Assuming that these are the 10 White Lanterns in DC75 (and I will be very surprised if they are not, as this is all of the the first group of them, and we are getting most of the second group in the BD Action Pack), which of these figures are you going to try to collect?

Hal Jordan
Superman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Superboy
Donna Troy
Kid Flash
Ice
Animal Man
Green Arrow
or none of them

Isn't Hawkman & Aquaman White Lanterns?

Went with none. Just don't care about the WLs.

Isn't Hawkman & Aquaman White Lanterns?

There are 2 groups of White Lanterns:

Sinstro and these guys

The 12 Brightest Day figures

Since we know we are getting Sinestro, Hal, and Ollie; and we are getting 7 of the other 12 in non-white lantern costumes, I highly doubt Max Lord, Hawkman, Hawk, Jade, or Zoom will appear in any of these slots (though I am betting we get them in their non-lantern costumes in the CURSR slots). The idea that we are getting 11 White Lanterns (10 mini-chases and 1 BiBtB figure, the fact that Sinestro is numbered #100 and Ollie is numbered W-10 supports the argument for 11 White Lanterns) adds to the argument that we will get all of the first group of WL's and not just half and half of 2 groups. Also, the second group of WL's were only ever in their WL costumes while having the visions of their "labors", whereas the first group actually did something for the extremely limited time they were Lanterns.

This is why I would be very surprised to get anything the figures I listed.

I'd collect them all if I could (which is what I marked) however since I can't, I'll probably trade the 1 or 2 that I pull to get other stuff that I'm more likely to play. Sinestro is the only "must have" for me.

ChiRocker
10/13/2010, 09:27
I just marked my Must Haves, though I would love to get all of them:
Superboy, Kid Flash, Donna Troy

Remember that Hawkman, Max Lords, Aquaman and others are part of the Brightest Day action set that we'll be seeing shortly.

the "one per brick" White Lanterns will be those lot that were really only white lanterns for that one stupid page in Blackest Night where they act all bad-arse to beat down Necron

I'm a completist. It will probably take me longer than usual, but I will have them all eventually.

MEsch1974
10/13/2010, 09:31
Frankly, I'd go for 'em all, since I've been following the storyline from the inception of Blackest Night into Brightest Day.

...assuming that I can actually get my hands on such uber-chase figures... :P

Max and Hawkman aren't in the Action Pack. Aquaman, Osiris, Hawkwoman, Firestorm, Martian Manhunter, Captain Boomerang, and Deadman are.

This sums up my point of view rather nicely

Although a playable Connor would be especially nice

ChiRocker
10/13/2010, 09:39
Knowing that we are getting 2 Sinestros in this set, I kinda think we may get dupes of all of these guys (especially hoping for Connor, Bart, and modern costume Donna).

RavenProject
10/13/2010, 09:44
None of the above. They're novelty figures which I will never play, and they're going to be worth far more to me flipped than sitting useless in my case.

As sad as it is I'm a big Aquaman fan and I hope that he gets a WL and it would be THE WL that I must have. After him I really want Hal and Barry. BL Barry was simply amazing and is my favorite incarnation of him todate b/c I am also a big time GL fan. DC75 is going to be the most expensive set for me ever as there are just so many clix that I must have.

DarkBlueAnt
10/13/2010, 10:26
Green Arrow is the only guys I'd really want, but there's no situation where I would pull one and be disappointed.

10/13/2010, 10:27
How much you wanna bet that they will make the most popular/wanted characters into chase figures or make them so damn hard to get that only the store will be getting them to sell at highass prices.

Oh I voted for all, Im a completest.

brojase
10/13/2010, 10:29
I voted Flash, Hal, and Green Arrow. Hal and GA are really just because the sculpts look really really awesome, and having a Blue Lantern Flash, it'd be pretty cool to have the WL one as well.

However, if I don't pull any of those three, I think the only one I can see myself really hunting down is the GA.

Meh. I find it sad that DC is clinging to this one event/story arc and everything else is suffering. Oh wait, they did give Wonder Woman pants....sigh.

IceHot
10/13/2010, 11:03
I will be much more interested in getting.....

Terry "Fair Play" Sloan, Al Pratt (if in the set), Sargon the Sorcer, Ocean Master, Aquaman (with two real hands and no sword or starfish on the face), Crimson Avenger (old school), Black Alice, Dino-Beast Boy, Saint Walker, Star Saphire, Alan Scott (if the sculpt is better), Detective Chimp, and Indigo 1, Attrocitus

So what did the White Lantern rings give them and how would that translate into Heroclix?

Would it be the opposite of the Black Lanterns and they all have a trait that allows them to heal up when another character (friendly or maybe opposing) heals up? If so that would make them a nice foil to the Black Lanterns.

Superbuddy
10/13/2010, 11:26
I'm planning on getting two cases of DC75, so I should end up with 4 or 5 White Lanterns. The only one I'll actively persue, though, is Ice... Although I doubt they'll give her the JLI keyword. Hopefully she'll get a non WL version too, or perhaps an LE non WL, as I can't wait to get a Modern Age Generation Lost JLI team together.

ChiRocker
10/13/2010, 11:28
I'm calling that DC75 will have Hawkman, Max Lord, Jade, Hawk, Zoom, and a non White Lantern version of Hal Jordan, Flash, Superboy, Kid Flash, Donna Troy, Green Arrow, Animal Man, and Ice (possibly with another version of Supes without the shield and Wonder Woman without the horse). I speculate that we will also get a Dove, Obsidian, Fire, and possibly Magog.

