Please send us a \u00a0Facebook message to claim your prize.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Chelsey Trumbull<\/strong>\u00a0At least once a month we go as a family to a new comic book store just to check out their selection of heroclixs. We have gotten quite the collection going! We love playing as a family too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Udrea<\/strong>\u00a0My fondest Heroclix memory doesn&#8217;t have to do with pulling something or even playing the game. It has to do with the smile I put on an autistic kids face when I gave him my extra figures of his favorite characters. The mother was so happy, she nearly cried.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nDave Wilde<\/strong>\u00a0My fondest memory of Heroclix was when Wizkids actually took the time to honor the death of my Godson Zach Dakan. This was many years ago now, but he was a great player and fun person. He was the true blue Heroclix fan. They honored his mother with a factory set in his memory and I&#8217;ll never forget that. A great game is a great game, but when they give back to the community in such wonderful ways, that&#8217;s what wins me over. This memory echoes as my 14 year old son (who has autism) and I play our games. Rock on HC! Keep rolling those boxcars!<\/p>\n<p>\u202a<strong>Mario Curro <\/strong>\u202a I&#8217;ve been collecting and playing HeroClix since the original release of Marvel Infinity Challenge in 2002, but my favorite HeroClix memory happened just last year, when I got to open up and play with TMNT clix (which I&#8217;ve wanted forever!) with my 4 year old son.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeff Bozeman<\/strong>\u00a0My fondest memory happened this past summer as I was able to participate in all four months of the Civil War OP with my seven year old son!<br \/>\nWhat is most memorable is how my son was able to finish with an overall 3rd place finish in the collective event! (I finished 5th!)<br \/>\nSo thank you WizKids for allowing for such fond memories to occur then and assuredly in the future!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Fragogiannis<\/strong>\u00a0My fondest memory is probably when I finally worked up the guts to enter a local tournament with people I&#8217;ve never met. I was still very new and got destroyed but everyone was nice and inviting. I&#8217;ve since made many friends playing and enjoy it so much that heroclix is now my main hobby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evan Pel\u00e1ez<\/strong>\u00a0So many fun Heroclix memories over the years, it&#8217;s hard to choose just one favorite moment&#8230; I&#8217;m going to go with playing against a towering Stilt-Man in a recent game, just a few months ago. He had to be about a foot and a half tall! I got stomped (pun absolutely intended), but a Stilt-Man with 20 leg extensions is a sight to behold. Win-win in my book!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Isaac Duncan III<\/strong>\u00a0Fondest memories are those formed from new friendships through Heroclix. Playing once or twice a week, leaving work issues and family issues out the door and trying new strategies against other like-minded players who I would not have known without the\u00a0game. Sometimes there are days that these relationships are tested. Like the day I fronted the money for a buddy of mine to buy a brick from Superman\/Wonder Woman and he pulled a GODPACK. Yup.. It sure tested my friendship. LOL<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike Hoffman<\/strong>\u00a0One of the fondest memories I have from Heroclix was when I heard a player from a venue I judged at share on a podcast that my efforts running the clix games for the venue was the reason they still play Heroclix.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brian Poling<\/strong>\u00a0My fondest memory of heroclix was my wedding day. It was month 6 of Fear itself and my awesome wife let me go play hours before I was due at the church. So I showed up in my tux, got some great pulls, and walked away with The Serpent. My wife has informed me I am never allowed to sell it.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wizkids\/posts\/10154568675969079\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to read and share all of your awesome HeroClix memories!\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>#WeAreHeroClix<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6865,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcements"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wizkids.com\/heroclix\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
