AttackTix, Transformers

[Rodriquez]

I was wondering if anyone has any info on these? on which ones are rare/super rare and what does the silver bases mean?

cheers

If Transformers is anything like Star Wars Attacktix the figures common/rares are printed on the side of the booster packs or on a checklist inside the package. The silver bases are just rare buffer versions of the common figures. Its a blind purchase game, so I tend to discourage my son on buying it.

I agree. This little shoot-em-up game looks like a lot of fun, but the blind-purchase aspect will probably hold me at bay.

It really is a ton of fun. Except the when you kill a figure you have the chance to play a special ability. Most of these affect another figure. So, in order to play any strategy or play the game to its full, you have to have the complete set. :roll: Lame beyond words.

But playing w/o the special abilities is still pretty fun. :wink:

Rod, there is a pretty extensive messageboard dedicated to attacktix http://attacktix.proboards22.com/ with a long FAQ section to answer your questions.

I played attacktix before heroscape, great game for kids, but the blind packaging does wrack up the $$ - although it is a lower price point than heroscape, so technically you probably would end up shelling out the same price for a full set. I just completed Series 4 for about $50.

Hiya Phoenix! Good to see you here as well... I'm having trouble divvy-ing up my money between HeroScape and AttackTix! :lol:

So I just noticed that they are now doing a Tranformers vs. Star Wars crossover. There is just lameness written all over that. I fold. :?

[ultradoug]

i got some for my son, the missles get lost so easyly. The 2 in one package sucks. They have done this with starwars now too, it was like 3 before I think? The guy with the ball and chain does not seem to "swing" anyway.. yeah. missles everywhere.

what i meant to say was i picked some up for my nephew and i just open them up at the store to see whats inside before i buy em. you can fold the corners of the bottom flap and top flaps in to see who's at the top and who's in the bottom 2 out 3 ain't bad.

I like to shoot my cat with the missles from the ones I have. I don't have many but I do have a really rare one..

Okay I'll bite, which rare one is that?

[monkeyfish]

I looked on www.everythingmageknight.com and I found out the rare one I have is Vector Prime which is 14.99 on www.everythingmageknight.com.

I love Attacktix!

I like the forum that the other guys talked about, but I think the Attacktix.com site is cool too. I got an Attacktix MySpace (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=193814354) if anybody is interested.

I was actually hanging out with the guys at Hasbro @ the 2007 San Diego Comic Con, trying to pry some cool Attacktix info from them when I saw a little Heroscape promotional figure, now I'm playing Heroscape too.

[Jormi_Boced]

I find Attacktix to be a fun time.

My daughter likes them 'cause it's quick and easy to play. We can just use the dinner table. Plus, she can take a couple to school and play with her friends. They were getting pretty intense. We actually got a letter tellign us they couldn't trade with each other ... they could only play.

I do hatesss the blind packaging ... so mostly we have the sets where you could see what you are getting. I buy her a pack every now and then. I don't worry so much about mixing them ... between the Star Wars, the Transformers and the Marvel ones ... I've really developed a liking for the Transformers more than any of the others. They're just "funner"

And, we have been known to use the Heroscape board for a game if I have it set up. Just substitue the hexes for number of clicks. You move a lot faster, but not too bad. Heck, we even use the water and height rules for movement...