(this is my third post of this exact quote)

Ignatz_Mouse
10/13/2010, 11:32
FYI, heroclix.com now says one WL per brick. Is there anything to suggest it would ever be more than that?

anonym0use
10/13/2010, 11:33
I voted None. I'm in no position to chase them down, and will probably trade any I pull to complete a base set. :)

Anecdotal evidence from someone who attended the weekend event said there was a chance of getting 2. You are guaranteed 1, which is what heroclix.com says, but it might be possible to get 2 in a brick. We will find out in Dec/Jan.

WhoaDirty
10/13/2010, 11:37
Unless there is one with a keyword I like (JLI perhaps) I will happily trade the one from my brick for a couple SRs I didn't pull.

PaxZRake
10/13/2010, 11:38
If it's those, I only really care about Hal.

They just did not matter to the story at all, really have no character.

If it were the other group of White Lanterns I'd be there.

10/13/2010, 11:39
I voted for all of them, but I wish you'd just put 'All' as an option, since you have 'none of them' as an option ;).

Even though I am a huge GL fan, I chose none of them. These characters appeared as White Lanterns in a grand total of about 4 pages of one comic. Not interested. Especially since the Black Lanterns are all Chases too. The *only* situation I would probably want to play the WLs is against the BLs, and since this will never happen, then consider me uninterested.

Well, if you want all, you can literally vote for all, but if you want none, without that option you wouldn't be represented. Having an "all" button would require me to do more math to find the percentage that just clicking on all of them already gives me...

Next time I will consider it just for you though :laugh:

I coulda sworn that Jade was in the original ten, but maybe it was Ice.

Still i plan on getting Hal Jordan, Green Arrow, Animal Man, and Flash. I'm going to be buying a case and giving up some awesome SR's to make sure it happens.

If we do in fact get some second batch WL's, there's nothing that will stop me from getting a Hawkman or Aquaman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Lantern_Corps

This is probably all common knowledge at this point, but jic:

The original 10 (minus Sinestro) were the 10 characters who BL "Batman" spit out the rings for, 8 of which becoming living black lanterns (Hal and Barry outran the rings, and Wonder Woman later had her black ring destroyed by the violet ring). Then, after Sinestro tried to kill Nekron and failed, Hal took the white entity into himself and revived the remaining 7 Black Lanterns, along with Wonder Woman and Flash, and all 10 became White Lanterns and destroyed Nekron (by reviving Black Hand and disconnecting the tie between Black Hand and Death). Upon doing this 12 of the Black Lanterns had life restored to them because they were kinda caught in the wake of Black Hand's resurrection, and that group of 12 are the second group of "White Lanterns" who have currently only worn the costumes in a vision.

I assume you didn't buy Secret Invasion, Brave & The Bold, Crisis, or Hammer of Thor, origins, or Supernova either? (of course, those sets didn't have a 'chase' one per brick, so it was even harder to get them).

Well, since you ask... Chases didn't really bother me until BatB royally screwed us. And then once I finally console myself on that, they pull this on us.

Just make a good product that's exciting (and X-Men is shaping up nicely) and I'll buy it. But pull money grabbing gimmicks like this, I won't play ball.

Had Wizkids announced their no chase policy of WoS before Pre-order cut off date, I may have ordered more than I did.

UndeadEnigma
10/18/2010, 21:53
I went for none. The White Lanterns just don't appeal to me. They are white washed versions of the DC characters offering little to the game. Superman gets TK, psychic blast, and Pulse Wave? Great. Wonder Woman was just represented as a Lantern What's left to do dial wise? It's just a panel gimmick in my eyes. Might make for compelling reading, but clix wise it doesn't bring much to the table.

I'd rather have well sculpted Black Lantern Versions myself. Then at least I could pit them against the regular JLA for a theme game of some sort.

flatmatt
10/18/2010, 23:18
I voted "none of the above," but I'd really have to see some dials first. Given the rarity and that I'm not reading the books, I don't have much desire to play them as a team, but if any of them are accurate representations of the characters without strange "White Lantern" powers, I might be interested in them, especially for characters like Superboy who haven't been made in a while. Again, since I'm not reading the books, I have no idea if they'll have a bunch of "White Lantern" powers, but the dials from the Brightest Day set seem to suggest they will.

Owlman
10/18/2010, 23:29
I'm going to try to get them all at some point, but if Icould only have one I'd pick Hal. He's the most important to the story, and I'm a GL fan.

Clclix
10/18/2010, 23:33
I must reserve my judgment for the dials. It could be a character I really like, but if it has a craptacular dial, then no thanks.

readyeddy?
10/18/2010, 23:53
I'll collect any I get my hands on but I'm not excited about any of them. I want either unmade characters or remakes of characters that don't have competitive dials not another variation on characters that have several versions.

I threw my hat into the ring for Green Arrow, as the Crisis one is pretty bloated, point wise, and the only other Ollie we have is the playable-but-distinctly-aged CJ one and the Duo from B&tB.

First and foremost is Superman.

Hal Jordan and Superboy are right after him.

Anything after that would just be used to trade for one of these three, and I doubt that I will manage to get three of them. If someone wants to trade one for LEs or SRs, then maybe, but otherwise, I will probably only get one and maybe play in a couple of sealed tournies, so possibly manage to get more there.

Just Hal. He and Sinestro are the only ones who really did anything as White Lanterns while the power was theirs. Still too ticked off about the Deputy Lanterns to have to deal with 10 White Lanterns. :tired:
