  • If you're new to Heroclix, all the different types of figures can be a little confusing. What's the deal with prime figures, unique figures, chases and everything? How many can I add to my team? Golden Age... What's that about? In this video, I'll explain a few things about rarity and figures types.

    My first Prime was Mon-El in the SLOSH set in my first ever booster. My first chase was Spiderman Noir from a Brick of ASM I bought shortly after. My first (loose) chase wasn't until War of Light wave 1 where I got Ion. By far one of my favorite pieces even to this day. Reminiscing about all those early days is a lot of fun.

    I just got into Heroclix a few weeks ago and started watching your videos to help me learn. In my first or second booster that opened from the Marvel Avengers set I got the Hulk chase figure and a few days ago I got Spider Knight from Superior foes of Spider-Man. I feel pretty lucky now that I'm getting more into the game.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      Wow! That is some crazy luck. I can only wish you that it continues! Welcome to the Heroclix community and have fun! Thanks for watching and commenting.

    When I first started out, my brother bought me into a small tourney at this local comic shop. The type where a new set comes out and everyone opens a booster at a time and picks one person from said booster and then play with them. Mouthful, sorry forgot the name. Well I got to pick the booster and pick first from it and I pulled out the DP050 Wolverine and X-23. I could tell it was an important piece but having everyone sitting around me collectively gasp was a pretty nice signifier that I had something special on my hands.

  • @Fuzzywumple
    @Fuzzywumple Před 7 lety

    I was wondering why we hadn't heard from you in a while. now I know why. this is the best video by far. imaginative and amazing editing. I wish I had your editing skills. you do a better job explaining the game than Wizkid or anyone else. Thank you for these videos. First chase I ever pulled was Greed.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      Thank you very much, Fuzzywumple. That's a very nice compliment; glad you're enjoying the extra effort.
      Did you start playing with Trinity War or is Greed simply the first chase you pulled?

    • @Fuzzywumple
      @Fuzzywumple Před 7 lety

      First off I misspoke. It wasn't Greed it was Envy. I had to double check. Sorry for that.
      JLTW was the set where I purchased my first Brick. Before that I was only buying a couple of boosters at a time and playing off of donations from the friend whom introduced me to Clix. I think it was because JLTW was where I really started understanding the game and the subtle nuances in the rules, graduating from complete novice and becoming a more experienced player. JLTW was also the first set that I started playing competitively at the local comic book store (albeit until this year I was only able to play about twice a year).

    Was really pumped when I pulled Gandalf and Bilbo chase from The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug series.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      Oh, something from the "Other" category. Have you ever had the chance to play a truly "Hobbit" or "Ring" themed game? That must be interesting... Thanks for sharing.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety +1

      I did and commented it before thanking you here, actually ;o). Not bad at all for two foils and 5-figure booster. I had skipped the Nick Fury set and your video made take a closer look... Interesting stuff.

    • @allretroisfun9515

      The Tabletop Teacher yea I can't find the TMNT series 3 anywhere where in Chicago yet

    • @TheTabletopTeacher

      That's surprising! I would have thought Chicago to be teeming with Clix...

  • @williambrown5934
    @williambrown5934 Před 3 lety

    Well, my first Prime I pulled was a *Clock King* figure... this special ability to place a ‘bomb’ token within six squares of him or ‘blow one up’ to add a action token to adjacent figures... 40 points of an alright figure...
    I got one later I was thrilled about, *Dread Pool* ! I love that Prime to pieces lol.
    But only ever got ‘Excited’ about getting a figure twice.
    1.) Opened from a X-Men set, I got this (chase rare..?) Wolverine choice of 50 or 150 point value ‘headmaster’ figure I KNEW was in the set and REALLY wanted, and to my delight, actually pulled in a pack! A SUPER exciting moment for me, making him a PRIZE figure of mine!
    Such a AWESOME sculpt too Imo!
    2.) From X Forces set,
    Just a few days ago LOL
    The Basic Rare, Dead Pool in his X Force outfit, REALLY wanted him!! Super bad! Stored had only 3 of the boxes left; bought all three and in the last box, there he was! Omg still not over the excitement! Sure, *maybe not* a super special or in some/ most opinions, all THAT great figure but I love the figure and the sculpt is to me dynamite lol.
    And for 75 points, imo he’s AWESOME lol. But it’s my own opinion, I am not right, BUT I am not wrong as it IS just my opinion and I’m entitled to it.
    Love his full 7 clicks of teleport/ phasing.
    But yeah, twice in a set when I wanted some figure or another I KNEW was in the set, and really wanted and ACTUALLY got lol.
    My two fav figures for that reason (and I am happy enough with their dials and such lol).

