Always remember, we were Heroes.
I suspect there will be alot of silly whinging about the lack of stuff for people who already own everything.
But ... that VIP starter is NICE. I'm already VIP, been a subscriber for years, but if I was a new player, this would get me in the door. Good going.
Nice to see the Martial Arts Super Pack available in full form. I am now sad that I bought Ninja Run by itself last month ...

In that preview icon, those are samurai pieces, not ninja/warrior pieces. The samurai stuff is a vet reward.

Awesome deal on the VIP starter, I may actually make a third account for poos & snorts.
A little disappointed that character slots aren't reduced in price, but hey..... a lot of good stuff here. I know I'll be getting the Invention License on my second account this Friday or Saturday.
Uuuuhh, is it just me, or does the Martial Arts booster pic use some of the samurai art set pieces?
-Edit: Bah, beaten. S'what I get for double and triple checking, and pondering whether I should even post or not...
To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine the light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be....
I'm sorry what was that, I couldn't hear you over my TRAGIC PAST!!
If the storage stuff had been discounted, you might have gotten some money from me. As is, I am getting nothing that's been posted. Either I already have it or I don't use/need it.
EDIT: Though it's sad that it has to be a "black friday" sale to see reasonable points numbers...

This.
But I was hoping for some enhancement storage increases on sale this weekend
Ah well, more points to save up I guess.

They should really change the icon though, none of those pieces are/should be included in that pack.

Holy crap. I like some of this stuff. I need to figure out first what I want to do and what to buy! But I am _totally_ down with buying all sorts of this stuff. The 400 point kincom sets and lotg sets look nice! Yeah, I have tons of amerits, but I would rather save them for %3 def for the bills. 
Lots of the 30-50 point stuff I am going to buy too!

I agree that the consumables should stay at this level.
Windfall also really needs to specify exactly what it does. I might buy it at that price, but I need to know what drop rates it increases, and how much. Inf gain isn't appealing to me at all-- most of my inf comes from selling IO drops. This has the potential to be the one existing consumable I would buy repeatedly, but I'm not going to buy it blind.
That VIP starter kit is a great idea, I hope that's at the top of the email you send out to the Freems about this.
I'm really glad you're having this sale, I hope it turns out well for you!
Edit in response to Zwillinger: Woohoo! I really hope it works out well, then, because I think in the long run it will make you more money.
Please try my custom mission arcs!

So the ninja run is 500 points and the Martial Arts Super Booster including ninja run is 400 points. Is the price point for the latter permanent or is it just for Black Friday?

From the sound of people in this thread, they would have liked to vote with their dollar concerning the price of storage items as well.

From what I've heard, I deduce they're using "Black Friday" as an excuse to try out new prices on items that weren't selling and if they sell well with the cheap prices, they'll keep the prices low.

Hmm, consumables and/or IO sets, not interested in any of those, ever.
And, of course, I already own everything else. :P
Great pricing on them though, that is a pricing that would entice people, I do believe!

You might want to specify that, since it looks like it is just being introduced at that pricepoint (ie. no red sale text).

I was getting ready to close down and start getting ready for bed, I work the overnights during the Christmas season, when I decided to take a look at the forums.
What I saw made me let out a very loud "OMG, OMG, OMG"
Respecs on sale, Kin Combats on sale, LOTG sets on sale....I, I don't know how much to thank you all who had fingers in this pie.
Lisa-Very happy camper.
So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself

***Dennis DeYoung
well no one else has said it yet,
ZOMG, PAY TO WIN DOOOOOOOOOM
But seriously, pay for LotG and Kinetic Combats might be either the most brilliant idea ever, or the most diabolically evil, brilliant idea ever... We ALL use LotG, ever single one of us that has a defense build, even if it's just maneuvers. Kinetic combat, is a major component both in Stone Tanks, and in almost EVERY melee build because of the 3.75% defense...
I will be looking into this, jsut becuase I want to see how it works out for a Taskforce specific build (the ability to scale up and down on a LotG is sweeeet), but I am not sure it is a precedent we want, especially since LotG are basically the nonpurple purple...
