I did not know about the status and secure/extract tokens. That is really great news. This is not a day one purchase for me, but it's on the list. I play almost all of the affiliations that are represented in the box so this is just value all around.
thank you Nate for presenting a measured opinion, totally agree with the fact that there are too many duplicates on the characters despite an obvious leveling up of the figurines. There are good things and some that we can find regrettable. It's to your credit to have more constructed words than to find everything "amazing".
Thank you! I really do try and give a balanced take on things when I can. There are things in here I am pumped about. Spider-Man, Doc Oct, and Iron Man at the forefront of that. But I also can understand the frustration of having 3rd versions of some of these characters.
My question for Will : Will there be characters cards pack to update the old cards ? With the localisation scheduled with the new core set, i guess that characters card pack may be a thing.
I’m “Super” excited for the new core set and all the X-men stuff being revealed! During your interview if you could ask if there is a plan to address the Thanos/Malekith meta issues and when (generally) we can expect that. Doesn’t need to be a hard date or any specifics, but getting even a general idea when it will trickle down the pipeline would mollify a lot of concerns among the fanbase.
I appreciate that they did not make the old core set models obsolete and even provide ways to purchase them if people want in affiliation packs. The Spider-Foe and Web Warriors releases have me the most excited and I want the new core set mainly for the new Dock Ock. It would not surprise me if Marvel-Disney is holding Atomic Mass from releasing and FF related characters until such time that they want those characters promoted. like when getting close to a new movie release. We'll never know because those discussions tend to be held very close to the chest. Looking for questions for Will, can you ask if they can discuss some more details of the timeline events discussed in the video announcement?
I did ask him about that off camera and wasn’t able to pry any new info out of him. It feels like it’ll be one of those things that they will give us the news when we get the news kind of deals
I’m super excited for the “new” core set. I think, for the most part, this restores playability to a bunch of characters. I think it’s going to be a much better experience for new folks. It’s an excellent compromise of not redoing the game, while giving it a major refresh. (And it’s what I predicted/hoped for.)
Thanks for your report. I’d like to know if they are planning on doing something similar to Infinity stones “campaign”. I’d love to play a more story-focused game.
Was it a particular game/design decision to reduce the number of 2/3 threat characters being relasesed thus far in 2023 or what it more just a coincidence of which character were ready to ship (play testing, sculpts, production, etc.)?
Happy about the tokens. Tired of being like "oh I don't have a poison token, can I borrow one of yours?" Not super gassed about buying the same characters over again, but at least the new sculpts are awesome.
I think the new core set is an awesome way for new players to get into the game and even reentry point for old players to reconnect with the game. New characters would've been nice but I think AMG did a great job with the new core.
My FLGS already asked me if I want to pre-order the new core box and I found myself not able to answer it one way or the other. Love the new sculpts and character designs, but it is hard with the increased cost after just buying Shatterpoint.
I love the new models, i partly want to get them because of how good they look but honestly i am in the crowd of wondering why we continue to reprint 3rd iterations of characters that exist in the game. i know the video somewhat explained it but i still fail to understand why they couldnt go and use xmen vs brotherhood starter box or f4 vs doom or eternals vs devaints, i dont know... I mean i get ironman, cpt america, and ref skull are bastly more popular thanks to the mcu but i do think they could have gone a different route with new characters that would appeal to both old as well as new where as i have to honestly wonder if this will sell as much
I agree! What's wrong with Spiderverse vs. Spiderfoes? It's also obnoxious because those of us with the old core box won't be able to proxy in the models because things like Binary Transformation and Ultron's grunts can't be replicated.
Would you buys any chance be able to get some rules clarifications regarding how redskulls leadership works? Like do you declare it before the roll? Is it like mal and doms thing? Also with his friends pay for things power ,does the friend have to pay for all of it pr can he split it between the 2 of them?
A buddy of mine pointed out that with the flat ended measuring tool pushes and throws will be different. Did you get to try either of those mechanics out? Will there be a rulebook update for these mechanics?
I think they should have done a "Core Rules Box" with measurement and range tools, dice, crisis cards, turn marker, tokens and rules. Then give 2 discount vouchers to allow players to buy 2 Affiliation boxes of their choice, two of which could be the updated 'good guys' and 'baddies' as Affiliation boxes. I do get AMG want a starter box that demonstrate many of the game mechanics. The new sculpts are great though. I'll buy it but I do think it is a bit of a missed opportunity for existing players. For new players, it is excellent. Not sure that translates into an overall boost for the game though as I doubt whether the original sculpts were deterring any new players.
At the end of the day the core box needed an overhaul since it had incorrect character cards, incorrect crisis cards, and banned tactic cards. I like the idea of the pick two affiliation boxes to “make your own core set” though. Might be cool to see some retailers do something with that.
Question for Will: Will there be other ways to get these characters/models? Being a veteran player I have the original core set. Of these new characters I would really only be interested in two or three of them. Also will the crisis card be available for purchase separately or just in the print and play format.
The crisis will be available in the announced crisis pack. However it doesn’t seem that the new characters will be available outside of the core box unless the break them down into affiliation boxes further down the road.
@@TheGamersGuild I'd assume with the reserve members card that targets 3 threat in the box I doubt it. :/ I'm also curious if we could see changes again tk existing cards like richochet blast to work on steve rogers any tony stark but that would give to much away of a potential card pack coming.
Really think they could have had new characters in the new core box. It makes it a no buy for me. I rather just get a box set of updated character cards. Still, super happy about the Sinister Six!
I am in the camp of people that see this new core set as a missed opportunity. This new core should have been similar to Star Wars legion, where it allows for players to buy one of each core set to get a wider variety of characters. All they needed to do was gradually insert the revised cards into the original core set and make the new core set feature new characters.
Honestly …. This was the injection the game needed. Sick new models. Sick new leaderships. Sinister 6 ! Amazing sculps ( sandman , venom Gwen etc)
100%!!!
Finally! The 4 foes I've been waiting for!
Still need scorpion to round it out for me, but all of these are hype!
I did not know about the status and secure/extract tokens. That is really great news. This is not a day one purchase for me, but it's on the list. I play almost all of the affiliations that are represented in the box so this is just value all around.
I think it’ll be a day one pick up for me even if only for 3 models with Oct, Spider-Man and Iron Man getting me excited.

