11) Direct Purchase Special Figures (that aren't lame)
I know we had some exclusive mail purchase figures before, like Sam Wilson or Professor Zoom, but they weren’t really worth it (and don’t get me started on the Tsunami clear Hulk). What we need are some really good figures that makes the player want to own them. The Man of Steel was a very good start that had an MSRP of around $8.00. What if a figure as powerful as the E2 Superman was available directly online for $11.99 (the cost of a booster)? You'd be crazy not to get one!

12) HeroClix: Legends
How about some reprints of old figures? Imagine a Marvel Legends set or a DC Legends set that contains "reprints" of original unrestricted figures. Would players pay $12.00 for a booster that could contain KC Superman or Vet Ultimate Hawkeye from previous sets? You darned skippy they would. The nostalgia factor alone would make it very appealing to older players who are still in the game, as well as bring back those who have left. Best of all, the designs, dioals, and molds are already complete, so the profit per booster would be very high!

Well, there you go. Don’t raise the price of the booster, but raise other prices instead. I know that a number of ideas aren’t going to resonate with some of the readers, but remember that HeroClix is a business first, and currently a dead one at that. The game simply must be profitable for its new owners to justify its existence, and I’m hoping that increasing the price of a booster is not the first option.
