Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
I believe that comment about wanting to sell Heroscape, not just terrain, may have been something I said. And I mostly just mean it for this first release. They should obviously sell terrain in the future, but if they're gauging interest then they need to gauge interest for the whole game system. If people only wanted Heroscape for it's terrain, then Heroscape as a whole wouldn't succeed. That isn't to say that selling only terrain would be a bad business venture, just that selling only terrain to start off may skew the the estimates for how much of each product to make in the future.
I'm no business expert, but those are just my thoughts on why AH would want to sell the unit as a whole, as opposed to as its parts. |

From Hasbro's point of view, why not? As Stan Lee once said about Marvel comics, "I don't care if kids buy them to get the staples." |

After all those people mailed them a hex they probably figured no one cares about terrain.
A cloud can change its semblance, yet retain its will With the intimacy of destruction, One knows what it is to be alive The empty sky holds no reflection, for sorrow - Eslo Rudkey |

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
It's...customized. Yeah, that's it. Customized terrain!

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
Hasbro is so busy selling action figures, super heroes and super villains (and the vehicles and accessories for them), that HS terrain remains an afterthought. The board games they sell are mostly that -- games on a flat piece of cardboard.
Thanks to Steve Baker, Hasbro is sitting on a terrain-tile goldmine. Maybe they still understand its potential but forgot how to market it, like they did back in the day. Notice how the stackable terrain is shown first. At least that first teaser video we got showed figure silhouettes sitting on top of terrain stacks. -------------------- Kirk: "He won't break off now. He's followed me this far, he'll be back.

Reason: mention the stacked terrain in teaser video |
