I definitely prefer them!<br /><br />I have a Teraton team (basically, turtles) to paint up for Dreadball right now. I'm now debating whether to paint them lime green, or whether to stick with the "official" yellow-brown skin colour.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-17829342125985619092016-09-11T23:52:51.823+01:002016-09-11T23:52:51.823+01:00Cheers, Jez.

Maybe I just have the knack for turning them or maybe I haven't found a stubborn base.

They seem all round to be a welcome `new` addition to the game, within the Clix community itself. But if you are not a Heroclix player... the bases become a moot point, in which case removing them from their bases would seem the best option, for those so inclined.Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-81698237712203602562016-09-10T15:29:25.259+01:002016-09-10T15:29:25.259+01:00Thanks, Roger.

They are a fantastic set, and I would happily advise anyone considering this set to lap up the amazingly cool current offer on Amazon.uk at the moment. I comfortably predict that within the not too distant future, this rare gem of a set will be reaching massively high prices on eBay, as nowhere else will have it in stock.

"Greebo Games" still seem somewhat reliable in that they only sent me a single mouser, having ordered three, and soon sent me the missing pair recently. Not sure if that assures you or not.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-55186347522352218272016-09-09T12:24:25.166+01:002016-09-09T12:24:25.166+01:00Check out the Amazon link I posted, Andy.
