Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
Getting a bunch of money up front means they don't have to take out loans and pay back interest on those loans in order to have all the molds made.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
I would guess at this point that Hasbro isn't taking out loans for this kind of thing, but just doing it as part of their operating budget. Similar principle though. The difference between starting a manufacturing run with cash-in-hand from purchasers vs waiting to collect cash from purchasers until you have the product in-hand.

I think a lot will depend on the price. Retailers do not stock items that are too high in price. Walmart and Target do not stock HeroQuest in their stores. That means they don’t have the buyers requesting large lots of a product in advance of manufacturing. They relied on crowd funding for that. “Heroscapers is too old for that crap.” ~IamBatman "Hahahah! You losers! I told you so!!" ~Clancampbell |

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
HasLabs are (except HeroQuest) one-and-done deals, so they don't have multi-year plans.
Edit: The big question I have is when did they decide on a retail release for HeroQuest, was it before the HasLab started (there was wording in the campaign that left open the possibility of future retail release) or was it due to the success of the HaslLab, even though it didn't meet all its stretch goals? I'm not sure HQ is a good comparison anyway, because a multi-year plan for it is just re-releasing old content. Very little new content has been developed - Two expansion characters, and the mythic tier stuff, which was clearly underdeveloped (Full of errors, not playtested, etc.) |

Haslab is about hedging bets and market research and I would argue marketing/advertising for the brand. In no way does Hasbro or AH need investment capital before moving ahead with a game or toy. This is not a start up after all. |

Now, we don’t know what the new retail price will be for HS2, so this is speculation, but if it is too high for the “mass”, they could use HasLab as a way to replace retail buyers up front purchasing with HasLab backers. This is similar to HeroQuest in that they are not re-inventing the game. They are just supplying new content. Regardless of how things turn out, I think it’s wise to hedge your expectations whatever your preference. “Heroscapers is too old for that crap.” ~IamBatman "Hahahah! You losers!

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
@every
one DESIGNER'S NOTES - DAY 018 - “The old unit was destroyed that day protecting her, but found the greater purpose it so desperately wanted. When the new unit came online, the smallest metal scrap of what remained of the old, all that could be found in the still smoking crater, was forged into its new construction. To honor its sacrifice, and his love for her.” (Happy Friday! See Everyone On Monday.)
Sorry, couldn't get the picture right now, but assuming they are continuing the (assumed) trend of releasing 2.0 of SotM, this must be Q10, and the description is talking about his love for Shiori, if I remember from the lore correctly. OG Heroscape collection completed on 6/21/2016! The new collection begins...again...hopefully...at some point...maybe...CMON Renegade! |
