The metal is quite soft compared to the standard alloy that seems to be in use now. Had to be really careful when holding the mini whilst filing the lines as stuff was bending all over the place.

Casting quality isn't great, BTW. Just put Harley Together and it was flash everywhere and very fragile. Perhaps I've been spoilt by Corvus Bellis quality.......

AGAIN other than me breaking Mr. Freezes Freeze Gun (with my clumsy meat claws) mine have been spot on - maybe I got lucky (if I did, it's a first LoL)

In fairness, I did only do Harley Quinn, so perhaps the others will be better.

Apparently theres a whole batch of Joker Crew boxes out there without the stat cards in them, so buyer beware!

Should be fine to get replacements, but its a hassle nonetheless.

Yea, they had a similar issue with Catwomans left Arm  :(

Leaving out a bunch of cards is a whole other Boardgame though  lol

Ah the joys of the packers  :D

I had a read through the rules yesterday. The concepts/mechanics look interesting. I like what I saw.

The translation is sloppy bad and awkward, however, verging on unintelligible. Apparently getting an English spell-checker was beyond them. Some of the phrasing is extremely awkward as well and hopefully will change.  

I am guessing that this company is run by an artist from a rich family. It would explain how such a big name license with such beautiful models could have so many problems in execution. I hope they can get their act together eventually. Still teetering on whether to actually spend the $250 USD to get enough models to run a fun and varied game.

It's MUCH better than just Robin . . . . .

The Deathstroke and Green Arrow are great, but I don't really like the Robin figure much. I'm still not sold on this line, simply because 'clix are cheaper, easy to get and easy to touch up / mod. But I'm still watching with interest to see if there's something that comes out that will make me buy in.

I really like the Robin and the Green Arrow!!  Not too enthused about Deathstroke....maybe cuz I never cared much for the character. 

I wish they'd get these at the CMoN store soon!

I don't mind the Robin sculpt.

Prefer these over the clix ones by a long chalk. Clix look a bit, well, ...........shit.

Cheap for a reason! I do think that KM have cut a few costs on the metals used though as this stuff is a bit too soft for its own good and is like the old lead minis in the 90's.

Regardless of Clix being shit (or not as the case may be), any idea if KM are going to sell the BMG stat sheets separately at any point?

I seriously doubt it, that would financial suicide - you need the profiles to play the game, so they include them with the miniatures. If you can get the profiles separately, no need to buy the miniatures . . . .

So like I said, I doubt it.

I doubt it as well, unless they plan to add something when the main rulebook gets a proper release.
