No Gencon Exclusive in 2009

Here is a place to discuss this.

Re: No Gencon Exclusive in 2009

Doesn't Wizards have enough money for all their Magic stuff? This makes it seem like they don't care that much....

I hope I'm wrong, though...

Re: No Gencon Exclusive in 2009

To me, it isn't much of a big deal since I don't have any other exclusive figs, but still it kinda seems like they don't care. Grunge, can you tell us why exactly they aren't making one this year?

The front page says because of budget cuts.

Re: No Gencon Exclusive in 2009

I have never been to Gencon, but from what I have heard the exclusives are what draw many of the scapers. Without the money from selling exclusives, many of our number can't afford the trip...

I hope WotC wakes up and realizes that Heroscape needs some attention. I don't understand how a game as good as Heroscape has not been on the priority list of either of its owning companies.

Re: No Gencon Exclusive in 2009

As I don't have any of the gencon exclusives, and am not going to gencon this year anyway, I don't mind.
On the other hand, this could be taken as a sign that heroscape is not all that important to WOTC.
I really do hope its due to budget concerns and not because its deemed not important to WOTC. I'm sure the gloom and doomers will use this as a sign of the end of 'scape. I'm not in that camp mind you.

73 tournaments. 175 - 145 - 1 overall record. 6 tournament wins.

Re: No Gencon Exclusive in 2009

We're getting two waves this year so far (Wave 1 reprint and Wave 9) and people are going to start whining about Wizards not caring because they're not going to produce a FREE promo that a majority of scapers won't get, and the minority who DO get it take advantage of what they received freely and sell it for $50+?

Wow. Talk about entitlement. WOTC certainly doesn't OWE us a promo figure each year. Especially since a fig, even repainted, is more expensive than promo cards.

It's just icing on the cake. It was nice while they did it, and I for one am grateful they canceled the free promo instead of Wave 9, or the Wave 1 reprint.

The decision to tell us all so far in advance, plus the fact they are reprinting waves and having the foresight to realize that giving a way a free figure would jeopardize the budget and thus the future of the product... I would say this shows Wizards cares a great deal.

I have two humble suggestions for WOTC:

1) If there was playtesting done for an exclusive figure, why not release a card with a pic of a repainted sculpt on it, free to download, during Gencon? This could boost sales of old stock, give fans a new figure, and be of minimal cost. However, if there is still the matter of design and playtesting for this figure, it may not be worth the expense in labor to do this.

2) Produce the figure, but instead of giving it away free, sell it direct on eBay for $50 a figure. After you sell 100 that way, start putting 5 or so at a time up for auction and let the market determine the price. This way it can be a net gain and not a net loss.

The latter idea is not so serious... or is it?

I do agree with you on some of this. I am glad that of all things to get cancelled, it was the promo, and not wave 9 or 1.
However, no one is whinning, not yet anyhow. I'd say its more of a dissapointment.
As far as the people selling their promos goes, I say don't blame them, blame the buyers. If we stop paying the ridiculous amounts on e-bay, then the sellers will be forced to lower their price. I hate the fact that someone with lots of disposable cash, or no common sense, or parents with disposable cash/no common sense, go on ebay and drive the price of these things up. However, its not the sellers fault.
I've never sold anything on ebay, and have only bought a few things, I prefer to trade. So if we stop paying the high amounts, then the price comes down, or you'll find folks more willing to trade.

Isn't that the rational for dealing drugs?
