There is a strong rumor about Heroscape and a lot of evidence that leans toward it being true that Heroscape is going from Hasbro to WotC control.  Switching from Mega-chain distribution to LGS.  Anyone else heard anything about this?

This has been confirmed and WotC will be taking over Heroscape beginning April 1st (WotC known for April Fools jokes I expect something to really scare the Heroscape players.

Perhaps there could be a new board added to here.

I can confirm this.

Furthermore, there are already plans in the works for some sort of 8 pack.

It makes a difference which people will be working on it. They shifted it from the Board game & Toy guys (Hasbro) to the WotC game guys.

I was looking for some of this stuff at Wal-Mart the other day.....Guess this explains them not having any.

The longest aspect is usually building the terrain. Which is actually really fun sometimes, and tedious others. Personal preference, I guess...
