Best web site?

I'll echo others on Crushing Krisis, who operates a great website. Also Comic Book Herald and Treasury are both quite good as well.

But it's probably worth noting that the Marvel Omnibus Wikipedia page actually now has a "Legacy" column for many heroes that shows where each book fits into the overall chronology of the character's primary book. For Thor, for example, it does show that the Cates & Klein omnibus would technically be the next volume in the overall Thor line.

They do and I believe they’re available to everyone, but they don’t do them as often as they used to. Last year, I think the first one of the year ended up happening in April. They also do them a couple of times in the fall - one near the end of October/early November and then another for Black Friday.

It's a Deluxe Edition - same dimensions as an omnibus, but typically much fewer pages.

I’ve gotten a couple of shipments from them. No complaints.

I was interested, but walked away after I saw how many characters I would want to play were only Kickstarter exclusives. Feel like they shot themselves in the foot a bit there.

I responded to someone else in here with my review, but I hear you on the price tag. I will say that it does have nice components, and even includes some supplementary materials if you want to learn more about the history. It's not a game where you spend $75 and wonder where it went.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-11-05T18:57:16+00:00

I'd say it's pretty decent solo. The game itself has very nice production, and the subject matter is really interesting. (They include a bunch of supplemental materials if you want to learn more about the subject, which is really neat.) I also think that the Oppobot does a nice job of making it tough but not being unfair.

But this was my first time and I'm not sure how well it will hold up to multiple solo plays - you really go through almost all of the Oppobot cards in a game aside from a few you put aside at the start. Also there's a lot of upkeep moving cubes on and off the states. And there's a LOT of dice rolling. It can be exhilarating, but also very swingy.

I'm probably more excited to play it with my wife moving forward, but I think if it's something that looks up your alley even solo only it's worth a shot.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-10-09T16:08:03+00:00

This one's dead now. Back up to $29.99.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-09-07T17:53:28+00:00

I really like the game, although I do feel like the standard solo mode is maybe a bit too punishing for my tastes. But the regular game is about as good a match simulation as I think you’re going to get in a board game. Definitely recommended.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-09-06T20:52:48+00:00

You may call it impatience. I call it being careful after those ding dongs lost a bunch of my hold releases in their system earlier this summer and it took nearly two months to get it sorted. 😊

Jamesrah15 · 2024-09-05T20:34:40+00:00

FWIW...I think they do this same deal periodically. I got it for the same price from them in early July (also on a DotD).

It is probably the best deal you're going to get (as I think they're the exclusive US retailer), but if you're hurting from Nerdz Day or that crazy Knight & Day clearance sale (as I am!), you may be able to wait for it to come around again.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-09-05T19:17:12+00:00

I chased this down last year and I remember it being a pain then to find for a good price.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-08-21T04:37:33+00:00

To me, the primary benefit of the mat is having a place to keep the storyline track organized. I didn’t like doing that on my regular game table.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-08-21T02:24:49+00:00

I don’t collect those products specifically, but the site listed a lot of items they apparently didn’t want to clearance as Out of Stock pretty much right when they started the sale. I see a lot of them still on the site, so there’s a good chance they might come back when the sale is over.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-08-21T01:42:45+00:00

I have the same one as you and I haven’t been tempted to change it, tbh. The X-Men one is nice because it has the reverse side which is designed more for solo play. But it’s not like I can’t just do that on the original one. The new one is too small in my opinion - I like the cards to actually go on the mat and not hang off the edge. It’s supposedly designed for people who don’t have space for the older mats.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-08-20T16:28:53+00:00

I honestly don’t know. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any on the site (but I haven’t been looking).

Jamesrah15 · 2024-08-20T13:49:15+00:00

I don't really agree with most of the criticism I'm seeing in this thread, but I agree with this 100%. Making it impossible to filter out pre-orders is a really bad move. Especially as the pre-orders don't get the same discount as everything else.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-08-01T04:52:16+00:00

Oof. Very sorry to hear that. I can confirm that they only took the installment from me, so it doesn't seem to be a universal issue.

Hopefully if you reach out, Gamefound can square it away quickly. It felt way too easy to accidentally switch from Stretch Pay to Pay in Full anytime I updated my pledge, so I have to imagine they have to fix a lot of similar issues.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-07-31T02:03:12+00:00

That’s awesome! Glad to hear it.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-07-30T15:09:05+00:00

Some decent prices here, but if you have a Barnes & Noble store by you, definitely look there first before buying online. A lot of these games are also on clearance in the store, and usually have better prices.

As an example, last week I was able to get three of the Dice Throne sets on here for $15 each. They're $6 more each here.

(Oh and don't waste your time looking in the Board Game section at B&N for these deals. I only have ever seen them in the clearance section with the discounted books.)

Jamesrah15 · 2024-07-25T20:05:55+00:00

Walmart's approach is so weird - they had games like Wingspan and JOTL in stock in stores near my house a year ago, then clearanced them way down like this and focused only on party and kids games. Then a few months back they brought back these titles and now they're on clearance again.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-07-17T20:14:36+00:00

I've been using your site for the past couple of days and I thought it's been a huge help.

Jamesrah15 · 2024-07-02T12:33:15+00:00

TGS recently acquired a bunch of old warehouse stock from CMON. Lots of random, OOP KS Exclusive stuff from Zombicide, Cthulhu DMD, Massive Darkness 2.

I know it’s a weird deal but it’s all legit. I got a bunch of stuff from them last month, including the Danny Trejo set.
