Days away!
That's where we are sitting right now, just days away from the first of the Captain America related HeroClix of the summer. This Wednesday we'll see the 10 figure "micro set" of Marvel HeroClix: Captain America. and 2 short weeks later the full 60 figure set of the same name hits.
Personally, this will be my favorite set since the relaunch. It has some of my all time favorite characters in it. SHIELD vs. Hydra, Cap vs goons line Mr. Hyde and Cobra as well as classic uber villains Red Skull and Baron Strucker. These are the icingon my huge love of HeroClix cake! And, I don't care how crumby they work on the map, I'm using the Great Lakes Avengers!
Just days, folks! I'm finding it hard to wait.

Previews!
OK folks, I've been a little light on the entries lately, but I do feel that I should pop on to say HOORAY! HOORAY! It's preview day!
Green Lantern fast Forces and Gravity Feed sets figures have all been previewed and today the good folks at Wizkids start Marvel HeroClix: Captain America with THE man, Steve Rogers.
Head that way and check out the figure...a lot of punch for only 99 points!

Green Lantern Clix Gravity Feeds in town
A local Clixer has spotted them at the Target on Ireland Road in South Bend. Get them while you can (but save me some).

HeroClix for the "non-collector"?
A wealth of non-collectible HeroClix are hitting the market in the near future. These Fast Forces will include previously issued sculpts with restated and repainted dials. They will add up to made decent teams and a a great starting point for new players.
While not collectible in sense of having a rarity scheme, they do offer long term players a great opportunity to get different versions of their favorite figures and sometime getting a sculpt that was a harder to acquire Super Rare in a newly remade, no-rarity, format.
This is an improvement of the HeroClix Classics did this with the 3 figure non-blind boosters of Iron Man, Batman and Fantastic Four over the past year, but used the same stats as the previous figure (but did allow Ultimate Nick Fury and scarlet witch back into the Modern age play environment).
Some of the fast Forces we know are coming are the Thor and Green Lantern Movie sets, but there is a great potential for these smaller, prefab sets to supplement the large sets and serve as cross promotional items for TV and Movie events.
Look for Green Lantern this May and Thor in July.
Updated dates.
