General Flagbearers (facts & speculation)

Maybe. It says the map builder will be available in august. hmmm....

Well i can safely say that i wasn't expecting the flag bearers to look so good (although i will need closer inspection) but i thought they were just going to carry the same looking flag but in different colours!
These look awesome!I especially like the Vydar and Ullar flags!

Sure, I'll take some terrain hexes too!

I'm betting that ninthdoc heard a $10 price and thought about Walmart's usual $10 price for expansions. He probably wasn't thinking about the normal TRU price. And he is on the freakin' floor at GenCon. He was really thinking when is this jack ass going to quit asking me questions and let me play.

The reason I like this is that to me it suggest's that the Generals themsleves are coming soon. I bet they go for 20 bucks a pop and take up three hexes.

Err, so you are saying they might have priced them high to deter people from buying multiples? That makes very little sense. Hasbro and TRU want to sell as many of these as possible, not scare sales away with an outrageos price.

To put things in perspective:
For the price of 1 Flag Bearer you could buy a set of 5-7 normal figures
For the price of 2 Flag Bearers you could buy a castle
For the price of 3 Flag Bearers you could buy an Orm's and RV and have 10 LARGE Heros

Keep in mind a flag bearer is one small figure with a flag. 2 of these or a castle? Hmm. 3 of them of 10 large figures? HMM. Unless these flag beaers come with something else I can't possibly see a 13 dollar price tag. I doubt any kids would by these and only the most hardcore of adult HS fans would.

Even if they're unique heroes?

[DingoDarkly]

Plus if they are being sold seperately then it's gonna cost me more in shipping!

[markwars]

Yes, even if they are unique.

I buy two of every unique to open AND I keep one of EVERYTHING mint in package and on display at my office at work.

I'm not saying Hasboro is trying to deter people from buying one of everything, just trying to give us all a reason to get duplicates of one or two armies.