  • @donutonahole
    @donutonahole Před 4 lety

    First chase I pulled was the SLOSH Guardian chase. Then I pulled my AOU Wave 1 Ultron chase a year later. Pulling a chase always feels like winning the lottery.

    @nicwilley1116 Před 7 lety

    My first prime was Abin Sur- I think the other guys were more excited than I was. But my first chase was Ricochet back in the day, when I was just collecting, before I knew how to play. Even before I knew it was a chase.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      Hehe... I think that must happen a lot: experienced players watching a newer player pull a chase or a prime and the new player doesn't "get it". Thanks for sharing that.

  • @naiselisor590

    @jeremiv6832 Před 6 lety +1

    I just recently got into heroclix and I got a brick of avengers vs defenders and I ended up getting my first chase from that with the hulk and pulled the super rare Hawkeye and the super rare hulk too I was pretty happy haha :D

  • @bsabruzzo
    @bsabruzzo Před 7 lety

    When I organize my home games, I usually have these ages:
    - Modern Age: Anything on the current sets
    - Golden Age: Any set, but just the figures
    - Silver Age: Everything from the game, including Feats, ATAs, Relics, Resources, Battlefield Conditions, Special objects
    I know that kind of flips the Golden and Silver ages around, but the silver age of comics was a wacky time and the golden age was a simple time, so it feels right to me.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      Why not? I think it's great in casual games to make things as comic-accurate as possible and your system make sense. Anyway, it's kind of counter-intuitive that Heroclix Golden Age includes Modern Age... Golden Age usually means retro, right? Thanks for watching and commenting.

  • @Exastasis

  • @thePrinceofFrogs
    @thePrinceofFrogs Před 5 lety

    What does a red ring and a blue ring on the base mean? Also I have a star fire with a yellow base and a venom with a white base what does that mean?

  • @Astral-Monk
    @Astral-Monk Před 6 lety

    I am new to the game and so far all I have gotten is a Unique figure of Romulan Commander from the Thor Ragnorok set :D I also pulled a Fenris Wolf super rare from the set which was awesome! :D

  • @chrisfernan1
    @chrisfernan1 Před 7 lety +3

    My first booster I ever bought was The Amazing Spider-Man. Pulled a prime Brother Voodoo. Remembered all those players wanting to buy him from me and my friend told me not to do it.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      Did it ever happen to you since? Have you seen a new player pull a chase or prime and not be too aware of how precious that character is? I see in some unboxing videos every once in a while, but I haven't seen it live yet. Thanks for watching and commenting.

  • @focoalex
    @focoalex Před rokem

    I think my first prime was the black queen in the Batman set. First unique was Quasar and Thanos in Infinity Challenge, and first chase was E-2 Superman from Crisis

  • @nicolasjrinear
    @nicolasjrinear Před 7 lety

    My first chase was Persuader from Teen Titans, I sold that puppy so fast once I realized I could get more CUR with the moolah. That's pretty much still my strategy, though I have kept a couple chases, like Cap's Motorcycle and Mr. Fantastic from Galactic Guardians.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      You sold it right away? I have so much trouble doing that ;o). But your strategy is certainly a good one. Thanks for sharing.

  • @matheuscypriano3771
    @matheuscypriano3771 Před 3 lety

    Hi. I guess I have a prime Wolverine from Ultimate X. But there is no green circle but a green base below the black base. It's old, so the entire base is smaler.

