All the info is right on Wizkids's site. For example, the new Critical Mass
information is at:

http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figuregallery.asp?releaseid=33
This has a list of the figures. Click on each one for rarity, cost, pictur, etc.

Unfortunately, that data is badly formatted and takes hours to enter into
Card Vault (I know this first-hand, as I used it to add a few figures
myself at one point). We'd rather work on things like, for example, the
next version of Card Vault than spend 3 days copying data from web sites by
hand.

Happily, I have good news; we've just found data for Critical Mass and Indy
heroclix, so it should be only a short time before new data files are
released for them. Hurrah!
