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.

Halo ActionClix Game Pack (5 Clix) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to say that this is the game that has gotten me into Miniatures Wargaming. Wizkids has definitely developed a great product and game that is quick to learn and really fun to play. I've recently completed my entire set of Halo figures, including some of those rare promotional figures!
The game play is actually very smooth and easy to learn. Basically you develop a game on your own and each box comes complete with its own map that acts as a sort of "game board". Each figure is worth so many points, so if you want to play 400 point game you will amass your forces up to that level. This could be four 100 point figures (some are worth 50, 75, etc) or any number of combinations without exceeding the 400 point limit. You choose a "spawn" point on the map for each side and move your forces into position incumbent upon their movement speeds. Thanks to the Clix system developed by Wizkids it makes it easy for players to see how fast a character moves, how much it takes to hit a figure, and how much damage is dealt or will be taken. When damage is taken by a character you click the base to show how much damage was taken and the stats are essentially "automatically" updated for you. A damaged character naturally will be weaker. When one person gets a kill they receive a +25 token for that character and receive a skull token signifying they got a kill. The +25 token shows that the character has an upgrade option, so if you're playing a campaign or rules that include re-spawning and you were playing with a 100 point character you can then upgrade that character to a 125 point character and spawn that one.
Each figure box includes a map (there are six maps in all) and all the tokens you need to start playing right away. Tokens include spawn point tokens, +25 upgrade tokens, grenade tokens, and capture the flag tokens. You can play a variety of game versions if you have enough figures and this is where the collectible feature comes into play. My friends and I have also developed various campaigns dependent on what game/version of Halo we are playing in the Halo universe. Such as, if you are playing Halo 1 rules then you can't use the Arbiter and the Elites are not on the same side as the Marines, thus they will fight against each other. On the other hand if we are playing with Halo 3 dependent rules the Arbiter and Master Chief should be player characters and they will fight against the Brutes. As you can see there are tons of options here. The set includes enough generic Spartan figures in two colors, blue and red, to create a death match campaign. They have the same weapons, so figure 1 is red and is dual wielding pistol; likewise figure 2 is blue and is dual wielding pistols also. So if you want to run a sort of death match campaign where you have red versus blue (like the great online show) then you can easily do that.
Typically in a five figure pack like this you'll get a decent variety of different figures spread between Covenant and Marines. Strangely the Flood isn't as common as I would have assumed given how many there were in the video game. If you want to play a full on Halo campaign with lots of flood you might have to buy some of them individually. My friends and I have even done a major campaign when there are only three of us, one friend will play the role of Master Chief and the other will co-op with them as the Arbiter or another Master Chief (depending on what our dependencies are) and then the third will control the Flood or the Covenant depending on who they are fighting.
This game is a lot of a fun to play and if you're already familiar with the Wizkids Clix system then this will be pretty easy to pick up. It's a lot easier than the Mechwarrior game, which is another I've picked up and started playing as of late (also very awesome in my opinion). As I said before... Halo Clix really got me into this. If you're an older Miniatures collector you might be disappointed with the current market place, because these figures aren't metal like the older figures, they're all plastic. Each figure is completely pre-painted and comes with a character stats card. Personally I think the game is incredibly fun to play and if you're just getting into this stuff this is a great way to start. It's not nearly as complex as some other Miniatures games I've seen. It can be a fast paced campaign and most of it relies heavily on your imagination to create a game. I highly recommend!
