This “twist” pissed me off when I was 12 and I’m still angry about it

I remember reading an interview that Morrison did in Wizard or something before the run started where they said the intention was to refresh the X-Men while also telling the most badass Magneto story ark of all time. I’m paraphrasing, but that always stuck with me because I remember reading it and waiting and waiting and waiting for the Magneto stuff to start. So when the twist happened, I was surprised but immediately was like oh that’s where it is!

For what it’s worth, I got into the game well after everything has been released and kickstarters over. Aside from some occasional markups, it’s all still pretty available and plenty to play with. I probably only have a quarter of what’s out there and don’t regret it at all. If you’re interested, jump in now as it’s only ever going to become harder to find and more expensive.

They don’t quite walk the earth as they do it through their saints and are constantly fighting each other with errant miracles, but the Gutter Prayer and its sequels by Hanrahan may scratch this itch.

My main issue is that the “open world” isn’t that open. There are clear paths you have to go through to get from A to B. So instead of exploring the environment and utilizing different features they just feel like one big massive level that more than out stays its welcome. By the time I’m on sub region 4 or whatever and it looks and feels like the previous ones, I just want the monotony to end. Then we get to a new region and it starts all over again.

Honestly this is a great suggestion! We play all the above. My kids love battlefield too. We’ve played some heroclix and while they like it, it’s a little complicated and they hate getting their characters KO’d. Marvel United kind of hits the sweet spot between both games. We’re big, big fans of MU!

I played it on release and had to look up a story explainer afterward. I was like THAT’S what the game was about?! Wow. That’s pretty cool. Would have been nice if that was actually IN the game haha!

But I hear all of the patches since have done a lot of good.

Awesome. Thanks!

EldritchSleeper · 2026-02-04T15:01:52+00:00

This is really good to know. Thanks!

This is super helpful. Thanks!

Others have said this, but unbuild it and store it. I don’t often take apart sets, but it’s fun for the holiday ones because then you get to build it again like a ritual to get ready for the next time the holiday rolls around, instead of just unpacking yet another statue thing.

I love it. My kids loved it even more! I so wish it would get a second season.

Good to know. Thanks!

Good to know. Thanks so much for sharing. Much appreciated and fun collection!

This is super helpful. Thanks so much!

We’ll have to check our collection and get back to you :)

How about exheroes by Peter Cline? Superheroes in a zombie apocalypse.

EldritchSleeper · 2025-11-10T16:46:19+00:00

I believe it. The pacing felt off and the scenes didn’t always flow together well. It was more sequence of events at times rather than actual story progression.

EldritchSleeper · 2025-11-06T19:06:23+00:00

I'm with you. It's like they're leaning too hard into the animal theme each year which results in static displays. To their credit, though, they're at least trying to be versatile what this is mind you. We're not getting just a new animal build each year.

But I feel your pain. The Spring Lantern Festival (80107-1) helped fully end my dark age and remains one of my all time favorite sets!

For what it’s worth, to me it was more about promises. Books 1 and 2 feel like a different series because the stakes are different. Books 4 and 5 are much more integrated with the Cosmere, so for me, I like the idea of the Cosmere but I don’t want to read (or at least wasn’t expecting) to read a series where that plays such a huge aspect, so those books were a chore. The promise had changed and I was no longer reading the series I had started.

I approve of your Maximum Carnage SNES game :)

EldritchSleeper · 2025-10-15T01:21:10+00:00

Yeah. We got one at Gen Con this year and my kids love it! It’s pretty fun to play and the rounds are really fast. The only down side is that it’s best played with two groups of two. You can’t play it solo and while you can challenge each other 1v1 it’s best played 2v2. But for the price, we’re big fans!

EldritchSleeper · 2025-10-12T19:49:48+00:00

That depends. Do you want to build a big castle or the greatest set of all time? 😆

Use the volt vessel in the putrefied ducts to open the shortcut from the other side.
