I think Hulk has a decent chance of arriving in June. Rumors are that Rest of World retailers will be receiving Hulk on time just like BW and DS and if that happens, US/Can will likely get him sooner rather than later also.

That certainly wouldn’t shock me. I don’t expect we’ll see the Rise box until at least August, and likely later than that.

Well if we get Hulk along with Strange and Widow in June, and there are indeed 7 SKUs being released... then either we get Red Skull in June or they're releasing 4 playmats. Which would be Marvel/Cap/Thor/Widow, and if they're doing the Widow playmat I think we'll get the Strange playmat too.

But again, it's really all just speculation until we get more news.

(I'm trying to recall for sure, somewhere I believe I saw from a retailer or somebody that some of the next round of Heroes (the ones from these silhouettes) are getting released two to a month, but they had Scarlet Witch listed for January. So a one month delay total, somewhere along the way.

My guess is BW, DS, Hulk, and 4 Play mats in June.

Since BW and DS are already released to rest of world, it makes no sense releasing one month at a time. And if Hulk is going to release to rest of world, also makes no sense holding onto it.

As for Rise of Red Skull, who knows when we will see that. But hopefully US/Canada will be back on the same page as RoW.

I really hope RoRS is out sooner rather than later. I love getting new heroes (and I'm pretty stoked about both Hawkeye and Spider-Woman), but I really want to see more scenarios.

Me too. In fact, I would have actually taken Kang before a lot of the admittedly very exciting heroes we are getting this "cycle".

I'd go for that, too.

I think we all expected a scenario pack after BW. But Shrugs. 5 new scenarios +1 in month after is going to be great.

Would be really psyched if FFG followed the same model they used with the initial pack delays and just released Widow, Strange and Hulk in June. Though, unless they moved RotRS up it would leave a pretty big drought through the summer.

This article is interesting. Regarding US distribution: “[Asmodee] plans 40 releases over the four-week period [of June], including. . . seven Marvel Champions releases...”

In an ideal world, Rise of Red Skull would be the last product being released that early to begin with. So even if they caught up to the original schedule and released Widow, Strange, Hulk, and RoRS, there are still three SKUs unaccounted for. Playmats for Ms Marvel, Cap, and Thor seem likely, but when you consider playmats you then have to wonder if they comprise a larger percentage of the 7 June releases. A couple people on Discord are leaning towards mats for Strange and Widow as well, with Strange and Widow being the only non-playmat releases.

Hard to say for sure, so I’m optimistic that we get more cards sooner, but trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Apparently, this is in error and confused Crisis protocol with Champions.

BW pack is the only Champions release we are getting in June.

i was expecting the red skull box coming in june with hulk

They could move Strange up, but the plan with Hulk is to coordinate all releases (international and domestic) to be the same time starting with Hulk.

I wish they would move the Doc up. He's the one hero I've been going nuts over wanting to get and play with real cards.

FFG clearly would rather the packs sit in a warehouse and not have a gap between now and RoRS rather than give us the packs despite having been released internationally.

Rather dumb in my opinion.

I agree. I'm not grasping the logic on this one.

Everyone is waiting some, at this point. I'm not sure of all the details, but Asmodee has been trying to drop their US distributor for a while now, and I'm fairly certain that has had a big effect on summer release dates/COVID delays. Here's to hoping the distributor was the bulk of the problem for previous release issues, and that Asmodee is getting their crap together for the future.
