Posted by lordofthemarsh on Today at 2:45pm This is a rule change: ALL FIGURES CAN ATTACK! It's a house rule with me, and the games are a lot more fun. Clear boosters, and go back to three figs per pack. |
Another fan of clear boosters. I like you already. By the way, welcome aboard.

All right everybody i have a majorly important reason why boosters should not be clear
-If boosters are clear then you will only buy the boosters with guys you want. Thus there will be many left over bosters in stores ex. whos gonna buy a pack with rebel leader in it when a pack with yoda or qui-gon is right behind it. Thus stores would stop buying from attacktix becuz 1/4 of the packs wont sell. Then we will go into another attacktix drought like the one we are in now. and.........
NO ONE WANTS THAT

NO ONE WANTS THAT That's pretty much how I feel about a collectible game like this, but not everyone agrees. I'd love more blind boosters, but at this point I'll take anything. I just want something new.

Something to be aware of (pointed out to me by vamspapi) is the new set called Bakugan. slideshow.ivillage.com/parenting/hot_toys/hottest_toys_in_08/post_558.htmlThey have boosters and starters with some of the figures 100% blind, others with the faction known, and others totally visible. Might be something for Hasbro to make note of, apparently they're been hyped quite a bit.

Thought I'd do a little necromancy. ;D I found this to be uber cool. In February, Wizkids started packaging non-random assortments of figure for mass market consumption. There are rumored to be 22 assortments in the pipe line, 6 of which are currently available, ToysRUs for instance. On top of that, they are repacking some of the licensed HorrorClix lines as NonClix simple board games. They’re banking on people just loving the intelectual property and impulse buying them. Heck, I’ll be buying them for Heroscape conversions, but to each his own I guess. I can confirm 2 Fantastic Four, 1 Punisher, and 2 Iron Movie Packs are currently available. The suggested retail is $6.99 for the classic Marvel and $7.99 for the Iron Man Movie Packs. Figures I've Seen Already in Stores: Marvel Classic Mr Fantastic (with gun) Invisible Woman Thing (with hot dog kart) Human Torch Dr Doom Mole Man Spiderman (on lamp pole) Punisher (with chain gun) Dr. Octopus Iron Man Movie Iron Man Iron Monger Ultimate Nick Fury Ultimate Black Widow Crimson Dynamo Iron Man (helmet removed) Now tell me how this wouldn't work for Attacktix?

You lost me a bit there (too much thinking make Attacktixman head hurt) , but I think I get the general gist of it. This certainly would drive the per figure cost up for Tix, but the cost to get an entire Series would not be much more since the "Oh my I got four Beasts but still want a Captain America, let me buy another booster" scenario would be gone. It would take away some of the fun and excitement of blind boosters but at the same time should cut down on boostering. Oh well, doesn't really matter cuz "Ding dong, Tix are dead"...

This thread has 3x as many views as the eBay page and 1/30 of the pages. something seems off. Perhaps this tread or a picture in it was linked to something we are unaware of?

So here is a thought....Attacktix Subscriptions. Hasbro mails out a figure once a month like a magazine subscription. It is a special deco with different points, class, power, ratio, ext and is only available though the membership subscription program. And starting every year in January, you will also get 1 of 12 pieces towards building a Super Mega figure. They could snap together and be like the droid factory with the normal star wars figures. Perhaps an AT-AT, or Galactus, or Unicron. They could even release a Star Wars, Marvel, Transformer in rotation, one every season. They could also use this to introduce other "worlds" into Attacktix. GI Joe, Indiana Jones, Toy Story would be fun for the kids to play with. Other classic Hasbro stuff would be an interesting addition. Any cross promotions with classic Hasbro/Hasbro Family Game night would be possible. Battleships, Mr Potato Head, the Operation guy, The Monopoly guy, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Risk generals, My Little Pony w/ missile launchers, Magic the Gathering Characters, or others. Or possibly even consider previous properties who have worked with Hasbro; Dr. Who, Monsters Inc, Pokemon, Guitar Hero, Stargate, or others.

You know i don't know if its true with anyone else,but it seems like tix not only sold well,but were always sold out!! the thing is they would expect us to buy the same figs for like 4-5 months or more without introducing new ones.I don't think it was at all a matter of them not selling,but of hasbro not giving us more figs,and it's not like the majority of us didnt buy continous boosters till we got EVERY figure an had like 40 beasts or stormtroopers.Come on hasbro.give tix another shot. And radar love the idea of my little pony with missle launchers.May have to make that into a custom and my idea is to make them again i think it would make attacktix better if they were in production.
