So I spent the last 4 or so hours calling 40+ stores in Ontario to ask about their preview figs. I was extremely detailed in asking questions to be 100% accurate (especially when dealing with non-clixers). I think they are sending only CERTAIN figs out because I've heard multiples of Seth, Loki, Venom and Gorilla Man to name a few (which is good because there will still be some surprises left when we open our boosters). I'm going to be posting them all shortly. I managed to get...Hand Ninja, Moonstone, Bug, Hela and Pluto. Let's start with Hand Ninja...I forget to ask his range though So I'm going to post his dial using the range provided in the original spoiler. Enjoy

Damage - From the Shadows: Once during your turn, if Hand Ninja occupies hindering terrain and has no action tokens, he can make a close combat attack as a free action.

Thank goodness we cannot use BCF on that free attack SP...that'd be nuts!

Nice work!

Having no defense powers upfront make these guys a bit more bearable. You should be able to one-shot them easily, but God help you if they get a turn with you.

Nice! Thanks again.


For comparison purposes....

I think their point values coupled with the fact that they really need taxis or TK to utilize that special power to the fullest keeps these guys from being overpowered

And we may now resume the "Hand Ninja: Novelty or Tragedy?" discussion.

Thanks for all of the info. If possible, please put all of the dials in one thread so we do not have to click on all of your 7-10 threads.

Thanks!

I figured it would be better to give each figure it's own thread, that way if you go to THAT thread you KNOW people will be discussing THAT figure. I seriously just spent like 4 hours on the phone, sorry to waste YOUR time by making you click a couple of extra times.

Don't sweat it dude. I prefer the seperate threads myself as it makes dialogue about specific figs easier.

They're all gonna get collected in one thread or another eventually anyhow, so I suppose folk can wait for that or click 5-10 different threads in the meanwhile.

That's what I'm saying too, I just found it really rude that I did all this work to get info to the people and this guy criticizes my approach to posting it. Clicking a mouse is a lot easier than calling like 45 stores in my opinion. I don't know if he was trying to come off as rude or not, but I felt like saying "would you rather I didn't post it at all?". Maybe it seems like I'm over-reacting a bit, but yesterday he did the same sort of thing. I had those Venom pics but couldn't post them so he said I could send them to him, and he would. Which he did, but then sent me a message saying "next time can you use a lower resolution so it's easier to format them". I drove to the other end of town and spent MY gas money to get some pics for the realms and once again criticism. No biggie I guess, just kinda grinds my gears.

40+ Stores? Wow. Your phone bill must be ridiculous

seth dial up on :ADVENTURES GATE:

Your efforts are much appreciated by myself & many others,you've given us more info than anybody else through your tireless dedication to getting this info out,a pity we can't even rep you on all your posts as they appear!

I appreciate your hard work, professor. tried to rep you again but got the message it was too soon for me. thanks again tho for your efforts!

but can you post some pics with those.

kidding, kidding, seriously, just kidding. thanks again.

Just realized you're relatively new here, so you haven't seen how this sort of thing works in the past.

Over time, it's become standard practice on the Realms for there to be one "official" thread to collect information and discussion at times like this. Doing so does consolidate information for those visitors who don't spend all day checking the site for new updates. (Guilty as charged.)

Your heart's in the right place, and your rationale was fairly sound. However, there are two downsides. One, it does get really cluttered. Threads which may be discussing other topics of interest get shoved aside in favor of (hypothetically) sixty threads discussing each figure individualls. Two, it encourages people to rush and be "first" to get on and post the new information... often without checking to see if they are really "first." So now you get dozens of extraneous threads instead of one agreed location.

Obviously, we all appreciate the work that you've done rounding up this information, and it isn't entirely right to call you out for social norms you probably weren't aware of. However, I hope you understand why they developed and why we try to stick with them.

Again, thanks for all the information!
