The return of Heroscape

This site has been around so long that nostalgia is increasingly becoming an almost palpable variable in our decision making discussions.

Unpainted... I doubt these minis will be high quality and I'm already swimming in proxy figures from other games. I wonder how much appeal a $150 set of mid-quality minis will hold with either hobbyists who are usually more interested in higher quality stuff to paint, or casual skirmish fans who have so many other options now. And mass market? Yeah, that pile of grey/beige plastic is going straight to bargain bins in less than a year. If they're as generous with terrain as the old sets then it *might* hold more staying power, but based on what I've seen with the previous resurrection attempt with the MtG skirmish game, I doubt we'll get much.

I'm thinking I may buy a couple of starter kits to ransack the terrain out of them, a fine Heroscape tradition.
