Sightings Threads?

Is there a reason sighting threads keep being locked and deleted with no explanation?

Looking for a way to get casual players involved in Heroscape? Do your opponents lack the interest or knowledge to build/draft their own armies? If so, check out Project 500!

Because there has been no sightings

I hate premature sightings threads. They shouldn't exist until someone actually has the goods in hand.

The problem is people hear an estimated date for an item to be released but then when that date comes along the items are no where to be found. Hasbro has this bad habit of setting a release date with HeroScape, then actually releaseing the product a few months later.

In a few days it will be mid-October and still not a single Flag Bearer sighting, despite the October release date. Seeing as I have been into HeroScape since the near beginning I have come to expect these rediculous delays, but most new comers have not.

Realistically we will probably not see the Flag Bearers till late October at best, probably mid-late Novemember. Wave 6 will not be released till sometime in December at the earliest, but more likely sometime in January or February.

We will allow the sightings threads to start immediately upon a confirmed sighting. NO SOONER!! That way when you log in one day and see it up there you will know that it is happening and won't be duped into pawing through page after page of non-sightings.

I believe that Erik's little allusion to posting HS pics in the next couple weeks means he knows that's when new stuff is coming out and that's when he can cover it. So.....I'm still betting on October for flag-bearers. We've still got 22 days left...over three weeks....plenty of time, plenty of time.

Doesn't mean I'm not checking the local TRU once a week as I drive past though.

I would be pleasantly suprised if the Flag Bearers actually saw an October release. I'm not holding my breath though. Hasbro has broken my heart one too many times with their past HeroScape offerings, giving a date of release then not actually releasing the product till months later. It's happened every single time we get a release date. We are told an item will ship one month, but it doesn't ship till a few months later.

Yesterday I emailed TRU asking about when Flagbearers might be available and this was the response.

Quote:
Thank you for your inquiry regarding Hasbro's Heroscape line of products. Mr. Kepler, Heroscape booster packs are currently available in our stores, but not on our website. The Flagbears may not be listed separately from other boosters in our inventory system from other booster packs, and so we cannot guarantee that they are currently available. Please contact your local store for more information. Thank you once again for your interest, Mr. Kepler. We look forward to serving you in the future!

Sincerely,

Toys "R" Us Guest Relations Team
Not much there, but thought I would post anyway.

Every single time?

Really?

I think HS has been pretty on top of releases.....stores picking up said releases is another matter, and not always Hasbro's fault.

The Castle was a true delay, I'll grant you that, but most other things were at least available in limited amounts online or in some lucky stores very close to their expected release date.

I just stopped in at my local Toys-R-us and they said they should be in by Wednesday. Woo hooooo. :banana:
