Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

Fed-Ex does not deliver to everywhere like USPS does.

It is not uncommon for FedEx to work with USPS.

If you live in an area with a spotty FedEx fleet then expect the Postal Service to be called in to take it the last leg of the trip.

FedEx and the USPS have long had a working arraignment.

If one keeps him as an Orc at all.

I actually bought two sets because I wanted one set to be "art accurate" (roughly matching the artwork) and another for "whatever I felt like." In the Bard's case, I was going to paint him up as some manner of cursed King Graham of Daventry... at least so far as his clothing goes.

Also a "Devon Aidendale" (Quest for Glory guy) Wizard, Elsa ice-Warlock, Korra the Barbarian, and "Conquests of Camelot King Arthur" Sir Ragnar. But I digress.

So make the Warlock look like Gollum?

More Gul'dan than Gollum, really; menacing, clever and sane, but very clearly paid a heavy price for the power they chose to try and wield.

Ah, from World of Warcraft, I see what you mean. As much as I gave up on the franchise after Warcraft III (the classic version wasn't bad but I'm not one for subscription based MMOs), I did see the movie, and say whatever else you want about it, I thought the explanation of how the Orcs got crazy and green was pretty cool I thought.

They are factory sealed in Hasbro toys boxes so no need to worry or check all contents really because if anything was missing it would be a factory error in China, so once you have yours safely in hand you anxiety level plummets and you can smile again. I always will prefer and love the original, but I am glad I own two of the reboot, it is a very curious addition to my collection, and my worst fears about the changes made to the game seems to be minimal. I am grateful for the new quest books to read (so far I have only read prophecy of Telor) but overall besides the quibbles I have had about the art style direction, figure design and my utter disdain for the new character figures there is really nothing to complain about (that I haven't already.)
Bottom line I'm pleased with the product.

If someone feels like donating their Orc Bards, perhaps we can start a fund to create the ultimate Flying Dutchman of the Singing Orcs of Barbary... surely the most ruthless but merry band of pirates ever to sail the Sea of Claws. Then all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer 'er by... except the guns and steel, we need those... okay, so maybe a generous store of rum, salt pork, and lively wenches to go along... we can find the gold ourselves to make it worth the while... maybe a few more things... you never can tell!

CONSUMER WARNING:
Watch out! those plastic trays holding the figures, furniture and what not are spring loaded. They have a ton of return to shape recoil. I tried to remove a rat and it popped out with such velocity that it launched across the room and I spent the next 27 minutes looking for it until I found it. DO NOT REMOVE ANYTHING FROM THE TRAY WITHOUT A HAND OVER IT. On the plus side figures and furniture snap right back in, on the negative side the figures are so flexible the scythes on a couple of skeletons and the weapons rack are warped from the tray and want to hold that pose.
The paper playing card sleeves are easily taken off with care and can be reused. I like the idea.
DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE CLEAR ROUND STICKERS SEALING THE BOXES you will tear your box art even with the most careful attempts. I know firsthand. Good thing I bought two. Cut them on the seam and leave them.

I just got 3 emails from 3 separate orders Saturday evening that “Your order has left the building!”

so you ordered 3 versions at 3 different times, and got an email for each order number? or it is 1 order number for 3 copies and got 3 emails for each package?

I placed 3 separate orders and got all 3 emails at the same time.

Yep! The same exact thing happened to me. The rat launched itself out of the tray and disappeared out of sight. Took a long time to find! Those rats are small.

Thanks for the update! Rulebook and Mythic tier quest books begging for a closer look if you need some ideas...
