[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6230514, member: 2525"] I agree, but irrelevant to my point. It sold well, as did the PF boxed set. Hence, there is already a strong market for such boxed sets. Right, because PF is a game built on an existing system with an existing player base, and is not marketed much beyond that player base. Despite that, it STILL sold well. Most NEW players are not "on the internet now" in the sense that they are not going to go looking for a new game on the internet. Also, it requires dice. Someone will likely need to buy them a gift of the game for them to try it out - which is the greatest strength of a beginners boxed set. As for them having gone by the wayside - again, both the PF and 4e boxed sets sold well. Isn't that a good indicator they're still a product in demand?Obviously there is existing demand for such products, and the demand will be much greater if they market it wider. Board Games right now are HUGE, and Hasbro does them well. A boxed set falls close by board game marketing and has cross-interest with board gamers. [/QUOTE]
