Here is something you can talk to your Gaming patrons about that like HeroClix. WizKids is set to release “Hulk Smash! Fast Force Pack” (with 6 pieces) and the Incredible Hulk Single Boosters on December 14.
Subscription for Gamers
ICv2 is reporting that for the first time, that I can recall, gamers will be able to subscribe for gaming pieces. Pazio Publishing, with their partners WizKids, is offering a subscription for Pathfinder Battles: Heroes & Monsters. This subscription will allow gamers to get cases of pre-painted miniatures. The sight didn’t give a link to get this subscription, but librarians will still want to give their gamers a heads up so they can start checking out Pazio’s website to set up an account and get more information when Pazio formally announces this subscription service they can also find other subscription services while they are at the sight.
More Star Trek From WizKids
More news for your patrons that love games. This time it is for Wizkids’ HeroClix line. The Star Trek Expeditions Expansion set to hit stores in October. This game is based on the J.J. Abrams recent Star Trek movie. Like I said your gamers that like HeroClix will be interested in this, but also your patrons that like Star Trek will be interested in this news as well.
WizKids goes to the Stars
WizKids is planning on releasing Star Trek Fleet Captains gaming set. However, instead of having characters from the shows on stands they will have starships from the shows.
