"Boss! People are buying inexpensive terrain and getting non-random minis that exactly suit what they need at the time!"
"I can fix that."

I can't say I've surprised; this has been coming for a while.
TRU, Target, and most Walmarts dropped the line. It got moved to WotC (who produced a competing product). It got rebranded from its own "setting" (so to speak) to D&D. And it feels like its bee trickling away ever since.
I guess I'll pick up the last few sets I don't own.

Yeah... I guess it's a bit of D&D-centrism. Like you, I figured D&D minis were being introduced to Heroscape as an experiment aimed at reviving DDM. It never occurred to me that it was the other way around and DDM was supposed to revive Heroscape.

Boo.
It kind of seemed like WotC never quite knew what to do with it.
As others have said, I can't be too surprised given the weird shifts in marketing the line has taken over the last two or three years. You assume it's not selling, but you wonder at the chicken or egg question - did the move out of big box stores, move from Hasbro to WotC, re-branding to D&D - cause the lack of sales, or were they the effect of lack of sales?
And while the Marvel ship sailed long, long ago, further super hero expansion packs would have been so cool.
