It was in the board game aisle.  It was $39.95 if I recall.  But, they sold little expansion sets for the game.  From the looks of it, the game is probably not terribly unlike the D&D miniatures game.  You have these little hex tiles which you can use to build a battle map and it comes with a bunch of little figurines.  The game has a weird variety of figurines from futuristic figures with laser guns, to orcs, to elves, to demons, and even a guy riding a dinosaur.But, it also has expansion sets, so I picked up the "Blade Gruts" for $9.92 which has 7 perfectly scaled, painted figures not unlike the D&D miniatures. It also has some little hex bases which can interlock with each other, 4 of those.  So, while the "gruts' make great orcs (albeit a little blue for my taste), the rest of the figures are kind of iffy.  There is another expansion with "vipers and snipers" and while the vipers make great Yuan-ti, the snipers look like stormtroopers.Hasbro makes the game.  They have a website here: <a href="http://www.hasbro.com/heroscape/" target="_blank">http://www.hasbro.com/heroscape/</a>Here are the expansions (which are listed at $12.99 each on the website)...(each has a picture which can be expanded to see the detail of the figs)Roman Legionnaires (which they were out of, but I'll have to get these...)<a href="http://www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.15417/dn/heroscape/default.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.15417/dn/heroscape/default.cfm</a>Grut Orcs<a href="http://www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.15415/dn/heroscape/default.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.15415/dn/heroscape/default.cfm</a>Vipers and Snipers (snake guys and stormtroopers)<a href="http://www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.15416/dn/heroscape/default.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.15416/dn/heroscape/default.cfm</a>A demon guy, an angel, a dinosaur-mounted dude, a snake guy, and a warrior.  I may have to get this one as well...<a href="http://www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.15418/dn/heroscape/default.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.hasbro.com/pl/page.viewproduct/product_id.15418/dn/heroscape/default.cfm</a></blockquote>
