Hasbro 2021 Remake: Public Unboxings ARE HERE!

[Xoxxala]

The two issues most new streamers/youtubers have are lighting and audio. You will need plenty of light from multiple angles to avoid shadows.

But a good microphone is probably the single most useful upgrade. Viewers will forgive most everything, but if they have difficulty listening to you, they are likely to not finish the video (according to many content creators).

Good luck with your video!

Quick question for everyone. I am one of the unboxing volunteers, however, I must admit - I have never streamed live or uploaded to Youtube. Terrible, I know.
I do have an iPhone 13 Pro, and a stand. And, I have a webcam for work.
Suggestions for what platform or equipment I may need to make this good for all of you? And be more detailed in your responses than you think you need to be. Assume I know nothing of the tech, which I probably don't.

Your phone do excellent videos already. I guess Kurgan was asking to receive all the videos and then he will edit and put it online.

It doesn't have to be "live" just comprehensive in terms of answering questions we have (see page one).

As for collecting all the videos and putting them together...

That is an idea... I was more thinking I would Twitch Stream my own unboxing (unless I'm beaten to the punch), but if others want to host their files somewhere they can just share the links in this thread (or better yet, I'll start a NEW ONE and post a link to it here).

The point will be to get all the questions answered so the rest of us can decide if we want to rip open the shrink wrap / place future orders.

I could certainly gather photos and/or videos anyone wants to send me (email kurganx @ mediacombb . net ) <--- remove spaces
if you don't mind them featured on my twitch page (HeroQuestFans) and later Youtube channel (backup).

We just got a new email declaring:

Greetings HeroQuest Backers,



Thank you for your patience as we work to get you more definitive answers to your shipping questions. As many of you may already know, the shipping industry is dealing with unprecedented issues and concrete information is difficult to share as the situation can quickly change. We targeted this campaign to deliver in the Fall of 2021 and we have worked hard to meet that deadline.

Now for the good news!

For Mythic tier backers, the last of the shipments have arrived to our warehouse and we have begun printing shipping labels! That means you may be seeing a tracking number generated, but please don’t be alarmed if you don’t see movement right away. As soon as your incredible chest of quests officially ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email from us.

We hope you are as excited as we are to get HeroQuest to the table soon, and we’d love to see that excitement. The team launched an Instagram page for @AvalonHillGames, so feel free to share your heroic adventures.



Game on!

- The Hasbro Pulse Team

So it may not be long now, guessing 1-2 weeks, if I'm reading that right, but who is to say any of us volunteers will be among them. Keep us informed!
I logged into my HasbroPulse and it said status "Unfulfilled" so that's where I am as of right now.

[Kurgan]

Also, does anyone want to be signed up beyond the list so far, or have your name removed? Let me know. You can post here or PM me.

If possible I'd like to help coordinate by sending out a group email. Can each of you respond and send me a way to contact you?

FainFlynn reports a delivery date of Nov 8th.

Edit: a few adjustments...

Fulfillment Status Unfulfilled

[Kurgan]

Some people on reddit are posting stuff but still we need hard data on the textual changes/additions, so there's still a need for an unboxing at this time.

[Kurgan]

IT'S HERE!!!! But my copy won't arrive until Tuesday afternoon CST. (don't forget to set your clocks back this Sunday for those observing Daylight Savings Time!)

In the meantime pics are being posted. But one thing they're really lacking in, is proper measurements next to the classic minis and content of the booklets in terms of textual changes/additions (spoilers or otherwise). Reddit and facebook seem to be the places to see these sights but we're posting up and linking what we find.

Edit: Updated the questions on the first page OP that still need answering.

[Kurgan]

The first unboxing has been posted! Credit where credit is due (and thanks to muscularis for posting and Shadzar for alerting me to it). From Cosmic Tavern on youtube.

I haven't had a chance to see the whole thing so there may be a few things not answered yet.

A few early thoughts and comments are here, will get the list updated as I run through it. Feel free to ask him questions on his youtube comments section!
