Marvel United: X-Men All In - Unboxing & Rambling

[@BryceChristiansen]

As a comic book reader, this video was hilarious to watch. Genuinely fun to watch you go through this the best you can when SOOOO much of this set are not in any mainstream MCU stuff yet. Great unboxing and rambling.

[@BoardGameCo]

Thanks Bryce :)

[@andyherman5169]

Another actor who’s played two heroes is Ben Affleck - Batman and Daredevil in the classic movie 😆

[@BoardGameCo]

Ah good call! Should have thought of that one.

[@aguywhocodes]

That was in fact Cyclops in the Phoenix Five box. It’s from the Avengers Vs X-men crossover where basically the Phoenix Force was returning to earth they thought Hope would be the host, instead it gave it’s powers to five X-Men: Cyclops, Colossus, Namor, Emma Frost, and Magik. Great story.

[@fireshrine77]

FYI Alex, that's normal Logan. Old Man Logan comes separately as an exclusive for the all in pledge

[@BoardGameCo]

Got him as well :)

[@Pokephantom]

Oh man, Seeing all those boxes, that's just so many boxes. I'm excited for when we get it!

[@Nozdormu1982]

I completely agree Alex. You can't ever have enough of a single game. Worst case you can live in the boxes :P.

[@successfulgeek]

That was one heck of a Monopoly unboxing!

[@WhatUpRob]

Just remembered a few more actors playing two characters: Jeffery Wright as The Watcher and Jim Gordon Hailee Steindeld as Kate Bishop and Spider-Gwen (animated) Willem DeFoe as Norman Osborne/Green Goblin and the character in Aquaman

[@PhilipMB]

Pick and choose? I want a full 20min breakdown of EVERY character.

[@BoardGameCo]

I'll be right back, as soon as I play them all ;)

[@successfulgeek]

Those sentinels look so cool! It was very hard to choose which expac to get but I went with Apocalypse because I loved him and the 4 horsemen in the comics.

[@eprohoda]

Hiya!,BoardGameCo! what a unusual picture~;))

[@BoardGameCo]

:)

[@paulb2474]

Can you do me a favor and shoot a video on how to store all the Marvel united regular and X-men

[@Oaklestat]

I had so much fun unboxing these at home

[@BillyTheRealDeal]

Great job Alex. This was was my first all in kickstarter. I got both pledges after playing the retail of the original. So much content. Probably going to cut pieces loose. Just because it's so much content to table. Always love your perspective.

[@BoardGameCo]

Thanks Billy :)

[@randalladkins7452]

This was my first all-in, and my second Kickstarter ever after Longshot: The Dice Game! I missed the original Marvel United, so I went all-in on everything here to get all for both campaigns!

[@lotterwinner6474]

This was the last kickstarter that I backed. Talk about going out with a bang.

[@bonse3476]

For now...

[@lotterwinner6474]

@@bonse3476 12 months strong but the castles of burgundy deluxe project is looking very tempting...

[@max6jay]

I just got mine too and it took 2 row on my shelf lol. Still overwhelmed to open as as I got both the all in pledges this time

[@stevensum2011]

Not backing any more KS for while....just received my shipping cost for marvel zombies. It cost nearly more than half the price of the game!

[@BoardGameCo]

Yeah, I've seen the numbers and they're not cool

[@zenoasis43]

Love watching your videos. Definitely feel you know what you are talking about more then some other channels on board games

[@kevinsayers5985]

This is literally exactly why I don't back CMoN stuff anymore other than the occasional deluxe base box.

[@CheddahSlammer]

You probably should watch the old X-Men cartoon, would give insight on many of these characters that you don't know.

[@BoardGameCo]

I started it briefly, but too many things to do otherwise :-)

[@MrScrawnjuan]

Seeing all of those boxes I'm happy with my 6 boxes I chose. Enough content for me haha.

[@BoardGameCo]

Lol yep :)

[@sidneyleejohnson]

Of 24 boxes in my MU combined all-in both stretch goal boxes and gold team inserts were broken, 3 outer boxes were dented/dinged. Firestarter cards were misprinted colorwise. Villlian cardboard expansion had 1 sheet duplicated and missing another. Yes had a higher expecation. Just compare Awaken Realms packaging techiques vs CMON its light and day. That said I am also trying to figure out if I care if I plan on rejecting insert (it doesnt support sleeved cards anyway). The dupe missing thing should not require us to individually submit tickets. Nor should fixing Firestarter but having never played MU I dont know if that matters. I might decide to consolidate boxes so maybe I don't need to worry about the 3 damaged boxes.. still they need to do better...

