<P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT SIZE="3" CLASS="HEADER"><B>Mysterious Box Delivered to WizKids</B></FONT><P>The box pictured below arrived at the WizKids office in Bellevue earlier this morning. We are not sure who left it or why. The Sentinel is in place to demonstrate scale, and did not come with the box. So far, no WizKids employee has had enough nerve to open it up. Stay tuned for more details!

Do you think they've finally done it? Is there something big and hungry in that box? Hungry enough to, say... eat a planet or two?
Personally, I'm betting it's the new Elektra figure...
Cause thats what we need....a bigger Elektra....oooh oooh...maybe its Jennifer Garner as Elektra? You know, bigger to show more detail.

Many Galactus's then. Or would it be Galacti? Or it is MasterMold. They are going to mass produce real Sentinals.

A friend of mine was telling me of a discussion he was having with someone in a comic shop once, basically to the effect of, "If you ever want an in-scale Galactus HeroClix piece, you'll have to put on a Galactus costume, then run around the map."
Of course, he didn't take into account the fact that Galactus can change size!
God, I'm a nerd.
Anyway, if it IS a Galactus piece (and if it is...man...), how much is the thing gonna cost? Will it even be available for purchase, or is it something available for use at only tournaments? Since the big-figs generally cost 20 bucks at first, and this is monumentally bigger....well? Any guesses? I say 60 bucks. Just because I have no idea. Guess. Please.
Then open the box.
Please.

Finally, Barbie clix invades the Marvel universe!
Nah, my guess, an interactive Xmen mansion playset. Perhaps, 3d buildings for Heroclix.
I wonder if Mastermold would work for Wizkids....I mean, Mastermold doesn't seem like the salary kinda dude.

It is just giant 3d terrain. Throw this box at your opponent for 5 clicks of damage. It is the crate on steriods.
Maybe it's Halle Berry as Storm...except not as Storm cause she sucked as Storm. But a Halle Berry Clix would be cool.

Well, whatever it is (go Galactus! But FoxinStocks has a point :))......
OPEN THE FRIGGIN' BOX!
Gonna go crazy cuz' of this!
If it was the new rule book, then the box would be waaaay bigger to fit in all the changes. I mean, the rulebook would make Galactus look like a kitten. But not one of those fuzzy cute ones.....

01/08/2004, 17:53
I would have said Bat Sentry too, but it says Marvel on the side. Giant Man maybe, or lots of Ant-Men
a box with about 8 Galactus's's's's's in it. No reason not to beleive they would put more than one per case
cory
As an Wizkids insider, it's my happy to inform all of you that this is:
The new Heroclix Live Action game!
Now you REALLY CAN be Spider-Man, Superman, Batman! Every costume provides all the equipment and accessories you need!
Now you too can be Wonder Woman and deflect bullets! Pop claws out of your hands like Wolverine! Feel the slice-and-dice of Kabuki's blade!
Just put on the costume and run around the neighborhood to battle your friends... er, enemies! Ranges calculated with included GPS tracking devices that you wear on your wrist! Watch includes clicker that helps you track your damage.

Maybe they are releasing the Blackbird?
Or maybe its one of those boxes that I always get during the holidays. You know...its a box within a box within a box. You think its something HUGE and then you finally finish opening it and its a unique Batman (my mom did that to me last year.....). I mean, I needed Bats to finish off my DC set, but I thought by the size of the box it was gonna be a lot more than U Batman (although I was quite happy with it).
WIZKIDS!!! OPEN THE BOX!!! All posting and no box make MSU go crazy......

I like the idea of creating 3D buildings to use in your maps. They can create a whole series that would connect together and you can design your own Heroclix world. Perhaps combining DC building and Marvel buildings would be a dream come true.

It's probably some person that wants a job at WizKids Creative Department and decided to do something as a promo piece to get their foot in the door. It just backfired because it looks a bomb or something. Better luck next time dude.

Guys, seriously, stop guessing. It really is a kitten. He's adorable, but a little rascally. Its why he's in the box without air holes - lack of oxygen and excess CO2 keep him sleepy.
Shellhead
01/08/2004, 17:58
One of the venues I played at used a 3D map and it was quite cool. Had to set up a host of new rules for it though.
With the scale reference of the sentinal, the box looks about the right size to fit 4 Galactus' with either a 3x3 or 4x4 dial base.
That would be some awesome! I can only hope.

It's gotta be a huge Galactus or at least a bunch of them.
They made a FAQ entry just to say that big figs could be 4 OR MORE squares. This is no coincidence.
Open the box!!
Ok ok....Galactus vs. Apache Chief....but Apache Cheif is really angry. I mean, like some one peed in his cornflakes angry.....yeah, that angry....
I'm thinking Galactus, remember there's probably alot of packeging and styrofoam in there as well so I doubt it's the size of the whole box but probably about 2 1/2 times as big as the sentinal.
How many points do we think this fictious Galactus would be? 400? 500? 1000?

01/08/2004, 18:04
It's a big empty box. They're just taunting us.
Isn't that the mission statement of wizkids llc. "Do whatever we can to taunt and anger our customers."
Actually we all probably have a pretty good idea what it is.

Years ago, a cardboard box of unknown origin appeared on the doorstep of some place. The owner panicked and called the bomb squad, who blew it up. As it turned out, it had been a box of kittens.
One survived.
They named him 'Lucky'.

Liability is a superhero who was hired by Marvel in the 80's, his powers are he deflects responsibilities from others onto himself.
Power PAck? That was him
Speedball, he got kitchen duty for that one
Nighthawk
Movies: The Punisher, Captain America, and Punisher movies
hiring Rob Liefield.

Common, it's a pre perplexed Sentinel, so you don't have to go and PW all your conartists to pump him up. Throw him on the table and he's ready to go

Galactus is the fanboy's wet-dream ("Tell 'im, Steve-Dave!"), but other things that would need a box that size could be:
Fin Fang Foom
S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier
Krakoa, The Living Island
a Celestial
A Rocket with Bucky strapped to it :eek:
The ego of Jim Shooter or Todd McFarlane

no no...keep the box closed for a couple more months until we all GO NUTS and guess all sorts of things. Like....Galactus that will be offered at the Summer Cons for 100$. Thats not as interesting as the kittens or the long lost vault of Al Capone.
I bet it is a Galactus, but it's just a publicity thing, like you can only get them by either paying an outrageous amount of money, or by winning the big official con tournaments.
Maybe it's my Birthday preasent. My birthday is one month away to the day. It usualy takes that long to get stuff from the States to Canada.

Mechs are vihicles, makes sense to have a gian vihicle for it. Heroclix is about heroes...
Since the box is vertical, you would think it would be a giant figure as opposed to a ship or vehicle of some sorts.

Ok, it id Galactus with the new 2.5 dial. The trapazoidal slot gives him 2 power nexi, for up to 3 powers on each stat. That Impervious, Super Senses, Shapechange combo is such a killer!! But don't worry, he's only got maybe 20 clixs of that. Plus the new team ability Cosmic Entitiy, makes him immune to Outwit/Perplex/Mind Control

Folks it is I think it is WITHOUT A DOUBT, GALACTUS.
First, we get almost all of the REMAINING HERALDS in one set. Next, the Prophet Boneyard drops hints about hearing Galactus Rumors. Then the whole bigger fig FAQ thing. And now this, a pic of a box with a sentinel next to it to show that the sentinel is SMALL next to the box. The only reason to show a sentinel is to show that this is a VERY BIG PRODUCT. It is Galactus probably in his package. No not a case either. Just Galactus himself. The sentinel next to a case wouldn't be a valid comparison. They are trying to show how big this "THING" is next to a sentinel. It is Marvel, so it is undoubtedly the eater of planets, IMO.
IF we are REALLY LUCKY, it'll come with a Secret Wars scenario complete with a BIGGER MAP, rules, and possibly some other missing Secret Wars figs.
They make all kinds of BIGGER figs for Mage Knight & MW. It was only a matter of time before Heroclix got some too.

Although not nearly as angry if they did something to the kitten that was in the box.
Now the important question is this--
If we assume that Galactus is in the box--how do we know if he's sleeping or dead?
I'm surprised no one from WizKids has posted yet to taunt us. :rolleyes:

Also in Mage knight there is one Big FIG that has a natural damage value of an 8.Yes an "8". Will Galactus have that.I say he should.I mean it is Galactus you know :-)

Whatever it is, it must cost an ungodly fortune! The box is almost three times as tall as the Sentinel, and four times as wide. Even factoring in a hefty dose of packing foam, and we're talking about a seriously huge thing here!
If it is Galactus (and seriously, what else could it REALLY be?), then it'll be great. I don't care if it's totally unplayable or not. It's Galactus!

