This Sunday (11/14/10) marks the end of an era, the very last HeroClix game hosted at BuyMeToys.com's University Commons location. To commemorate the occasion it will be a special event where players do not bring any objects as they are being provided for you.
The objects that will be randomly given out can be found at this link. Check back between now and Sunday as I may get more included in there.
But 'Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.' Look for more HeroClix events to be hosted starting with the December release of DC HeroClix: DC 75th Anniversary Set!

BuyMeToys.com is moving to a new location.
Well many folks already know about this, but it should be shared anyway.
Starting this week, the University Commons is being partially demolished. The facade that faces SR23 will be torn down and the old Krogers will be coming down as well. This is all in preparation for a new medical plaza that will be built on this location. All of the current tenants are being forced into a very quick move.
Casey and Kelly Heying have already found a new home for their business, a bit higher profile but smaller in overall space. They new shop will be located at JMS Plaza on Grape Road, right next to Michiana Used media's brand new storefront, and the Sprint store.
574-271-TOYS
The phone number will stay the same, all web based aspects of the store will stay the same, and the dedication to the local comic, toy and HeroClix fans will remain the same!
Even though there will be much going on in the store, it will be business as usual. Comics will come in and be up on Wednesdays, special ordered items will be in on time (depending on Diamond and Alliance as always). But expect there to be a lessened "browsing selection" until the new storefront is open.
The last two HeroClix events for the short term will be the first two Sundays in November. After that the store will finish the move and open the brand new doors on Monday, November 22! (Yes, just that fast!)
As for HeroClix in the store. Expect that to start Dec. 1 with the release of DC HeroClix: DC 75th Anniversary Set.
I'll post a link to the official Press release when Kelly gets it out with more details soon.

Mage Knight Return in 2011
NECA/WizKids Announces the re-launch of the Mage Knight ™ Property
(WizKids to release Mage Knight Board Game by Vlaada Chvátil)
HILLSIDE, NJ – October 21, 2010 NECA/WizKids, the leader in collectible gaming, is proud to announce the re-launch of the Mage Knight property. In 2000, Mage Knight defined miniatures gaming by combining a rich back-story, detailed pre-painted miniatures and revolutionary game play. Mage Knight will honor that spirit of innovation within the property by expanding it across several platforms.
The initial Mage Knight offering for release will be a board game designed by Vlaada Chvátil, designer of the acclaimed games: Dungeon Lords, Through the Ages and Galaxy Trucker.
“For me, Mage Knights combine the greatest fantasy archetypes – honor and wisdom, strength and magic. I want to bring to life a Mage Knight as an individual who steers the wheels of history and gives birth to legends. My hope is to capture that essence in a new and engaging way for fantasy fans around the world” says Chvátil.
WizKids President Lax Chandra says “Mage Knight launched our company and created a new industry (CMG) of gaming. Ten years later, we have come full circle. We have wanted to work with Vlaada for a long time and we are thrilled with his vision to make this a new experience while still carrying forward the world that so many people fell in love with.”
In addition to the first boxed set, WizKids/NECA plans several brand extensions set in the Mage Knight universe, including a new take on deck building games and role-playing games.

Web of Spider-man ATAs
Wizkids has been [slowly] releasing the ATAs for Web of Spider-man over the past two weeks. While the method of release may not be preferred, the content it quite a boost for the game. ATAs make Theme Team building even more beneficial and allow you to get a theme team that may be a few points shy of the build into a competitive force.
Now go ahead and Print and Play 'til your heart is content! These, like all other, Print and Play items are tournament legal the day they are posted.
