Well that depends on the ratio of Cyber vs. BnM and the cost point they sell to each at. They might sell a butt load to Wally World but at a slimmer profit margin. Maybe they make some bigger coin selling to the Cyber sellers. Who knows.

Am I afraid about the game ending? Not really. I think I would be bummded (sp) about no new terrain...but the possibilities and combinations with the current units is more than a life time worth of gaming. I mean no disrespect when I say this but it's just a game. Gaming to me is about hanging out having some beers and having a GOOD time. So Scape folds. There is always a new game around the corner that I haven't yet played.
I doubt it would survive via web only. To get the higher margins with online sales I am sure Hasbro needs the Wal-Mart/TRU production volume.

And you are right, enough HS stuff has been released to play for years to come.

I don't know if I would say that the ratio of BnM to On-line sales would really tell us anything. On-line I've been able to buy all of the pieces I wanted (and at higher prices + shipping), and I have not been able to find any of the latest expansions at traditional stores. Had the local Targets, Wal-marts or even TRU had the wave 4 expansion, the Tundra, or the Raknar's vision I would have bought them there instead of on-line. Just my 2 cents. Can I have my change now?

Of course its just a game....that wasn't my point. What does that have to do with whether or not the line can survive by online alone?

It's the Lakeside Target at 44th and Sheridan. I get the feeling it was just a pricing error. But i'm gonna' run by there Sunday just to double check that theory.

pm me if you find more pricing errors and product left. I don't think I can let a master set go by for that price even though I didn't plan on getting more.

What that means is some folks are taking this too seriously. It's not life or death....it is a game, a game desigensd for kids that most of us have made our own.

To me gaming is not about a particualr game, it's about the experience you have while gaming with those around you. I'm not talking winning or losing. I'm talking about having fun.




GAME OVER Moon Pie!
