I picked up the new Heroclix Icons started set and one booster today. The game store here won't be ordering any more new ones since the ones they have are not selling, and the eBay store I like to use doesn't have them yet. So.. I got the starter set, which comes with a visible preselected set number of figures, and they were all ones I wanted: Batman, the original Robin, Man-Bat, Joker, Harly Quinn, and Hawkgirl (that last is a bit odd.. why not another Bat-villain or ally?). I got a single booster just on the off chance I'd get something good and picked up Superman, Wonder Woman, Cheetah, and Beast Boy; I traded WW to the store owner for an extra Tim Drake Robin he had, and thus got like 75% of all the ones I want from this run all in one blow. Not too many I want from this set, really. Luthor, Scarecrow, and Ra's al-Ghul will do it for me from this set; I'd like the Flash one, but he's a unique figure so he's out of my price range. Maybe in a year or two when people are begging to dump the things. I could do with some more Man-Bat figures, though. They would make a good fantasy monster and I can use them for the superhero game as well; the city has a colony of vampires that like prowling in man/bat hybrid form.

Early reports say that Threshold was pretty bad. I didn't see it and likely never will because it's on Friday nights, but I still have hopes for Surface, which starts this Monday. And, yay, back-to-back Justice League Unlimited tonight with the new season premiere. Apparently it's going to run back-to-back for awhile. Teen Titans should start next week, I hope.
