View Full Version : Armor Wars "rarity 5" Vetrans, the new Uniques?

I got my case of Armor Wars last night and took notes on the Uniques and rarity Vetran pieces from the set (Dazzler, Executioner, War Machine, Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man, Iron Man, Captain America and Ultron).

I have heard about how infrequently these pieces are actually being pulled (Vetran Iron Man being the #1, it seems) so here are the results from my full case:

Brick 1=

Uniques- 2

Sprue C Vets- 3



Brick 2=

Uniques- 3

Sprue C Vets- 1



Brick 3=

Uniques- 6

Sprue C Vets- 1



Brick 4=

Uniques- 5

Sprue C Vets- 1


TOTAL= 16 UNIQUES, 6 SPRUE C VETS


Overall, the Rarity 5 figures were far more rare then the Unique pieces, so this got me thinking on what exactly I thought would be a fair trade for one of these figures. Comparing them to the old distribution method for Uniques (average of 8 per case) they would actually seem to be rarer then the previous Uniques!

I honestly don't think that it would be unreasonable to request a decent Unique from a previous set, or even 2 Armor Wars Uniques for one of these Rarity 5 figures. In the case of highly playable figures such as Vet Iron Man and War Machine, the trade value could be even higher.

I'd like to hear everybody's opinion in this, especially if you make a bunch of trades, or maybe keep up on the current market for clix (ol' Dut, I'm looking your way :cool: ) and maybe have a better idea how the value has fluctuated. if at all.

Thanks!

The thing is the is

1) The first wave
2) The first week of the release of Armor wars

Look to see that many of the NONs and even the uniques will flood the market soon. Truthfully, the way wizkids makes it sound AW may end up being a very under valued set as it floods the market.

hmmmm


dont think i would trade any good unique (KC Superman, Nightcrawler, Ares, Thor, etc.) from past set for any of the Vet's you mentioned, but with the Uniques in AW being twice as easy to collect i could trading a Unique from AW for a V Iron Man or V War Machine, but not for V Dazzler of V Exexutioner....

And i wouldnt even trade V Superman from Icons for any of them, those cant stand up to that NON fgiure...

Give it a few weeks for most figures to get out in circulation and thier value will drop to a resonable price for buying and trading

What I'm getting at is that in all of my previous case buying, I would end up with an average of 12-16 of the Rarity 5 Vets and 8 Unique figures.

With this set, I ended up with 16 Uniques and 6 Rarity 5 Vets. It would also appear that many others are not pulling as many of these figs. I'm sure that due to the first week of the release or being the first Wave has nothing to do with it. At the Pre-Releases, those Vets were few and far between as well.

I think we will see a flood of Uniques, but once the dust settles you'll see which are the truly rare pieces of this set.


On a side note, according to my case there is something like 7,660 cases of Armor Wars produced. I don't know if that's high or low, just something to note.

I'm not talking about Ares-level Uniques, more like the mid-level uniques.

And given the frequency of the Uniques, I think that trading one for the upper Vets would be a poor trade for the person giving up the vet. This is only taking into account the rarity level, not playability.

But let's say that Colateral Damage has a very playable, highly sought after R5 Vet. Something that would be on par with a good Unique. Would you trade it straight-up for a more common unique?

Not only that, but uniques are worth slightly more than equal rarity figures because....they're unique. Some people will get another version of Iron Man and say "hey, that's good enough, I don't need the Vet". But if you don't have Black King, you don't have Black King at all.

A good topic, krusticlese!

I'll start with a couple quick questions:

Sorry, I'm running dense today. What's a "Sprue C" anything? As far as I know a sprue is either a hole in a mold, something case from the mold, or a tropical disease. ;) Lucy, 'splain please.

I was trying to approach the anticipated rarity levels just by the names, as I'm not seeing Rarity 4, Rarity 5 terms being referenced by Wizkids these days. Are you assigning these based on previous sets and their numerical placement in this set, or is there another listing I'm not seeing?

To anyone coming in from the outside it appears that as far as items in boosters are concerned we have commons, uncommons, and rares. Obviously, this is at the heart of your question, as we're trying to figure out if any of those in these same categories are produced in the same quantity. Are there the same number of Veteran Iron Man clix as there are Experienced Titanium Man as there are Shathras because they're all rares? It doesn't seem there would be, or else there'd be the same number of Exp and Vet Titanium Man, Iron Man, Cap. and Ultron -- but it obviously, quickly becomes confusing.

We'd expect that there'll be fewer of a given REV figure as one goes up in that chain, and one person recently told me that he thought the new production approach to protect us from so many duplicates was to keep it as a simple production rate of 3 rookies, 2 experienced and 1 vet, but it has to more complicated than that or else the common, uncommon and rare designations are meaningless. Obviously there are two factors at work, so that there are more E Captain Americas than there are vets.

I think what rock810 may have been getting at is that there may be broader imbalances temporarily caused during packing. A great many Iron Man clix, for instance, may have been packaged in a relative cluster - one package-production day where they made their way into more boosters. After all, we've seen with each set how along with regional shortages of a particular handful of clix there are some that for a stretch seem to be as rare as hen's teeth... and then some people start showing up who have pulled those particular ones so many times they start to wonder if Wizkids is making anything else.

We're still looking at just the beginning of the booster-bursting, and it's too soon to do more than be open to what the big picture will be.

It's important to have all these questions in mind, though, or else we're not even looking for the big picture.

My case is coming tomorrow, and I'll be sure to come around and let people know how I did.

My retail-bought brick was somewhat disappointing, with only 1 unique. I did compare it with a friend's, looking at it from the level of rares, though, and on that level there was a balance between us. He pulled 6 uniques and two rares from the lower ranks, making 8. I pulled 7 rares from the upper E & V ranks, and one unique, also making 8. I was trying to see if there was a hidden packing agenda in the bricks, something we were overlooking by just focusing on uniques, but some of the other bricks people have written up -- including one with 9 uniques and several E & V rares -- quickly blew that out of the water. Still, I'll be looking at my case that way, too.

For the moment, though, the evidence has me inclined to side with you on thinking that the upper level rares are going to be rarer than the uniques.

As for the relative production size of the set I'll have to wait until I can look at my cartons at home. (I've kept each of the cases, using them to store the extras for that set.) I did it once before, probably when we were gauging the relative size of Legacy, but I'm too lazy (and, despite the length of this, pressed for time) to try to search for that post now.

Here's the breakdown of the "sprues". Each REV is assigned a "rarity level" of 1-5. 1 is common, 5 is the rarest

Commons are slot #001-036:

Firebrand
Paladin
Loreli
Diamond Lil
Echo
Killer Shreik
Thunderbird
Banshee
Spymaster
Ghost
Magma
Marrina

All of the Rookies above are Level 1 rarity. All Experienced are Level 2 rarity. All Vets are level 3 rarity.

Uncommons are slot #037-060:

Thunderball
Aurora
Cannonball
Wendigo
Shaman
Quicksilver
Psylocke
Sunfire

All of the Rookies above are Level 2 rarity. All Experienced are Level 3 rarity. All Vets are level 4 rarity.

Rares are slot #061-084

Dazzler
Executioner
War Machine
Crimson Dynamo
Titanium Man
Iron Man
Captain America
Ultron

All of the Rookies above are Level 3 rarity. All Experienced are Level 4 rarity. All Vets are level 5 rarity.

Uniques have always been a level 6 rarity.

At the bottom of the scale, you have only rookie figures can possibily be a Level 1 rarity. At the top, only Vets can be a Level 5 rarity.

So while you may pull a Experienced Psylocke (LV 3 rarity) she is just as difficult to pull as a rookie War machine (LV 3 rarity) or a Vet Thunderbird (another LV 3 rarity)

So Level 1= only found on sprueA
Level 2= on sprue A and B
Level 3= on sprue A,B and C
Level 4= on sprue B and C
Level 5= on Sprue C

With this set, it seems rather then keeping the same ammount of LV 5 figures in a case, they removed some of those slots and filled them with the LV 6 Uniques.

If there are more of those slots taken by uniques then LV 5 figures, then the LV 5 figures are more rare then the LV6's are.

So out of 22 possible "rare slots" available in the boosters in a case, 16 were occupied by Uniques. Previously, if there were 22 rare slots, only 8 would have been occupied by uniques, still leaving you with 14 LV 5 rarity pieces.


That said, I'd really like to see people post how many of these "Sprue C" vets folks are pulling in their cases in comparison to the Uniques.

Miraclo, when you get your case, could you keep track and give us a report? How about anyone else? If you bought a case, how many Vetran rares (from the list above) did you pull?

sol
11/18/2005, 13:28
1 Vet Dazzler
1 Vet Executioner
2 Vet Titanium Man
1 Vet Crimson Dynamo
1 Vet Ultron


And this case was split, so i quickly got introduced to 11.99 Vet Cap and 12.00 Vet Iron Man on ebay.

Thanks for the refresher, K!

Back when I started there was a lot of talk about this, but since most of my time in the game I've ignored LEs, and finishing out a set of REVs and uniques wasn't generally too difficult, so I eventually let the knwoledge slide. The only brushes I had with rarity levels were on those occasions when an LE would fall into my hands and I might be curious to check the site to see if it was an LE-3, LE-4, etc.

These days we see that Wizkids is just using the three terms (common, uncommon and rare, which they assign in the figure gallery listings) which make it less than obvious as to the breakdown. Somewhere along the line in these sets I thought there had been some changes as to where the divisions within a set were regarding rarity.

Looking at their figure gallery listings, we can see that there's plainly the break you've outlined between Marrina's rookie ("common") and Thunderball's ("uncommon"), but there's no clue to show that things have changed between Sunfire and Dazzler, as each of their uniques are listed as "uncommon."

All in all, this gives me something more to look for as I pull through the case stats and my overall pull.

I'll post a general breakdown of my case either Saturday or Sunday, delivery time, etc. depending. I almost always (I didn't do it with my FF cases) make a booster-by-booster record of my cases anyway -- I just don't usually type it up and post it. ;)

Armor Wars: my case (I'm posting this in two or three threads where I promised the follow-up.)

All the thread-appropriate info (plus some) is below, but I haven't yet attacked the case with respect to looking at rarity level 5 vs level 6 clix because it's after 4pm and I just realized I haven't eaten anything yet today! Hey, I was busy!

I did pull the full 16 uniques, a complete set of 12 plus 4 different extras. This case was definitely one of those where had it been opened and sold by the brick there would have been one person bitterly disappointed, one happy, one somewhat disappointed and one exultant... with minor variations depending upon the person's favorites.

Brick 1: 0 uniques
Brick 2: 4 uniques Crystal, Mystique, Wolverine, Magneto
Brick 3: 2 uniques Black King, Mystique
Brick 4:10 uniques Shathra, Spider-woman, Spider-man (x2), Iron Monger, Wolverine, Magneto, Sentry, Iron Man, and Jocasta.

Here are the specifics of the case:

Firebrand R5 E3 V4
Paladin R4 E3 V2
Lorelei R5 E2 V2
Diamond Lil R2 E2 V2
Echo R2 E4 V1
Killer Shrike R3 E2 V1
Thunderbird R3 E1 V3
Banshee R7 E4 V1
Spymaster R5 E2 V2
Ghost R2 E4
Marrina R2 E2
Magma R4 E2 VC
Aurora R4 V2
Thunderball R1 E3 V1
Cannonball R3 E1 V2
Wendigo R1 E3 V2
Shaman R1 E2 V2
Quicksilver R2 E2 V2
Psylocke R3 E2 V1
Sunfire R2 E1 V3
Dazzler R2 E1 V1
Executioner R2 E1 V1
War Machine R2 E1 V1
Crimson Dynamo R2 E2
Titanium Man R2 V2
Iron Man R2 E1 V1
Captain America R1 V2
Ultron R2 E1 V1

Crystal, Shathra, Jocasta, Iron Man, Black King, Iron Monger, Sentry, Spider-Woman, Spider-man(x2), Mystique(x2), Wolverine(x2) & Magneto(x2)

Bystanders:
Wyatt Wingfoot 2
Pepper Potts 2
Doug Ramsey 2
Happy Hogan 2
HERBIE 2
Justin Hammer 2

BFC:
Armor Wars 2
Assembled 2
Inertial Interference Field 2
Isolation 2

Feats:
Alpha Flight 2
Armor Piercing 3
Extended Range 3
Homing Device 3
Life Model Decoy 2
Nanobots 3
Protected 3
Repulsor Shield 3
Saboteur 3
Shellhead 3

I'm very pleased with the case draw -- along with the retail-brought brick I'm only looking for three clix now, and the only high-end one is a vet Crimson Dynamo. (vet Ghost and exp. Aurora are the other two.) I have two or three guys I have first trade rights with, so we'll see how that works out.

They definitely need to take care of the imbalances at the brick level before Collateral Damage, though.

I opened up six bricks last night. I didn't pay attention to the rare pulls, but I got at least one of every rare except War Machine. Here are my ratios:

Brick 1: 3 Uniques.
Brick 2: 6 Uniques.
Brick 3: 1 Unique. (It was Magneto)
Brick 4: 6 Uniques.
Brick 5: 6 Uniques.
Brick 6: 3 Unqiues.

The last two bricks are a friend of mine. He won't be opening them until he returns tomorrow from a convention. I still don't mind the way the set has broken down. I knew from the announcement of the new unique distribution that rares would become harder to pull.

I was browsing the trade threads and was shocked everyone needed exactly the same stuff I did.

V TitanMan, V WarMac, even V Executioner are hard to come by. It seems Hardly anyone's even seen them.It's sad that I'll trade my U Shathra just to get a V Thunderball and V wendigo :(

or I would but no one's even made that offer :)

HEAR ME WK, Collateral damage better have more rare vets! I need more JSA!!!

In the case of highly playable figures such as Vet Iron Man and War Machine, the trade value could be even higher.


ok that was an original post.... the only thing i have to say is that Vet Iron Man is totally not playable for his point value, especially in comparison to Vet War Machine. Vet Iron Man is just way too many points and for almost the same amount of points, you could play Defenders Silver Surfer... Get what im saying?

Brick 1=
Uniques- 2
Sprue C Vets- 3


Brick 2=

Brick 3=

I honestly don't think that it would be unreasonable to request a decent Unique from a previous set, or even 2 Armor Wars Uniques for one of these Rarity 5 figures. In the case of highly playable figures such as Vet Iron Man and War Machine, the trade value could be even higher.

[ I think that the Exp Iron Man is MORE playable than the Vet, and that the Exp Ultron is MORE playable than the Vet, so THESE 2 Figures are worth 3 Armor Wars Uniques!!! ]

The Cases should be 12 Uniques and (4 more Rares) 36 Rares.

(not 16 Uniques and 32 Rares)

The thing is the is
1) The first wave
2) The first week of the release of Armor wars


I thought somebody from WizKids said in a post that there would be no difference in waves, (or just one wave).

They said it when talking about Bricks of 16 for the Pre-release,
and mentioned that there would be no changes for Armor Wars.

(missing Damages, ie. Crimson Dynamo)

Triskit
11/22/2005, 17:56
but with the Uniques in AW being twice as easy to collect i could trading a Unique from AW for a V Iron Man or V War Machine, but not for V Dazzler of V Exexutioner....

[ Vet Dazzler is more playable than V Iron Man ]


And i wouldnt even trade V Superman from Icons for any of them, those cant stand up to that NON fgiure...

[ What if you had 3 Vet Superman and 0 Vet War Machine ]


Give it a few weeks for most figures to get out in circulation and thier value will drop to a resonable price for buying and trading

What he's saying is that V5s are more rare than U6s.

So the price won't drop.

11/22/2005, 17:58
I believe that out of our case, we pulled Vets of all of these, except for Titanium Man and we got doubles of Crimson Dynamo.

Dazzler*
Executioner~
War Machine~
Crimson Dynamo*~
Titanium Man
Iron Man*
Captain America~
Ultron*

* are the ones that I got
~ are the ones that my friend got

This should be accurate, but since it was last week and we were both trading like crazy that night, I'm not 100% certain.

On a side note, according to my case there is something like 7,660 cases of Armor Wars produced. I don't know if that's high or low, just something to note.

What's a "Sprue C" anything?

[ WizKids uses different molds. A mold holds a set of figures. The set never changes. ]


I was trying to approach the anticipated rarity levels just by the names, as I'm not seeing Rarity 4, Rarity 5 terms being referenced by Wizkids these days.

