I debate getting a second one multiple times a day. So torn on this.

I am soooo much right there with you on this one. I found myself pushing buttons with my credit card in my lap ready to add that 2nd game.
But at the same time, I tell myself that I can probably get it for cheaper down the road through retail (no shipping anyway), and I'll already have all the 'crowdfunder exclusives' from the single set that I'm getting. Still haven't pulled the trigger on getting a 2nd copy.

I almost wish they would do add-ons like a KS. I want more doors.


Well, it might be worth having an unopened, unpainted set of the exclusives for collecting purposes.

I was thinking it would be pretty cool to stick two boards together and have 6 - 8 heroes faceoff against an army of darkness.

The box art shows zombies with long handled cleavers (maybe a Glaive or Bill Hook? I don't know my polearms) but the actual figures will have swords and shields... BORING!

The weaponry of these figures... yes, the Skeletons have scythes (good!). But where are my cleavers? Is that too violent? Instead we get swords like the Orcs used in LOTR or those giant anime swords. Every axe is a great axe. Looking at the scale, the huge bases don't necessarily mean the figures will be that much larger than what we have. They may be taller, but there's some cheating going on (arms holding weapons held nearly straight up, Barbarian balancing on some rocks, etc). Many of the figures look more "dynamic" in their poses, and they have detailed spiky bits (cloth flapping in the breeze) which certainly shows off modern sculpting abilities, but the figures themselves could use some work. Many of them look cool, but outside of the Hero Quest context. Like I think the Abomination (Fish Man) looks great, but as a replacement for the Fimir? No.

I missed the picture of the female zombie several pages ago (not listed on any stretch goal). Not bad, but again, where's my cleaver? A Kukri knife or machete is cool, but still not quite there.

I like the Fishmen/Abominations. I think that figure is maybe the only one that’s actually compatible with the original figures. You’d have to put it on a proper HQ base of course, but I’d think it would blend in quite well. Seeing as Fish-blokes are canon now, I’d like to see a quest pack featuring them front and centre. I could see someone like JDean or Goblin King doing a nice adventure with them, hint hint ;)

Since the unlock goal for the 2 additional Goblins is so close I've been looking very closely at them, and it looks like they could be some kind of goblin shamans. The clothes/robes and the hooded head dress definitely look like something a shaman type character would wear. They remind me of the Orc shamans from Warcraft 3

I think having more enemy spell casters would be a great improvement to the game play and add more meaning to the mind points in the base game and expansions as well increase the difficulty. I know Mind points played a greater role in the UK expansion, so seeing this type of change would be a win for me

Day 1: $1,000,000 (actually hit 1 million 30min before 24 hours)
Day 2: $267,000 in Sales
Day 3: $151,000 in Sales
Day 4: $102,000 in Sales
Day 5: $65,000 in Sales
Day 6: $52,500 in Sales
Day 7: $39,698 in Sales
Day 8: $43,647 in Sales
Day 9: $38,097 in Sales
Day 10: $34,048 in Sales

Three Day Average of $38,597. Trending downward the last two days.

Should hit 1.8 in the next few hours. Took ~5 days to go from 1.6 to 1.8, averaging 41,000/day those 5 days. Will probably take 6/7 days to hit 2 million depending on if the downward trend continues.

Because the box art is a copy of the original one (a horrible copy for me ), without the Chaos Warrior.

I don’t even have time to finish what I already have started. Hopefully someone else has more time.
