THere will be another event on Saturday. More detail will come soon when I get it from Dr. Briefcase.

[Terman8er]

So...just a little over 3,000 miles away...and I already have my teams ready. :(

[Azrael0626]

Why no Structural Integrity Field? Are your local players hiding behind it using double barriers or something?

[bonkers1978]

Why no Structural Integrity Field? Are your local players hiding behind it using double barriers or something?

Just in case someone will take the easy way out using SIF/Warbound/HS combo. And I really think this event will draw in more then just the local players.

[incredible]

Man... we need an east coast Wonder-con.
"sigh" "sniff" :(

[Azrael0626]

Man... we need an east coast Wonder-con.
"sigh" "sniff" :(

You got that right and someone like bonkers with a gigantic supply of chase figures for prizes.

[The_Atom]

I drove 4 hours last year and I am glad I did. There were great players with great attitudes, great prizes, and great players. I will be there this year again.

[analink]

What exactly does restricted consist of these days?

[The_Atom]

I believe it's Supernova and up, but it may go as far back as sinister.

[bonkers1978]

I believe it's Supernova and up, but it may go as far back as sinister.

I think SuperNova and up, which include Marvel 2099 and Green Lantern action pack.

[The_Atom]

thanks for clearing it up. i'll start building my teams now :)

[bonkers1978]

thanks for clearing it up. i'll start building my teams now :)

Wow building team already with 2 months to go. You are hardcore.

[The_Atom]

I got smoked on Sunday last year, wanna get a leg up on the competition. Also, that's probably the only clix I'll play in the next few months.

[analink]

Dont feel too bad. The first thing I did after reading this thread was go buid a bunch of teams.

P.S. You might want to clarify what restricted is for the people that don't read the whole thread.

[Terman8er]

thanks for clearing it up. i'll start building my teams now :)

Wow building team already with 2 months to go. You are hardcore.

You guys are slackers, as I stated in the first non-OP post in this thread, I already have my teams ready...and I'm 3,000 miles away and not even attending. :(

Wait...this makes me pretty pathetic...disregard this...move along!

[Monkey Joe]

Just tagging this thread for later.

[bonkers1978]

There Will Be No House Rules At Wondercon!

[Magnetrex]

Quick question for Saturday's event. Will the 3 booster packs be from Hammer of Thor or Brave and the Bold set?

[bonkers1978]

Quick question for Saturday's event. Will the 3 booster packs be from Hammer of Thor or Brave and the Bold set?

Brave and the Bold release two weeks after WonderCon. Hammer of Thor is out of stock at my distributor and everywhere is too expensive. Every player will be receiving:

1 Secret Invasion booster
1 Arkham Asylum booster
1 Avengers or Justice League booster.

Hope to see you there.

[Magnetrex]

Brave and the Bold release two weeks after WonderCon. Hammer of Thor is out of stock at my distributor and everywhere is too expensive. Every player will be receiving:

1 Secret Invasion booster
1 Arkham Asylum booster
1 Avengers or Justice League booster.

Hope to see you there.

Wow, that will be some challenge there. And yes I will be there. I've been practicing, Supernova and up, since December for this.

[rrichster]

I hope I can make it. bonkers1978 manages a well run tournament!

[The_Atom]

Why do you keep posting that there will be no house rules? what are you referring to?

[analink]

Any ideas on how many players will be showing up for this tourney?

[bonkers1978]

Any ideas on how many players will be showing up for this tourney?

Hard to say. Last year we got around 30 to 35 different players. But it doesn't matter how many players will showing up the grand cash prize will be the same.

[Magnetrex]

I have one more question in regards to the tournament. What kind of LE's, exactly, will there be?

[bonkers1978]

I have one more question in regards to the tournament. What kind of LE's, exactly, will there be?

Unfortunately this year is a budget year. Funds are tight for me right now just because I open a store dedicated to everything Heroclix. There will be chase prizes for the winners of each tournament and a grand cash prize for the champion.

[sleeping_giant]

Dude bonkers where your store?? I live in central valley. Will be bringing hopefully half the squad of guys so 5 or so. Thanks for running this event.
NO brave and bold huh? Kinda sucks. Oh well.

[sleeping_giant]

canaaron look forward to meeting ya.

