñata. Piñatas – usually stuffed with candy and treats – are often part of Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
Enjoy and Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Viva Ignacio!

Blackest Night Shipping change

Due to issues with shipping, the Blackest Night Starter sets are moved back to June 9th.

Justin alerted folks to the issue yesterday on HCRealms


Hey everyone, I just sent a note to our distributors about a release date change.

Barring any additional shipping issues, The Blackest Night Starter will release on June 9th, 2010 vs May 12th, 2010. A sincere apology for the delay we're doing our best to mitigate any issues. I just sent out the note to Diamond/Alliance so stores should find out momentarily.

-Justin



In any event, you can still see the pieces at selected venues in the area that received one for attending the Diamond retailers summit at C2E2 last month.
