What was for sale at Comicon, what might be at GenCon?

[lantern314]

I'm trying to do some planning ahead for GenCon. I know that in previous years there have been some Heroscape items for sale at the WOTC booth, but I've never paid much attention to them. How likely is it that they will have older waves for sale vs. just wave 7?

It would be sweet if the heroscape booth sold wave 3!
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!

If it is anything like years past it will be NEW stuff only and you can only buy ONE exp or ONE terrain. They also limit the amount that they sell each day.

Comic con sold wave seven and Marvel. Gen-con is supposed to be selling Wave seven, Marvel and SotM. That's all I know. I don't know if they sell the old stuff to or not. And I know that nothing new besides SotM is coming out so it should just be Wave 7, Marvel, and SotM.

Last year by day two, they were limiting it to one Heroscape item per purchaser and they still sold out in 10 minutes. I'm praying they bring some product this year.

I hope they don't limit it until day two this year. I'm trying to convince a guy a know who's going to buy me a bunch of stuff on day one. I'm hoping to get two SOTM sets, 4 packs of Knights and Ashigaru, and anything else new they are selling.

Last year when I was actually there in person I took a castle and one full set of wave five up to the counter and they told me I was limited to one. I thought they meant one of each item, so I showed them that I wasn't buying any duplicates. But then the lady said no, one Heroscape item total. Ugh. How lame. I ended up just buying one castle because it was the better savings over MSRP.

Comic-con sadly didn't sell wave 7 but they had some marvel heroscape.

That's nothing compared to the folks that wiped the place out last year on day one....so many purchases you wonder where they store it all!

What I listed was my maximum..where I want the levels of each of those things to be in my collection. I'll buy all that if they allow my buddy to do so. If they don't let him buy more than one of each, that's cool too, and if he has to choose just one item I'll ask him to get SOTM as that is probably going to be the best bargain.

Forgive my newbness, but what does SOTM stand for?

Swarm of the marro - the new master set.
