Gen Con OZ

[Than0seid]

Does anyone know if there will be heroclix stuff at this?

And how many australia players are planning on going?

[Sgt Grimes]

no idea.....

[hero_temp]

Yes they are ment to be playing HC up there

I know Keef (Adelaide) was looking at going, and Destiny (Brisbane) will most likely be there .

I was looking at going, but need to look at flights and my avaliable time off before I confirm.

[zero_cochrane]

I'd consider going up to GenCon for clix, but I'd have to find out soon.

[xgene]

I'm hoping to make it, but at this stage, it's more and more unlikely.

[Than0seid]

I put a message up on the Gencon boards, and was told that they were planning to have games up there, and there will be an announcement about it later.

Good to hear, will have to start looking at flights :)

[Destiny]

Hi All

For those that need to plan/book flights etc
The current plan is
The Heroclix Sealed Event will be on Saturday 5 July 2008
and the Heroclix Constructed Event will be on Sunday 6 July 2008
With a 10am start on Saturday
and a 9am start on Sunday

I will post more precise details once they are finalised
(ie once table space/location is confirmed etc)

If your thinking of attending I would encourage you to do so
This will be a great event.

Also if anyone needs any specific details like hotels nearby
bus/train timetables, how to get from point A to point B
Feel free to drop me an email
I live in Brisbane so I may be able to help
(and I know what it's like to go to an unfamiliar city and not know your way around)

[Draggor]

That's what i was wondering. Who's gonna still be sitting on their boxes and receipt from sinister if they didn't get venom at the time. I notice you have worlds finest listed. Nice but not worth the trip. Not good if we can't get any the conventional way because you've got them all though. Nice batch of prizes though. Wish I could afford to just zip off to brissie.

Hhmm... Croftminster has 4 Brick redemption forms and receipts from me, following Wizkid's 'instructions' (those who went to the source - or ebay - were infinitely wiser).

I got my Crisis brick yesterday but with a limit of 5,000 WF's and having Wizkids announce 'Sold Out' last Friday and then there being some (limited, moreso I imagine) at the 'Heroclix Nats' announced, here, yesterday...

...it all leaves a pretty sour taste.

I imagine Wizkids are ecstatic. I emailed their 'customer support'. No reply.

Whoever makes the Nats should be suitably rewarded. Luck to them.

That's what i was wondering. Who's gonna still be sitting on their boxes and receipt from sinister if they didn't get venom at the time.Yeah, exactly.

I've bought a brick of every set, minimum, but there's no way that I'd still have barcodes after a couple of years!

[Destiny]

Hi All

I know the brick figure redemptions have been an issue in the past
and sadly there is nothing I can do about that.

I however, do think that just getting some brick figures into Australia is a Great improvement and bodes well for the Future.

I can assure you that Croftminster has gone to alot of effort
to get brick figures and make them available for the players in Australia.
(There is alot that Croftminster does do for Heroclix in Australia
I have seen it first hand with the planning for Supanova and Gencon)

Things are much better then they were a few years ago
and Supanova and Gencon are the start of many great things to come.

I would encourage everyone to come along to Gencon
and enjoy some excellent tournaments

So we do still need the barcodes and receipts?

Did anybody actually keep any Crisis barcodes after the WF sell out was announced?

[BB_downunder]

Yes but I have no hope of getting to Brisbane to redeem it. Sorta moot... :confused:

[zero_cochrane]

Some of us are organising the trip now!

[BB_downunder]

Good news to people who missed out on WORLD'S FINEST and can make the Qld gig. This was emailed to me, it is is legit.

If your Buy-it-by-the-Brick coupon was not received before we ran out of figures, your coupon and shipping payment will be returned to you. Returned coupons are being sent from our warehouse now, and you should receive them in the next couple of weeks.

i'm heading up to Gen-con and poss 2 of my players from Adelaide

[zero_cochrane]

I'm signed up for the Sunday constructed tournament.

I thought about doing the sealed game too, but I'm only up there for two days - so I decided to fit in some non-clix stuff too. After all, if I bomb in the constructed then there's another sealed game for me to play. :cheeky:

Hi

>only got 2 returned with no receipts or upc's returned

I would suggest you try contacting Croftminster
to see if you can sort something out.
Would your players be able to contact the store they originally
purchsed the boosters from and get a photocopy of the receipt
(ie the stores carbon copy)