  • @gusatdaysend321
    @gusatdaysend321 Před 5 lety

    my first ever booster i bought last year had an odin the destroyer.
    one question tho, is it considered poor sportsmanship if I use a single heavy hitting, standard based fig in a casual game? (like NFOAS Hulk, or red son superman + a 20 pt. support fig)

    • @focoalex
      @focoalex Před rokem

      No. It's fine to use a one man army team

  • @Jay-pi7rd
    @Jay-pi7rd Před 4 lety

    why do some of them have different base dynamics I have a spiderman but his base turns and looks different than the others i have? some of my figures have flat thin dials and some look like Oreos without cream

  • @jgator10
    @jgator10 Před 6 lety +1

    My first and only booster of jokers wild I pulled Jakeem thunder and then I pulled a goblin king from what if. After that I played at NC state ROC and placed 16th got a pair of roc dice and the roc light object. I think I did pretty good for a guy who hasn't even been playing a year yet

  • @GideonWyatt
    @GideonWyatt Před 7 lety +1

    Just started playing in November and my wife bought a smww booster for advent and I pulled the red son Wonder Woman chase and the rival common prime from flash. And for Christmas I got a brick of smww and got the red lantern Supergirl SR prime and a brick of flash and pulled the black lantern zoom SR prime.
    Been pretty lucky with my pulls so far.

  • @2mirandir
    @2mirandir Před 7 lety

    Do they still do rares as in game store-/Mass market-exclusives on some of the gravity feed bosters?
    as they did with the movie licenses a few years back. (when I was still buying boosters)

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      Indeed they do. You might enjoy the unboxing of TMNT wave 2: czcams.com/video/E1Er1IMZ6i4/video.html (but I'm thinking I might have misunderstood your question). Thanks for watching and commenting.

  • @Redalert8901
    @Redalert8901 Před 7 lety +1

    I just started and my first chase was Ultron (Phalanx), is he good enough to run as a one man army of 300 points?

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety +1

      Wow! Most certainly... Especially with those two stop clicks (clicks 7 & 8) with crazy combat values, it's hard to go wrong. It might not be all that much fun to play, though. The game can be easily lop-sided this way. If it's casual play, give your opponent a heads up if you want to have some fun... You don't just stumble upon Ultron with a rag-tag team of characters you want to try out ;o). Mind you, as a one man army, Ultron's Leadership will be useless and he doesn't have move and attack powers until his 4th click. That'll offer your opponent a couple of opportunities. But as soon as he becomes colossal on click 7, it will be very hard for casual players to defeat him, that's for sure. Have fun!

  • @TheOmniscientCow
    @TheOmniscientCow Před 7 lety

    After opening all those bricks, did you calculate your distributions of rares, chase, and primes?

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      Here's the stats I can calculate from the Joker's Wild three bricks I unboxed on this channel:
      50% Common
      29% Uncommon
      12% Rare
      7% Super Rare
      1% Chase
      1% Prime
      That third brick was pretty lucky, though. If I add in the Uncanny X-Men brick, the stats are as follows:
      49.5% C
      29% U
      12.5% R
      6.5% SR
      1.5% Ch
      1.5% P
      Can't wait to see how Deadpool and the X-Force will affect those stats (there are more figures in that set than the last few sets).

  • @nbehring09
    @nbehring09 Před 7 lety

    my son and I are new to the game and we have noticed that there​ are small, medium and large HeroClix. I know the biggest one seem to be sold separately but how do you get some of the other sizes?

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety +1

      Welcome to the game! The only giant character I found in the latest Deadpool set is a chase Champion Pool. Most giants are part of regular sets and are sometimes not that much larger than standard-sized characters. The colossal characters don't fit in regular boosters and can be found in sets that offer Super Boosters. Superman/Wonder Woman was the last set to offer those. On the Marvel side, there was the Hulkbuster that was offered in several different parts (assembly required ;o) in the Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.E.I.L.D. set. As you mentioned, some colossal characters are available at retail (like Supreme Intelligence, for instance).
      Thanks for watching and feel free to ask questions when need be!

  • @HAVOK586
    @HAVOK586 Před 7 lety +1

    My first chase was somewhere around Marvel Infinity and it was Johnny Ell, which was basically an altered Morlock.

      @HAVOK586 Před 7 lety +1

      The Tabletop Teacher yeah, my whole collection doesn't go past Marvel Ultimates (which is actually the set my chase in question is from). I'm looking to get back into the game, so your channel has been a massive help.

  • @jibedaettis3562
    @jibedaettis3562 Před 7 lety

    My first chase is an unbelievable story. I came back to the game about 12 years later after i found a coworker who was also involved. So i just bought 3 boosters of WF just to check what new figures would look like and the first booster I open was strange cause the figures I saw were awesome, at first glance I immediately recognize kingdom come characters. Wonder Woman , Batman, Spectre, Shazam and Green Lantern were here. I didn't understand on the moment that was not regular and I naively thought that was normal but I understand the odds of it after I've open my two others booster. I m probably the luckiest heroclix player in the world.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      For that to happen on your return to the game... Has to be a million to one! Wow. Do you always roll critical hits when it really counts on top of that ;o). Thanks for watching and commenting.

    I have a blue beetle with a blue ring around, is it prime or unique?

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 6 lety +1

      That's probably a much older figure... There were Rookie, Exeprienced and Veteran figures in early days of the game. That Blue Beetle is most likely one of them.

    • @joony02
      @joony02 Před 6 lety

      yeah, it's from Hypertime edition, 2002 if I'm not mistaken. I'll take a look into it, thanks maestro

  • @jennings17soco
    @jennings17soco Před 6 lety

    A suggestion for a future video. Perhaps how to combine old school figures (without cards) with modern figures, because it gets confusing with keywords and such.
    If this is explained somewhere please let me know. I only recently started playing again as an adult, but back when I did play 15 years ago there were no cards. Now there are a lot more rules (and exceptions) than I remember.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 6 lety

      Welcome back to the game! I'll be doing a video on keywords at some point, for sure.

    my fist chase was Pride for dc trinity war and i only got one booster. But the next day i went back and got one more and i got the super rear prime Nick Necro. 'YAY!' but i still don't have the none prime.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

  • @CarlosSuarezBlkWolf
    @CarlosSuarezBlkWolf Před 7 lety

    My first Chase Figure was Wolverage from The Incredible Hulk set in 2012. I did trade the chase for a Superman Chase which was Superman in the black costume. I still have the Superman Chase today.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      That was a very good trade! I loved those Servants of the Great Darkness figures... I pulled Kalibak and Guardian and I had fun with those. Thanks for sharing.

    • @CarlosSuarezBlkWolf
      @CarlosSuarezBlkWolf Před 7 lety

  • @matthewrandell5055
    @matthewrandell5055 Před 7 lety

    No mention of White Rabbit? ;) Probably for the best
    We haven't had much luck pulling Primes. Traded for the WXM Deathlok and for the SFSM Hydro-Man (who I love). My favourites we actually managed to pull are Alyosha Kraven, Sunfire, and Thanosi.

    • @matthewrandell5055
      @matthewrandell5055 Před 7 lety

      Totally forgot about the white-suited WXM Magneto I've never played it at full points but I love the look of that figure

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety +1

      Yeah... I opted to leave the Ultra chase out of the explanation since there's only White Rabbit for now. Although I understand there's another Ultra Chase figure coming in Deadpool and the X-Force.
      Memories of Thanosi... When I got him, I decided to concentrate on DC Comics figures for budgetary reasons. So I sold Thanosi. I still regret that today ;o).
      Thanks for your fantastic participation in the conversation, Matthew!

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 6 lety

      Wow! Those were amazing prizes! Good for you. Now, it would be wise not to expect prizes of that magnitude all the time, though. It's an incredibly fun game, even without prizes ;o).

  • @2mirandir
    @2mirandir Před 7 lety

    The first chase I got was all five chases from the Batman set in a single 5 fig booster. A so called "God Pack". :) And I've come to regret that ever since. As pretty much all chases, with a few exceptions, that I've pulled has been broken. :(

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      Wow! I don't know if I would wish for "God Packs" to come back or not. Getting one is certainly amazing, but your opponents getting one... not so much ;o). Imagine this happening in a sealed event! So sorry about your broken pulls. Statistically, your luck should change in the future (poor consolation, I know). Thanks for watching and commenting.

      You've found me out! I decided some time ago to concentrate my Heroclix collection on the DC side, but I intend to change that with the upcoming Deadpool and the X-Force (expect an unboxing of a case). That's also why I unboxed an Uncanny X-Men brick a few videos ago. I try to include Marvel figures and other collections as much as I can, but I often don't have the figures I need to support the examples I want to offer. Hopefully, this will change soon. But in my defense, since the Joker's Wild is the most recent set, I opted to showcase those figures a little more so that newer players would recognize their collection in the videos. Glad you still enjoyed the videos and know that your request has been heard... You should see a little more Marvel in March. Thanks for watching.

