A Little Something Extra from Walmart - Attacktix Stickers

I was picking up a Walmart Exclusive Transformers Starter Set (with the Decepticlone)and in my box of Attacktix was a TF Attacktix Sticker.



I visited two other Walmart locations, and a Target, and I did not find these stickers anywhere else. I am wondering if Marvel and Star Wars variations are out there. If not, could this be a sticker that will be included in all the future Transformers Movie figures, to get the Attacktix Buzz going? The latter may make sense, considering the pulling of Transformers Attacktix from (some) Walmarts and Targets.

Please leave a comment if you have found these stickers yourself, and especially if you have a non-TF version.

More (of the same) News on Attacktix Tour UK

Please if we have ANY UK readers, please leave a comment if you went to one of the stops on the Attacktix UK Tour! Any info or pictures from the event would be GREATLY appreciated!

Check out the UK Toys R Us site as well

For decades kids have deliberated endlessly in the playground, presenting evidence for and against some of the toughest characters known to man. Yet until now the question has never been answered. Who would be the last man standing if all of the superheroes in the world contested a huge battle?

Attacktix can make it happen and finally kids can discover who the toughest, bravest superhero of all time is. With Attacktix, Spiderman can challenge Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker can team up with Optimus Prime, and The Hulk can take on Wolverine! Anything is possible.

Attacktix is a revolutionary action figure battling game with one simple goal: To be the last man standing. Each figure has a maximum number of moves similar to a piece in a game of chess and can be played on various levels for all abilities. Kids must think strategically about where to move their figures and who to pair them up against.

Now you have the opportunity to experience the world of Attacktix at a Toys R Us store near you from 17th March until 14th April 2007

For a limited period, you can take-part and experience the great Attacktix game-play. Attacktix masters will be on-hand to show you the cool skills and strategies available to defeat the opponents army.

So, why not come along and bring your own armies and show us your strongest characters and witness first hand, what is bound to be one of the best game play experiences this year!

Who Is Playing Attacktix? Attacktix Map UPDATED

Today, April 2nd, 2007 is the Two-Year Anniversary of Attacktix! I dug up this old Attacktix Players Map and figured I would give it another go-round to see if we can find out who is playing!

With TixCon coming up this month, and tons of new figures hitting stores soon, this is the perfect time to learn more about Attacktix!

-----

If you are wondering who is playing Attacktix near you, take a look at the map below! Or you can even add yourself to the map! Spread the word, and have all your Attacktix friends sign in, so we can see how far the Attacktix Community can go!

If you want to explore the map, just click on any part of the map WITHOUT a flag, and pull it in any direction. Then, once you have an area you would like to focus on, just click the "+" button to ZOOM IN! Maybe you will find me :)
