HeroClix
Collector’s
Club Continues Support Of
Brick-And-Mortar Retail Stores
November 18, 2005 (SEATTLE) —
WizKids Inc., creator of the runaway hit games
HeroClix® and Pirates of the Spanish Main™,
is proud to announce the debut of the HeroClix
Collector’s Club, a program designed to support
traditional brick-and-mortar gaming stores by offering
customers who purchase from those stores opportunities
to purchase special collector’s pieces.
“The HeroClix
Collector’s Club is a follow-up program to the recently
announced MechWarrior® Officer’s Club,” said Mike
Samora, vice president of Sales and Marketing at
WizKids®. “What began with the “Buy It By the Brick”
program has evolved into a club that supports customers
who support their local retailers.” Beginning in
February with the release of the DC HeroClix:
Collateral Damage set, customers who purchase a
shrink-wrapped “brick” of 12 Collateral Damage
Boosters and send in for the exclusive KRYPTO
collector’s edition figure will be enrolled in the
HeroClix Collector’s Club. Their membership will
give them the opportunity to purchase Collector’s Sets
of HeroClix figures before they become generally
available, at a reduced price.
HeroClix
Collector’s Sets are composed of between five and seven
preselected HeroClix figures. The first
Collector’s Set is titled DC HeroClix Giants.
Future sets will often be determined by the input of the
HeroClix community via online voting at
www.wizkidsgames.com.
