Hasbro crowd funding - could Heroscape be reprinted?

If they at least sold the license to heroscape I could see a resurgence as either some random rich heroscaper or some other company buys it up. The license to the copyright is a better path than convincing hasbro to reprint.

When I was a kid the main barrier to getting into scape was the cost. It didn't stop me and my brothers just because we were so into it. If we want to see a resurgence in heroscape it's going to have to appeal to a larger portion of the youngsters.

Trouble is we're competing with other similar games like Warhammer which is growing in popularity. I see two ways forward (and my information is limited so help me out if you think I'm wrorng). One is wait out warhammer to see if it's popularity falls off. The second is to bring scape back with a compatible version that's less expensive. EG, you would have simple plastic figurines like the MTG board game that came out which was exactly like scape AND premium figurines, both playable, both compatible. One cheaper, the other collectible like classic scape.

Of course, this all pressuposes someone getting ahold of the license or Hasbro adopting the strategy for themselves.

Thoughts?
