Are any collectible games actually alive?
Quinn- Mook
Monsterpocalypse
Axis and Allies minis
Legend of the Five Rings is still kicking I think.
As far as I know The Spoils is still going but I haven't heard anything about it in a while.
Shadowfist CCG
World of Warcraft CCG
Illuminati New World Order is still selling technically but only as a factory box set.
Despite WizKids' closure Clix still lives on.
I'm not sure about Mechwarrior but haven't heard of its demise.
There's a Conan CCG wallowing around out there I think.
Spycraft
Attacktix... I'm sure the list could grow longer but I'm going to stop looking there.
The Call of Cthulhu and Game of Thrones CCGs have converted to a "Living Card Game" format that FFG is trying out. Their Mutant Chronicles game while not completely non collectible now shows you everything in the box upfront instead of having to randomly buy until you get what you're looking for.
Edit: Seems Mutant Chronicles is no more. http://new.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=499
I won't say Collectible games are on the way out. That's been said about every other genre and they all still go on but it's definitely not the big draw it used to be.
Here's a list of games under the Collectible Components category on BGG.

Though I am about to sell off all of my Mage Knight stuff, I still enjoy a game of MK Dungeon. I'd pretty much play that whenever. Maybe someone should bring it to G3 2.2?

Maybe that someone could be you, Mark. LOL.

Always a possibility.... I'm planning on running two events, but I could add a third.
