The Heroic Tier seems to be explicit about what we'll get, at least from the figures standpoint. They still haven't said how many tiles and cards are included. I'm actually wondering about the new-to-US Equipment cards. And they're even more cryptic when it comes to the expansions and what's included. I'm really hoping they list the components explicitly at some point. I don't like blind purchasing like this.

Thanks for sharing Leathaface! Glad someone is keeping track and this data interests me! Is this data scraped from the site or are you tracking manually?

Manually, I might be off +/- 30min but I check the #'s around 1:30pm every day to see where it's at and compare it to the previous day's numbers.

Worry not! They've uploaded the streams to their YT page.
The HQ segment starts around 1:58:00, and STEPHEN BAKER is at 2:18:30 :D :D :D

Enjoy! ;)

While I'm here I just wanted to give my :2cents: and concur with what a lot of folks might have already said:

For all the years we've pined away for more official Heroquest content, making and sharing our own here, Heroquest IS BACK, and Stephen Baker is on board!! :barbarian: Sure, the style is updated, but the quests, the mechanics, the :redheart: of what makes Heroquest so fun to gather round and play with your friends is ALIVE AND WELL and so long as the community supports it, it will continue to live on in a way we've only daydreamed about until now.

Hasbro knows they need our lifelong fanbase for this to be successful, and we've already seen constructive criticism result in real change with the much-lowered Canadian shipping. I know it's a big ask for folks outside the US and Canada to support and spread the word on something they can't purchase just yet, but with more support, and more constructive feedback from the community, maybe we can steer this in a way to impact the greatest good! :skull: :skull: :skull:

They're also inviting new ideas just like we do here by including modified rules, new heroes, and guest quest creators. Who knows? Maybe in the way LEGO Ideas creations go on to become official products, now more than ever, we're closer to the possibility that any one of us here could see their fan creations developed into official Heroquest expansions! :gargoyle: There's so much to get excited about here!

I'll close by saying that when Stephen Baker speaks about how he created Heroquest, I get warm fuzzies :D it reminds me of just why this game of heroic questing is so amazing outside of its own time, and why it's worthwhile to bring it back now. Before I get too misty-eyed to keep typing, I want to encourage everyone here to reach out to your inner 10-year old self and remember the first time you said, "Zargon, open that door!", the first time you put pencil to a blank quest map, or the first time you celebrated a victory (or defeat!) with your friends or family, another world unfolded before your eyes, and your imagination was forever enriched.

Keep the Quest Alive! :redheart: :redheart: :redheart:

It's certainly more fun to find things to get excited about than to look for more things to be disappointed about, especially in 2020 lol :lol:

Wanted to pass along something I heard through the grapevine about an eventual European release:

We have now received a response from Hasbro, which we will simply pass on at this point:

“The HeroQuest Game System product is not expected to be available in Europe until 2022. It is currently only available in the USA and Canada. "

So all is not lost, you just need to be patient.

We got them with the original sets. So two "reinforced" (wooden) doors, two "steel" doors. So it seems...

At least the US expansions were totally original non-GW monsters and setting, so they should prove unproblematic to remake |_P

Also frost giant from Reaper perhaps?

Yeah, it's not perfect... But the Frozen Horror IS a freaking weird model :lol:



Hell yeah, that's my Frozen Horror right there (in solid blue). Shrink him down a little bit though...
