I started to buy those things, and never really ended up playing the game. So I was basically collecting them for a while, but it just go too expensive, for all the crap characters i was getting. So I gave up. *end transmission*

I prolly have that many, and twice as many Mage Knight. Never set them all up in one place like that, though, looks like a lilliputian swarm!
You can check www.wizkidsgames.com for venues in your area, even do players searches, but those don't usually turn up too much. I know there are MI players that frequent the forums there.
I may be interested in some of your dupes, especially any Uniques. Nons I need are primarily from the DC Unleashed and Marvel Critical Mass sets.
Just off the top of my head:
U's
Weapon X
Sauron
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Spiderman
Mr. Fixit
Hulk
Hecate
Nons
E Dr. Strange
Deathstroke
Raven
Brood Queen
Brood Warrior
Countless others...
LMK what you're looking for, I may be able to help you out.
I may end up being an Envoy come september... I don't play nemore, so anyone that would want the LE's they give out I'll give em to you for uber-cheap if I get a spot.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That'd be cool. The only reason I don't get any LEs really is the obnoxious prices people want for them.Quote:

And as for checking local listings, etc. - eh. I'd rather play with friends I know, not a bunch of 14 year old punk kids or other people who live and breath it.... I saw one tournament at a Wizards of the Coast that used to be here in town, and it was a fest of "The Comic Book Guys" from the simpsons, arguing with a bunch of kids who their mom dropped them off while shopping in the mall. [img]wink.gif[/img]
NES - I'll check... I only have like two dupe uniques, Parasite from DC and Wasp from Marvel. I may have some of those others, let me look tonight.
pairadocs, man I just looked at Epay for that Galactus, WOW I really had no idea [img]tongue.gif[/img] I just thought it would be cool to get one, didn't realize he was made of gold [img]wink.gif[/img] I was mistaking the Sentinals in the back row with a quick glance, as Galactus, oh how wrong I was [img]eek.gif[/img]
Yeah Galactus is a tough one. He was at a convention earlier this year, and will be at cons this summer. You gotta get a voucher a half hour before open of con, then you can stand in line and buy it for $75. He's friggin Huge too... like three times bigger than the sentinels.
I've seen them sell upwards of $400 on ebay. No friggin' way for me! [img]smile.gif[/img]
I played against a Galactus... took quite a bit of work, but I beat the big bastard. I quit shortly afterwards [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I got the newest Inquest mag, and they had a little price guide... turns out these dang things are getting quite valuable!
I have all full sets except for the last marvel and dc releases (and about half of the IndyClix set). I had to stop, as it's an expensive hobby to be a completist in. (I only have a few LE's... not interested in all those).
The thing that totally sucks, is I have no one to play it with around here!!!! Ugh.
These are my non-duplicates...(this was taken befor I stopped, and I had gotten more after this... like the Indys, etc.)

I have a TON of dupes/extras if anyone here collects them... I'd like to get rid of the extras. Send me a message with what you're looking for, and I'll see if I can help ya out.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Already in the mail. [img]wink.gif[/img] I get ToyFare - it was in there. I have most of Wizard's Clix exclusives except for the last few... kingdom Come Shazam, and whichever IndyClix one they did. I have the Leaping/pooping Hulk, GL, Beserker Wolvie and Superman.Quote:

I have an extra Shazam! mailaway if you want him.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah actually I do!Quote:

Let me get my list of extra put together, and maybe we can work out a trade?
Max is interested too, so I'm gonna assemble a list and then make it available to those interested.
Mad props to y'allz. Or something like that...
Heroclix confuse me to no end. I just want a little version of the original Justice League, Swamp Thing, and Hellboy (but aren't there multiple Hellboys?). Oh yeah! And Lobster Johnson! They made him, right? Anyone within the Hellboy universe. I don't want to play with them. I just want to own them [img]biggrin.gif[/img] ...
Yeah, in IndyClix (a rather sucky set, but some good characters) - theres Hellboy in Rookie, Exp. and Vet., then theres a horned Unique version. Theres also an REV Lobster Johnson.
I may have some dupes of him, let me check on that.
I would be very interested in Marvel ones. Let me go through the list and see what I need.
Stay away !!! Those are mine ! http://www.hostboard.com/forums/ http://www.hostboard.com/forums/ http://www.hostboard.com/forums/
I'll probably be intrested in a few, more DC really though. Although I would take a Lobster J and Hellboy if you've got spares. Wasn't there and Abe and Liz too? Roger maybe?
OK, I've got a long list of stuff I'd be interested in. If you could let me know what you have and what you'd want for it, we'll go from there.
I only collect, so any level is just fine. I can supply pics of any of them if neccessary.
Infinity Challenge
Cyclops
Daredevil
Elektra
Hulk
Jean Grey
Xavier
Rogue
Spider-Man
Vulture
Wolverine
Clobberin' Time
Sandman
Iceman
Critical Mass
Archangel
Daredevil
Kraven
Rhino
Venom
Spider-Man
Ultimates
Ghost Rider
Lizard
Mysterio
Punisher
Spider-Man
Like I said, if you need pics to make sure it's the right one (for the characters with multiple Clix), just let me know.
I have no Critical Mass figs, and Ultimates is just now hitting the shelves... I may be collecting those, not sure yet.
It's gonna take me a few days to assemble a list... I have two boxes of dupes I gotta catalog. I'll make a post when ready... then we can set up stuff via email. Max and NEStromo have first dibs, then anyone else...
On first glance, I don't have many extra IndyClix, since I just got a bunch of boosters then quit those.... no extra Hellboys or Lobsters that I can see. I think those are the only Hellboy characters in the set... not 100% sure though as I didn't follow that one too big.
I have tons of Marvel Infinity Challenge, Xplosion and Clobberin Time, plus DC Hypertime and Cosmic Justice.
Sounds good!
WOW. They actually made an official Punisher Clix ? I am getting really pumped up by all this stuff [img]eek.gif[/img]