[sleeping_giant]

CAN YOU BRING SUPERGIRL? yah at least a few of us will be there. Do we need to pay for sunday entrance if we get in top 5 friday or top 10 saturday?

[bonkers1978]

There will be no fees on Sunday finals. If you qualify on Friday and Saturday then you are all good to go for Sunday.

[The_Atom]

Just to make sure. Print and Play is okay, right?

[thebigZZZZZ]

So...just a little over 3,000 miles away...and I already have my teams ready. :(

Me too unfortunately I can go there only for one day since I ll be flying out to Rochester NY and WDC starting on April 4th. :(

I will be in Washington DC on April 14th, the day B and B gets released! I ordered a case...so I am sooooo 3000 miles away!!! :(:disappointed::cry:

[bonkers1978]

Just to make sure. Print and Play is okay, right?

Print and Play is fair game.

[analink]

Any chance of making the final tourney an updated restricted? Like Avengers and up?
That would get red of the R Shazam teams and make for a more interesting tourney setup IMHO.

Trust me. I would love to go with your suggestion. But there are few who would object to it though.

[bonkers1978]

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!

I have change the Cash Prize amount. There will be guarantee Cash Prize for the FINAL 4 players. 3rd and 4th place will receive $50, Runner-up (2nd) will receive $100 and the Winner will receive $300.

The Heroclix tournaments is on the official WonderCon website. http://www.comic-con.org/wc/wc_games.shtml

[bonkers1978]

I would like to make one thing clear. The ONLY time you pay to play is for the Sealed Event on Saturday. Friday event is FREE. Sunday Final is FREE if you qualify on Friday and Saturday. There is no other fees. Been getting a lot questions regarding this. Hope this help.

Damn would've been nice to have $500. Still, whatever helps to get people motivated for second, third, and fourth place I guess. As long as I get a chase or SR figure, I'll still go.

[rwint1968]

Brave and the Bold release two weeks after WonderCon. Hammer of Thor is out of stock at my distributor and everywhere is too expensive. Every player will be receiving:

1 Secret Invasion booster
1 Arkham Asylum booster
1 Avengers or Justice League booster.

Hope to see you there.


Will we be able to get our choice of how many of each booster for the sealed event? Like if we want all DC or all Marvel or 2 of DC and 1 of Marvel? Thanks bonkers1978!

:cool:

You will have a choice for the third booster between Justice League and Avengers. But everyone will receive one Secret Invasion and one Arkham Asylum booster.

[sleeping_giant]

There will be no fees on Sunday finals. If you qualify on Friday and Saturday then you are all good to go for Sunday.

I think what everyone might be asking about is the Sunday wonder-con membership fee that is 10 dollars. friday/ Saturday it cost 12bucks online 15 at the door . Sunday is ten bucks either way. Will this 10 bucks be waved or we still gotta pay to get in? Im not saying i will win but outta 5 guys im my car group one should.

[analink]

Trust me. I would love to go with your suggestion. But there are few who would object to it though.

It's all good. I just have a feeling it will end up being like '08 Gencon 2.0

You gotta still pay to get into WonderCon. You guys should just get the 3 day past for $30.

[mell]

i was there last yeear and had a great time, great players and great people!! Also a big hats off to the sponcer great guy, hope to see everyone there this year

[The_Atom]

does this mean there is no longer a 30 point cap on feats in the 500 point game on friday?

[bonkers1978]

That is correct. Good catch.

[The_Atom]

you tryin to pull one over on me?! :P K, now I need to change my team YET AGAIN! thanks bonkers!

[Dr. Briefcase]

Hopefully be added by Bonkers.

4/3/10 Saturday
3:00PM Ragnarok Event Dial

Prizes: ?

Posted to the first page. I will add it to the Heroclix League Website tonight. Don't worry about the Prize, I will take care of it.

[bonkers1978]

Prizes for each event is up...

[booleyb]

Played last year. Lots of fun. Not sure I'll be able to this go round. Glad it is still going. Good luck everyone.

[Magnetrex]

I have another question in regards to Saturday's tourney. Can we use our own feats or feats that we pull from the boosters?

