Hulk smashes onto shelves

The Marvel HeroClix: Incredible Hulk counter top micro-set and Fast Forces hit stores today.

A few things the buyer should know:
  • Counter top display boosters are NOT taped! (So no cheating!)
  • The boosters are bigger and the cards are less likely to be mangled.
  • The boosters are bigger and the figures can freely move around inside them.
  • Many retailers did not get their complete orders, and some are missing Fast Forces completely. They're not due in until 12/14.
  • The paint and figures themselves look good and click well.
  • Assortment is pretty good. For example,  I purchased two mini-bricks (6 boosters wrapped together in the display unit) and got 9/10 figures and no more than 2 copies of the 3 doubles I pulled. (No "6 Sins for Jon" replays this time around!)

I call this a pretty good day 2 for the set. Now only two weeks until the full set releases!

Lord of the Rings HeroClix has been pushed pack to December 7th.  This is despite the rumors that it is already in stock at the distributors.  Perhaps only a portion is at the distributors at this point.

We'll learn more soon.
