Zargon's dungeon has electricity? Maybe that is a tv above the fireplace and not a portrait.



No clue, but the Twitterati do, ad no clue if any of them have common sense not to believe everything they read on the internet and may just think that fire in their house is the time to roleplay and pretend water is a "potion of slow fire". They are being taught gender studies too much to have time to learn important life saving things and only think what they see on Twitter is true.

MY dungeon will have electricity though barring any problems, I plan to install LEDs into some furniture. Depends on how they are assembled. Loos like the fireplace with built in "fire" will not be possible without destroying the entire fire lgs and all though. Original didnt have "fire" as part of the plastic model part, so it would be easier to light up, but this one has a solid grey fire that wold have to be completely removed which would scar/ damage the texture of the logs and the fire box. :(

depending on the size of the mini, someone might could put a Smart Watch screen into the fireplace frame to have a TV in their dungeon, but that wold be something for people with more money to waste than I have to try.

these sort of modifications and upgrades require having the minis in hand to measure and see what is possible.

That would be nice, with a 3-d scanner built in to just 3D print the original sprues... but alas this is the best i got yet even for the unboxing...

dont remember the weapon being broke, maybe that is why i painted it? The Mummy I think was an extra so that is why it was painted. or I was just bored? ws there a named mummy in a quest in the original game?

That would be an interesting idea, printing the sprues (similar to "supports" I guess used by many STL files). But would they still be as fun to break apart? Or would this just to be to give the illusion of an "unused" set? I guess if the material is cheap, you could do it easily enough if you wanted, but someone would need to recreate it based on photos or scan it like you said.

Zargon puts a TV above his fireplace? Now I know he's evil.

Or maybe he's got a TV set, but inside the TV it's just fire... Terminator style.

either they are claiming Zargon is Mentor, and had Loretome, or they actually don't know the original quests from the game.

If HASBRO seriously doesn't know the quests to include, there is something seriously wrong wit with them, considering they have a copy of them all.

Hasbro has it all wrong... Zargon is an evil human, not a Troll.

When are these slated for delivery again? I know its supposed to be coming up soon, November I think, but I haven't seen any updates? Has there been any further communications from Hasboro regarding the production/shipping status?

No official announced date I don't think... so we presumed October or November.
