Most wanted expansion

By Andyh19, in Marvel Champions: The Card Game

Did I miss this announcement?

Just saw the pre-orders for this big box. Has Groot and Rocket on the front. Looking through the news site on here and can't find a thing. Is this the shop jumping the gun?

If not, can anyone link the news for me.

Thx

It was in the stream. Here is a link to a discussion about some of the new packs coming including Most Wanted:

Cheers Darth ๐Ÿ™‚ Would have thought they would have had a news item ready to go with it. That'll give me something to watch over afternoon tea break. I'd missed that stream.

There will be a news item 3 months before it releases, so around December for the article. Theyโ€™ve announced the next 6 months of products, but their normal preview cycle had been articles 3 months before the product is due to release. I expect weโ€™ll see a preview article for Ant Man pretty soon.

is it wrong that the x-men Days of Future past cover flashed through my head for a moment?

That would be my dream way to introduce the X-Men. Days is a great story and that cover is so iconic. I think there's a desire to rush to Dark Phoenix or Age of Apocalypse, but I'd prefer Days as an introduction. Days really sets up what the X-Men are all about in my mind (trying to work toward a better future). A Stryker "God Loves, Man Kills" scenario would also be a great introduction, but that feels like it could just be a standalone box rather than a big box. Magneto feels like he should be his own standalone scenario as well. There's enough villains to certainly fill a Days box. Mystique and the Brotherhood in the present. Ahab and the Hounds in the future. Then Sentinels with Trask and/or Master Mold. You can even have a Robert Kelly antagonism scenario to precede the Mystique assassination plot. It would be a real crime if Kitty wasn't one of the heroes in that box.

I was hoping you'd say the "Fantastic Four vs Galactus (Giant Card)" box got spoiled! ๐Ÿ˜… just kidding. But 5 heroes, 2 scenarios- F4 and Silver Surfer heroes vs the Heralds and Galactus. Flip the script on scenarios to heroes box ratio. Please...?

Seems most likely to me that FF will get a relatively normal big box with more scenarios and just a couple of the heroes, with some solo heroes after.

If we're getting 5 heroes in one box again it'll almost certainly be a "second core" with the X-Men, and provide another option for new players to jump in with dials and tokens and whatnot. That way people can choose the Avengers core or the X-Men core and don't have to get the other team if they don't want to. (But regardless of how it's handled, X-Men are about 2.5 years off at the earliest.)

What a waste. These are the Guardians of the Galaxy? A rat and a stick?

I really hate the movies, these versions of Marvel heroes are so... well... so... little super.

It seems the plan for the 2021 is 'Guardians of the Galaxy', first the expansion and then the hero packs for gamora, drax and starlord.

I don't gonna waste my money in these characters. I only buy a hero packs for the Guradians 3000, (the real) Youndu, Martinex, Vance, Nikki, Charlie 26, Starhawk...

And it seems for the 2022 the plan is 'X-Men'. That means i will not buy anything in 2022. I don't need another Wolverine, another Beast, another Cyclops... There are already many games with these characters on it and I will not buy another. More of the same, another Magneto, another Dark Phoenix...

There aren't enough characters in marvel who always have to use the same ones?
