The 25 minute Focus Group presentation from Wizkids at today's Alliance Open House

I'd post details and bullet points, but I'm without a proper computer so it is a little difficult to do so. Also, there is currently open bar karaoke happening, so that interferes as well.

EDIT: Exhibit hall pics AND Utility Belt stats and card

Dinner presentation! (VIDEO)

Another EDIT: I'm finally home and in front of a computer, so I converted the audio file into an mp3 format instead of an amr format

I'll try to do tomorrow's dinner presentation in video and I'll post the YouTube link here

Some highlights as I heard them. I may have gotten small details wrong, so check my work before repeating please.

-Small vehicles are two per super booster.

-Super boosters will be randomly counterweighted to make cherry picking impossible.

-No Man's Land is six months versus Infinity Gauntlet's eight months. Not sure if this is common knowledge.

-Streets Of Gotham's team packs are "equivalent" to three-figure team packs. Unclear what that means, but some may not have three figures?

-The large amount of product is presented as an answer to the growth curve of Heroclix. Basically the rep says that it's not a perfect solution, but it helps combat shortages based on unforeseen growth by immediately following it up with another release.

-Wizkids claims to be making a conscious effort to preview earlier to allow players to decide if they want to opt in or out, and hopefully to increase preorders.

-Streets Of Gotham has motorcycles.

-The Utility Belt and the Gas Pellets are both participation prizes for week one of No Man's Land.

-No Man's Land has a new map every month. The maps are two-sided. One side is an area before the earthquake, the other is the same map after the earthquake.

-The upcoming Batman board game uses Switchclix, which means that it includes sculpts of four Batman villains and a base for use with that game and a Heroclix base. The figures can be switched back and forth to be used in either game. They will have new dials and new sculpts, and are "very competitive, and editorially accurate in a way we haven't seen these characters before".

-Prime IS a new rarity. Figures with B versions are always Prime. They are "inter-rarity chase" figures. They are more rare than super rares, but sound like they are less rare than chases. It sounds like there will be one in each rarity. They do not replace chases.

-Mage Knight as a miniatures game is still being considered, possibly as a Switchclix product (a new game, but that will also include Heroclix-compatible dials). This may include one-inch role-playing-sized bases as well.

Thanks mutantwolf!

Bullet points, PLEASE! Though I'll probably have to listen anyway... : - )

thinking the motorcycles are the "equivalent" to team pack

double base bike and rider. i can get behind that.

Awesome. Just pure awesome.

Uh, it basically is bullet points.

Super booster will be randomly counter weighted to avoid cherry picking.


Does this mean I might get a chunk of random something so the weights are balanced?

#### me. Prime figures are even rarer than SR figures? So much for any hopes I had of getting Black Queen easily. I'm so glad to hear that we have even more chases.

It looked like a chunk of rectangular cardboard. There will be different weighted ones to throw off cherry picking. So your tank could be heavier than the Bug.

Also there are two different Tanks. Haunted and standard

did anyone get pics of the slideshow

SR primes are rarer than other SRs. No clue how Rare Primes compare to regular SRs, and so forth

ME TOO!! Any excuse to get more clix in a set gets a "Hell Yeah!" from yours truly.

Oh man, they showed the bat cave!!!
