I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since my brother and I were buying these. I remember the Alpha boosters sometimes having 2-3 uniques in EACH BOOSTER. It was a tragedy when Topps bought them, made Mage Knight 2.0 and introduced cards to the game, and killed it by banning all previous Mage Knight sets from being played with 2.0 from what I remember. Simple greed killed a great game.

Thanks for posting this! The twenty year anniversary has me putting some energy into collecting a full set of Rebellion uniques and it's fun to see that people are still excited about MK! I think Rebellion was pretty close to a perfect set!

This was an awesome video. I played MK as a kid with my friends in that 2000-2004ish era. I never had that many pieces, but I had a tough Blade Golem from unlimited and a tough Magestone Knight that were the centerpieces of my little Atlantean Empire squad. I ended up buying a couple collections from ebay years ago just so I would have a large collection to preserve the game for myself. I recently just got the itch and bought a couple boosters, can't wait for them to arrive.

It was also a cool game because common and uncommons weren’t completely useless like most card games. Some * or ** figures were better value than their *** versions, and sometimes you could slip in an extra figure under the max points into your army by using a common or uncommon.

i'm surprised no one is making these still? is hero clix still a thing? i liked how it was much more beginner friendly than 40k and the dials on the bottom were awesome. still fun today they should do another run! crazy bones had a come back why not these.
@RickKoeppen

Yep Heroclix is still pretty big from what I gather. They did a Mage Knight Resurrection set a few years back, I dont know how well it did. It had dials to use the figures with either 2.0 or Heroclix. Didn't even come with Mage Knight 2.0 rules, though. Had to download them off the site. I'm not a 2.0 fan anyway, and found the whole thing to really be just a half-hearted attempt. I still dream of a fully supported 1.0 reboot with no Heroclix ties.

It looks like there is dust between the feet on multiple figures. It sounds like you’ve had these for a long time but any concerns with repacks?
@RickKoeppen

There are definitely always repacking concerns unfortunately. But I think any dust in this case was just deterioration crumbs from the inside of the cardboard packs.
