Philadelphia/South Jersey

[azathoth]

**Last update to venue info 6/20/08** Venue description added.
Hey all,
I was browsing the forums today and thought that it might be a good idea for Southern New Jersey heroclix players and Philadelphia area players to have a spot on here to discuss meeting up for games, trades, places to play in a tournament, who has the best cheesesteaks, the plight of the Phillies, and any other local topics. Let's get this thing started and hope it takes off!

I know some times it can be hard for folks to find a fun game outside of the regularly scheduled tournaments so maybe we can arrange a bit of a community of local players here.

So, just to start conversation, I'll start it off.....who does have the best cheesesteaks? I'm a Jim's guy myself.

The Phillies? More like the Sillies.. They're so bad, I'm beginining to wonder if the "Infinity Challenge" version of the Leader is the team coach, and some of their players include the "Critical Mass" version of Rhino, the Unique Batgirl from "Cosmic Justice", and oh yeah, Tiger Lily from the "Indy" set -- 'cause if you can't shoot with two guns in hand, your baseball skills are probaby just as ####-tastic. Hoo-haa..! :eek:

-- D!

[azathoth]

Man....somebody's got no love for the Phightin' Phils.....just cause they're the losingest franchise in the history of all of professional sports doesn't mean you need to compare them to Tiger Lily! Ouch! Now Black Manta.....maybe.....

[insight]

Phillies=heartbreak

Eagles...can't wait for them to quiet the critics. Last in the division this year? What? Man one tough season and all the respect...vanishes.

Best cheesesteak- Steve's Prince of Steaks NE Philly. Do yourself a favor.

Philly is a loooong way away for me, but home is home.

I head there a couple times a year, next time I do, I'm looking you dudes up, so we can throw down.

[azathoth]

Sounds like a plan Insight! Next time you are in town I'm game. I couldn't agree more about the birds. All the critics will be shocked and quieted once this season rolls around. People have always looked to trash talk the Eagles even when they were at the top of their game and nobody in the national media gives McNabb the respect he deserves. Reggie Brown is going to have a big year, thats my prediction. Thanks for joining us from all the way out in LA.

You know what though. Its great being the spoiler!

Good luck building up the community. I'll keep an eye out and drop by every now and again to see whats up.

You know what? I like your style.. I'll up the ante.. Next time you're out this way, me, you, and Azathoth there will get together for some clix, some drinks, and a whole lotta whup @$$!! Yeah man, always enjoy fun for one and all. :)

BTW - Steve's and Jim's are okay, but there's one better with not just great food, but quality time, you know? Down in Olde City: Nick's. Forget the cheesesteak.. You go there, get yourself one of his famous roast beef (so lean it'll melt in yer mouth) topped with some fresh spinach sauteed in garlic and olive oil and a fresh thick slice of sharp provolone. AND, if you're really sporting a hearty appetite, tack on a basket of crab fries (fries with Old Bay seasoning). Booyaaa!!! Definitely worth the trip!

They're so bad, I'm beginining to wonder if the "Infinity Challenge" version of the Leader is the team coach, ...

-- D!
isn't the Leader from Xplosion :)

but anyhow i will take Gaetanos Steaks anyday

[azathoth]

Thanks Tote for updating us on All Things Fun! which is THE place to play clix in the area if you want some good competition! Lots of local players turn out all the time and the Judges are awesome folks. And youre right about the Leader, but I'm still a Jim's guy (mmmm cheezewhiz on my Amoroso's roll)

[azathoth]

Played at Stormwatch Comics in Berlin last night. Another fun place to play and nice because they have games on Monday nights (5:30-6:00ish) so you can head over right after quittin' time. The space is a litte cramped as there is ALOT of memorabiliia, back issues, and game product in the store. It is cozy however and everybody is friendly. Stormwatch has a real laid back atmosphere and Bob (the judge and manager) is a very nice guy. If you guys get a chance you should get them out some Monday night. Any other places in the area you guys have played in Jersey or Philly/its suburbs? How about a little write up for those of us looking to venture out?

[KitsuShel]

Kinda funny, but I've lived in Philly all of my life and I've never been to Pats or Genos, though I pass there every now & then when I go to CZW shows. I've had Jim's once and wasn't that thrilled.

Ugh youre killin me Kitsu! Did ya get it with Whiz, Onions, Hot Peppers and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda??? Anyway...I guess the appeal of Jim's is kind of a nostalgia thing for me. Growing up I hung out on South Street ALOT and ate a Jim's quite frequently (there and Lorenzo's Pizza....Don't dare try to order toppings on your slice!) so Jim's has a special place in my heart. I just love to go in there, smell the steak and onions cooking, get yelled at by the guy behind the counter and stare at all the signed photos of old celebs who have eaten there who most of them aren't doing much these days (I think they have a signed press photo from Bel Biv Devoe. Maybe a Jim's steak is the kiss of death if youre in the biz.)

Care to tell us a bit about where you play in the area KitsuShel? My idea for part of this forum is to be reviews/updates about the places in the local tournament scene. Wanna help us out? Thanks for joining us!

[Starman2003]

Okay, just thought I'd give a shout out this morning for my current 'Clix "stomping ground": Atomic City Comics, down on South St. in Philly.. Fridays and Sundays are the best days to come down for gaming, as Saturdays are just too busy.. A fun shop with great specials on HeroClix singles, boosters, and uniques, as well as some of the friendliest, knowledgeable comic folk around. Oh yeah, and then there's me..:laugh:

Seriously, tho', Friday nights and Sundays are when I play. Usually 300-400 pt teams, but of late, Rob and I have begun to start experimenting with some 500-pt action. WOOT! So, if you want fun with your 'Clix and you're going to be down there, let me know, as I am all for new faces to come to the table.. :cool:

Okay, you can go back to your Jim's Steaks discussion now.. hehehe..

Part of my problem is that I don't like onions or hot peppers. My boyfriend constantly pokes fun at me because Italians are supposed to like those. :cheeky: Lorenzos is definitely the bomb, though!

I've been trying to get down to South Street tp play with StarMan, but my timing is off.

