I think the broad outline of your take--that the campaign has to henceforth reach the Kickstarter big-game crowd if it's going to fund--is broadly correct.

$250 does murder to the "get it for my kids" crowd, but is not a dealbreaker for that demographic. And here, actually, the scope of the product might work in its favor. Because even if you don't have any HS already, AoA is a respectable little Heroscape collection all on its own. It has the most important elements of terrain, and enough figures, that you could set up a lot of great games just with this. Which, I assume, is part of what factored into it.
