So something is definitely going on. My guess is that it's been canceled (can a non-random game even make it to the market these days? Especially now that WotC's hands are in it? Hope I'm wrong...)

I severely doubt it. They seemed to be near finished with it aesthetically at GenCon last year; I doubt they would toss that all out the window. Its a possibility, but... a one in a million chance.

It's rough not knowing what's going on. I really hope we're told as much as possible as soon as possible. Like I said in a thread or two a while back, it's BECAUSE Marvelscape was coming out soon that my daughter and I started playing Heroscape in the first place. I'd hate to think that some high muckity-muck decided that there were already enough Marvel games on the shelves and axed it.

I think the New York Toy Show (in Feb), will be our next burst of info on the game. It won't be long.

I'm working in a brand new wal-mart that opens this monday(22nd). We're going so far to open with zero holes that we're actually taking product from other wal-marts. However, we still don't have Marvelscape.

If we can't get it, no wal-mart is going to get it. Game is deffenitly delayed.

has anybody tried contacting Hasbro? After this question is answered, it will be followed by another.

Yes, read the threads.

Hasbro customer service and WotC both say they have no information on the product. Remember, you are only going to get in contact with a front line rep...not designers, not marketing, not legal. It's not in the system, so the CS reps know nothing about the product.

I have read just about every thread there is in the marvelscape discussion/news board and have either missed or totally forgotten about anybody trying to reach hasbro about the game. Thanks for the answer anyway...

Latest podcast has OFFICIALLY delayed this until "early summer."

My WalMart's tags are gone as well. The delayed release combined with Hasbro's history of ponderously re-supplying Walmarts with Heroscape product (wave 6 anyone?) ='s the shelf-space being used for something WalMart can actually stock. Can't say I blame them.
