Wal-Mart petition
Have you guys ever thought about the prices for heroscape nowadays? I didn't at first, but then I noticed that I almost payed $25.00 ,plus shipping, for some little plastic men.I can remember when Wal-mart sold them, and I know the sets were NOT that expensive. So, If you go to walmart.com and scroll all the way down to the right corner, you will find a small contact us button. (small enough not to be found!) pick the e-mail button and e-mail them. Please Try to be nice at first. I figure they might look into it if they got hundreds of e-mails sent to them about the same thing.
Let's get heroscape in WAL-MART! Do you like Ullar? Do you like him now? Good. ------------------------------------------------------ |

WotC isn't even making mini's anymore. So while the support is nice, it's far too little too late. Now through May 28th, the Louisville region is in desperate need of platelets - call the Red Cross if you are interested in donating! |

Re: Wal-Mart petition
Yeah, its over now. We failed with the first Wal-Mart petition which was signed with dollars at the cash register. Names on a list or emails or whatever isnt going to change any minds when the numbers are all in the red.

Re: Wal-Mart petition
Walmart can't carry something that isn't being made. And Walmart is not in the business of manufacturing miniature games.
Even if you convinced Walmart to carry it, there's nothing to carry now that WOTC has decided that miniatures are too expensive for them to maintain. Your best bet to get anything else produced, is to find some niche toy producer to license the rights to some of the old waves from Hasbro. Someone who sees an opportunity based on ebay prices, thinking they could sell packs from old waves at $20-$25 each, or Tundra at $40-$50, etc. (something above original MSRP, but also a deal compared to ebay), which would make a smaller print run of said waves (plus any licensing costs to Hasbro) profitable to them. |

Re: Wal-Mart petition
The thing that upset me the most about walmart carrying scape is that they were never consistent regarding placement of the waves on shelves. Some had it next to the board games and master sets, some had them in the action figures, some next to the card games, ect. Made hunting very frustrating. As far as another company making it, id gladly pay $49.99 for more jungle, tundra and lava.

Re: Wal-Mart petition
WotC isn't making heroscape anymore? Are you sure? Anyways, I usually buy stuff from amazon.com who's prices are ok. But guess what, only making 7.00 a week isn't a good outlook. I was just getting annoyed with waiting at least two weeks for 5 little plastic dudes. I started the petition to save some money for me and everyone else. BUT, now that I know heroscape is dead, I know my time was wasted.
Do you like Ullar? Do you like him now? Good. ------------------------------------------------------ |

Re: Wal-Mart petition
Given what ebay prices have become, one would think that there would be some kind of opportunity to capitalize on a limited reprint.
Churn out 1000 cases of waves 2,3,4,6,7 and 9, charge $75-100 a case, I'm pretty sure the market would eat those up. If you're just going to sell these in bulk you don't even need shelf-ready packaging. Toss them in a plain cardboard box with the cards in an envelope and the figures in packing peanuts. Obviously, you could do the same with other currently ungettable expansions. Lower your production costs and increase your prices. Charge $50 for Aquilla's Alliance. I saw someone pay $150 for it used. Oh well, it's a nice dream. |
