HorrorClix THE LAB Booster Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This item is a booster for "The Lab", the first expansion to the collectible miniatures game (CMG) HorrorClix, produced by WizKids. In this game, you collect plastic miniatures whose dials show current combat stats. Each "click" of damage increments the dial, showing the combat stats for a progressively wounded monsters. You assemble teams of these miniatures to play against opponents, slaying victims and fighting opposing monsters. Among the different figure types are irradiated undead, velociraptors, mad scientists, evil health workers, and zombie killers.
These boosters are not playable by themselves; you must purchase a starter set (which comes with specific figures, 12 victims a map, clix ring, dice, and terrain). The only way to get different monsters is to buy the boosters; The Lab has about 100 figures. There are commons, uncommons, rares, and uniques, and the rarity is indicated by the set number (e.g., #1-33 are commons, #34-66 are uncommon, etc., although I forget the exact transition points). Figures are also Rookie, Experienced, or Veteran based on the ring color on the dial (yellow, blue, and red, respectively). Vets are usually the best, although sometimes the rookie abilities are better (for example, rookie Candy Striper). A common vet may be a better figure than a rare rookie.
The booster itself is a squared-off cardboard tube. Inside are 4 figures, 2 common, 1 uncommon, and 1 rare/unique, and their figure cards. The figures are packed in plastic shells and squeezed tightly in. There are also 2 plot twists (event cards that you can play) and one victim pog.
The Lab also introduces minion pogs, which are put in play when a victim is slain/rescued by a particular kind of monster. These minions are like bonus monsters for your team.
Some of the other Horrorclix sets have been plagued with production errors, but The Lab has high production standards and you should expect to have correct dials and cards. I haven't had any trouble with booster pulls from this set. The "science gone wrong" theme is definitely a welcome addition to my collection.
