Every clixer started their collection, and every one had thier first fig. ever. How many can remember theirs?
Mine was E Magneto (hence my name!)
If you started with a starter or a booster, put the strongest person in that pack.
Hope to here from everyone who can remember.

When I opened up my first starter pack the very first fig inside, was rookie daredevil. He always has a special place in my heart. The rest of the pack went as follows in exact order

Jean Grey r
Scarlet Witch V
annihilus e
ultron e
henchman r
thug r
hydra medic r

I made so many combinations with those eight beloved figures. Daredevil, annihilus, and scarlet witch(my first vet, sigh) are still some of my favorite figs. I have two rookie daredevils, 1 for playing and the original stays outside of the box as the first fig. my first booster goes as follows.

r cyclops
r proffessor x
v henchman
u captain america
e vulture(with no fig, just base)

yep first booster and I got 4 figs plus unique

Good ol' Quasar.

The rest of the set was V Blase, R Hercules, R Captain America, R Elektra, and a couple others.

Wasn't really into it when it first came out, but I still like Marvel, so I bought a pack to say I did. Of course in that one pack I got a Unique. Juggernaut to be presise. I was content to leave my Unique/pack record at 1 for 1 but with the downfall of the DBZ cardgame, I joined the ranks of the clixers

I remember exactly what my first figs were I bought a Marvel IC booster and a DC HT one. From a Mavel IC booster: E SHIELD Agent, R Hydra Agent, R Bullseye, and E Ultron. From the DC booster: R Arcane, R Metropolis SCU, V Mad Hatter, E Huntress.

Funny Story, I was getting sick of my huge collection of pokemon cards, which all sets were complete, and I decided to sell them, see how much I could get. i ended up getting 75 bucks. With all that money in my pocket thats when I noticed Heroclix. I ended up burning all of it , but hey my highlights of that day were

1. (U) Thanos, igot in my first starter
2.(U) wasp
3.(U)spiderman( i got an extra thanos so I traded)

This is where my obsession for heroclix started!!!

03/14/2003, 21:34
Well, I want the eBay route and paid about $25 for a promo Spidey* before the game was available out, But I did get the Unique symbiote-suit in my first starter :D








*Contemplating doing the same thing for Judge Dredd (he was the first indy comic I ever read) but the current prices on the 'Bay are nowhere near $25 :(

webhead817
03/14/2003, 21:41
First piece was the Promo Spidey, got it from my local shop, and carried it around in my car with me like it was made out of gold. :) Then, the day IC was released, I got a U Spidey in the first starter I opened.

Wylde Knight
03/14/2003, 21:45
The only figure that I can rember from my first
starter and boosters was a sheild medic and

I started out by buying Vet Hobgoblin for 2 bucks out of a case of one of the four comic stores around here.

I planned on getting some of the characters I liked, manly just Joker, Batman, and Bane for the time being. I saw Hobgoblin and he has always been one of my favorites. So I got him.

Then next week I got V Sabertooth and V Captain America, both for 2 bucks each. Then I decided I would maybe try to play the game a little when Joker and Batman come out. I ended up getting R/E for Hobgoblin, America, and Sabertooth. Those were the characters they had that I liked. They had Klaw and other's like him that are alright, but at the time I didn't intend on getting into the game.

So then I see the mother of all Clix, ULTRON!! I had to have him. I bought him, then I got Jean Grey and Cyclops and probably around then I got a starter and boosters. I never intended to get into it like I did. I guess that's what made the first set really cool. I wasn't on the net looking for info and I didn't know who all was in the set. It was kind of like Christmas seeing new characters come from the boosters, but now I must know who is in the set before hand to determine if I want to preorder a case or not.

So did I get taken for that Vet Hobgoblin? haha

I got my first fig when they were demoing the game at Gencon last summer. Everyone who tried it got a SHIELD Agent.

Went about a month before I broke down and bought my first box (IC Starter). If I remember right it contained:

Firelord R
Prof X E
Wolvesbane
Vulture V
Whirlwind R
Mr. Hyde
Skrull Warrior
Kingpin

I was kind of excited to see Firelord as I liked the character and was suprised they made someone so obscure (Little did I know then how controversial he was). I think Hyde is my favorite out of the lot though.

03/14/2003, 22:03
In my first booster I got:
V S.H.E.I.L.D. Medic
E Klaw
R Skrull Agent
R Hydra Operative

In my Starter Set I got:
U Quasar
V Pyro
V Quicksilver
E Henchman
E Black Panther
R Hulk
R Thug
R Blade

Those figs helped me onto my quest to collect all of the Marvel Herloclix!

03/14/2003, 23:44
I don't remember for sure which was in what, but in my first-ever heroclix purchase (the wednesday it came out), got vet cyclops and a unique juggernaut (blah).

meanwhile, my friend pulls thanos from his starter and unique spidey from a booster....

later that week i bought a few more boosters and got a unique elektra.

and...i do believe that accounts for 100% of my marvel uniques. :(

Ah well. with DC I got an Exp. Superman from my starter, and Darkseid from a booster.

I was already playing Dungeons, and figured I'd buy a single booster. Though I'm not a big Hobgoblin fan, I really liked the look of the figure.

In my local comic book store, the comic book guy showed me what he thought was going to be a huge craze, HeroClix. He showed me the promotional Spider-Man, and I took note at the figure. Initially I thought it might be neat. When I bought my starter, I got a rookie Hulk, and rookie Magneto. They both sold me right there, and so I decided to buy boosters after boosters after boosters. As much as I was awed by Magneto and Hulk, I usually get Rookie Magnetos and Hulks.... And tagically I never really got a unique figure from IC....

GSInc
03/15/2003, 00:53
Picked up my first IC starter in mid-May; EVERYPLACE was sold out for some time. Took it home, ripped it open, and examined the contents:

E Elektra (still the ONLY Elektra I've ever pulled, CT included)
E Hydra Medic
V Henchman
R Shield Agent
E Hydra Operative
E Pyro
E Magneto
U Spiderman

That got the ball rolling. That was all I had for awhile, until my favorite comic shop got some boosters 2 weeks later. I then added:

V Magneto
V Quicksilver
E Pyro (again)
R Juggernaut
R Daredevil
E Shield Agent
V Hydra Medic
E Thug

Since then, I've lost track. eBay and countless boosters have dumped piles of clix into my collection. But I'll always have fond memories of that U Spidey taking on Magneto as I tried to learn the rules...:D

03/15/2003, 01:15
I had a Veteran Jean Grey!! I was used to Heroclix from my friend's collection after playing about 10 games. He didn't have it, and wasn't the biggest X-Men fan. So I was looking for her as she is really useful to X-Men teams and I've been a mutant geek since I was 4. But now she's a mainstay of my teams. I had great luck, a red Rogue and a blue Mr. Fantastic soon afterward.

03/15/2003, 01:24
1st clix out of the first booster ever: Rookie Constrictor :D

But then again, I got Thanos in the same pack....

Funky Jett
03/15/2003, 01:47
I got a U Spiderman and a V Magneto in my first booster. Funny thing is, I was more excited by Mags. I was hooked when I saw his sculpt. I thought (and still think) it's my favorite one.

texaswashingto
03/15/2003, 04:15
My very first clix was none other than Mr. Popular himself, Vet. Black Manta. I just bought him out of a $.25 bin cuz I thought he looked cool, looked online to figure out what those colors on the dial meant... and I was hooked!

JoFo
03/15/2003, 13:11
Hmm... in my first starter I got U Elektra and E Hercules.

Magneto666
03/15/2003, 13:21
I can remember my first two......promo Spidey came from a comic shop near my home. Two weeks later, at the Motor City Comic Con, WizKids ran a demo where everyone attending got either a promo Spidey or a promo Batman.....I took the Bat!! So my first two figs were the promos.

And then I discovered the wonderful thing known as "ordering full cases"......my bank account hasn't fully recovered from it yet!

Magnito
03/15/2003, 14:22
When I started this thred, I only said the best in My starter, but I think I'll add the rest of my starter
E Magneto
V Jean Grey
V Bullseye
R Hobgoblin
R Daredevil
E Quicksilver
R Kingpin
V SHIELD Medic
Most of them are fairly popular characters that even a non comic-reader would know, so I was thrilled!

My first was a IC starter set which included Thanos. I knew this was the game for me but sometime down the road I pulles a booster with Red Skull and Mojo sick huh?

03/15/2003, 17:43
Right away I pulled an E Blade and a V Daredevil, I was hooked from then on. I actually went back to the store that same day and got some more boosters!

Veteran Annihilus and Veteran Rogue.

Maybe that's why I hold her in such high regard...she was my first.

I started my collection with the Promo Spidey and Batman. I bought my first starter pack the week it was released and pulled the U Wolvie. The rest of the starter consisted of E Rogue, V Jean, E Hobgoblin, R Blade, R Daredevil, R Wolfsbane, R Skrull Warrior.

Don't remember what my first booster had, but I remember the first time we used a figure.

We were playing Necromunda, and someone grabbed the Promo Spiderman the shop had on display to use for their Malcadon Spyrer.

(For those who don't play the game, a Malcadon Spyrer wears a battlesuit that allows them to shoot webs and climb walls)

I'm a newcomer to the game. I bought my first booster about a month ago, and was a little underwhelmed by it:
R Hydra Medic
R Quicksilver
R Sabertooth
R Hulk

I was a little shocked that I had picked up such popular characters in my first booster. Finally pulled my first Uniques last Thursday (Spiral and Super Skrull).

MARVEL

First starter: V Spiderman and V Dr Strange

First Booster: Nick Fury and E Thing

DC

First starter: U Batman and V Superman

First booster: V Bane

Just the best ones listed, I didnt get into heroclix until about last Christmas, I got a starter pack for Christmas. Until then I wasnt buying any because I had just gotten out of Mage knight, and it was costing me a fortune on boosters trying for the ones I needed. Its like a form of gambling in a way.....

Anyway, I got the starter and the booster, and from then on I thought, why not? And now Im hooked.

B@man
03/17/2003, 02:18
I got E Ultron, a Sabretooth and a Blade in my first purchase. Then in my first DC purchase, I pulled U Supes, which was kind of a mixed blessing (but it was the first unique I ever pulled; only in the last couple of weeks have I pulled my first IC unique, U Cap!)
