What would you do with MotM & FH?

Postby TMU » January 26th, 2013, 5:59 am

As I have been looking at the Ebay auctions for these, I found myself thinking of "What would I do with Elf Quest Pack and Barbarian Quest Pack if I would get them?" Although it's probably only in my wildest dreams that I'd get them 'cause they go over 300$ + 70$ shipping :bites-lip:

In the end, I thought to myself like this: 20% of me would be shocked for getting the games, 40% of me would be thinking of selling games for more :2cents: than bought them, and another 40% of me would be keeping the games.

What would you guys do if you'd get Mage of the Mirror and/or Frozen Horror? :elf: :barbarian:

Definitely keeping and painting them! I'm into this for the gaming, not profit! ;)
But man would I really like to own especially the Barbarian quest pack! It has the best minis and rooms in my opinion.

On the topic- Has anyone else noticed the prices have seemingly gone up? They used to go for ~£200. Now they are closer to £300.

If by chance I'd get them in my possession, I'd definitely keep them.

Supply and demand guys. Must be why nobody is duping them in resin. No reason not to, and we can print everything else. I myself don't care to have the originals and would happily sell them to someone who really wants it without gouging him.

I DO like original skull dice...

I would certainly keep them and play them, though I would not paint them.
Sure it's pretty scary when the witch lord returns but what you should really be afraid of is "Resurrection of the Witch Lord". Resurrected baddies always come back more threatening than ever, usually kind of demonic with wings and horns and hell fire to announce their arrival. Think Gannondorf or Mother Brain from Super Metroid.

I recently got these expansions for a great price and I've already started playing the Barbarian Quest Pack and using the female elf and barbarian figures for the ladies in my HeroQuest group. A few of the minis were painted, but I had great results using Simple Green and now they look good as new. I've done well selling HeroQuest games and parts on eBay and I could certainly make a big profit if I wanted to, but these two expansions will remain a part of my collection where they will be utilized the way they were intended.

I have a very particular taste and not all Heroquest expansions appeal to me. I don't like the art style of both "Against the Ogre horde" and "Mage of the Mirror" so I would never buy them. I do however, absolutely love the art style in The Frozen Horror. I own the recasts and printed everything but still, I would be willing to pay a lot for a original set. However, current prices are just too high. If I get, I would of course, play the *lemony goodness* out of it :P

I'd give them to another forum member that was a member for suggesting he should get them. :mrgreen:
