oh well, school's starting tomorrow. i'm not really looking forward to it, but something inside me is stirring with excitement and anticipating a good year ahead. tomorrow is kinda like new year's day to me, starting of school is the new year, and right now i'm counting down to it. timetable looks a little crappy, 4 days waking up at 7 am is crazy and one of those days end at 7 pm, something i'm not looking forward to. ever. i've been having a cold since yesterday afternoon, hasn't gotten away yet. i hope it doesn't ruin my first day. currently right now, the music playing around my ears are 30 Seconds to Mars' This Is War album and Slash's new Slash album. came across many nice songs. kinda right for the mood i'm having right now. did i just use the word "mood"? i thought i was emotionally impaired. haha. this past holiday wasn't really like a holiday. didn't do want i had planned. like spending the whole afternoon looking out of the window and watch the clouds, watching a movie marathon till' i drop, practice on the yo-yos, play a new board game (not really exactly, since i just got myself back to heroclix. bought myself a Ragnarok Surtur fig, but i'm not gonna count that since its just ONE fig) and a couple more. there are the good points too that makes this a holiday. hanging out with koolkids, my secondary school friends and Techapon and the rest. hah, gotta wake up a little more earlier tomorrow, i don't want to be in school in a rush manner. just packed my bag (pencil box, DS, Band Hero instruments and paper). first thing i'm gonna do in school as usual, is to go to Cheers, get myself a can of coffee and chocolates. great morning. haha.

Desiree, Samantha, Putri, Charlene and Seow Hung.
last week of holiday before all my headaches come. never been good with making new friends, takes me a pretty long time to get comfortable. but hey, i've got to.

saw something really cool yesterday. i really really want to get it. but for $360? it's expensive, however it may just be worth it.

with no news of WoW miniatures, i pretty sure i'll drop the game. it's been a really good run over the year of playing the game even though 2 sets were really pathetic and ridiculous, but hey, it's a great game. so i've been checking out the board game that started it all, Heroclix. It was my first exposure to the miniatures game and i left it when Wizkids closed but somewhere at the end of last year, NECA took over has has been a very dominate force since. i didn't want to go for it at that time, as i was still hoping those idiots at UDE would do something about WoW minis. Heroclix seems better than before, and with each passing day, my confidence in NECA grows evermore strongly. looking through their website, i found that their most recent set, Hammer of Thor, very impressive.



the set was well designed and i really want to get my hands on Venom, Hand Ninja, Captain America, and practically all of them.



they all seem playable and this brings the game with more skills and tactical planning. which is the reason why i used to love WoW minis.
hitting in stores on May 12, Heroclix is bringing in their new starter, Blackest Night. It is based on DC's famous story arc, well pretty obvious, Blackest Night.

the stater contents includes:
Seven 3D HeroClix miniatures, each with a character card
All-new Green Lantern Sciencells Map
2010 HeroClix Complete Rulebook
Six Object Tokens
Twelve Terrain Markers
Two 6-sided dice

so what are the seven miniatures? well, they are...

Green Lantern



Mera



Lex Luthor



The Atom



Scarecrow



Wonder Woman



and lastly... The Flash



even without revealing their stats and character cards, they look pretty damn awesome!
but hey! NECA is doing another set that will be released just next week! on the 14!
it's called The Brave and the Bold.
it's a booster, ranging from a new set of 55 figures. there will be new mechanics added to the game, which kept me i great anticipation throughout the week.
introducing the new mechanics, Alter Ego.













and they too are bringing in new double based characters.









just like WoW minis' Battlegrounds prizes, Heroclix has their own Organized Play Kits.
coming from the first set is Mjolnir.



the Brave and the Bold set also comes in with their own.





wow. this is one really long post. ahaha. just hope Heroclix will remain this great. guess i'll be buying a couple of boosters of the Brave and the Bold next week.

my first ever heroclix.
