Thing I'll miss about Going Rogue

...is that when it comes out, there won't be any accompanying HeroClix figures.

One of the reasons I picked up the Collector's Edition of COV was to get the cool HeroClix figures. Now that WizKids Games is gone, my Statesman figure will have to fight a never-ending battle against DC and Marvel villains, but no Tyrant or other Praetorian characters.

Will anyone else miss their HeroClix inserts? Am I the only one?

I think my dog ate mine.

Actually, Magoo, Topps is bringing the game back with a new line.

They're then planning on selling the concept, intellectual property, lock stock and barrel to the highest bidder.

Really? Where'd you see that?

I want more Heroclix as well.

Heroclix Realms. My boyfriend frequents the site. Some insider is talking about it. The Hamer of Thor set.

They were nice to look at. But I hated the game. The combat rules made no sense. Walk up to the enemy and then wait till next turn to punch them. Well since you moved up to them first, they now get a free hit on you. WHAT THE CRAP?! Even better, if you attack instead of skipping your next turn, you take a click of damage. Yay for people who don't know how to make a good game.

I enjoyed them as figures to display. I never played the game though.

I got the entire range (I think) in my CoV box!

Hmm, I wonder if they'll be worth something someday...

I just use them for display too. Or to have imaginary match-ups with characters from different sets. One of my favorite match-ups is to have the heroes go up against some of my WOW minis. Somehow, setting up Statesman to go up against a couple of giant axe-wielding Draenei is very compelling.

I also use some of my kids' discarded toys and then mix and match with some of my other minis. It's kinda neat to have hero mini Masterminds that control Digimon; since they're not in-game I make them happen on my desktop!

Still, it woulda been nice to have an official Tyrant set, or maybe a nice 5th Column set that included a Reichmann figurine. I'd have Statesman and Captain America team up to kick some fascist butt!
