HeroQuest! I Finally My Mythic Set!

[DarkCrisis]

Mine should arrive today. Can't wait to start painting

Congrats. I wish I didn't have to be home to sign for my copy, because I'm gonna be at work.

I think you can go online and just skip delivery attempts. Instead you just pick the package up at a local facility. That seems to be where this goes anyways if there are too many missed delivery attempts.

Yeah. But first you have to sign up for a FedEx account, which requires you to verify based on a postcard sent in the mail in 3-5 business days. Haha
So I guess I will be picking it up at a local facility in a week or so?

Yesterday, my Hero Quest was 49 miles from my house, and was estimated to be delivered today.
Today, my Hero Quest is 47 miles from my house, and is estimated to be delivered tomorrow.
Who knows when they will actually deliver it, but they expect me to be here to sign for it?

For a fee, im sure they will give you better idea then sometime this year

Yeah, that's the biggest complaint I have. Requiring a signature and then keep delaying the days, effectively locking you down in your house all day for days. We have the technology to track the truck via GPS, so why they keep doing these vague updates is beyond me. Other companies can do it.

FedEx just called and said be there tomorrow or no package, lol!

 

[Cistern]

I am in the same boat as Cistern. If I am not mistaken the funding started via Haslab about the same time as The One Ring 2ed Kickstarter. I had backed The One Ring to a point that I didn't feel comfortable backing Heroquest and almost immediately regretted it.

So, I have been following fairly closely. Hasbro has not stated either way on any retail versions. HOWEVER, the wisdom of the good posters at Boardgame Geek, think that it is sure to hit retail, (hopefully not just wishful thinking). While they have not stated either way, at Hasbro Pulse*Con back in October, Hasbro made a big deal about the App and all the new stuff in development that will be announced in 2022.

Therefore, with all the stuff they are saying is in the works, it seems to make sense that it would be for a wider audience that just the original backers. I will not be jealous (too much) even if they only release the basic tier. Just give me a chance to give you my money.

Damn, I hope the Boardgame Geek folks are right. If they don't, I'll have to scrape one off Ebay for likely twice the price.

 

[Retreater]

Yay. My wife was home and able to sign for it. So if D&D cancels tonight (likely) I'll get a chance to look through it.

 

[Retreater]

Hmm. Might've found an unwinnable scenario on a casual first flip through. The last one in The Witch Lord expansion starts the heroes in a blocked hallway with nowhere to go. Oh well, it will be a while till we get there, I guess.

 

[doctorbadwolf]

This is why I will always pick USPS, when given a choice. I get an email every day telling me what exactly is on its way to me, what will be in my box today vs what’s on its way to town and where exactly that stuff is in the chain.

FedEx considers end of day 8pm...

FedEx considers end of day 8pm...

I've had that message 5 days in a row now. This afternoon I actually watched the Fed X truck drive past the house but not stop. And every day by 6 pm, I get an update it's been delayed to the next day. so every day since last Friday I have just sat at home, not leaving in fear of missing the one time they would stop by.

Fed X better get their act together. There's no reason why we can't see a GPS tracker of the truck so we can plan for it. I'm wondering if they just lost it.

Mine got delivered about 30 min ago. I hope you get yours soon!

For future reference, I was looking at an original printing of the adventure, and there are supposed to be two doors leading out of the first room, so not a dead end in the original.
Hopefully there aren't many similar mistakes.

 

[GreyLord]

Supposedly mine is on it's way to me tomorrow. I'm glad I read this thread through, I didn't know I would have to sign for it. It looks like I'm going to stay home tomorrow...or at least try to stay home.

I was able to do it last night without a FedEx account. I was able to log into the site using the door slip # (they actually left one yesterday; there was none after they tried on Monday) and change it to be held at a Walgreen's near my home.

So if you're keeping score

Friday: Your package is on the truck delivered today
Friday Night: Your package was unable to be delivered due to operational issues, we will try again tomorrow.
Sat: Your package is on the truck delivered today
Sat Night: Your package was unable to be delivered due to operational issues, we will try again tomorrow.
Sun: Your package is on the truck delivered today
Sun Night: Your package was unable to be delivered due to operational issues, we will try again tomorrow.
Mon: Your package is on the truck delivered today

Tue: Your package is on the truck delivered today
Tue Night: Your package was unable to be delivered due to operational issues, we will try again tomorrow.
Wed: Your package is on the truck delivered today


If they don't deliver tonight, I'm gonna call (again) and manually pick up. This is ridiculous. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't require signature, keeping me here all day every day.

Wow, that sucks. I only got one or two days of operational issue delays