[@marvinp90]

God CMON cheaped out majorly on the packaging. I got the all in for both X-men and the original United and all but 3 inserts were destroyed and unusable. The shipping boxes had not packaging and the inserts were very thin and cheap which compared to AR like you said is so vastly different. AR feels like they actually care that people enjoy their products while CMON honestly feels like after the boxes are shipped they don't give one whit what happens

[@sidneyleejohnson]

@@marvinp90 Exactly. I think folks influencers (cough cough) need to be exerting a lot more influence about setting standards regarding crowdfunding quality control which includes shipping and handling. If AR can do it and pass the costs on to backers so can CMON. Companies should not be resting on their laurels like CMON does but then again Lego keeps using the same ridiculous packaging for the last 20 years too... sigh.

[@marvinp90]

@@sidneyleejohnson It's especially disappointing cause this was the KS that got me into board gaming and I have been so excited about it only to have to end up having to spend a crapton more money to put together ad hoc storage option to safely store the cards and minis so I could play them

[@sidneyleejohnson]

@@marvinp90 I just got the game and am exploring storage options.

[@foodini666]

you guys kind of sound like the same type of trolls that troll every cmon kickstarter ... i've gotten multiiple games from them with 0 issues.

[@rexation8952]

I agree on all my KickStarters coming in at the same time...started with Isle of Cats expansion and Canvas expansion last month, and this month is Wonderland's War, Tome: The Light Edition (trick-taking card game), Marvel United X-men, Hidden Leaders, and the new re-issue of Fjords.

[@emspring]

I hope you are all prepared for the shipping cost for Marvel Zombies. I have been enjoying Marvel United and X-men so far, not sure if I could stomach upgrading my $1 pledge for that one. At least Zombicide BP/GH and Massive Darkness 2 will scratch that itch.

[@matthewaitchison3328]

Right? I just paid shipping for my Marvels Zombies pledge and was nearly double what CMON initially estimated. Ouch.

[@aSyphodias]

Yup, not upgrading my $1 pledge. Just getting the base game one wave shipping (so after everybody else) cost the same as getting base + xmen core + an expansion at retail. Shame about the SG characters though.

[@pallidmask3822]

Dude… when all of this arrived I had this “What have I done” moment… I put it aside in a corner and still have PTSD from it lol no idea where I’m going to put it all.

[@randalladkins7452]

You too, huh? :)

[@rogerstone9353]

I expect this to happen to me when Massive Darkness 2 arrives

[@excalipoor]

i have a rboken insert for the stretch goal box too.

[@ketami2]

Currently Marvel Disney owns everything Marvel except the Spiderman verse. Spiderman, his villians and most other associated with him are owned by Sony. Disney bought the x-men, fantastic four and a number of other characters when they bought nearly all of fox studios assets in maybe 2018? 2019? So things are gonna be interesting.... Edit: Chris Evens was Humam Torch and Captain America, Michael B Jordan was Killmonger and the Human Torch in another Fantastic Four movie. I think there was another....

[@BoardGameCo]

Nice, good call on Michael

[@rolf9018]

You've also got Jared Leto as Joker/Morbius and Micheal Keaton as Batman/Vulture

[@koonfasa]

I… still need the Marvel United core game! I haven’t seen it yet. How’s this compared to Heroes of the Grid? There seems to be a lot of convergent similarities.

[@dallasuphold1745]

In the KS campaign, Namur is a purple anti-hero...

[@dallasuphold1745]

Nevermind thats the phoenix force version

[@Brothercrow]

Of course Aquaman is in Harry Potter not the MCU!! love it

[@ChadHensley]

Mine came in over the weekend and I'm looking to get my playmat tomorrow. Definitely guilty of going all-in when I probably shouldn't have. It's going to be a crazy few months, with Wonderland's War having arrived a week earlier and several other Kickstarters coming in in the next few months, including the one I've been waiting on the longest, Manhattan Project Energy Empire Cold War expansion. I appreciate your rambling videos more than I logically should.

[@zenmazster]

I find "too much coffee" alex very amusing and endearing.

[@randalladkins7452]

50:41 - My best guess, is if there is another “United” Kickstarter, it’s going to be DC characters (Batman, Superman, Namor ;P).

[@BoardGameCo]

I'm curious if that would happen.

[@randalladkins7452]

@@BoardGameCo I’m sure it will come down to licensing deals, but Eric Lang has done it before with Dice Masters (though he had Wizkids licensing help there), which was originally just Marvel Dice Masters. I CMON trying it if they thought they could make money from it and could get the license.

[@Qyro]

Uploaded just in time for the Marvel Zombies pledge manager!

[@BoardGameCo]

Yep....sticker shock on that.

[@revol40]

One of the few who actually got the shipment.

[@seansmith2650]

Is this what chasing serotonin looks like?

[@foodini666]

i got mine today too. i kind of ran out of room in my kallax shelves so whatever comes next in the mail is going to be an issue.

[@Qyro]

Another comment, but other actors who’ve played 3 different characters in super hero movies; Christian Bale was Batman and will be the villain in Thor 4 Michael Keaton was Batman and Vulture Kenneth Choi was in First Avenger and played his principle grandson in Homecoming Gemma Chan was a Kree warrior in Captain Marvel and Sersi in Eternals Liam Neeson was Darkman and Ras al Ghul

[@JustinandHanna]

I know this isn't related to this video really but is it possible for you to do a breakdown of the marvel zombies pledge manager that just opened. It would be nice to know if it makes sense to back additional base pledges (knowing they'd be cheaper in retail) to get the extra set of stretch goals and whether they would hold their value well with the astronomically high shipping. $155 to the US for the All-in without additional add-ons

[@johnhartley4852]

Waiting for mine so excited

[@TheNellie1978]

Doug Jones played Abe Sapien in Hellboy I & II and the Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

[@raist78231]

Marvel bought the xmen ip back from Fox so they own it now :). I mean they always owned the comic rights but now they own all the rights movies etc...

[@BoardGameCo]

Nice, totally forgot about that

[@Unreal_BE]

I only own the base game of marvel united. You think getting this base game so only owning both base games would be worth it?

[@BoardGameCo]

Possibly, it would definitely give you some variety.

[@mremixed]

Ugh man, I am going crazy waiting for this game to get here. The only notice I've gotten so far is for the playmat to arrive this weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed the base game so I can't wait for the rest to get here.

[@TheCamBeard]

I'm in the exact same boat. Feel your pain.

[@RedWintyr]

Same

Remembered another one! Nicholas Cage was Ghost Rider and Spider-Man Noir (animated)

I have to do my unboxing as well, waiting on the playmat though. So excited to get these painted and played, but saying that we still have a lot from the original Marvel United to paint.

[@gaelrebmann9629]

Hey Alex, thank you for your always amazing content. Since you just showed us stuff (Marvel related) from CMON, I am thinking that I'd love you to comment on the crazy situation with shipping fees for Marvel Zombies. Maybe in the next "week in review"?

[@BoardGameCo]

I plan on, not this week, I filmed that already.

[@pikkdogs]

Lucky, I still have at least another month before mine get here.

[@stevekozlowski5963]

I spent last weekend sorting this monster....so much stuff. Just crazy. And Massive Darkness 2 will be arriving soon too...ugh. I need more storage space, lol

[@WhatUpRob]

Definitely could be wrong here but Evangeline Lilly was Betty Brant, or at least some person working in the Daily Bugle in the Tobey Spider-Man, and she is Wasp, so not a super hero for one but is for the other.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

So. So glad that I did not get any of this... Very cute, but that's a ton of space and money for something that I would not play much.

[@BoardGameCo]

Totally reasonable for most people for sure

[@danielmarlett1421]

I suddenly feel better about spending $70 on the Village Inn expansion for Village.

[@BoardGameCo]

Lol yep

i'm looking for this game in kickstarter versione but is impossible

[@Conifer_Gamer]

Got one box with a few of the expansions but still missing the second box with main game and several other expansions and the stretch goals. So half my stuff is still at Quartermaster in limbo lol

[@IlanMuskat]

My pledge wasn't exactly "bare minimum", but even if it were, Core Box + Promo Box + X-Force is an ENORMOUS quantity of miniatures, and lots of villains. The add-ons I went with were Future Past (those sentinels were irresistible!), the extra game mode-adding Blue Team (to get those '90s Animated Series characters), and Fantastic Four -- because I keep thinking one day they'll get a new comic series or movies that really do them justice!

