Tempted by LE Harley and oredring direct.

Do Knight have a good turnaround, any issues anyone had and what's their shipping costs like?

Shipping is pretty steep but I would buy a couple more things from the direct only range (AO Bats, Adam West Bats, Classic Riddler, Arkham ivy off the top of my head) to get free uk shipping. There's always folk wanting the direct minis (Adam West is fantastic in game as is Arkham ivy, or if like me you missed Classic Riddler ) turnaround is fast though.

I bought the le Harley version from km direct. I bought the le lantern book too and recieved it quickly. It is a little pricier, but it contains two le minis that wot be released again. The le Harley should be almost as rare as the rep hood joker mini... who was tough as hell to get ahold of after I passed on preordering the joker book.

If you collect le minis, or like harley/joker, or want a new version of harley to use, I'd suggest preordering from km.

Many others speak of the minis being released again, but km has a history of releasing preorder minis and promo cards that are never released again. It's a now or never thing.

News! Looks like it's soon going to be time to chill!


FREEZE AT LAST! Been waiting for this for months!

Months? Hasn't it been closer to two years that we've known about the Freeze gang?

Still, nice to see progression.

MINE!

NEED!

2 Years! 2 Years I waited for this! Cannot wait to see this beauty on the board

The DC Universe Miniatures Game has just been teased on facebook.

I don't know if this image is going to work but...



They've also announced a Harry Potter miniatures game too.

Love it!

Awesome! That is awesome and I need it in my life right now!

So what does everyone think of the Harry Potter Miniatures Game coming next year?

Certainly one to keep an eye on. I'm not a massive Potter fan, but there's potential for some great minis (especially if they have likeness licenses for the actors as part of the deal) and I'm very interested to see how the game itself turns out. There's scope for some very innovative and interactive mechanics , and loads of ways they could go with it.

Harry Potter actually sounds interesting. I'm a fan although I'm not too sure about getting others interested. I'd be concerned about their ability to support it in addition to all their other games.

Yeah, I like the sound of a HP game also, but I'd rather have generic type rules which could apply to lots of different IPs, like Scooby Doo (anyone with kids will understand) than just one game IP at a time.

I haven't been following this too closely.. is there going to be another starter box similar to the Suicide Squad one? I'm not overly fond of the minis in that one but the buildings, rules, etc.. are all things I would be interested in.

Not that we know of... KM did say it was the first starter box for BMG, but I assume that's because there was never one before rather than because they plan to do more... SS seems to have sold very well, though, so it may well happen at some point!

No other Suicide Squad boxes in the know, yet. I can't picture that happening very often. Maybe once a year at best?

DC super game? Not for me, likely. Batman is by far my favorite DC character, and his 'universe' the part of the company I can deal with. Marvel is more for my superhero needs.

Harry Potter game? Interesting, and a bit unexpected. First, I hope its accessible to a younger crowd, so I can game at home with the kids. Second, I hope its a small scale--like 3-5 minis per person at the most. Also, it would make sense as a cooperative game, as I'm not sure how many would really take to playing Snape and Co. against one of the biggest protagonists of the last couple decades.

Not looking for a different SS box so much as a different starter box.

It would be really cool if the DC Universe Miniature game is compatible with Marvel Universe Miniature game.

That would be my expectation, too. I'm still thinking, at best, we would see such a thing once a year.

Would make sense if they lined up another box like this with another movie.

Introduce the DCU Supers box with the JLA movie and have some big baddies along for the ride.

I think that's a given, seeing as how the Spidey game (as dead on arrival as that was) was based on the Batman system. I must admit I'd given up hope for a separate DC supers game with Flash and Cyborg among others making their way into Batman, but I'd 100% on board for this when it releases!

Spoiler:

So if I'm playing Superman and my friend is playing Batman, and one of us yells "Martha!", does the game auto-end in a draw?

Assorted sneak peaks from the SS box, via ToaTS via Arkham City Limits on FB:
Cap Cold and Heatwave:


Another Harley goon set (I think)


GRODD!


Raven:


Maybe new cops?


No smegging idea who this guy is:

Last guy is Hawk from Hawk and Dove IIRC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawk_and_Dove

Only really know as they are associated with the Lords of Law and Chaos - Moorcock style.

The second last guy is Aaron Cash who was a member of Arkham Security in Arkham Asylum, there's another picture floating about of another security guy.

If make sense for it to be another 4 person kit like Gordon and SWAT

More Marvel goodies, please!! Lol. Actually, I would get a full 7-slot Justice League if they made it; Supes, Bats, WW, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern and MM.

I'f you're willing to go for the New 52 lineup and take Cyborg instead of MM, that's 5 of the 7 available from the off, you just need GL and Aquaman.

I wonder, though, if this is going to be based on the MUMG mechanics, if the likes of Cyborg/Flash/Reverse Flash/Lobo that are suitable for the supers game but already in BMG will just get new stat cards, or if we'll see new models? Some of them are pretty recent to roll out a new model of any time soon, I'd think.

There's still a Flash model that doesn't have any BMG stats

Good model previews.

That said, I'm underwhelmed by nearly all of them. Hawk, Cold, and Heatwave all are uninspiring.

I like all of those except Hawk.. who looks like he was designed by Rob Leifeld..
