This might make sense, though.

Given the current inventory constipation causing the delay of RV and TT, consider the following:

If castles appear at local retail stores, one of two things will happen:

I) They will require their own shelf space. Now Heroscape is eating up even more shelf space (MS, small expansions, large expansions, lava sets at TRU, and now castles). OR...

II) They will "share" space with another HS product. Like Wave 1 shares space with Wave 2 (and 3 and 4). Like Laur and RttFF share space (gulp) with RV and TT.

Neither of these possibilities seem great. I can seriously see the decision being made to aviod the down side of these two options and go with the alternative:

III) Offer castles through on-line retailers only, and promote the heck out of it by plastering a castle image on the hasbro HS site's front page 6+ months in advance.

Sandra might be able to help clear things up as the weeks go by.

mmm, castles. Sandra, I'll probably be ordering 4+ I'm going to talk to other Seattlites about doing it all as one order. I'm still grating because I missed the release of Tundra and Raknar. I know I can order them from you right now, I'm working on getting people together so I can get the free shipping, things are getting a little too pricey.


Reverend- I know how you feel about the shelf space issue. I was at a Walmart this weekend with such a small toy area they barely had any board games and there isn't any kind of Heroscape there at all.

Interesting. On my E-Mail receipt from Amazon, they are showing a delivery date of 22 July-2 August. mmmmmmm.........

Put me down for 2.
After I've had them a few days, I'll make up some crazy excuse about not having enough castle walls to play the game like you're supposed too, and get the wife's permission to get 2 more sets.

When will HMG start accepting pre-orders?

[HouseMouseGames]

Look for pre-orders on Thora in early June and pre-orders on the Castle in early July. I don't want to have them both available at the same time because you'll want to take immediate delivery of Thora rather than wait for the Castle.

I really hope this doesn't mean that Wave Five is being delayed too....although given the fact that we've seen NO info on it I wonder.....I hate dry spells. Wave 4.5 was out in April, and now we've got to wait at least four months between that and the next confirmed release....crap and a half.

Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised with wave five in July.....

So I will let the rest of you "tear it up" and I will sneak in during the confusion of the cops hauling you away and grap all the Castle sets I can carry! :banana:

Oh and any of you that are in my room that plan on rioting....you will be required to pay for your share of the room bill up front.

I'd just like to add that I'm not budgeting bail money for this venture. I'm not bailing any of you guys out. It would cut into my game-buying funds and I figure that if we manage to cull a few out of the herd that's staying in our room, that'll be more space for the rest of us!

Sandra, I'll buy at least two right away. It all depends on available funds. I will certainly end up with at least four castle sets when it's all over, but I don't know how quickly I'll be able to afford them.

Then again, there is my business credit card... hmmm....

Ya more FREE space, more FREE Castle Sets, and less people seeing Doc cry like a little girl after my Ninjas have his monks for breakfast!

Umm, Hahn, I've had my fun, but now it's time to get serious. Have you considered that the Tagawa Samurai are unique and the Shaolin Monks are common?

I never said that I would only be using one squad of Shaolin Monks.