I usually play at Comics & More at the PLymouth Meeting Mall in Montgomery County. AZS is usually the judge there. They have open gaming Wednesdays and another day (I forget) and tournaments every Monday at 6.30. It usually pulls a nice size group.

I've played twice at one of Krusticlese's venues in King of Prussia, though its a bit hard to get to if you don't drive (like me), but it is really laid back and fun with only a few people.

[BudPalmer]

I live in the Philly area and I'm not the biggest fan of cheese steaks. Count me among those who can't stand Jim's. There's one down the street from me in Springfield, PA that I'll never go to. They use cheap meat and I think the wiz is gross.


Now a chicken cheese steak I have a tough time turning down. But I get them from the local places or just make em myself.

[flashpan]

Hey everyone

I live in Philly (a few blocks from the art museum), and am always down for playing. Myself and two friends just started playing a few weeks ago and we're going to start going to tournaments. All Things Fun in SJ seems like it'll be good.

I didn't know the South Street comic store held events... in fact, I was in there the other day buying some boosters (they have a pretty good sale going... 4 packs of anything they have except for Sinister and CD for $20), and I was asking them if they knew of any places I could play and they didn't seem to know. It sucks because up until a couple years ago, their store was double the size, with an entire room dedicated to gaming.... oh well.

And also.... the choice is clear.... PAT'S.

[azathoth]

From my understanding the store on South Street doesn't host events but just open play....is that correct Starman?

[Toteman]

All Things Fun in SJ seems like it'll be good.

We have a blast at All Things Fun! You guys should feel free to come out we run games every Friday Night @ 6:30pm and on Sundays @ 3pm. Prizes are awarded for both events! You can check out our scenarios online at www.allthingsfun.net under the HeroClix Headquaters section on the lefthand side of the homepage. We've got a great crowd and an amazing selection of boosters and singles.

And don't forget our Clix-A-Palooza, Saturday, August 12!

[Starman2003]

From my understanding the store on South Street doesn't host events but just open play....is that correct Starman?

Yup, that's right. At this point, it's just open play, and really, that works out just fun.. But, just because we're playing for fun doesn't mena there isn't a challenge to be had. :) Seriously, if anyone local wants to meet me there on a Friday or a Sunday, just shoot me a msg, give me 24 hrs notice, and I am there. WOOT!!

[Toteman]

what about a saturday afternoon?

[Starman2003]

what about a saturday afternoon?

Unfortunately, Saturdays are out. We tried it out, but it's the one day that is the busiest (next to Wednesday, when books come out). The only way it could be done is if I were to call over that particular Sat, and ask what the crowd is like. But, generally, it's either Friday night or all day Sunday..

[Toteman]

yeah but i run run events at All Things Fun! on both those days. Saturdays work best for me to play elsewhere

[azathoth]

yeah but i run run events at All Things Fun! on both those days. Saturdays work best for me to play elsewhere

Well...I'm sure there's gotta be a place that has games on Saturdays....anybody know of any?

[azathoth]

Well...I'm sure there's gotta be a place that has games on Saturdays....anybody know of any?

...And the sound of chirping crickets was heard... Maybe some players would like to get together on Saturdays for fun games and meet Tote somewhere (like All Things Fun). But I'm sure you can figure it out Tote you're a smart guy. :cool:

[AZS]

Well...I'm sure there's gotta be a place that has games on Saturdays....anybody know of any?Saturdays used to be a barren wasteland for clix games, but that changed recently.
The Complete Strategist in King of Prussia runs tournaments on alternate Saturdays (I think the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month.)

There's always a constructed game that starts at 12:30 followed by a Battle Royale when the first game ends (typically 3:30 - 4). Krusticlese runs the events there and usually comes up with some fun scenarios/build limits. Like last Saturday's game was 400 points, only figs with zero range.

[BudPalmer]

I run tourneys on Tuesday nights at Alternate Universe in Folsom PA. Attendence is sporatic. I'd like to think I come up with some fun games.

[azathoth]

Thanks Azs and Bud for the updates on the Philly area scene. Seems there are plenty options on quite a few nights. I'll try to compile a list soon on this thread of Venues and typical event days/nights that are posted by you guys.

[BudPalmer]

Saturday I play in games at Comic Universe in Folsom (bout a mile up from Alternate Universe). They start at one. There's two tourneys this Saturday.

Have you used/thought of a scenario called "Folsom Prison Blues" with the Sinister map?

[BudPalmer]

Well, to start, everyone you used would have to be wearing black (or have Black in their name).

And that's all I have to add to that.

(Would you believe I never placed the town I play in with that Cash song, man I suck?)

PS I'm totally stealing that!! :p

Send me a message if you have any questions. Hope to see some of you there. :cool:

I wish I had been there to meet "Satrman2003". Instead, that insufferable curmudgeon "SARSman2003" came, bringing his diseased clix with him. Grrr... :ermm:

Seriously, tho', I was there, and it was a blast. Mike brings with him some great players who are there to not just play the game well, but to have fun and because they actually care about the characters (as opposed to just caring about if said character can crush the bejeezus out of you). Great people, fun times -- what more do you need? C'mon out -- heck, if you ask nice, maybe I will even gives ya an autograph.. heheh..

[krusticlese]

Thanks Azs for the Compleat Stratigist plug! Saturdays seem to be a far better day for turnout.


Also, I run events at Showcase Comics (rt 30, Bryn Mawr, PA) Fridays @ 6:00 PM. We get a croud of between 8-12 depending on the time of year.


In addition, a friend of mine runs games on Sundays at The Roundtable Games and Stuff in Conshohocken, PA @ 1:00 PM.

[AZS]

azathoth, as everyone posts when and were they run (or play) games, could you update your original first post of the thread with a list of venues and regular times for everyones' quick reference?

[The Darkstone]

Anyone here in the New Brunswick area?

Or is that too North Jersey for this group?

[vampricyoda]

Hello.

I was asked to put a link to this (A Heroclix Yahoo Group for Tournemtns in New Jersey) on this thread. I myself and more North Jersey, but I'd liek this group to be all of Jersey as a whole so if anyone wants to join feel free.

[stevebo0124]

All this time I been on Wizkids looking for Philly people and you were over here on this site. Anyway...

The best steak is at Pat's in South Philly. Go there and order a "heart attack" ("wit" or "witout" is your choice) you'll thank me.

The Complete Strategist, King of PrussiaIs this right near the mall. Any information will help since I have to get there by bus.

Also if anyone wants to start some kind of Clix group in South Philly let me know. I really hate only playing this game once a year at WWE.

[azathoth]

azathoth, as everyone posts when and were they run (or play) games, could you update your original first post of the thread with a list of venues and regular times for everyones' quick reference?

Good idea Azs, I will update that post tomorrow. (Right now I'm at school and won't get home till 10:30ish). That will make it much easier for folks to find the list instead of searching for it buried in this thread.

To the new folks welcome aboard! Glad you found us. Stevebo sorry you've had such an awful experience at Atomic City (some folks do play and have a good time there there albeit not in tournaments). Not every venue is going to appeal to everyone, but if you want to find out about other places or want to try to get together with other folks for fun games thats one of the purposes of this thread. If you are in South Philly, you might not be too far from the Speedline and you might be able to hitch a ride to some Jersey venues if you are so inclined.

[stevebo0124]

If you are in South Philly, you might not be too far from the Speedline and you might be able to hitch a ride to some Jersey venues if you are so inclined.I'm not far from the speed line at all. All I need is exact directions on where to walk after I get off the train and I'm good. Oh yeah, and which stop to get off at would also help...lol

[Starman2003]

Are you serious!? I'm sorry but this place is garbage. Even if they are having games (which I seriously doubt) it isn't even worth going. Trust me, save yourself the trip.Is this right near the mall. Any information will help since I have to get there by bus.

Also if anyone wants to start some kind of Clix group in South Philly let me know. I really hate only playing this game once a year at WWE.

I know from Steve from back when I was a Judge there a few years back, and I have to say I have no idea why he's being so negative in regards to Atomic City. Knowledgeable staff who really care about their customers - whether it be comics or 'Clix.

Yes, the tournaments there have gone the way over of the dinosaur, as interest began to waver right around the release of "Ultimates". But, you can still play there for fun (c'mon, what better place to play HeroClix in than a comic shop on South St??), and if interest begans to renew, there's the possibility of the return of tournaments.

So, all I can say is judge for yourselves. And, hey, if you're there, tell 'em Dominick sent ya.

Cheers..

-- D!

[stevebo0124]

So, all I can say is judge for yourselves.I guess I could agree. Dom's a good guy. Him and I had some pretty good battles. If anyone can make that place fun it's him.

[Azrael0626]

That sounds pretty beat that someone would treat you like that. I don't blame you for not going back. If you are loking for a place to play then stop by Hall of Heroes one Saturday. We have a great group of players that are there for fun and the store manager, Bill is a very cool guy who is always happy to have new people come out to play regardless of how much you spend. Dom can tell you. He has been there a few times and should be there Saturday for our Transporter tourney.

[stevebo0124]

I'll go just about anywhere if you'll be willing to give me directions on how to get there by bus.

[Azrael0626]

I'm not quite sure on directions, but whatever bus will drop you at the Echelon Mall in Voorheese will do it.

Just a quick note to tell everybody that all of the local venue info has been added to the first post so that it is more accessible.

C'mon ladies and gents of the greater Philly area, how bout some Eagles predictions for this weekend! I say:
Eagles 34
Texans 13
Donte Stallworth and Brain Westbrook have a huge game!

[Starman2003]

I'm not quite sure on directions, but whatever bus will drop you at the Echelon Mall in Voorheese will do it.

Steve -

You can take the Hi-Speedline from Phila to Jersey (get off at Lindenwold stop). From there, you can catch the #403 or #459 bus to the Echelon Mall. Both run on Saturday. Hope that helps..

[Toteman]

I'll go just about anywhere if you'll be willing to give me directions on how to get there by bus.

Like Dom said the speed-line to Lindenwold then you can get a cab, or ask Azathoth for a ride :), to West Berlin on Rte 73 All Things Fun! Sundays at 3pm and Friday at 6:30pm. We have a huge group of friendly folks and we have a lot of different players. Fridays have different players then Sunday. Dom and Azathoth have both been there.

[Toteman]

[AZS]

Thanks for the info AZS. I updated the first post to include this venue. Has anyone been to any good local tournaments recently and could do a review? Also what's the story on local pre-releases...(I'm looking at you Toteman).

[Starman2003]

I need help, gang, so if anyone can help, it'd be appreciated..

I'm trying to get out to the tourney on Sunday @ All Things Fun. I don't drive, but am not far from the Haddonfield PATCO. Does anyone going live close enough to any of the PATCO stations? If so, could I possibly catch a ride with you? I'd really like to go but don't know of any other way at there. PM me if you can. Thanks.. :)

[GreenLantern73]

Reading through page 1 of this thread & I remember playing in a tourney once @ Comics Plus in Mount Holly, NJ on a Saturday afternoon/evening in the summer of 2004.

Does anyone know if this place is still running games?

[GreenLantern73]

http://www.wizkidsgames.com/userdetail.asp?userid=13338

I believe that this is the same store as Comics Plus but I have to check the business card that I have to make sure this is the same place.

[GL4Life]

Anyone in here going to the All THings Fun! prerelease next weekend? I wanted to go to the NGN tonight but I can;t find anyone to go. both my interested parties can;t make it tonight.

[azathoth]

http://www.wizkidsgames.com/userdetail.asp?userid=13338

I believe that this is the same store as Comics Plus but I have to check the business card that I have to make sure this is the same place.

Looks like they changed their name to Ron's Comic World and they seem to be running events on Saturdays at 10:30. I'll put them on the front page to update the list. Thanks GL73!

On another note of "local" interest...I got a chance to go to the Eastern State Penitentiary Terror Behind The Walls haunted event the other night with some kids from my work. Awesome fun and very well set up. I highly recommend it. One girl got scared enough to start crying and grabbing onto my co-worker but as soon as we were done said that it was cool and she wanted to go again. Fun times!;)

Also...the new issue of Weird NJ is out (and volume 2 of the book)! There's some great local stories in the new book and mag.

[GreenLantern73]

I just have to search if that Envoy is the same guy that ran Events when I played there because if it is, I have a caveat emptor for you. When I played there one time in 2004, the Envoy had the habit of trading for the LE's that he had just handed out as prizes. He seemed to expect that the prizes would be traded to him but I declined to trade away my Hellcat LE. I know this may not happen with Sinister because the Envoys get an LE with the tourney prize packs & it's not against the rules but I wanted to make you aware of this.

Thanks again for the heads up. Maybe there is some way I can implement a venue review system on here? People could possibly post reviews, experiences, red flags, praise about venues? Any thoughts?

[stevebo0124]

Would anyone be interested in starting/joining some kind of Heroclix group in South Philly?

[KitsuShel]

I'll be up for extended travel come springtime. I don't drive and Shelly no like cold!

[azathoth]

Would anyone be interested in starting/joining some kind of Heroclix group in South Philly?
I'd be interested. I'm always up for a game as long as I can attend occasionally. I barely have time to play as it stands now because of my doctoral program, but keep me posted steve!

[Azrael0626]

Just an update to anyone interested. We have temporaily moved from the Echelon Mall Hall of Heroes to the Cherry Hill Mall Hall of Heroes while work is being done on the Echelon store. This may be a closer location for some people or not, but I figured I would throw it out there. We still run Saturdays at Noon. Events will still be listed under the Voorheese (Echelon) location for those who want to sign up to play. Come check it out.

And on another note. What is going on with the Eagles? Mounting a comeback in the 4th quarter is obviously not the way to go.

[stevebo0124]

We have temporaily moved from the Echelon Mall Hall of Heroes to the Cherry Hill Mall Hall of Heroes while work is being done on the Echelon store.Are you serious!? :laugh: I once took a bus there from Center City (Philly). I may have to check this out. How long will this be for?

[Azrael0626]

Are you serious!? :laugh: I once took a bus there from Center City (Philly). I may have to check this out. How long will this be for?

It will be until the store in Echelon is moved upsatirs to the bigger location which may take a couple of months because the space is not ready yet.

[azathoth]

And on another note. What is going on with the Eagles? Mounting a comeback in the 4th quarter is obviously not the way to go.

UGH!!! I can't watch anymore. That game was a trainwreck, the week before was a trainwreck. Too many mental mistakes, dropped passes. Thank god for the bye week.

[Azrael0626]

UGH!!! I can't watch anymore. That game was a trainwreck, the week before was a trainwreck. Too many mental mistakes, dropped passes. Thank god for the bye week.

The sad part is that this team should have won every game they have played so far. They need to wake up. Starting a game in the 4th quarter is not going to cut it. Neither is Andy Reid's way of getting a lead and sitting on it. This team has the capability of being one of the best in the NFL, but you wouldn't know it by the way they play.

[azathoth]

I heard that Atomic City has not been hosting games for awhile now. Is this true? Anyone have an update on this? If they aren't hosting games, I will update the list.

[stevebo0124]

I heard that Atomic City has not been hosting games for awhile now. Is this true? Anyone have an update on this? If they aren't hosting games, I will update the list.Even if they are having games (which I seriously doubt).Told you... They told me in April that they would be having games every week during the summer. Know what I heard after that? Nothing...
Listen, we all know I hate this place. I'm not going to say any more bad stuff about it. But as far as playing games there they don't have the space anymore (for more than 4 people) and the owner doesn't like people playing there. And besides the owner I have no problem with anyone there.
Anyway, anyone ever hear anything about Fat Jack's?

[KitsuShel]

I would be down for Fat Jack's. Thats only a bus or two ride from me.

[stevebo0124]

I would be down for Fat Jack's. Thats only a bus or two ride from me.Same here. But they don't have anything going on yet. I heard a while ago on Wizkids that they were thinking of starting up. I believe the only problem they had was space. Basically they didn't know where they were going to have it. They have enough space, all they need to do is put pieces of plywood over the comic section and they become tables...
Anyway, long story short, that's the last I heard of it. I was hoping that someone would of asked about it by now? Anyone have a card for the place, I want their E-mail address if they have one?

[Starman2003]

I am a regular there, and I will present the story, as I was the Judge there until I let my title lapse..

Yes, the store has been halved, as the lease on the other side ran out and the owner sold it to some lame "hip-hop" clothing store (or some other "urban" accessory shop.. Like we need more of them).

I *know* the current manager there, Daryl.. and I *have* spoken with him about running games.. Yes, the space is limited, but we could do it on Sundays, as that is the least crowded day. All we need is interested players. If there is enough interest in this venture, I will work to try and get my Judge title reinstated. But, it can only happen if you speak out.

I like Fat Jack's (not as much as Atomic City, but I still like it), but, truthfully, their store is far small than that of Atomic City. The manager, Eric, has told me before that there is not enough room or desire to do HC games there.

Look, let me just conclude this, as I need to go to work.. Real quick.. If you are interested in the tournaments and regular games at Atomic City Comics (which is a very friendly place, contrary to what Stevebo is trying to say), then leave me a msg. Also, if you have any questions about the store, as to what it's really like, leave me a msg.

Cheers..

[stevebo0124]

EDIT: Guess what I had here should of been in a PM...

[azathoth]

Ok...whatever that was.... I took Atomic City off the list temporarily until the point that things get started up there again. If anyone has any other updates lmk. Keep me/this thread posted on any Fat Jack's news as well so that I can keep this list as up to date as possible.

[Azrael0626]

Just a reminder to everyone that the Hall of Heroes Supernova Marquee is coming up on November 18th at Noon at our Cherry Hill location. Come out and test your skills while having a good time and meeting new people. Looking forward to seeing new and old players.
Dr. Donald Blake (THOR) and King Hyperion (HYPERION) as prizes which are both awesome pieces. Tough choice for the winner.:cool:

[GreenLantern73]

Actually, Hyperion is the Champion LE & Thor is the Fellowship LE per WK. No decision needed.

[GreenLantern73]

cjb555cjb is looking for players in the Pennsauken area per a thread on the HC forums on WK's site.

[azathoth]

cjb555cjb is looking for players in the Pennsauken area per a thread on the HC forums on WK's site.

I sent him an email as an invite to our thread. Thanks again GL73! Anyone going to the Marquee at All Things Fun!? I have my comprehensive exam on Saturday, but I am planning on it. It is on Sunday and I'm certainly going to need to play clix to de-stress after that mess is done with.

[azathoth]

Hey all.
Just wanted to say that I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day. I got a chance to travel up to Maine with my girlfriend for the week and had an awesome time! (I even bought her nephew the Icons Starter as a gift to try and get him into clix!) And I also passed my exam which means I can officially start my dissertation!!!

The ATF marquee was fun. I won with a V Kang team. The best part was taking out V Hyperion in 3 turns :).

How did everyone else fair at local marquees? How was your holiday?

[GreenLantern73]

If you ever need help looking for Venues in Maine on your next trip up that way, let me know. I've got a listing of Venues & email addresses for New England Venues.

[azathoth]

I want to extend a quick Happy Holidays to everyone. Here's to a happy new year. May you all pull zombies on Hanukkah and/or Christmas day.

[stevebo0124]

Is there anywhere to play this Saturday. I'm getting a nice check this Friday and it would be nice to finally buy some clix again. Anyone know of a good place. They still playing at Cherry Hill mall?

[Azrael0626]

We don't have anything going on this Saturday, but next Saturday is a double headder with two battle royales starting at 11:00 a.m. at Cherry Hill mall.

Happy Holidays everyone. :cool:

I have just received word that we are in fact going to have the DC Origins Pre-Release. This is great news, and the fact that WizKids told us about it almost a month and a half before the event is great. We can promote the Pre-Release even more then before. Congrats to all the other winners. I will post more info as it comes to us.

www.allthingsfun.net

ps Azathoth it is DC and you have over a month to get ready you know you want to come on down.

[azathoth]

We are attempting to break the record with this event, 35+ players.
So bring all your friends and get a cool Wonder Woman LE.

Registered HeroClix players bring a friend, the new guy (or girl!), into their favorite HeroClix Approved Play venue and teach him or her to play HeroClix. Both players get an amazing collector’s edition figure free. In February, it’s Wonder Woman!

[KitsuShel]

Well, it looks like 'All things Fun' is the closest Pre-Release to me.

Can someone reiterate how you can get there by public transit, in case I can go? I have neither car nor knowledge of how to drive one. :laugh:

I live in Philly, btw.

Unfortunately, Shel, there is no way to get there by public transit -- I checked. The nearest bus stop is a quarter of a mile down the road, I believe. Your best bet is, if you know anyone in South Jersey, take the hi-speedline to Lindenwold, meet-up there, and ride to All Things Fun from there. It's the easiest route.

Don't feel bad - I am in the same boat. As I've told you, I don't drive either. I am supposed to go with one of the players i game with at my venue, but I will have to confirm that with him this weekend. Then, I have to figure out how I'm getting over there to give in my registration fee! :( UGH!

Ugh, its extremely disappointing. Our venue up here had the Sinister and SuperNova ones, but it figures they'd screw it up for the DC set I am so eagerly waiting.

I'm teetering on the edge of just not caring about the game anymore. The closest venue is about and hour & a half away by buses and then its at night, so its a chore to get someone to watch my son until 11PM when I can get back to my area to pick him up.

[Starman2003]

Well, it's like I said before, if you can get enough people to say something to the guys at Atomic City Comics, down on South St., they will start the games up, but it has to be more than just you and me.

Are you there every Saturday, even if there are 5 Saturdays? What kind of prizes do you give out? I have heard some people say they win and have not received their prizes that day. Do you mail them or something? It is a long drive for me and I want to be sure to get my prize, if I am lucky enough to win. I haven't played in a tournament yet, but with New Guy Night coming up I thought I might try to get out. I am pretty good against my friends. There aren't many venues that play in Southern New Jersey. Thanks and LMK

I haven't played in a tournament yet, but with New Guy Night coming up I thought I might try to get out. I am pretty good against my friends. There aren't many venues that play in Southern New Jersey. Thanks and LMK

As long as there are enough events to run for that month we will have a tournament that Saturday. If Wizkids has 5 tournaments avaliable to sign up for in a month that has 5 Saturdays, then yes we will run 5. You can find our event information here: http://www.wizkidsgames.com/userdetail.asp?userid=12759
We start a noon pretty much every Saturday, but check just in case. And yes, we do have prizes. Every week for those who win 1st place and fellowship. Stop by even if you want to just hang out and watch instead of playing and talk comics and clix that is cool with us. It is a friendly atmosphere and we welcome new players. Stop by tomorrow for the 400 point all villians or all heroes tournament or even next week for New Guy Night. Message me if you have any questions. :cool:

We run every Sunday, except Easter/Christmas/New Years Day. We have events even when WizKids doesn't send out the prizes. We always give out Limited Edition Figures, we give out the 2 from WizKids and more depending on the crowd. In the summer we run twice a week, Friday and Sunday. you can check www.allthingsfun.net for more info. Our NGN is on Friday 2/23/07. We get an average of 8-10 during the winter and 16+ in the summer. stop by for some friendly combat, I know its an oxymoron.

Thanks for coming out to All Things Fun! Dc Origins New Guy Night. Sorry I wasn't there to meet you. Hopefully you will continue to play at the store.

Phils are a favorite to win the NL East!!! What do you think about that? :grin:

Starting rotation could be good this year and with Utley and Howard the bats should be rockin'.

Does anyone know anything about Garden of Earthly Delights in Philly??? I was looking on the venue list on Wizkids site and we do not have them listed on this thread. If you have info about this venue let me know.

Also what the heck kind of name is that? It makes me think of like a Salad Works or something rather than a game store....no offense.

[azathoth]

Dom and I had a chance last night to hang at Krusticlese's venue (Showcase Comics in Bryn Mawr) with Biz, et al. and we had a blast!

The tournament scenario was alot of fun (Build a 500 point indy team with one Marvel or DC guest star) and brought out alot of figures you don;t typically see on the map. Everybody was really nice, there to have a good time and made new players feel welcome. I am definately looking forward to coming out again some Friday night when I get the chance. If you haven't been out there yet, check this venue out!

[KitsuShel]

I went to the Pre-Release at All Things Fun today.

I had a BLAST! Everyone I played and met was soooooooooo nice!!

The best time I've had playing Clix in a while! Thank you all who were there so much!!

I just wanted to say Thank You to all the Guys and Gals that came out to All Things Fun! for the DC Origins Pre-release. As usual we had a full house yesterday and I hope everyone had a great time.

Yeah, what he said.. heheh.. No, seriously, I had a BLAST @ Showcase Comics -- more fun than I had expected. I really wish they had had a Pre-Release, because I would have been there in a heartbeat.

Nice to know there are still gaming venues where people care about the characters and having fun, as opposed to cliques and power-gaming.

I wish we could give venues Rep, because I would give a whole boatload to Krusticlese and all whom I played with Friday night. You guys are sooo nice -- THANK YOU!!!!

[biz567]

Heh, glad to see you guys had fun at our venue! Feels cool and all. You guys should defintely come by more often. It's fun every week!:)

I've been there, never again.
It's not so much of a game or comic shop, they have both, and a lot of other eclectic carp.
The area has poor parking and the store itself feels (and looks) like a flea market.
They still have Clix games on Friday night, in a little back room that they have there.
The people that play there are fine, but the venue is poor at best.

Yes you have got to come out for the Marquee, It is Supergirl and Martian Manhunter after all. This event screams YOU!
And ToteBoy needs a re-match! How does it feel to have a 12 yr old Arch-Enemy? :laugh:

I believe so. He also had a great time at the prerelease and went from being slightly ambivalent towards Origin to being full-on stoked.

Good times!

Anyone know what places around here are doing that heralds thing this summer? How about that place in Cherry Hill Mall?

Haven't seen the specifics yet, but if we can we will deffinetly be running them.

[Angel]

My 1st post to this thread!! You may know me as Paulie :classic:.
After messing up Mage Knight which I loved (yes, even Dungeons), WK needed to be careful about these sweeping changes to thier flagship game. I admit, I thought the end was near when WK decided to retire sets. But they (WK) decided to enforce that in high end tournys and not the weekly store tourny (fine). I'll be the 1st to admit I didn't care for the Feats & Battlefield Conditions. But they did make older figs more playable than before. After reading the Critical Hit Article, the change I like the least, is probably that players will now have a rating ala Mage Knight. To me, it was refreshing to play Hero clix and not hear other players discussing, "I'm ranked #8 in New Jersey & #56 in the States" (yeesh). The new cards with a possible new white character ability sounds cool, although, carrying around additional stuff doesn't thrill me (i'm running out of storage room as it is). All in all, it could be alot worse (it could be Mage Knight V2.0).

[stevebo0124]

Only thing that has me mad is the white power... Anyway, this isn't the place for this discussion. If anyone hears anything definite about the Herald event thingy (lol) in our area let me know. I'm guessing that the heralds will be "2.0" figures and I want'em...

[azathoth]

I guess the heralds will be cool BUT BRING ON STARRO SAYS I!!!!!! I am so excited about that event. I may have to go on meds just so I can wait. ;) I do agree with Paulie though. The rating/ranking system in MK just bred ultra-competitiveness and power gaming. I really hope that doesn't happen this time around. Oh and thanks for joining us!

[stevebo0124]

One of my players has told me he'll buy a brick and leave it at the store in July, taking out 2 boosters each time he plays in one of the Herald sealed events.
That way he gets the brick discount, the BIBTB fig and will get all 4 participation LEs - the Heralds - plus a shot at winning Galactus.Any chance a store around here will be willing to do this?

[azathoth]

Always nice to have new people aboard. Where do you live and play? If your free Saturdays at Noon feel free to stop by Hall of Heroes in the Cherry Hill Mall. We play there every week at that time.

[Azrael0626]

Got the official word from the owner himself yesterday and we will be holding the Galactus/Heralds event. It's going to be a blast I hope you can make it.

[Toteman]

Starting May 18, 2007 Friday nights at All Things Fun! start up again.

[Toteman]

During the Coming of Galactus! events all Friday Nights at All Things Fun! will be constructed. This is for anyone not able to play SEALED every week. Friday nights will still have Limited Edition figures for prizes. And they will be at the store when you win. We don't make you wait for prizes!

We should have a great crowd for the Herald's events and I hope to make the Galactus event even better. We WILL have stock for all the SEALED events, unless we get over 100 participants...:) And we will be awarding players the Heralds the day of the event, not before!

[Azrael0626]

I couldn't agree more. I love that piece. :cool:

[azathoth]

Ok, so we've got confirmed Galactus events at two venues ATF and HoH (in alphabetical order).

Any word on our other local venues? Krusticlese? AZS? What is the status of your venue(s) with Galactus? It'd be great to get a list so that if people want to attend events it might be easier for them. Anyone with the info let us know.

Also, any word on the wizkids schedule for WWE? I might've overlooked it, but it might also be useful to include here for us locals.

[Azrael0626]

Anyone see Spiderman 3 yet? I was able to see it on Wednesday and although I thought it was pretty good I didn't think it was great. I thought 1 and 2 were better. I'll leave it at that, so I don't ruin it for anyone else who hasn't seen it yet.
Anyone notice the sudden abundance of Venom fans all over? I must have seen 50 people wearing the black shirt with the Venom symbol this weekend. I saw one huge guy with one that was carrying his kid on his shoulders that looks like he ate Venom. Lol! :laugh:

[azathoth]

Anyone see Spiderman 3 yet?
Saw it last night and I had a blast. I thought it was alot of fun. I don't try to expect too much from comic book movies. I did have a big HUH!?! moment at one point for the wide departure from "comic accuracy" but as far as a movie goes it was worth seeing on the big screen. I also noticed the abundance of black spidey shirts. Seems as if there is always people who run with the hype.

[biz567]

Gah I still haven't had the chance to see it, but I can't wait!

[Azrael0626]

It seems a litle rushed to me. Too much going on in one movie. Could have done more with Venom.

[ShellShock]

I still need to see it, but I heard they tried to cram too much into one movie (kind of like what happened to X-men 3)

[azathoth]

Well, I can't wait to hear your respective opinions. Let us know what you thought once you see it!

[Toteman]

I saw it and really enjoyed myself. I thought the "Villain Placement" was done very nicely. Unlike Batman & Robin. I actually enjoyed it more then #2. Well without ruining it, I will just steate that I liked it a lot.

azathoth, you did not miss the schedule for WWE/WWP because it has not been announced yet.

[azathoth]

Well, I would say good to know that I didn't miss something, but it's not good to know that the schedule has not been announced. Can't say I'm suprised though.

[GreenLantern73]

I would guesstimate an announcement in a couple of weeks when the con gets closer.

[azathoth]

No problem. Glad to help!

[Angel]

So is the "Last chance qualifier" a sealed event starting Fri. at Noon?

[azathoth]

So is the "Last chance qualifier" a sealed event starting Fri. at Noon?

I'd assume that to be the case. That's how it's been done in the past, correct?

[Azrael0626]

Yes, that is the way they did it last year. At least it's a sealed this year which gives everyone a level playing field. Last year it was a constructed where people ran unoriginal and cheeseball teams like Ultimate Thor w/ Ghost Widow or Vet Icons Supes.

That's what made me question if the Fr. at Noon event was in fact the "Last chance" chumpie or not because last year I saw Azrael play in the last chance (last year) and it was a constructed format. The info under the stated event said that qualifiers can play but i'm assuming you didn't need win the qualifier to participate. I'm not complaining about it being a sealed (yet) unless I pull a bunch of poo. But at least I'll have that good ol' "Anything can happen attitute" before I open my boosters.

[KitsuShel]

Man, I'm kinda bummed. No Avengers @ WWE. Thats one of the best things about it, being able to pre-purchase a set thats not out yet. Last year it was Sinister, irrc. But nada for us this year since WizKids has decided to "Stand 100% behind brick and mortar stores"

:(

[azathoth]

That stinks! Wizkids typically does a limited pre-release kind of thing at WWE with the new set. I understand the desire to support the local stores, but doesn't doing such a thing generate buzz so that people want to buy the product when it is released at stores? I don't get it.

[Toteman]

But didn't they do the same "No X Boosters at the show" last year then had Hair10 or Darrin Skutt have a surprise battle royal or two to give out the "New" set? To generate a Buzz

But didn't they do the same "No X Boosters at the show" last year then had Hair10 or Darrin Skutt have a surprise battle royal or two to give out the "New" set? To generate a Buzz

Nah, at last year's WWE, they pre-sold Sinister. They've done the same thing for the past couple of years. I do remember the line for the year before's was so loing, we just said the heck with it. Last year I snuck in line with some Reslmers on Sat, lol. This year, Shaun got a VIP pass, just so he wouldn't have to spend all day Saturday in line. Man, that wasn't worth it now.

Need some help from my southern NJ peeps. Is there public transportation between Philly & Cherry HIll, NJ?

I would take a bus over to the speed line in Voorheese and take that right into Philly. Dom would know a little better than me though, but that is the way that I would go.

[GreenLantern73]

Thanks for the reply. I just don't want to pay an arm and a leg for parking each day of the con so I figured that I could stay in Cherry Hill or Mount Laurel (prices for HoJo Express running about $79 a night according to hotels.com) and commute to & from the con.


Any help anyone can give me or website to refer me to ref the public transportation is GREATLY appreciated & you'll get repped, I promise.

[GreenLantern73]

Man, I'm kinda bummed. No Avengers @ WWE. Thats one of the best things about it, being able to pre-purchase a set thats not out yet. Last year it was Sinister, irrc. But nada for us this year since WizKids has decided to "Stand 100% behind brick and mortar stores"

:(

When/where did you get this info from?

[Toteman]

Thanks to everyone who came out and made the Battle for Fin Fang Foom a great time.

DaddyDoom was victorious by defeating Toteboy in the fourth round.

Kudos to DaddyDoom

Friday, Saturday, the 455 bus picks up from the Cherry Hill Mall and takes you directly to the Haddonfield Hi-Speedline, which you need to get to Philly. I believe the bus fare (exact change, btw) is $3.00 round trip. Train fare would be $4.30 round trip.

Sunday is a bit of a pain, as the only way to get to Philadelphia from Cherry Hill would be to take the bus from the mall and either a) get off in Camden and take the hi-speedline over, or b) take the bus all the way into Philly. Not sure of the exact fare for that, as I have a pass and haven't paid actual fare in ages. Those bus #'s would be the 404 and 405.

You can plan the trips out and get further info at NJ Transit (http:www.njtransit.com).

You have my e-mail, too, so if you're still stuck, let me know. I can help you to map it out further if need be. :)

[KitsuShel]

The Ask Thread over on WizKids site. Came right from Makr Tuttle's mouth.

As for a public transportation, which I use all of the time, SEPTA's website has a "Plan My Trip" option which lets you plug in your starting address and your ending one and it tells you how to get where. Like, what busses or trains, different options to take. Like one way might be 20 minutes shoter, but you might have to transfer to another bus, or something like that. It lists all of your options and it's very very helpful.

:)

[GreenLantern73]

Thanks for the info. I just don't want to have to pay $15-$25 for parking downtown a day if I can help it.

Even if you did that, during the conventions finding a parking space in a nearby garage is a pain.

Don't I know it. I'll have to find the post where I recalled my parking adventures in 2003.

[Azrael0626]

I was pretty lucky when I drove the year before last and found a lot right away, but it is quite a pain and I decided to take the train last year. Much less of a hastle.

[azathoth]

Well that Wizard World fun time. I'm a bit concerned though....Wizkids roped me in with two other games, Pirates (which I've been interested in but have been trying to resist for awhile) and the new Star Wars Pocketmodels. Guess there goes the rest of my paycheck, who needs to eat? ;)

What are you talking about, silly funny man? I gave up eating chinese take-away last night so I could buy that ultra-sweet Zatanna statue. LOL!!

