I have a Marvel subscription from Team Covenant and just got an email that FFG did not allocate enough product to its retailers, therefore my order would be delay 4-6 weeks. 
FFG is becoming experts on killing their own products.

After all this time,  she hulk is still my favorite hero to play. Of the hero packs,  Captain America or doctor strange are tied for my favorite! Truthfully the only hero pack I have not liked is the black widow pack, It's just not fun to me. And green goblin is the best scenario pack.

I really can't speak for anyone else, but the complete lack of supply for the expansions has killed by interest in this game.
You would think that FFG would have learned their lesson with Arkham Horror, but no.  And given that this is a much more visible license than Lovecraft, you would think that they would have been better prepared this time around.

I very seriously doubt TC knew this was happening. In their last podcast, they talked about the FFG firings and Zack mentioned many times how that means they can focus more on their big producers like the Co-op LCGs, Keyforge, X-wing, Legion, and Destiny. There's no way they knew this was coming from the discussions had in that podcast.

Spoilers Ahead!
New LOTR player here and wow is this tough!  I thought I was kicking butt and was thinking wow how is this rated 7 difficulty.  Then the four trolls with 10 health appear and absolutely stomp me!  Their crazy abilities are nothing to sneeze at either.  And I thought AH LCG had some rough scenarios!

I'm probably preaching to the choir a bit here - but I put together a little preview article. https://boardgamegeek.com/blogpost/96102/marvel-champions-preview-most-accessible-lcg 

Is that the $100 version?  Love the full bleed but I don't think I'd be saving much money lol

The rules are usually released a week or so before the official release date. So... maybe next week?
 
ETA: We ended up getting them on the 25th. So next week it was!

If you go to boardgamegeek.com's marketplace there are a couple copies of Khazad-dum for sale for a reasonable price. But in general having to wait for reprints can be a problem. I've kept up with the card pool for the last few years, but even before sourcing was an issue I'd usually just purchase whatever I'd find on sale. It's the most efficient way to maximize your player cards and ultimately give you the most options. If money is a factor at all, I wouldn't invest in a second Core until you have most of the other material. Those few extra powerful cards are useful, but you'll get so much more for your money buying 3 new packs instead. I'd also second Wilds of Rhovanian, as it - more than any other expansion - has a strong, playable out of the box strategy.

Your best bet is still ringsdb.com. If you need it offline, you can always open up a tab with the deckbuilder while you have internet connection - you'll still be able to build once you go offline. Just make sure you connect back to the internet before you try saving it.

For each set, I've usually played in about two sealed events, mostly with snake drafting. There's also usually a 'starter set' type deal with each set, though these are often skip-able if you don't care about the characters. Plus:
Wave 1 - Two boxes, had to buy a fair amount of singles and a few trades. Have the vast majority of the set, I think only missing one rare character and the two super rares. Distribution was notably less even in the first set though. 
Wave 2 - Two boxes. Opened one, then drafted the other box with a friend. Felt like I overpurchased a little, after one draft and trading I had pretty much the whole set with some left over excluding the super rares. I think I was missing a playset for a handful of cards, and in the draft I was picking crap I didn't need.
Wave 3 - One and a half boxes each  for three players, then we all drafted. Came out really well,  I think two of us ended up missing one (non super rare) character, and we got a lot of 2/3 playsets.  It was enough that the second limited event we did managed to fill most of the gaps.
As you can probably tell, Super Rares are the usual 'chase' card, and the main thing that drives up costs if you want everything - currently there's four per set, and they come out at slightly better odds than one per two boxes. Fortunately, most of them aren't 'power cards' - there's only been one that was 'meta', with a few 'fairly good' and some that are quite bad. So unless you are a collector you can generally treat them as getting lucky rather than something you need. 
From memory, you'd need 4-5 good boxes of Destiny, or heavy trading/single buying, to get that kind of collection coverage and boxes seem to be roughly around the same price excluding specials. 
(And I will now stop shilling another game on FFGs forums, my apologies if this pisses anyone off).
 

