Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[Stairwell]

I wonder about Zavvi (the UK distributor). It doesn't show all the same unlock goals.. does this mean UK customers won't get all of the same unlocks as the US & Canada? That would be stupid, I hope that's not true... I mean, Stephen Baker... the UK... if his quest pack isn't included, I'd be


From an earlier post of mine:

I don't normally read their Twitter page, so I missed a few things...

It's been mentioned, but a big KUDOS for this (available in the UK via Zavvi).


I wonder if that's a typo though.. 149.99 British pounds is more than 149 US dollars (more like $193.66).

And EB Games (Australia). $300 (equivalent to $212.44 USD). It says "available September 2021" which is cool.

and Might Ape (New Zealand) gives release date as Oct 31, 2021. $329 (equivalent to 217.38 USD)

The EB Games (Australia) link seems to be broken... I feel for my Aussie friends! Hopefully that's just a mistake. The MightyApe Link also disappeared. I wonder if this has something to do with the fundraiser ending? Hoping they clarify this situation soon. Zavvi's page reads:

Sorry, unfortunately this product is currently out of stock. Add it to your wishlist to receive a back in stock email notification.

Hope Hasbro clarifies on the international releases soon. Speaking of which... they need to release a set in Japan... you know it needs to happen! And Brazil!

EB Games page missing is normal for them once a product is no longer available, in this case pre order is closed so they got rid of the page. They initially only had a couple of unlocks listed, on the last day they had up to 3mil I think.. maybe 2.6 or something, I assume they just didn't bother to update the page more than once or twice.

Zavvi did say in the description that we would get new unlocks by hitting each additional stretch goals.

I took screenshots of the full description

So, a weird variant quest book for Japan and paper minis for Brazil?

FYI the amount funded on the project has jumped this morning about $75K.

Currently at $3,775,444.

Close to unlocking the Gargoyle.

Lets hope there is more.

Most likely, those were the last UK orders from friday's last hurrah.

But hopefully, something will happen - either a "recount" that brings the sum up, or more orders are found... and we'll get higher.

Worst case, I still hope for the possibility of a purchasable add-on (15-20$ range seems fair for a set of rules, tiles, and a new mini. Add a chunk of other minis like RotWL and KK, and you've got a 25$ expansion just there!)

still waiting for Zavvi to take my payment

[cynthialee]

there was something wrong with our payment, didn't go through so we had to fix that

no idea why it didn't work the first go around but we are paid now

I don't know if it is actually the same case here in this situation, but I know that Brazil (and similar in india) has or had weird laws stating that toy manufacturing has to be done by a Brazilian company. He-man toys sold there were just licensed by mattel and actually made by another subcontracting company. I've always speculated that the original HeroQuest variant there with the paper minis was a result of that, perhaps they couldnt find a local manufacturer for the plastic minis, or come to an agreement with games workshop or milton bradley for the molds. Also the reason behind so many South American bootleg toys.

most minis these days cost $15-$20 dollars by themselves in that presumed size ( small dragon) let alone a boxed expansion with more stuff. I would expect retail $150 and boxed expansions $35-$40 or even $50-$60 if a lot of minis are included, assuming any of this ever sees store shelves at all.
I am worried that the new Quest books will not come in a boxed Quest Pack at all like the old game did, just the booklet. only KK and ROTWL will have a box for sure.
Im betting they stick to their guns and the questbook PDF file that Joe wrote got deleted or archived, and the mini design and artwork gets recycled to something else not HeroQuest. It didn't get funded and that's that.

Hopefully the orders from Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Alaska get finished being counted, and we hit that gargoyle statue.