S'all good. We had a blast, man, truly! Most fun I've had at WizardWorld since the first one back in 2002. Can't wait 'til next year's event. WOOT!!

Hi all,

Long-time lurker, first-time poster....

I am really excited about the new changes in the Avengers set, and plan to play in the Heralds events. This would be my first time ever playing Heroclix in a "tournament setting", or at a venue of any kind. Since I can only play on the weekends, I only have a few venues to choose from (I don't mind travelling to the far outreaches of Philly). Could anyone give me advice on which of these venues would be a great place for a first-timer to get into the game? Any other info would be appreciated, like do I have to call in advance to join or just sign up on Wizkids' website, etc.

Here's my selection:

Comics & More in Plymouth Meeting
Comic Universe in Folsom
Compleat Strategist in King of Prussia
Cyborg One in Doylestown
Brave New Worlds in Willow Grove

Based on times, I'd lean toward Comics & More, but I'm willing to try anywhere that's fun, and will not scare a newbie.

Thanks for your help!

[GreenLantern73]

For future reference, the Central Parking lot at the corner of 8th & Market (across from the PATCO stop & Burger King) charges a flat $10 for parking up to 12 hours on Saturdays & Sundays.

What no listing of All Things Fun!

West Berlin NJ
Sunday 3pm
Great place for newbies, we plan on getting quite a crowd
Our NGN's get 20-40 players and we have a decent retention rate

[brucetosis]

What no listing of All Things Fun!


Oops.....how did I forget about NJ? lol

I guess I'll check out any place over the bridge too!

[azathoth]

Welcome aboard brucetosis! Glad to have you join in the conversation.

I'll definately vouch for All Things Fun as a cool venue that gets ALOT of players out to their events on the NJ side of the bridge. Toteman is the judge there (as you may have figured out) and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have. Just shoot him a PM.

As far as in PA, the events at Compleat Strategist in King of Prussia are run by Krusticlese, the events Alternate Universe in Folsom are run by BudPalmer and the events at Comics & More are run by AZS. They are all awesome judges, regulars on the realms, and run great events. I'm sure that if you are interested in attending Heralds events they would be more than happy to help you get aquainted with their respective venues (house rules, how to sign up, etc). Send them a PM and I'm sure they'll help you out! Hope that helps.

[brucetosis]

Thanks azathoth for all the info!

I will have to try to contact people to see what's what. Worse comes to worse, I'll have a bunch of places I'll want to try!

[Starman2003]

Oh, there's all Hall of Heroes, located on the upper level of the Cherry Hill Mall. We meet there on Saturdays @ noon. Good people, good conversation, and most of all, a good time to be had/shared by all. :cool

Hola, and welcome to the Realms! I go to Compleat Strategist and Comics&More a lot, especially in the summer, and both venues are great. As Az said, the judges there are great and will help out with whatever you need. Both places are pretty laid back and great to go to, so you'll have a grand ol' time!

[ShellShock]

This ain't clix related, but it needs to be said

John Street is sitting outside a store waiting for an iPhone

We have 200 murders in this city, and he wants an iPhone

...sigh

[GreenLantern73]

I don't know who the worst mayor is, Street or the guy from Camden, NJ that I saw a documentary about on PBS last year.

[azathoth]

Yup. Street hasn't had his priorities in order through his entire tenure as mayor, but there's a politics policy on the realms so that's all I'll say about that.

Anyway, the Phils are making me sick. I can't figure them out. Just when I start to think they have a ligitimate shot at overtaking the Mets they get swept in a doubleheader by the Mets!

[biz567]

What Az said. I can't believe they lost BOTH games. They better take two back in the next two games...

[Azrael0626]

That's why I can only root for one Philly team. It's too much strain on the heart all year if you root for them all. Between that and the cheese steaks you are almost guranteed to fall over from heart failure. :knockedou

[Toteman]

I must say Kudos to Azrael0626 for his upcoming scenario "Obey the Law!"
There are some really nice aspects to it and I will definitely have to use some of the features in an upcoming scenario. I like the "arrest" feature.

HEY GUYS!!

Typhon started a new thing in the calendar section, sorting it out by state.

Click here for the Pennsylvania calendar:

or here for the Jersey one:
http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/calendar.php?s=&month=7&year=2007&do=&c=31

I highly recommend adding the details of your events in there!

[Toteman]

We had two great events running together, the Juniors and the "Seniors".

We had 32+ Seniors
and 12+ Juniors


It was a rocking time but I am beat.

I guess hard work does pay off!

So how did everyone else's go.

I know Hall of Heroes Cherry Hill had like 8 people
anyone else?

[stevebo0124]

Hall of Heroes was great... I think I found me a new Heroclix spot. I seen a few familiar faces and had a great time. I was going to go to CoG week 5 next but now I'm going to go to week 3 also. So everyone bring your tradables. I will be bringing the bookbag full of goodies again.

EDIT: And I believe we had 9 people...

Actually we had 10. One guy came in at the last min. which was very cool because we got our limit for the day. Everyone seemed to have a good time and a lone Ares team almost won the whole thing. Crazy stuff. Can't wait until Saturday to see what happens next.

[rorschachknew]

The crowd at allthings rocks.
I recently had all the best parts of my collection stolen, and everyone was offering to give me their doubles, extra objects, etc. to fill the void. Thanks guys!

[Toteman]

Rorschach,
Welcome to the forums Slacker!

Do you think this Sunday will be as big as Surfer?

[rorschachknew]

I doubt it, but shouldnt be much less. Surfers way more popular than Firelord, although Firelord is WAY more playable. Power Cosmic for under 200 is awesome, I dont care if he has a gaurdsmen dial.
I want a Shang-Chi with Citizen V dial too.

[stevebo0124]

Anyone going to Hall of Heroes,
Can you try to bring an Orange and/or Green marker tomorrow? I want to fix my Firelord since it's misprinted.

Thanks,
Steve

[rorschachknew]

How do you have a firelord already?

typo in my sig duh