The preview article makes it sound like you won't be able to log/track statistics for your decks in casual play (only in organized/tournament play).  It seems like that's something that would be really easy to have multiple categories/types of play that are tracked separately so you can easily see which of your decks you have wins with in each of the formats.  I really hope this is something that is being considered for the future in addition to on-line play.

Number of boosters to divide a box up between friends is irrelevant really. 9 each is fine.
What my friends and i do for legendaries is they are part of the rotation like the other cards, but when were done we regather all 6 legendaries and starting with the person that won we pick one. With 4 people i imagine you'd just loop around and 1st place picks the 5th legendary as well as the 1st.
We just keep the nonlegendaries we grabbed via the roundrobbin. None of them are really worth the effort to put back together like the legendaries, if you want any of them thats what trading is for.

I'm not sure. If it's an LCG yes, if it's a CCG most defiantly not. I like to know what I'm buying. CCGs are pretty much buy to win, with a big singles market, Paying silly money for a single card. 
ANR was pretty much a 10 bucks a month game, another reason I played it, it was a cheap game. I played SW destiny and was constantly spending over the odds for a piece of card and opening packs that were pretty useless. If you wanted to play a tournament you would have to spend alot. With the LCG, it was cheap and we all had the same stuff at an affordable price. It created a much better feeling for the game and community. LCGs= Who's the best at the game, CCGs=who's spent the most to win this game.

I feel you.  I've been with ANR from the start and while it had its ups and downs, nothing else came close in a card game.  I also feel like the rug has been pulled out but no surprise based on FFG's track record of horrible communication to their player base.  
I've owned both AGOT and L5R and IMHO they are mediocre games at best when placed against ANR.  At least FFG owns the license to L5R but then the release cycle ruined the game in our area.  
I guess there's still a very slim chance that WOTC may pick it up since Lukas Litzinger is there now but I highly doubt it when they have the MTG cash cow.  
I'll still play FFG board games but no more CCGs/LCGs for me.

Well in this case I am just going to play with ALL NETRUNNER CARDS. Parasite included. No need for 2.0.

Thank you and **** you again FFG

The problem, though, is that the game developers deceived us. They originally told us that packs would be rolling out one per month. Now that our core sets have been preordered and delivered and we're somewhat committed to the game now, they spring this on us? Instead of $15 a month now we have to pay $60 one month and $30 the next (to say nothing of shipping and handling)? Not all of us have excessive amounts of money to drop on these games. One of the selling points of the LCG model is that it's cheaper than the CCG model, but that's merely an illusion. It didn't cost me nearly this amount of money to start playing L5R the CCG, nor did it cost me nearly this amount of money to have a competitive deck.

That is why they waited until after the Core release to drop the 6 packs 6 weeks BS.
To get folks to buy the Cores.

From the Rules Reference

Bow, Bowed
* A card ability on a bowed card is active and can still engage with the game state. However, if a bowed card must bow as part of its cost to trigger an ability, it cannot bow again until it is readied, so the ability could not be triggered.

Action, Action Ability
* Unless otherwise noted by the ability, each action ability may be initiated only once each round.

All triggered abilities, on any card type, can be used:
- While bowed
- Once per round
- Can be used from home (ie. not participating in a conflict), unless the ability states otherwise (Lion's Pride Brawler must be attacking, Akodo Toturi must be participating)

 

The only cards that would be limited are the ones that have the small asterisk by the name of the card, indicating it is a unique card and so only one may be in play at a time across the entire game board.

Correct, Unique is across the entire board (see Unique, RR, p 20), with the caveat that if somehow a Unique encounter card enters play with the same title as a Unique player card, the encounter card Unique gets priority (this is impossible right now).

First question - Yes, the enemy remains there until you reenter the location. Some enemies spawn in empty locations, waiting for you to arrive...
Second question - Yes, if you evade, but remain in a location until the enemy readies, then they will re-engage, assuming it doesn't have a 'Prey-only' instruction.
Third question - Yes, you can. Each Burglary would have to be used separately, as an action. However, if you had 2 Pickpocketings out, they could both trigger on 1 evasion, I believe.

I'm not familiar with the play by post?  I assume that means a campaign or scenario is played by forum post only?  Is that correct?  If so, that sounds like a great way to learn the game from other experienced players.
