Hasbro crowd funding - could Heroscape be reprinted?

[Astroking112]

From what I understood, the crowdfunding platform was more of an initiative for making more expensive collector's toys (like the massive Jabba's Barge that they're working on now) that likely wouldn't be able to sell in a normal retail store. I'm not sure that HeroScape fits that classification, as it is at its heart a game meant to be commonly accessible to children, albeit we hardcore fans have taken it up as a much more expensive hobby. I'm not sure that there are enough of us willing to fund additional HeroScape pieces; it would take massive community efforts to try and garner enough attention, which may be more difficult than we would think.

Whenever I had first read the headlines about the program, my mind immediately flew to HeroScape as well. I'm just not sure if the game actually fits with their vision for the crowdfunding items, and even then, sustaining a board game entirely through crowdfunding is a peculiar prospect. How long until interest dies out if we don't have new players finding the game in stores? I doubt that they can justify making new molds if there are only 5000 of us funding them each time.

As much as I loath to admit it, that ship has long since sailed. Both Marvel and Star Wars are way too big now to be easy to work with, and especially in Marvel's case, they'd want entirely redesigned units to match with their movies, even if they were willing to license their characters out. If only they had been released back in the day!