If it is Galactus then prepair to pay 180$ for him based on wyldstaar's math.
I'm guessing it is indeed Galactus ... and hopefully (as suggested by some) he comes with Secret Wars scenarios and missing figures we still need to complete the Secret Wars roster.
I'm also guessing that he is big enough that he serves also as a carrying case for regular sized heroclix figures! Its brilliant WizKids! Simply brilliant!

Very interesting, i agree with some of you in thinking it is either Galactus or something else over sized. it is probably a shippment of them containing several. I like how they have the caution tape on it as added art,

Seeing the box made me laugh at loud!
I agree that the box must contain only one of something since it wouldn't make sense to compare one sentinel to many whatevers.
Do you think Galactus (if it is him) would be standing or kneeling? If he were kneeling, he could be a technically bigger representation but then take up the same space.
As for included figures, I hope he comes with Dazzler, the greatest and funkiest of his heralds!
And you can never have too much purple anywhere! Anyways, I'm eager to see what it is!

You might be on to something. If the Sentinels/Sinestro push $20, what will this monstrosity cost?
Didn't WK say that this game is for 12 year olds? I wasn't that rich when I was 12......

Your all overlooking the most obvious choice. It must an Ego the living Planet figure! And I hope that it is sticky and has squares drawn on it, so we can play him as a map too! :P
Seriously though, I hope they give a hint every day and end this fairly quickly. If this goes longer than a month... no, a week... then I think several of us will go on killing sprees. :)
What is it's a Galactis shaped carring case? Similar to the Darth Vader and C3P0 cases of the early 80's. A labled and fited spot for everyone of the Marvel figs alredy produced.

To me it looks like 10-12 Sentinels could fit inside that box. I see a Galactus price getting close to the far side of $129.95
If it's not the Ravager of Worlds, then it could be:
- Classic monsters of the 60s and 70s: Devil Dinosaur, Red Ronin, Lockjaw, "Klaaguu, the contents page that walks like a man!".
- Avengers mansion, with working Laser and Trash Compactor.
- Hydro-Base, with included Stingray figure! (not available in stores!)
I GOT IT! It's the life size Stan "The Man" Lee god figure.
GoAndrewGo
01/08/2004, 19:31
On reflection, it could be a Galactus costume! That could conceivably keep the price and weight down, giving you only a helmet and maybe gloves along with anything else. Oh, and his giant gun! It would be so rad to walk into a tournament and see everybody dressed as Galactus... or not.
Still...how many points will this bad boy be?

So I was at Toyfair last year, and I was able to see the MechWarrior Dropship before it was released at the cons and such. This was before I was really into Clix, so I'd never even checked this site, or any others for that matter. My question is, did they have this much hoopla about the Dropship?
I'm just concerned...I'd be EXTREMELY pissed off if they open it, and it's Galactus (or something equally cool) and you can only buy it at a convention down in Tulsa or whatever. I want something I can own, darn it. I think I'd pay sixty bucks for a Galactus...not much more. I'm already working hard to reconcile shelling out 200 for a case of Unleashed...but I must have them all. Same goes for Galactus.
Wow...did I just say I'd pay sixty dollars for a giant HeroClix piece? I think I've lost my mind.
And by the way...if it's NOT Galactus, Wizkids is probably scrambling to make one now. If it's not the G-Man, anything that they unveil will be supremely disappointing, gagued by all of our reactions to the mystery box. I expect to see the eater of worlds when this is all done.
What about Kittens? Would you be upset if they released kitten-clix...compatible with heroclix?
David Akers

It is geneticall imposible to come up with felines that are compatible with Heroclix.

Some monkey trainer gonna nick all our clix!
This thread will get to 400 pages before Wizkidz even say what's in the box. My plan is to calm down, relax and try not to think about it. And if there isn't an answer tomorrow about whats in the box, I'll be sending my own box to Whizkidz and that one will tick.

it most obviously is the N ew set of DC unleashed figures, and tehy are going to start previewing them, thus the cuation tape because theya re going to be unleashed from teh box.
If there is a Galactus inside, it won't be as big as the box. You have to figure maybe as much as 1/5 of the length and width of the box is probably taken up with styrofoam packing material, just like the dropship.

Considering the box is labeled MARVEL heroclix it is most obviously not the new DC set.
Also, if you take a closer look at the box the "caution tape" is not really tape, it is printed on the box.
