An amazing series of tournaments is scheduled to begin in July 2007 to coincide
with the release of the Marvel™ HeroClix: Avengers set. This worldwide
tournament event called “The Coming of Galactus” is specifically designed to
provide challenging play for both HeroClix veterans and younger players.
“This unprecedented event is designed to offer an engaging gaming experience
with high stakes for HeroClix players and comic fans. Because of the extremely
limited way that this colossal Galactus will be offered, it will be the most
collectable piece we have ever done,” said WizKids® President
Lax Chandra. “It will all take place in the optimal environment for such an
event ‹ the retail stores that support the Marvel HeroClix: Avengers release,
which we promise will be full of surprises.”
The initial round of events will feature never-before-seen participation
prizes and an updated, contemporary repaint of the ever-popular Marvel HeroClix
Galactus colossal figure as the grand prize. The Marvel HeroClix Galactus figure
will not be sold or offered as a retail item by WizKids.
The six-week event will be run as follows:
Weeks 1 – 4
* Each week, retailers will run two Sealed events: one for young HeroClix
players and one for older HeroClix players. The youth-oriented events will be
run using simplified HeroClix rules.
* Each week, participants will receive an all-new, exclusive HeroClix “Herald of
Galactus” sculpt, beginning with the Silver Surfer™! Players will not want to
miss a week because they can swap a figure pulled from a Sealed Booster with the
Herald they received the previous week!
Week 5
HeroClix players ages 14 and under will play in a Sealed event. The
winner will receive the updated HeroClix Galactus colossal figure!
Week 6
All HeroClix players will participate in an event to receive the second Marvel
HeroClix Galactus, using WizKids’ official tournament rules.
More details on the Coming of Galactus event will be announced soon, with the
full plan announced sometime in April. Fans of WizKids’ other HeroClix lines
won’t be left out, as another “conqueror from the stars” (could it be Starro?!)
attacks in September 2007 and another six-week event series
begins!