I kinda hoped they did like a Brotherhood vs X-Men starter.
They never would but it could have been cool
Yeah I think it would’ve been a really cool thing as well, and maybe for core box 3.0?
Thank you for showing us the new stuff. Oh a question is their going to be more solo content for MCP?

I don’t feel thanos and malekith need to be touched. Just better ways for the little guys to punch up.
Thank you for all you do!
I'm super stoked for this.
Yeah all sorts of new things to be hyped for!

Been a spider foes player forever this is the best news
Right, now I just need Gargan to show up.
Now I need a new core box😊
Right! Now I’m doing a double take on maybe playing shield 😂
Loving the new ultron
Thanks for your report.
I’d like to know if they are planning on doing something similar to Infinity stones “campaign”. I’d love to play a more story-focused game.
Ohh that is a good question it’s been a bit since we have gotten any op kit that is along those lines.
Also agreed on fantastic 4. That said no doom make me sad. And doctor octopus nicest new sculp and card
Was it a particular game/design decision to reduce the number of 2/3 threat characters being relasesed thus far in 2023 or what it more just a coincidence of which character were ready to ship (play testing, sculpts, production, etc.)?
This question should be getting slipped into another upcoming interview.
Happy about the tokens. Tired of being like "oh I don't have a poison token, can I borrow one of yours?" Not super gassed about buying the same characters over again, but at least the new sculpts are awesome.
And new rules too! I’m personally excited to try out the new Spider-Man
I think the new core set is an awesome way for new players to get into the game and even reentry point for old players to reconnect with the game. New characters would've been nice but I think AMG did a great job with the new core.
Will the new characters be available outside of the new box PLUS will the old ones still be compatible?
Yes! They will all be viable and playable!
@@TheGamersGuild thank you. Love your content.
My FLGS already asked me if I want to pre-order the new core box and I found myself not able to answer it one way or the other. Love the new sculpts and character designs, but it is hard with the increased cost after just buying Shatterpoint.
Yeah might be something to wait on for a bit because it is a high price tag, but the value is still there at least.

Is it like mal and doms thing?
Also with his friends pay for things power ,does the friend have to pay for all of it pr can he split it between the 2 of them?
Unfortunately that’ll be something they will just point me towards the rules forum for, which of course probably won’t get answered until Oct.
A buddy of mine pointed out that with the flat ended measuring tool pushes and throws will be different. Did you get to try either of those mechanics out? Will there be a rulebook update for these mechanics?
AMG should really make Dials for Power and energy. I always use dice with only 1 token to indicate wich is wich.
All I want to know about. Update Pack 2023? 2024? Anything?

It’s not for sale unfortunately. Or well at least not yet.

Be honest, were you wearing pants when you recorded this?
You’ll never know
My only question is spider-man going to finally be avengers affiliated
Man I can only hope, I’ll see if I can pry it out of Will Friday

I am interested in Captain America's new card
Are you able to take this version of Peter Parker and the older version of Peter Parker at the same time?
You can have them both as a part of your 10 character roster, but they cannot both be on your strike team at the same time.
@@TheGamersGuild Awesome, thanks for answering!

If you buy one of each core set in Legion you get 1/2 of four armies…
The new core set is a missed opportunity to bring new and old players together...
Why do you say that?
Im pretty meh on the new sculpts, rules seem cool but ill be avoiding just due to duplicate same character minis and the overall price...