It's hard to collect specific characters as they're randomly inserted into the boxes and you don't know what you're getting at retail POP, and eBay buying gets expensive.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">??? Roger Falcone maybe?Quote:

Peter, I looked over your list and the only dupe I have is a Spider-Man:

Welcome to my addiction... [img]eek.gif[/img]
NES .. yeah just checked the official website and saw that too. I think I am gonna get hooked too. Maybe I won't play but definitely try an dfind as many as possible [img]wink.gif[/img]
I guess you have them all or just about right ?
Actually, I'm only about halfway to 1 full set. I quit buying them retail when my daughter was born last Fall, and have only been getting more through trading since then. They have trading forums on their website, and if you get the lower end LE's off of eBay for cheap there's usually someone who will trade in your favor for them. A lot of the diehard players have been dropping out over things like the poor distribution of Galactus, constant rules changes, and figure retirement, so you can find lots to catch up with for a fraction of what you'd pay to put a collection together buying boxes.
I started collecting these when they first came out, and it got quite expensive. To fill my sets, I used to go on trader forums, and I have a few old friends from there who I have done a lot of trading with. I used to buy a case of 48 booster, equalling almost 200 figures, and still couldn't make a set of 96. 1 case usually yielded about 5-6 uniques, usually out of 12. I do have full sets of Infinity Challenge, Clobberin' Time (including the ultra rae Nightcrawler), Xplosion, plus DC Hypertime and 3 shy of a full set of Hypertime. Then I have about 2/3 of the IndyClix set. I bought some loose DC Unleashed... not interested in that set much. Cosmic Justice has a few good ones, like Venom, but that's about when I stopped.
The new Marvel Ultimates set looks pretty cool, and I may get these. They did raise the price of boosters though, to $6.50-8 depending on where you get them... for 4 random figs. I used to be able to get them for like $3.50-4.50 a booster online on the older sets. Yikes!!
EDIT: Just one a set of the Ultimates, with no uniques, (84 figs) for about the price of 11 boosters! Not too shabby... now I can just hold off and get the uniques as I see deals on ebay. WAY cheaper than trying to make a set the old-fashioned way! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Yeah, I am starting to see the big picture. It will take a looong time, but resources are out there and Ebay seems to have pretty much everything it's only a matter of price.
I wanted a while back to start collecting from the boxes too, but a few friends told me it will just help you pile up a lot of dibs of little value and yes they also told me that the trading is the way to go once you have a few spares.
I kinda would like to bite myself. I should have started way long ago this madness [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You're not kidding. I just won a handful of U's and LE's, with more by tonight probably, for a fraction of what they've been going for. Combine a holiday weekend with the flood of newly released stuff, and you're sure to get steals on prior releases, especially lots. Keep these factors in mind when you go to sell, too.Quote:

So far I got my Divebomber, Hepzibah, and Calypso LE's for $20 shipped, vs. $10-$15 each that I've seen previously.
On the way are the Xavier and Cyclops U's from IC, Spiderman U from XP, Darkseid U from HT, and an Elektra LE for under $35. The market is at a low at the moment.
Just do me a favor and don't go outbidding ropcer. [img]mad.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

ditto to you. [img]wink.gif[/img]
And hey... what do you want for that extra Shazam! ?
I can't ask too much for him - it may be an LE, but it's not hard to come by. Any one Unique would probably be a fair trade, or a handful of REV's from your dupes. I've been meaning to go over my lists again to streamline my higher priorities.
I tried to do some bargain hunting Sunday night and ended up bidding $22 on a MK LE that I really don't need. Don't tell the wife... In two weeks I blew my toy budget for the next 4-5 months. I should get a bigger toy budget...
I'll keep an eye out for that handle. Hopefully you weren't up for any of those I put bids on this weekend. [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

I ended up winning a Shazam for like $7... so I guess I don't need him anymore... but thank you!
I also got Unleashed Uniques - Bat Sentry ($7) and General (99 cents!!) and Mr.Bones ($3)
Ultimates Uniques - Vindicator and Magneto, plus some LEs for like $6 a piece.
not too shabby...
hey guys, I have a handful of them. I started getting them, then realized that since I have nobody to play with I should stop wasting money on them. However, if anyone has an extra Venom, I would like to trade for that. Let me see what I have later today.

One day I'll find someone who will play it with me. I keep trying to talk the wife into it... but she'll probably pick teams based on "how cute" certain characters are. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I figure its better for me to never start than to play and quit years later. I still have thousands of Magic cards in a box somewhere.
Well, yeah. Magic sucks. These are toys dammit!
