Until version 2.0. You know it has to happen someday. They bring every other cult hit back eventually, this surely won't be an exception. We just have to get old enough for the nostalgia factor to creep into this game....
Unfortunately, I don't think it will happen. Heroscape came out during a very unique period of economic growth during the housing boom era of the first eight years of the this Century. This era is what I call the "plastic age." Tons of neat toys were being churned out of China's factories that were money loss leaders for their respective companies. Queen's Gambit, Heroscape, and a lot of other games came out with tons of plastic bits. After the housing crash and the increase in oil costs, paired with increasing labor costs in China, that whole era ended. This is distinctly why I will NEVER give up my Heroscape collection. The quality of the figures and components will never be matched. Just compare Heroscape figures with the D&D minis being included with the army sets. Yuck!
