Or you could acquire them via large collections being sold off on (gasp!) eBay, too. Frequently they'll be much cheaper as part of a larger set or collection. In those cases, it's like an extra bonus. Here's a couple going on right now over there, for those who are interested:

Just some suggestions. People also sometimes overlook their friends who play, who may not need 4x or 5x squads of Gladiatrons, either.

Good luck regardless of the source, finding those figures. Maybe WotC will figure out who important back-stock is to this game and start getting more pro-active with re-releases so that new players aren't turned off by the cost of getting a full set of the game.
 
Strike two.

I'm still looking to purchase Wave 9 stuff: 2-3 packs each of Dwarves/Repulsors and Braves/Brawlers.

Hey, had an exceptionally good trade with Sonlen4MVP. The guy literally FedEx'ed his stuff to me. Card was sanwiched in a cardboard holder, but even that was in a plastic sleeve. Figs were individually wrapped.

The guy is serious about his stuff!

So, if you are trading with Sonlen4MVP, please make sure to package your stuff well as he will indeed do the same.

Great trade, and thanks, man!

If anyone bids on option number 2, I will take away your heroscape license.

Anyways, I had a great trade with Huggable Zombie,
a great communicator and outstanding trader.
 
I would very much like an official Agent Skahen, if anyone has a spare to part with.

Never traded here before, so I don't know exactly what people are after - if anyone who has one wanted to PM me with a "looking for" list or something similar, I'd see what I could help out with. I'd prefer to trade non-HS stuff for the fig if possible, but I'm open to pretty much anything.


anything.
 
Hey All, I got 2 Nintendo DS games I'd like to trade off for some figs...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team
Happy Feet


To be honest, I'd let both games go right now for 40 1-Hex Tiles(I'd perfer green or swamp, but any color will do)

Hope we can work something out. Thanks!

I would really like to get my hands on some Tundra and Volcarren terrain. I don't mind paying for it (I don't have anything to trade, just getting into Heroscape), but the prices on ebay are just outrageous. Are they really worth almost $100 for the lava/snow packs?
Click to expand...

Well, they do really add a lot to the map, although I don't have any "official" lava terrain...I customized some of the regular terrain into lava terrain and it turned out really cool! Get some red spray paint and paint some grass red, then lightly brush some gray over the top. After that I took the black coal colored sand that is used for model train sets and glued it over top of the gray paint. It turned out really sweet! On the molten lava, I painted water tiles red, then brushed on some orange and yellow blotches, then coated it with a glossy topcoat. Maybe I'll post some pics one day...

Behold, my custom made lava...made by a custom building neophyte (complete with Granite stand-ins). This was a lot easier to do than I thought it would be and I was really happy with how it turned out! 8)

For the red paint I used the high end spray paint sold at Walmart that claims it is specifically for plastic. It's called Krylon Fusion or something like that. It was about $4.50 per bottle as opposed to the cheap stuff, which was about $1.50 per bottle. So far the paint seems to be really resistant to chipping.

After I painted the yellow and orange splotches on the molten lava, I coated it with a gloss clear coat. This also seems to resist scratching and chipping pretty well. Make sure that you let it cure for a long time. I had let the molten lava cure for about a week, then threw them into a sandwich bag and two of them stuck together a little and I had to go back and do a little touch up after I pulled them apart.

Another thing I learned is that I got the paint on the sides too thick, so the fit is pretty tight, especially on the molten lava pieces. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see a little blue showing through on one of the side surfaces of the molten lava where a little red chipped off in the groove. I'm working on a second batch now, so when I painted the base coat, I was careful to put most of the paint on top, and just a light coating on the sides.

The black coal/sand stuff I got on clearance at a craft store, Michael's, I think it was. It was $1 for a sandwich bag sized bag. Apply white glue to the surface of the tiles and drop the black sand on. After the glue dries, prepare a mixture of water and white glue, about 50/50, and pour it over the sand. This helps lock any loose pieces of sand into place. Afterwards I coated with gloss acrylic sealer, thinking it would look like shiny like obsidian. Instead it just looked unnatural, so I hit it with a matte finish clear coat which was perfect.

Like I said, it was really not too difficult. I'm not that great at painting the fine detail stuff (pretty good at painting walls :roll:) and I was afraid that the little flame splotches on the molten lava would look stupid, but they actually turned out pretty nice. Hopefully this will inspire more people!

Closer up and closer in. Notice the train coal:

The piece on the left has been painted red and dry brushed with the gray, but the black sand hasn't been added yet:

Thanks for posting these Porkins! They do look good and should help people with volcarren syndrome ease their pain. :D
 
Great work, Porkins!

I've been considering something similar, how does the paint stand up to the wear and tear, clipping and unclipping? Do they chip or scratch easily?

Thanks for sharing. :)

I can't remember the name of the glue I used, it was some craft glue sort of similar to rubber cement, not just white glue. The glue I used is more intended for crafts and scrapbook stuff (it was my wife's glue, so if you really want to know what it's called, I can find out). I applied it to the surface with a little sponge and then jammed the piece into the black sand. Afterwards I coated with the gloss, thinking it would look like shiny like obsidian. Instead it just looked unnatural, so I hit it with a matte finish clear coat which was perfect.

Like I said, it was really not too difficult.

I don't know if this is considered a trade or not but SirGalahad picked up 2 of each of the Wave 9 common packs for me at his local Walmart and shipped them to me, seeing I couldn't get them locally. Thanks to him my Wave 9 is complete! What a great guy. Thanks again SirGalahad!!!
