The sales trend dropped to a moving average of ~$22K/Day over the past 5 days (since the 29th.)
8 Day average ~$39K/Day (counting from the 26th)
There are ~11 Days left in the campaign.

The alt sculpt Hammer Orcs have been unlocked and the next unlock is the female mummies. Orcs were unlocked about 6 hours before the final numbers for the day.

Overall the numbers are down over the past 5 days when looking at NA, but the international number bumps usually get added about every 6 days.

If the 5 day (which is primarily domestic only numbers) numbers continue at ~$22K/day that will only add approximately $242K to reach 2.85M. ~$149K shy of the 3M stretch goal.

At ~$16.5K/Day average like today’s NA sales for the next 11 days will not unlock the Alt-sculpt female mummies. But there is still reasonable likelihood that the global sales will make up the difference.

The 8 day trend at ~$39K (which included international numbers) would put the final total over the 3M marker, but it will depend heavily on international sales, and last minute crowdfund rushes.

To unlock the Bard and additional quest book at 3M, the crowdfunding will need to be hitting ~$35K/day. (Unless there is a substantial uptick at the end. Which as @Orc26 and others have mentioned is fairly typical. Though in no way guaranteed.) The domestic downward trend over the weekend is poor news for the 3M stretch goal and quest book.

CANON. I bet they'll go with red this time, just because that wouldn't be as cool. But the original female Heroes were blue!

Because "Mentor" and the Witch Lord are big time Wizards, they ought to be midnight blue! If there were Ogres they should be dark blue (or red), and Mercs, if they had them, ought to be gray or red. Classic!

Since they have rats and skulls, does that mean you can stick them on furniture, or will they just sit there (and have to be glued on)? The original furniture was multi-part (cardboard and plastic, sometimes multiple pieces, as in the throne, tables, chests, Alchemist Bench, etc).

Guess we won't be getting the region exclusive quest packs in the first wave. Assuming they continue to support the game, what do you think the likelihood of an ogre horde et al reprint is?

Personally I think we won't see them again. Meaning the already ridiculous prices will continue to soar.

How can you tell? You can't leave a comment on their website unless you "Contact Us".
If they were really listening they wouldn't have made the Bard.

Well, they did say in the tweet: "We heard you wanted your #HeroQuest game miniatures with some color."

As for why they're not listening about the bard? Well it's similar to how I listen to my wife, I only hear what I want to hear, the rest is ignored.

Exactly. It’s pretty clear by now that someone from Hasbro is reading social media, emails, maybe this thread too.
My thinking on this is that they have listened to some of the complaints (changed the grey miniatures to coloured ones, got Zavvi involved to try and expand distribution, made superficial changes to the Druid model etc), but they won’t be moved on one of their main positions - making HQ more like D&D
It sounds like a lot of the people working on this have come from D&D, but did not play HQ when they were younger. They are going with what they know, and don’t fully appreciate what made HQ so great in the first place.I would love it if they moved on this, but I don’t think they’ve got the know how.

As much as I'd love to see the Ogres back in action, I'm fine without getting an extra quest pack so long as it keeps the Orc Bard out of the game.

Now that's how you deal with primitive screw-heads!

Sufficiently advanced technology... I can't distinguish it from magic.

Who's laughing now?

Only question I have is does swapping out his arm attachment count as an action?

It would be pretty interesting to see their take on female ogres.
