Lord of the Ring HeroClix

Wizkids/NECA threw us a curve ball today with the announcement of the Lord of the Rings HeroClix game. While this is a welcome addition to the growing world of HeroClix, long simply a place for comic book super heroes, one cannot help but wonder how the powers of Middle Earth will star up to the powers of teh Last Son of Krypton?

Which archer will have a truer aim, Legolas or Haweye?

We will see, sometime in the second half of 2011.

Star Trek Expeditions - Spring 2011

From Game Trade Magazine


Created by award-winning game designer Reiner Knizia, Star Trek Expeditions takes 1-4 players on a cooperative mission in the roles of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Uhura as they respond to an invitation from the Nibian government to open discussions about the planet joining the United Federation of Planets. However, all is not as it seems.

Lead your Away Teams to solve the major story arcs plus key side missions before the Klingon Fleet arrives or the lone cloaked Klingon Battle cruiser in orbit destroys the Enterprise and her crew. Three difficulty levels, random side missions, player strategies, and a unique branching mission tree ensure every game will be a unique memorable experience.

Each Set includes

 six highly detailed, fully painted Clix miniatures
• a game board
• 14 Stardate cards
• 42 Energize Cards
• 21 Captain's Log Cards
• 25 Captain's Log Supplemental Cards
• 15 Regular and five Major Discovery Tokens
• a Score Tracker
• four away team cards
• four turn order cards
• three Custom dice

SRP: $49.99

Happy 2011 HeroClix fans

OK, so this is a little late (what can I say, 2010 was so good it was hard to say goodbye).

We start a brand new year at the beginning of a new event cycle for DC75!  Lots of local events (just look up)are going on, all supported with Wizkids prize support.

But 2011 has plenty in store for Clix fans.  Giant Sized X-men is now only a few months away, the debut of the "totally themed" 6-8 figure sets that Justin Ziran mentioned late last year, plus the Iron Maiden Clix (whatever those may be), plus a Hal Jordan Free comic Book Day figure just in time for the Green Lantern movie this summer!

For the non-Clix portion of Wizkids line, the highly anticipated Star Trek game will be out sometime in the first half of 2011.

Yes, it will be a fun 2011.
