Just wondering if an administrator can add the new GSX figures into the units section if they get a chance. I really like having everything in the units section for team building purposes (even if I don't actually HAVE the figures yet).
GSX now includes:
-Pestilence (GSX #201)
-War (GSX #202)
-Famine (GSX #203)
-Apocalypse /Reprint (GSX #G07)
-Sentinel Mark II /Reprint (GSX#G08)
-Sentinel Mark V /Reprint (GSX #G09)
I know I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!:cool:
With their alternate point values for team building. As well as the current ones alternate points, too. Frost Giants!!!

I'm not as worried about those until at least after the official release date, its not HCrealms responsibility to keep up with a bunch of stores leaking new stuff.
Don't hold your breath guys. My only gripe with this site is how horrible the units section is. I mean for God's sake we still don't have accurate pictures for the Web of Spider-Man set which came out MONTHS AGO! I really don't understand that as the units section used to be my biggest draw to this site but they have been just painfully lazy as of late with it. Then to think they have the balls to ask for donations...

at least they have accurate dials for FREE!!
seriously pictures isn't really anything to be concern about...

I think the pictures come directly from Wizkids site - the fact that they don't have WoS up is telling. On another note: If someone would like to send me a complete set of everything produced, I'll take pictures with my camera and upload them. :cheeky:

Like I said it was a personal rant. The shot about asking for donations was probably uncalled for. However, getting pictures for these figures is very easy and can easily be obtained after about ten minutes on the old interweb or by asking people to submit pictures of the figures.
Again not meaning to be cheeky, but it is something that just annoys me is all.

Seriously? Can you point me to a better units site for heroclix anywhere on the internet? Heck, I'll bet you a booster of DC75 that you cannot.
Hcrealms, while being a fan-maintained site, is far superior to the official Wizkids site or any other that I've seen.

The Units section is phenomenal. End of story.

I can point you to multiple that have better imaging than this site. In terms of search ability none, but dial display I prefer the wizkids dial display, yet they also don't have images up :(
Also before you ask I have ranted on them for the same thing.

phenomenal would have proper images and no typos. It is good don't get me wrong, but it is far from phenomenal.

I am not sure why images of a figure is important? I know what they look like.
If there are typos you can submit items to be corrected here...

It is a lot easier to help than to complain incessantly. It is like saying that a place looks a mess and refuse to pick up some trash.
Phant they are important to me and to the new(er) players who don't know what some of these figures look like. Remember there are players who want a figure based entirely on how it looks. Heck I don't know how many times I've had to acquire the chrome Silver Surfer simply b/c the person wanted it based on how awesome the figure looks.

You may know what they all look like, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't.

I already stated that we can easily get the images for this. Hell two of the advertisers for this site already have all of these images. I'm sure the site could easily get those images from them for free or a one time reduced price in the add space.
I don't really have a problem with no pictures of the newer figs, you can always just find those on ebay. My only gripe is that they have not added the ATAs. Otherwise the units section is excellent for what it was designed for: keeping track of your collection, wants, haves, and team building.

That still does not answer my intent for that part, which talks about the typos that you addressed.
I also want to state that I am in no means defending the units section. However, I do not appreciate people who complain without trying to help. It is easy to delegate what people should do, but if you want it done you will have to get your hands a little dirty. For example, if you want to help, provide links and report typos. That link that I gave you is for the specific use of pointing out typos and other things that need to be fixed and bring it to the site's attention and the mod who is in charge of the units will edit it.
Phant, I've already done that with the typos and errors that I have found in the past. I have not trouble doing that. I have also mentioned the lack of images and how to resolve that in the past as well.
Further, feel free to defend this site and its unit section. As a total product it is the best figure search on the web. That is not to say that it does not have it's faults. The only reason I mention my gripe is due to the fact that it has been such an amazing tool for so many years and only within the past 6 months has it fallen into disarray. I've grown to expect more and it upsets me when those expectations are not met.
I've got all the pics available thanks to others whom have contributed.. So If whomever is incharge of updating the units (lancelot?) wants them I'm more than willing to provide.
You may know what they all look like, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't.
*raises hand*
Yeah, I love the Units section here. The team building feature is awesome. I still don't know what more than half of the figures from GSX look like yet, but I could easily look them up on E-Bay if it was that important to me.
I do miss that they haven't put in updated pictures into the Units since Web, but whatever, it's not a huge deal.
This site is without a doubt the best resource for HC anywhere. The mods here are great, and the community (for the most part) is also great. So, a little thing like no pictures in the Units section is hardly worth even worrying about.

Do it yourself (http://www.hcrealms.com/units/submit.php) - it's a lot faster if the admins don't have to type everything up themselves.

There's a section to add ATAs in the Dial Submission Tool, you know... It doesn't seem to have been used much though.

I don't see how to add ATAs with the dial submission tool. There is no option for ATA under rank... nor feat, bystander,BFC, etc.

You ##### an awful lot for someone who doesnt even donate to the FREE site.
There are no other sites that even come close to what the realms does for this community. Could it be better? Sure, but its not going to get better because you post about how the pictures suck.

Still waiting to hear how to add ATAs with the dial subm tool. I really think this would have been done by now if it was possible.
