Pre-Orders available from Hasbro went live this morning: US$125.99 or £99.99 but does not ship to Australia.

RRP $259.99 - Save $30. Almost vintage prices, but hopefully this'll save a few original sets from dying (I know mine is kept as cupboard treasure so it doesn't get ruined)!

This semi-cooperative board game has one player taking on the role of Zargon, the Game Master, while 4 mythical heroes—Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf, and Wizard—team up in their quest for adventure in a maze of monsters and eerie dark dungeons.

Players can immerse themselves in the fantasy with the stunning artwork, and 65+ detailed miniatures.

The game comes with 14 quests, and has limitless replayability because players can also build their own quests and create their own stories. Gather friends together for an exciting night of tabletop gameplay in an epic battle of good and evil.

    Can be also pre-ordered for less at Advent Games for $199.95 plus shipping ($10 to $15) - https://www.adventgames.com.au/p/9528483/heroquest-heroic-ti…

    However in saying that, I've not used Advent games but have had good experience with The Gamesmen.

    hmmm, I have the Mythic Tier preordered through EB, but its $300. Anyone know any better price? Can't remember if it was a limited amount at that tier or what… I just nostalgia clicked…

    • Stoibs on 16/11/2021 - 12:53

      Think we already got a pretty good deal on that to be honest, especially since they hit some stretch goals and and what-not along the way. I haven't seen many (or any..) ability to purchase Mythic at retail at all from what I've seen.

      Does yours still have tomorrow as the 'release' date out of curiosity? Been checking my order for the last month or so and it keeps bouncing around from early November, to December, until finally landing on the 17th of this month 🤔

      • Intoxicoligist on 16/11/2021 - 13:00

        I got a shipping notification that my mythic pack was arriving today from AusPost. I'm actually on-selling it as I need some extra cash for the christmas leadup. You wont get the mythic tier again as it was a Hasbro Pulse Exclusive (like a Kickstarter exclusive), they will probably just sell the individual bits for more.

        • Stoibs on 16/11/2021 - 13:03

          Oh a shipping notification? Were you able to purchase directly from Pulse?
          I just went through Zing/EB Games and don't have a single line of communication with anyone, relying on them to let me know.
          Was maybe going to pop up there tomorrow and see if it's in.

            @Stoibs: Ok so a few things. I went through EB games directly. I got a notification in late september that the rest of the payment was due. I had it attached to an expired credit card and had to call them to change it over. It showed in my EB account under pre-orders the whole time. Todays notifications were from Australia Post as well as EB saying it had been shipped and is due. I've got a partner at home waiting for the delivery.

            As its an online pre-order thing you need to call their head office on 13 39 30 for details. Thats what I did. Good luck!

            • Stoibs on 16/11/2021 - 13:22

              @Intoxicoligist: Oh that makes sense, I just did click and collect and didn't even consider delivery (don't think I've ever done a delivery order from EB before :P)
              Guessing they all came into Australia recently and are being distributed then :)

          • avarice on 16/11/2021 - 13:18

            @Stoibs: let me know how you go - same boat here - no communication and just the $50 deposit taken so far.

            • Stoibs on 17/11/2021 - 15:01

              @avarice: No luck today, guy told me that the trucks had indeed arrived but everything was still in containers and needed to be sorted.
              Guessing either tomorrow or Friday will be ready for pickup maybe.

            • Stoibs on 18/11/2021 - 10:19

              @avarice: Received a phone call just now letting me know it's available for pickup :D

          • Karmond on 16/11/2021 - 14:11

            @Stoibs: Your original EB Games preorder email should have a link to an online invoice that has an ETA, and once shipped, a link to an Australia Post tracking site.

            @Stoibs: They wouldn't direct ship to Australia for the Hasbro Pulse Exclusive, however I was able to order the Mythic Tier via ShopMate.

            I got notifications from Hasbro last week that it was delivered and then the ShopMate notifications to redirect. ShopMate currently says it will be delivered this week though I'm dubious so you would imagine that EB's orders wouldn't be far off being received/processed I would've thought.

        • cook99 on 16/11/2021 - 13:07

          Do you have a buyer yet? I'm keen, missed out on ordering 😭

          • Intoxicoligist on 16/11/2021 - 13:10

            @cook99: Yeah I've got a bunch of people messaging me on Facebook Marketplace. Will probably end up going for something like ~350-400 +shipping.

            • Karmond on 16/11/2021 - 14:16

              @Intoxicoligist: Just FYI, just the stretch goals box alone (not including the base game and 2 expansions) is going for US$380+ on Ebay US.

        • Lan Mandragoran on 18/11/2021 - 22:34

          I just paid $700 USD on eBay to buy someone's Mythic Tier and have it shipped from the US. I only found out about the game being rebooted a few days ago, so I hella missed the pre-sale.

          It is an insane amount of money, but the I'd gladly pay it for the hours of fun I'll get to spend with my family. I'm pumped.

              @Intoxicoligist: Heh, yeah, there's one for >$400 AUD at the moment. Ah well… Nevertheless, it'll still be worthy the time with my family.

      • avarice on 16/11/2021 - 13:03

        Yeah, just did a quick search and cant find that tier anywhere else. Yep, my order says 17/11 release, but that doesnt seem right. On the Hasbro Pulse website it says this:

        This pre-order item will be available to ship on approx 12/15/2021

        so translating for stupid american dates, mid december. I'd be surprised if we get it this year.

  • carlscott1982 on 16/11/2021 - 13:46

    So when it says "heroic tier" does that mean it includes some stretch goals that won't be available down the track? Or is this the exact same game we should be able to purchase for a ore reasonable price 6 months down the line? (I know the mythic tier has the two add-ons and a really cool dragon model addition)

    Phoned mum. "Is there an old boardgame in the cupboard called Heroquest?" ……yeah you also have one called battle masters and globetrotters and if you don't take them soon they are going to vinnies. It's been 30 years and she has not taken them to vinnies……..but I'll grab them next week. Thanks for the reminder OP

      Let her take them to Vinnies… tell me which one though.

    First I've heard of this.
    I loved this game as a kid.
    I just pinged my sister and to see if it was still at my Mums house back in the UK…
    Apparently all my old board games (Original Axis and Allies as well) got put out in the street for collection during Covid lockdown.
    Oh well…

    • Lan Mandragoran on 19/11/2021 - 19:35

      Nooooo!

      (Hopefully they brought side joy to a lockdown kid though.)

  • dione on 18/11/2021 - 10:45

    Can anyone let me know why this game so popular and so many people looking after this?
    Its because nostalgia thing or its has good mechanism / gameplay / component etc?
    Boardgame gameplay mechanism has been improved a lot over the years, is this one still relevant?
    the ratings in BGG doesnt seems so high.

    Sorry for many questions but when I googled, i only found Bardic video

    • Karmond on 18/11/2021 - 11:13

      It's mostly nostalgia. People who played it when they were kids now want to be able to play it with their children. Yes, some of the game mechanics are considered a bit old and outdated, but it's still a solid game.

    • Lan Mandragoran on 19/11/2021 - 19:39

      I loved the miniatures then, and the fantasy theme. It is be essentially D&D Lite. That wasn't something one could easily come by in the past. I specifically wanted the Mythic Tier for all of the additional campaigns for increased reliability.

  • lyychee on 19/11/2021 - 23:18

    I'm after a Mythic tier if anyone is willing to sell theirs.

  • FabMan on 20/11/2021 - 10:06

    This post ended up inspiring me to get a 3D printer, just ordered one.

    I loved this as a kid, I thought about getting the game plus the expansions and realised for that price I've got half a decent 3D printer. So I went that way and I will now print my own figurines, with blackjack, and hookers.
