Frequency of reprints?

[DBC]

Being new to Heroscape I have no idea how often expansions are reprinted.
I have the opportunity to buy wave 1, but for a price being a bit over 20% than normal.
Should I just jump at the opportunity, or bide my time?

[francism]

I would buy it if it was that cheap. It's not available anywhere else and it's much more expensive on eBay. Plus, there are people who believe Wave 1 has already seen at least one re-release, who knows when it will be released again?

[southwest ninja]

buy it.

[Dredd Stev]

It is never, ever under any circumstance a bad idea to snatch up a hard-to-find wave.

And I'll tell you, wave one is a rare bird these days.

[Uprising]

Wave 1 sold out the first time, and again on it's reprint. I think WOTC would be silly not to give it another run. It has to be the best selling Wave. People are always looking for Wave 1.

I totally agree with Uprising... Wave 1 sells out fast, so I'd buy it. I actually think Wave 1 is the best set that has been released. Back then, when they were sold out I found a site that sold the complete set for $90. I ended up buying it because at the time it was the only set I was missing. Then when they had the re-release, I wasted no time in scooping up multiples of the common packs because I feared not being able to get them later.

Yeah, for 20% over MSRP ($16 per booster, ~ $64 for the entire wave) I would seriously consider it at this point if I were you. Our friendly WotC rep has mentioned that Wave 2 is the next early wave that's likely to be reprinted, so the wait for Wave 1 may be a LONG one. I wouldn't pay TOO much more than that (I think $70 would be my limit) but your mileage may vary.

Welcome to the site!

Edit: I just saw your location, so my numbers are pretty irrelevant to you, but you get my point.

OK, you guys have convinced me. I just bought 3 entire sets!!!
And to think I stopped with Warhammer because it was too expensive... Oh My!

[RichardD]

Yeah, but this way you don't have to paint *any* of those 70-80 figures you've just bought. And WH figures would have cost you even more.

I never have more than one unique. It keeps our drafts interesting while saving me money. If you're intent on keeping them, that's cool, but the Heroes of Bleakwoode sell for a pretty penny on Ebay. Also, can I have your Grut Orcs? Pretty please?
