FIRST LIGHT discussion

[Kurgan]

Just to confirm that some Facebook users are reporting that first pre-orders of Spanish version of First Light are being delivered right now in Spain.

However, as far as I know they look to be small stores, Hasbro Pulse and Amazon pre-orders are still pending, which are expected for end-May or June.

Telegram user Marekkrupa posted this picture recently taken in a GAME shop in Sevilla city, Spain, so as confirmed, First Light / El Despertar is finally available for retail in Spain (44.99€ price):

Hooray for the Fans in Spain!

I was reminded Italy still has release in October... THEN the Rollout will be complete!

Testing 1... 2... 3

Are your dice cracked? Malwhip posted pics in the HeroQuestFans discord that his cracked dice got replaced by Hasbro (UK) Consumer Care. You should reach out to them...

I have read that some people were having issues with cracked dice from Prophecy of Telor and Spirit Queen's Torment. I haven't noticed any cracks on mine. But then again I haven't been looking too closely, so I'll have to check. Did anyone post pictures here, so I know what to look out for? I don't use discord.

Hold them up to the light, do you see cracks inside?

[wallydubbs]

A little bit yes on 2 of them, others not so much:

[Kurgan]

Contact Hasbro Consumer Care. They'll replace your defective (cracked) dice. Some bad resin at the factory.

Then post your success story here!

The new quest is now out, where can I download it?

Hey all!
I recently made an unboxing video of First Light, and then I did a comparison video with the 2021 edition. I'm also working on a review of First Light, so keep an eye on the channel:

The Spanish translation of First Light is terrible—absolutely awful, the worst I can remember reading. It must have been done with AI or some kind of digital translator, because there are literal translations that don’t even make sense in Spanish, and I’ve only read the first few pages. They backtracked on using AI for the cover, but I get the feeling they wanted to save money on the translation (either that, or it was done by an intern).
