Zavvi backers, our copies are in the UK right now.

Rule Bretonnia... Bretonnia rule the waves...!

Hasbro has done right by the UK, birthplace of Hero Quest, in that Zavvi has been properly supplied at the front of the line of supply. This is a 180 from the exclusion at the beginning of the Pulse campaign. Good to see this kind of responsiveness finally come about.

I made a couple of announcements regarding the Avalon Hill HeroQuest release:

I'm guessing ours will still turn up after the US copies, though, since we've got the extra step of Zavvi (and presumably a second delivery company) getting involved.
However, given the distances involved, this might be the first time England's insignificance works out for me.

This Yank wholeheartedly approves.

Good to see the new topic categories. I presume of course that the unboxing reviews aren't going to run afoul of the new rules (since we're not planning to show "copies" only review the new material).

On the note of international shipping, it looks like those of us in Canada might have to wait a little while before we get ours.

It sounds like they'll be shipping from a warehouse within Canada.

There aren't a lot of details there, it's possible that they're already here and will be shipped at the same time.

That "cannot be published" bit makes me think; are Hasbro trying for a worldwide release by synchronising final distribution or something?

That might explain why the UK copies are already here and being sent to/getting ready to be sent to Zavvi.

It would be valuable to get an unboxing/review perspective from some UK players comparing the new edition to the one they're most familiar with. I guess either way we'll get to see sometime soon, since the edition will be the same across territories (except perhaps the language... do we know if it will appear in others besides English?).

Nothing official, but I've seen a couple of shops claiming it's coming in French on Facebook, and another selling the expansions in English and the base game in Italian.
There were some others that didn't specify a language, too.

I'd expect French and Spanish at the very least, for maximum worldwide coverage.
