I use to play and collect HeroClix until the company was sold to Topps and the Tournaments rules changed so that some of the older miniatures were declared illegal. It was a move designed to encourage newer customers at the expense of the original customers,

Sorry but you are wrong,

Some Heroclix sets are retired each year, these sets are only retired for official tournaments like at Wizard world. This is done to keep an even playing field with the most curent figures and rules. Its up to a local venue to have whatever rules they want. Most venues have no ristrictions and you can play whatever you want old or new, the only exception would be for certain events that happen every now and then.

I have been playing Heroclix for the past 4 years; I have been a judge for the past 2 years. I am a big collector and have most of them. The only ones I’m missing are the early special ones, that are hard to get and pricey. Heroclix is what got me into COV/COH, now I love them both. On the COH/COV Heroclix they are not that great of play wise pieces, the sculpts are good and the stats I think represent them well. In a tournament setting there are really only 2 pieces that are good ghost widow (has a high defense and can heal) and Captain Mako (cheap point wise figure that has some good stats) The other ones are ok but point wise there are better figures for the points. I wish they would do more cross promotion between the 2 but it looks like they wont.
