Yes. It's better than the current packout, but it might not be enough better.

Not at this time, but maybe sometime in the future.

2. Is WotC and Heroscape making an appearance at GenCon-Australia? (July 3-6, http://www.genconoz.com/ ) If so, this would be massive new for us Oz heroscape fans.

Thanks
I'd also be interested to hear Paul's response to this, but I can tell you for a fact that WotC Oz are already distributing HS down under and have been doing so since July '07. I have proof as they mailed me replacement figures for some faulty ones in my Marvel Set.

I asked about GenCon Oz as well, and WotC Oz replied that they would be there, but were uncertain about HS related activities.

There's a pile of history about Australian supply on this forum if you do a search RegMan...
"What he said." (actually, they've been doing the distribution all along, as Hasbro Australia and WotC Australia are the same people) I've known Dale and the team down there for years, and they're a great group. They'll know what they're doing way more than I would.

I know you probably can't talk specifically about which big chains are on board, but could you answer this on more general terms.
The big chains are all still carrying the master set - I don't see that changing. And, we're providing some master sets to the core for a limited time at a price that will encourage them to carry the sets.

I am really excited to see my stores replace their overstock of wave six with something I need. Thank you.
It's existing product - it takes a while to make stuff in China and ship it to the US. I know there's Wave 3 out there (either now or soon), and there's some other stuff coming over from China too. Then, more Wave 7's going to start hitting shelves in April

We'd certainly be open to proposals. I'm not going to make any promises here, though, as any proposal would have to be run through Legal.

We're still agreeing to that exact statement. Since it's fallen off the Hasbro website, here it is in full.

Question

What are "Custom" Heroscape figures and terrain?

Answer

HEROSCAPE has a large fan base that enjoys creating custom additions to the established universe.

Custom additions are figures and terrain that are not created or distributed by Hasbro. We do not support or suggest using custom figures on our official HEROSCAPE battlefields, and we never include them in official scenarios and battlefields. Custom additions may not be copied from genuine Hasbro HEROSCAPE product.

The HEROSCAPE name can only be used to refer to genuine Hasbro HEROSCAPE product, it must be clear that any custom additions are not created by, distributed, or endorsed by Hasbro, and the following credit line must appear: "HEROSCAPE and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro. © 2006 Hasbro. All Rights Reserved."

wotcbarclay said he didn't have any info on future expansions, but I'm hoping there will be many more to come.

I have a question for Mr. Barclay, is there someone from WOTC that reads the Marvel forums the way you read through the classic scape forums? We have a "desired figures" thread going on, but it would be all for naught if no one official reads through it periodically.

P.S. Please make the Scarlet Spider for the 2nd Marvel Expansion.
Not nearly as much (and I haven't looked at it yet) - I'd persuade Jexik to add the thread to his WotC Hub, as that means more people will see it.

(Thanks again, Paul, for working with us all here!)
We're still trying to build up the core stores. It'll probably take a little more time for them to get fully behind Heroscape, but we should have much better core store support by the time the Wave 7 reprint comes in.

Yes, we're taking control of the website within a couple of months - we have to get people freed up from a couple of other big projects before we add more work to their plates.

My question here is would WOTC think that a simple solution to the problem of finding a home for there newly found large figures?

Second Question: WOTC consider revamping or making any new glyphs?
I think that's an option. Maybe not at the top of the list, as it would reduce the total number of figs you could put in the set, but it's definitely on the list.

As for your second question, yes, definitely.

1: We're talking some ideas through with our distributors. I imagine we'll know a lot more sometime next week. I think that approach is the most likely solution, but it's not the only one on the table.

2: Good questions. Probably not many website/online purchasing changes. And, we can do just about any work before April 1st, so I think you'll see a pretty seamless transition (it's really the big stores that will see the biggest changes, but even those will be invisible unless you're actually looking at the computer).
