Re: Master Sets on eBay and the future of Heroscape
Yes! The price of entry is not high, and this community is, IMHO, welcoming and supportive of new plasticrack addicts.
edit: I'm sure nobody was offended. Fear not. You're one of us now, after all.
Spoiler Alert!

I would not buy a $40 RotV or SotM at this point. A $10 copy of either? I would snatch it up. If you wonder why, with all I already have, check out come of my maps . On the other hand, I'm not likely to see a $10 Master set even if one becomes available, because I'm just not actively looking. |

Re: Master Sets on eBay and the future of Heroscape
You know what this thread reminds me of, Cav? The old days.
Silver King has a completely understandable desire for another master set. I mean, it makes sense, right? That will give him the terrain he needs, and the units, to bring his 'Scaping to another level. (Even if that level is 1.) Sound familiar, Cav? Does that sound like something you and I might have experience with? You see, young fellers, back in the day, Heroscape did not grow on trees. No, it showed up occasionally at Target or WalMart or Toys R Us, but it wouldn't be there all the time.* So you would just have to check and see if they happened to have any in. You might not be checking eBay all the time for a $20 deal, but you would be stopping your car at every. single. Target. on your way home from work. Every day. On a road trip you might check out a K Mart, just in case, though you haven't heard of Scape at a K Mart before. Also, you should not neglect WalMart, even if that store annoys the heck out of you. I still remember spending 40 minutes combing through a WM, looking for my shopping cart, where I'd left the only 4th & Wolves they had left on the shelf. I still remember! And I'm still annoyed! So, yeah. Silver King, I get your frustration. * Except Nakitas. They were there all the time. |

Re: Master Sets on eBay and the future of Heroscape
I agree with D_S that it probably isn't the established scapers buying up the terrain.
With the discontinuation, I paired down my terrain while at the same time ramping up my commons so my terrain collection has shrunk over the years. I currently have just 2 of each master set and each expansion set where as I used to have 4 of each. ( I still have 4 road though) |

It's the affliction that's bad. There was Scape for us, there's Scape for you. It's just the addiction to the plasticrack that's got its hooks in you. |

Re: Master Sets on eBay and the future of Heroscape
I still stop into value village, sally Ann, goodwill and other second hand stores looking for scape. the habit never dies. that said a couple of master sets and normally you are good. I likely have the largest collection around toronto and I only have 2 of most sets and 3 of common squads.
that said customs are evil. I would have stopped spending money on my addiction I'd not for c3g c3v voc and a few amazing designers around here. Additionally the tiles take up lots of room and most have lasted 10 years now so there are very good reasons not to buy more. |

Something else that might not be on the top of people's minds is that there might be people buying master set to use the terrain for other games. If you go back to the old threads you might find mention that people would buy terrain for Battletech. There are probably other games that have come and gone that use hex terrain.

Re: Master Sets on eBay and the future of Heroscape
Heck, even if they don't know about Heroscape you can buy them this stuff for Christmas. Just be sure to pick them up an RotV.

Re: Master Sets on eBay and the future of Heroscape
It has been a good while since I have posted on this site. I came across this discussion. I just have to say I love to see that new people are still coming to the game and Vets of the game still have an unconditional love for it!
I have been around from the beginning I like some don't have the most massive amount of Terrain. 4 Rotv, 3 SOTM, 4BFTU, 2Marvel, 2 tundra, 2 Wasteland, 1 TJ, 4RFF, 4FOTA, and at least one of every expansion and Exclusive ever made. To this day I still love this game and share with anyone willing to listen. I love that people are keeping this game alive! Born of Two Signs / Also Might have Two Sides |