[bonkers1978]

You can only use Feats, Bystander Tokens, Special Objects and Battlefield Conditions from your boosters.

[bonkers1978]

Don't forget that there are TWO events on Saturday. Prize for that event will be a Green Fin Fang Foom. I will not personally running this event but Dr. Briefcase is the best local judge so everyone should be confident in a smooth and fun tournament.

[sleeping_giant]

By the way Bonkers has a great store. Lots of hard to find singles!!! REally looking forward to WOndercon!!!

I wish i could go all 3 days. Its gonna rock!!!

[Magnetrex]

I can't wait for Saturday. Throg of Thunder today, tomorrow the championship!!! MWAHAHAHA!!!

[sleeping_giant]

im not sure ive seen this anywhere but what maps are being used for friday, saturday and sunday?

[Magnetrex]

Another question that needs to be answered. Should I bring my heroclix as well for Saturdays game? The reason I'm asking is because every time I bring my bag to one of these sealed tournaments, (whether its for trading, free play, etc) I always see other guys bringing only their box of dice and object tokens with them and that's it. I'm just wondering if I'm going to be the only one lugging around a 15 lb duffel bag of clix or is anyone else bringing theirs on Saturday.

[bonkers1978]

im not sure ive seen this anywhere but what maps are being used for friday, saturday and sunday?

Friday-Most of the older maps and all the current maps with the color borders.

Saturday-Only the current maps with the color border.

Sunday-Only the current maps with the color border.

This is totally up to you. I would recommend to bring as little as possible. There will be a sealed event first so there will be no need to bring any Heroclix for and the second event on Saturday is a 300 point team. Just bring whatever you want to play for the second event.

[Impulse-ive]

Are BFC's allowed? and if So i assume they must be from restricted sets.
Thanks i can't wait to play in a big tourney's again. i cant wait to see your shop too.

[bonkers1978]

Friday event- Unrestricted so all BFCs are good to go.

Saturday event- Sealed No BFCs except for the one you pulled from your boosters.

Sunday event- Restricted so only tournament legal BFCs are allowed.

Thanks.

Sorry to sound like a n00b for a second, but what's BFC?

[The_Atom]

BattleField Conditions.

[Magnetrex]

BattleField Conditions.

Right and they do....the Purple feat cards right?

[The_Atom]

yes. they are purple. you cannot use multiples of the same BFC in tounament not even from different sets.

[razzed1]

ok, I guess with the new Wizkids release of newly retired sets...what format will we be using at WonderCon? Still Origins and Supernova and up? Same feat requirements? or are we going to change the restricted to "Modern Age"?

[The_Atom]

since wizkids/neca has not fully announced how the feats will work, i think that would be a bad idea, although i could see changing it to avengers and up.

[bonkers1978]

ok, I guess with the new Wizkids release of newly retired sets...what format will we be using at WonderCon? Still Origins and Supernova and up? Same feat requirements? or are we going to change the restricted to "Modern Age"?

[elfholme]

I was going to try to make it for Saturday, but my daughter just got invited to a birthday party for one of her pre-school classmates, so not sure if I'll be able to make it now. Sunday is my brother's and niece's birthdays (as well as Easter), so that's right out, and it's too late to request Friday off. :(

[razzed1]

I and a friend will be there. Travel plans confirmed. We are looking forward to meeting you all and getting our butts handed to us!

[Magnetrex]

I and a friend will be there. Travel plans confirmed. We are looking forward to meeting you all and getting our butts handed to us!

Indeed you will. I am mesmerized by this trophies circumference.

[bonkers1978]

[sleeping_giant]

[bonkers1978]

[sleeping_giant]

[WildWeasel]

I and a friend will be there. Travel plans confirmed. We are looking forward to meeting you all and getting our butts handed to us!

[bonkers1978]

[bonkers1978]

I don't know not too expensive but I park across the street in the garage for $24 full day.

[Monkey Joe]

Take Bart :cheeky:

[The_Atom]

Once again, I had fun today. Thanks for the BPRD set. Maybe next time my opponents will have full teams or John won't get vendetta points. lol. Good games, and soorry to Raymond, he should have been closer to beating me but his dice hated him today.

[sleeping_giant]

hey canaaron not sure if i met you or not there. Which team did you have?
