  1. James do you know if the last Heroclix set that Wizkids was preparing had finished being sculpted? If so, the first set might be in the can, and changes might not come until later.

  2. My FLGS has already been solicited for orders of the next set, which is apparently the long-awaited Thor-themed set. I suspect the product has been sitting in a warehouse for a while.
