We are almost certainly too old to love HeroClix as much as we do. For us, the miniature action figures/strategy game pieces aren't a fondly remembered childhood pastime but rather a secret, shameful army in a single Ziploc freezer bag that we prayed our loved ones would never find.
The toys may not be as popular as they once were (even with those for whom they're age appropriate), and we've gotten a little older ourselves, but if you think that's going to stop us from buying the newly announced line of Street Fighter HeroClix, then you're off your gourd.
This new line includes a six-figure starter pack and 27 other assorted Clix (available in single-character boosters) to help you fill out your O-scale outfit. Look for them on store shelves in August.

Ohh man... i used to love heroclix. I would so snag these up if
A. I had someone to play with and
B. Had the money to afford them
... I will probably end up buying them anyway

That's my biggest problem too, nobody to play with. Also where do I put all these damn figures?! lol, wish it was as easy to store heroclix as it is to store Magic cards.

Awesome, I play clix every saturday night with a small group, maybe some more people that like Street Fighter might get into this and make it a little more popular. Plus, I really want a Guile figure.

i would say they've gotten more popular than when I was a child...everytime i try to find a booster in the comic shops, they're always sold out.

They aren't toys, just a palm sized Sonic Boom you can carry around in your pocket.

Too old? Not as popular? Okay, I guess you can decide for yourself whether or not you are "too old", though I truly do not understand that concept. However, the last 3 Heroclix sets have sold out at the manufacturer WEEKS before they ever even hit store shelves.
The game is stronger and more popular than ever. Of course, if you're too old to realize that......

Yes, my children, buy the toys even though you're too old for this kind of shit. Keep buying the useless trash, my men-children. You'll never grow up my darlings. Soon western society will collapse in on itself and I'll stick a Darth Vader helmet and toy lightsaber on the grave.

I love heroclix! And all the people that I know that play are in their late teens/early 20s. The amount of money I spend on this game is ridiculous. I usually buy a brick every time a new set comes out lol I'm really looking forward to this! (People that actually keep up with heroclix news have known about this announcement for months)

OMG this is so awesome, the figures look great too! After Halo Clix, I was wondering when another video games line would come out and what it would be.
