I put in an order with SMG for Bios Genesis and Khyber Knives. I also ordered Pax Porfiriana Collector's Edition. Mostly really interested in Eklund games right now, and sad I missed out on Barnes' copy of Greenland which would have sat nicely with my Neanderthal.
mindoddity.com has Dreadball for $28, with teams for $9 each. $10 flat rate shipping. It's tempting, but I don't know if any of those teams are worthwhile. I had a look on BGG comments but it's a minefield of opinions. It seems like the rulebooks for S2 and S3 may be needed depending on what teams you play. Ultimate might be fun to play six at a time, or might be total nonsense.
Maybe I should divert my efforts to Blood Bowl, though.
DB is about to have a KS for its second edition that you can read about in the following links. I wrote up a DB front page article some time back. The game plays very fast at about 1-1.5 hours, yet has all the modelling, league play, etc of BB. Also complete teams are dirt cheap. Love this game. I have about 9 teams I want to finish painting before I buy more, but this sale has me considering some others.
There's room for both DB and BB...especially at these prices. It won't hurt to buy the base game and an extra team or two...you could set up and play a 4 team league for under $50.
Thanks! I did see you asking the same kinds of questions a year ago on BGG...
I have about $100 in the cart now- DBO, Ultimate (Season 3 rules included so may as well), four additional teams and Season 2 rule book. Seems that you need the books for the teams.
It looks like some of the teams are "expansions" for teams, not complete teams in themselves. I also see on Amazon "League" versions with more figures.
I've been slowly getting back into minis in general, with building and painting Shadows of Brimstone, and I think some people will play DBO as they're old BB fans.
Update! Heh. While I was procrastinating, half of what I had in my cart went out of stock. I guess that made the decision for me.
There is some confusion on the marketing with the DB1 release. The first three seasons were sold as core sets, then a booster with alternate sculpts and some prone markers. seasons 4-6 are all in one, though less. So, getting a 'league edition' means a team from season 1-3 that is complete. these are the best bets. A 'booster' is an expansion and not enough minis for a team. DB2 will sort this all out and these minis will still be legit. The prices are fantastic.
Funny timing, but I actually wrote up a trial blog post this morning and it's about...Dreadball (to include boosters).

Ordered the 3 expansions I didn't have for Dungeon Fighter, thus completing the collection. I was prompted by an email from miniaturemarket.com that listed 2 of them on clearance, and we enjoy the game enough that more variety will always be appreciated. Yesterday we played with the earth expansion for the first time. It's fun, although the "standee" assembly for the rock arch and the rock wall really suck. I'll need to tape them up or something since the stands always fall out of the slots.
Jumped on the MTG Arena Innistrad and played around with it over the weekend. I enjoy the additions but I'll definitely be trying out some additional Heroscape terrain. I also feel like I need another base set now that we have dual-color Planeswalkers in order to have enough spell cards if someone decides to play a summoner who has color overlap with their opponent.
I noticed that Tobago is getting scarce and picked up a copy from gamesurplus. It's one of those games I've always wanted to pick up for the family but kept putting on the back burner.
I'm also picking up an extra copy of Loopin' Chewie after getting some adapters that let you hook up 3 more arms to the set
I've always been tempted by the DC deck building game and found a used bundle of the first 3 sets, 2 crisis expansions, 2 crossover packs, and the assorted promos for $50 (that's like $35 USD!) so figured I'd pick it up and try it out.
