Yes a few months, next run is expected Q4 2014, you can check on FFs website It’s just to illustrate how companies deal with demand and creating a shortage, FF does it with other games, that go out of print for years to turn up again at some indeterminate in the future. It’s the way […]

Its a good game because of the theme, that makes it a good game. Theme is important.

Then don’t?

It has lovely models and really nice printed tiles, otherwise the game is essentially the same, it’s just as good but with better models.

Its not unusual for a board game to go out of print for many many years to wait for the demand to be back, fans of euro games will tell you that. Its not feasible for a game like Space Hulk to be in production constantly, or even in faster waves, its not big enough. […]

Hearing about something online is not the same as it actually happening.

The results you’re talking about show a reduction in profits yes, but that year ended before the new edition of 40K, which wasn’t a major relaunch so much as a new rulebook (which aren’t high profit items), the cost reductions had already been put in place and they had a big new website to pay […]

Almost all hobby and specialist board games are on a limited release, people are talking about Fantasy Flight taking it over as if they never have things go out of print and wait to make a new print run of it a while down the line. Try buying an X Wing expansion for the X […]

We’ll see, I don’t think it will sell well as the people interested backed on kickstarter, and seriously? AvP carrying weight? From what? The terrible movies or the last terrible video game?

Erm, not they aren’t, unless you have some sort of magical insight into their finances that no one else does, GW are in profit (IE, “in the black”) based on last quarter and expect to finish the year in profit.

Space Hulk isn’t a miniatures game, its a board game, a really good board game,

Nope, no one who hasn’t already paid for AvP will buy AvP, there is nothing to compete with.

I really hope there is. I couldn’t get a copy last time because it sold out before I could get one. Fuck em.

Unlikely that they ever spoke to Hasbro then, seeing as they seem to think it would take weeks for them to get any confirmation that they’re allowed to do this, if they had done the work, they’d have secured this before they started the campaign as they made it appear they had. Really anyone who […]

there is no game, there are some renders and concept art that they could get together in a few weeks, there is no product made yet, they took the idea from another company, taking the idea, mechanics and nostalgia factor of that game and tried to capitalize on that to make some money, they also […]

It’s perfectly clear, you’ve obviously not read anything about this. GZ were told what they’d have to do to be allowed to make this game, they didn’t bother and launched a Kickstarter campaign anyway, getting half a million Canadian dollars pledged by the community when they knew they’d not done what they’d need to do […]

Did you even read what MD said? They said they’d refused GZ permission, GZ asked and MD said no, you need to show us Hasbro are ok with this, GZ didn’t bother and went ahead anyway. Funding in Canadian Dollars through a US company, they’re in violation of a trademark, they knew they were doing […]

Honestly, there have been plenty of scams on Kickstarter and tabletop gaming hasn’t had one, yet, but really, this whole thing reeks of trying to grab money for something that never had a chance of being released. They didn’t secure to rights and obviously hadn’t done the legal legwork,so either they just assumed they’d get […]

they do have rights, they hold the trade mark for the name Hero Quest in the US

No you can’t, it has a list of distributors and none of them have it yet. You can’t order directly from Vallejo.
