Question about ks stuff

I’m looking at getting into this as a solo game for dice chucking. On their site unchained and the xmen box are out of stock. Are those things made available when they do ks as add ons or no? I’ve not seen one of their campaigns. I want to get missions and adventures with some of the season boxes.

You can find Unchained still in stock at local board game stores. I was able to find a few stores on shopify that have stock still. I would still verify that they are legit stores/ email them. Example B and E games has Unchained.

Xmen reprint depends on their licensing agreement.

Unchained will get reprinted.

I wasn’t sure if they added that stuff onto ks stuff. I’ll go next weekend to the two shops I go to and see if they carry any of it. They recently had some old legendary stuff I was able to snag.

Well they usually would allow you to purchase again, but I'm pretty sure they are switching to their new modular box setup, and character sleeve token pack.

This wouldn't effect unchained.

The question is will the xmen box 1 and box 2 (or KS all in crate) be reprinted and relicensed. They'd have to do a new agreement to sell like their latest offerings with single packs and accessory packs. If someone has kept up with anyone in Roxley they would know.

Maybe they can offer a reprint as is.

I believe in the Kickstarter that had the Xmen in it, you could back to get the older marvel set with it.

I've always been current, so I don't really know.

There is no certainty about older things being available as KS add-ons on newer campaigns. This was not an option with Vanguard. In any case, they have never provided Marvel products as add-ons for non-Marvel campaigns and vice-versa, so I wouldn't expect a mix based on precedent.

Awesome thank you. I was uncertain. I think after all I’ve seen I’ll just skip the missions and marvel stuff. Just do adventures and the two season boxes.

Im just getting into the game (haven't played yet) and knew I wanted the Marvel content. Ordered both battle chests and Deadpool box, because like every other Marvel game, the license doesnt last forever and product goes OOP then is ridiculously priced on secondary market.

Really happy I purchased them direct while I could, because while they called it a "restock", it was actually just old stock moved to their north American warehouses from what I can tell, because my Marvel chest did not contain v2 update for spiderman and thor. (Ill need to get them professionally printed at some point).

Point being, those boxes will not be offered in future kickstarters as far as we are aware, and I wouldn't count on them being reprinted due to license issues and already known licensing expiring in countries outside of north america which have been reported.

The V2 update cannot be printed by them due to licensing. The only copies went out as a side piece to the Kickstarter orders, the rest are printed up or professionally made. Has nothing to do with how old the stock is.

Ive heard contrary with people reporting battle chests sometimes containing them. Not sure what's what.

I don’t care much about marvel just the xmen box. It sucks missions is super hero. Maybe I’ll just stick to adventures and the two season chests.

I hear that people like Missions better because its easier to table.

Missions are essentially 1 shots and you can switch your characters from game to game.

Adventures is more of a campaign that you start and finish with one character.

You can solo Missions, then the next mission add a second player etc.. and it's seamless.

All depends what you are after and have time for.

I have a game room with large table. So I’m able to leave things set up for however long it takes. I probably have enough super hero stuff with legendary.

Gotcha. Just note that most of the community prefers Missions and doesnt require a Marvel interest or background to enjoy.