[@WhatUpRob]

Oscar Isaac was Apocalypse and now Moon Knight aka Mr. Knight aka Mark Spector aka you get the idea

[@WhatUpRob]

Evan Peters was Quicksilver and Ralph Boner lmao

[@fan-i-am]

FYI some owners haven't noticed this yet but, in the Days of Future Past box, there's Sentinel Challenge Cards. On Sentinel 3 it can actually "grab" ur Hero. Ur instructed to put ur Hero mini in the sentinel's hand! He can walk away with u, and u only break free by using a "Move" icon. Also, when u play against Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch, DO NOT look at the Masterplan cards beforehand! There's a cool surprise in one of their abilities. First Class is good for kids or newbies because of the Danger Room. Storage Solution! Tinkering Paws has a storage solution for the deluxe All-In Pledge! Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoaWZGZ5m92Gqpo If u don't wanna pay for it then this is the next best affordable solution: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rITZdYB-qMdmeqc just purchase a card-box & dividers!

[@randalladkins7452]

A feldher box or two might be good/better for protective minis storage from what I’ve looked at. (The guy in your second link’s miniatures are sure to break at some point). I’ve also seen someone on KZbin just display his painted minis on a wall and just put all the cards, locations, dashboards, and tokens in a box with red and blue pawns to replace the minis for easier portability and play. (The minis are great, wonderful for painting, but truly unnecessary for actually playing the game. They could have done the same with flat tokens with stickers on them of the character you are using, but where is the toy factor in that! :)).

[@fan-i-am]

@@randalladkins7452 Yeah I agree. A box for the cards, box for the components and Feldher type case for minis. 3 boxes in all!

[@randalladkins7452]

So fun watching you go through this when you never watched the 90’s X-Men cartoon, the New Mutants movie (Fire sword girl :)), or read the comics in the 80’s, 90’s, or when Avengers vs X-Men happened (I missed that one too and don’t read X-Men now, but heard some about Hope Summers, Krakoa, Bishop, Cable, and other recent storylines). I grew up with X-Force (“Cable was in a movie,” Domino was in that same movie with her power of luck 🍀 :)), Apocalypse, Sinister, Excalibur, X-Factor, Gen X, and the Blue and Gold teams. I saw the Dark Phoenix Saga in the 90’s X-Men Cartoon. I read through X-Tinction Agenda, the Legacy Virus, and the Phalanx Saga amongst other stories from that era! Since Rina said she watched the 90’s cartoon, it would have been fun to watch her go through these boxes with you! :). Loved your attempts at this (to be fair, X-Men can be quite convoluted like Cable or Psyloke/Kwanon/Betsy Braddok’s origin stories!)

[@WhatUpRob]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before in the comments: The Old Man Logan you kept saying during the Days of Future Past opening wasn’t the Old Man Logan, just a version of Logan During the First Class opening and the discussion around Marvel/Sony and who makes what movies, Marvel now because they bought Fox has the rights to make X-Men and F4 films, Sony has Spider-Man, and Universal Studios has Hulk and Namor.

[@WhatUpRob]

And a fun nuisance to the Spider-Man deal, Sony contractually has 5 years and some odd months to make a Spider-Man movie from the time the last movie came out, and if they don’t the right to Spider-Man films revert back to Marvel. Literally it’s that simple and the NPR Plant Money podcast has the fact check. This is why the Amazing Spider-Man films with Andrew Garfield came out so fast after the Tobey Spider-Man 3 film. The nuisance with Universal I believe, fact check from a New Rockstars videos, which one I can’t remember, Hulk can appear in a team up movie hence why we’ve seen him in the MCU, but he can’t have his own headlined movie title i.e. Hulk 3: Hulk Smash.

The original two X-men are good, if a little dated by today's standards. Not every character was handled with care, but there is a many great ones. First class and days of future's past is also amazing. Logan is perhaps the best of them all. Everything else though is on the bad end of superhero movies.