[ Common Rookies are R1, Uncommon Experienced are E2, and Rare Vets are V5 ]


Are there the same number of Veteran Iron Man clix as there are Experienced Titanium Man as there are Shathras because they're all rares?

[ No ]


We'd expect that there'll be fewer of a given REV figure as one goes up in that chain, and one person recently told me that he thought the new production approach to protect us from so many duplicates was to keep it as a simple production rate of 3 rookies, 2 experienced and 1 vet,

[ Oh god, I hope the ratio isn't 1 - 2 - 3, I hope the ratio is more like 8 - 7 - 6. Anything less and it's bad for buyers. ]



I think what rock810 may have been getting at is that there may be broader imbalances temporarily caused during packing. A great many Iron Man clix, for instance, may have been packaged in a relative cluster - one package-production day where they made their way into more boosters. After all, we've seen with each set how along with regional shortages of a particular handful of clix there are some that for a stretch seem to be as rare as hen's teeth... and then some people start showing up who have pulled those particular ones so many times they start to wonder if Wizkids is making anything else.

It's important to have all these questions in mind, though, or else we're not even looking for the big picture.

[ Actually I have seen, heard, and read about dozens and dozens of Cases being opened, and the Theory holds true. ]



My case is coming tomorrow, and I'll be sure to come around and let people know how I did.

[ Can you keep track of all the Rares? The Rookies, Exps, and Vets. ]


My retail-bought brick was somewhat disappointing, with only 1 unique. I did compare it with a friend's, looking at it from the level of rares, though, and on that level there was a balance between us.

[ He talking mostly about Rare Vets, can you rember how many of them you got? Your friend? ]


As for the relative production size of the set I'll have to wait until I can look at my cartons at home. (I've kept each of the cases, using them to store the extras for that set.) I did it once before, probably when we were gauging the relative size of Legacy,

[ Can you look at your Cases and tell us how many Cases of each Set were produced? Thanks ]



I think that the bottom 8 are Commons,
the middle 12 are Uncommons,
and the top 8 are Rares.

Commons are slot #001-024:

Rares are slot #061-084

Dazzler

War Machine

[ I think it goes 8 - 12 - 8 ]



So Level 1= only found on sprueA
Level 2= on sprue A and B
Level 3= on sprue A,B and C
Level 4= on sprue B and C
Level 5= on Sprue C

[ Are you sure there is only 3 Molds? ]

So out of 22 possible "rare slots" available in the boosters in a case, 16 were occupied by Uniques. Previously, if there were 22 rare slots, only 8 would have been occupied by uniques, still leaving you with 14 LV 5 rarity pieces.

[ (virtually) Every single Booster contains either a Rare or a Unique, so there is 48 "Rare Slots" as you call them. ]

[ 48 "Rare Slots" minus 16 Uniques is 32 "Rare Slots" left over for R3s, E4s, and V5s. So there will be less than 10 V5s in a Case. ]



That said, I'd really like to see people post how many of these "Sprue C" vets folks are pulling in their cases in comparison to the Uniques.

Miraclo, when you get your case, could you keep track and give us a report? How about anyone else? If you bought a case, how many Vetran rares (from the list above) did you pull?


Yes, can more people post their Case Results?

Thanks.

Could you keep track of whether or not there is a Unique or Rare in every Booster?


A Rare is the highest numbered 8 that is not a Unique.
ie. Dazzler, Executioner, Crimson Dynamo. War Machine, Titanium Man, Iron Man, Ultron, Capt America.


That is why a person can get a Booster with ALL Rookies.
(it contains a Rookie Rare - one of the 8)

[ Dude, it sounds like you got the Bestest brick Ever! ]
:)
[ You are only missing V5 of Crimson Dynamo! ]

They definitely need to take care of the imbalances at the brick level before Collateral Damage, though.

[ You can say that again! ]




So, your Case:

16 Uniques

9 V5s

7 E4s

15 R3s (yuck, that blows)


31 Rares and 16 Uniques.

Did you get a Rare
(DazzlerExecutionerWar MachineCrimson DynamoTitanium ManIron ManCaptainAmericaUltron)
or Unique in (virtually) every Booster?

Looks that way.

Triskit,

There are in fact 4 molds. The 4th being all of the Uniques, or "Sprue D".