      They're nice to collect! I would suggest playing them only with other YGO figures for your games to be balanced. They are not Modern Age and cannot be played in tournaments, unless the event specifically allows them.

    Omega Batman, LOVE the sculpt but hate the dial.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      That is an amazing sculpt, indeed! I was just looking at the dial on HCRealms and it seems interesting; true, the Cardinal Configuration special power seems a little underwhelming (it would have needed to be unavoidable or at least penetrating damage to be really worth the extra cost in points), but apart from that, it seems very powerful. The Knight's Move trait + Ultimate Condition combo seems pretty brutal. 5 damage with Impervious on the last clicks is scary stuff. I've never played him, so I don't really have the experience (I don't know what I'm talking about is what I'm saying), so I'll take your word for it. Thanks for watching and participating.

  • @chainer8686
    @chainer8686 Před 7 lety

    aren't prime, super rares, and chases 'stronger' compared to common similarly point cost figures? I remember seeing something like that on the realms forums when I was first getting into the game.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      More often than not, that is true. But there's the occasional common, uncommon or rare that's an exception to that "rule". Generally speaking, a chase figure offers more bang for the point; one would imagine that the same figure with lower rarity would cost more points, but it's more of an unwritten rule than anything as there is no clear point-cost formula to refer to. The prime figures are usually very "strong" or offer something that if duplicated would make the game completely unbalanced... Imagine having Anarky (JW003b) twice on your team - there wouldn't be a single square left where a bomb couldn't be triggered. Some SR are fantastic, some are much less so. The 50 point Fast Forces Jean Grey for instance is "common" and amazingly good... A much stronger piece than several SR, primes and chases. But in essence, you are right.

    Why arent the yugioh figures considered golden age by some?

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      If you look at how the sets are organized on HCRealms.com, you'll see that Yu-Gi-Oh! sets are not part of the Golden Age category, but of the "Other" category. YGO is in the same category as Star Trek Tactics and Mage Knight; sets that have different team abilities and rule variants, that make casual play a little more complicated. If I remember correctly, before the last rotation, the latest Yu-Gi-Oh! set was not Modern Age legal even if it was released in May 2015. That could one reason some players don't see those sets as part of the Golden Age category. Mind you, I doubt you'll ever find a player that wouldn't accept that you have a Yu-Gi-Oh! figure on your team in casual play. Some call the non-Marvel/non-DC figs "Other Age", but it's not an official thing.

      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      That's a shame. I'm looking at Wrath's dial and powers right now and he seems awesome! Mystics and Quintessence are always great. I just imagined three characters attacking him (perhaps missing with a bit of luck), and his damage value just goes by +1 for each attack (because those characters now wave a wrath token and Battle Fury); that's a potential 7 damage on Charge. Not necessarily easy to pull off, but when you... Wouch!

  • @paulcoy9060
    @paulcoy9060 Před 7 lety

    You know what I hate ? Power Princess (Avengers 31b) is a Prime Hyperion (Invincible Iron Man 41b) is a Prime. This means that the two most powerful characters from the Squadron Supreme that I own, can't be on THE SAME GODDAM TEAM???!!!!????
    This is poor planning on WizKids' part. So I House Rule it that if the characters have the same keyworded Team, they can be on the same team even if they are Primes, because, Comicbooks.

    • @TheTabletopTeacher
      @TheTabletopTeacher  Před 7 lety

      House Rules? Yeah, sure. Why not? To factor in the fact you're using two primes, though, you could perhaps consider a point penalty for you or a point above Build bonus for your opponent. Since primes are really strong, this could somewhat outweigh the advantage of having two primes (again, house rules only). With Hyperion on his 200 point starting and Power Princess at 150, for a total of 350, you could allow your opponent to build a 400 points team and you keep your build at 350. I don't know... Something to explore, perhaps. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    • @paulcoy9060
      @paulcoy9060 Před 7 lety

      In consideration of gameplay, yes, but why should I have to accommodate WizKids' lack of foresight if I want my Squadron Supreme team be be accurate? The non-Prime version of Power Princess is (31a) Moonstone, so why didn't they just switch their designations? I don't have the Whizzer from the Squadron, but I bet he's a Prime too, right? I'll have to use my Whizzer from the Invaders, he's got a similar costume. I'll keep binge watching your stuff!
