Yeah I have two of those but scrapped them for parts, the game wasn't great. I use the tiles, boards, and Fire elementals for HeroQuest. Most of the Figures are a little lanky or scrawny for my tastes. The rest lie in my spare parts bin or Warhammer armies.

I finally got a second Wizards of Morcar :wizard: for my twin brother and an Adventure Design Kit for me. My HQ collection is now complete owning all released products, except the puzzles, magazines and the HeroQuest sticker album,which I will likely never own( I am OK with that.) There is a complete sticker album for sale online or the measly price of 5,000 dollars US. What a bargain...


Now I can sit back and cackle with glee rubbing my hands while admiring my HeroQuest Game hoard of Treasure! Muahahahaa! :chaoswarrior:

Now if only I can find that Dark World Dragon's Gate, my plans will be complete! Eh, heh, heh :skeleton:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HEROQUEST-MERLIN-STICKER-ALBUM-with-all-Cards-very-rare/112650122158?hash=item1a3a7873ae:g:QNgAAOSwETJZ50mh

Just curious what do you think a sticker album is actually worth these days? Completed? No one would ever pay 5,000 dollars obviously. I wonder what the original shelf price was... 3 dollars maybe?
a sold listings search on EBay turned up one for $150 dollars US +shipping and one with 53 stickers that sold for $21.37 UK +shipping, seems that they are pretty rare if they don't come up very often. I would've probably paid that much I suppose.

It really depends on the condition of the item. About 1,5 years ago I managed to buy a mint-condition album with no stickers inside plus all 216 stickers loose + 3 empty sticker packs for 100 euro. I know it wasn't cheap but you can't get better than that actually and I had the cash at that time. I've also bought a good conditioned album with about 200 stickers in it for 40 euro.

the guy selling it is the same selling an Elf Quest at 3.500 usd...
It is ok to pay 100 eur for a mint condition sticker album if you can, but for sure not 5.000. He is probably waiting that some Arabian prince will fall in love for Heroquest and will buy it.

Yeah, that guy is selling for ridiculous prices. Noone's gonna buy that, I believe that he's just showing off.

In terms of collecting and/or finding expansions and merchandise from overseas etc, I strongly believe that people who reside in US, UK or Australia have had the advantage of finding that stuff easier to buy.
Being born in Greece and having lived/worked here all my life, only the core game and the Kellar's Keep was released in Greek language and those were the only games of HeroQuest line that you could buy at that time.
Of course, no imports were made since they didn't care to translate them and during the 90's you wouldn't be able to sell a boardgame that was only in English language - or any other language apart from Greek for that matter. There was no ebay and also there were no thrift store/charity shops/garage sales around here. Hell, even now, the concept of a thrift store is practically unknown in these parts of Europe.
Other than that, it's pretty much a money matter. If you have enough dinero you can get pretty much every expansion /core game / board game you want. In my experience, only a few of HeroQuest merchandise items are extremely hard to find, even if you do have the cash. Those are summed up in the Brazilian magazines of Dragao, the AtOH & ADK puzzles and probably some other magazines like the Fractal Spectrum journals. The complete sticker album is also a rarity.

I dunno. I feel like we've all got a spare 11 thousand dollars lying around to spend on a complete unopened set of HQ and all US expansions, right? I mean what's that to a bunch of millionaires like us?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/HEROQUEST-USA- ... SwVNxZ5tFK

US $11,500.

Go on! Someone make this guy an offer! :lol:
