Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I was unaware of the Catalyst Game Labs bid until I read your 1st post. That led to following the link and notifying those who can post news about it. And it got on the front page.

The link I supplied is for one of heir licensed properties (also from WizKids), Shadowrun. By going to their main site you will find an active fan community discussing these new possibilities. The CGL community may be a little uninformed on some things outside their own RPG game space they are loyal and interested in what HeroClix, and its IP might become in the hands of RPG game company. A large number of WK staff have moved to CGL in the last few years of downsizing so knowledge of the line and what it takes to manage it does already exist. With luck the team at Pinata could merge with CGL to offer their Knowledge and dedication to CGLs financial strength and already established distribution partnerships.

I don’t think they have any cause to keep the properties in house. This is a big loss for everyone, WK had many great folk and I will miss their presence at the many shows around the country. Topps could have sold the company but instead gutted it and will now try to sell off the scraps. I hope that much of WK can be kept in tact and they will be picked up in whole by For my own connection to this loss, what will happen to the Battletech and Shadowrun RPGs, two games that I have been enjoying for almost 30 years now. Catalyst Games has been shepherding these RPGs ever since WK bought the properties from FASA as it closed it’s doors.

In fact as I write this I find out that Catalyst Game Labs has placed a bid to purchase the WK properties including HeroClix, the Pirates Pocket Model Game, BattleTech/MechWarrior, and Shadowrun. The complete press release can be found at http://www.shadowrun4.com/
