I ordered the mythic tier within the first three hours. As a Canadian I almost peed my pants at the shipping cost but shortly thereafter got an e-mail that it was reduced to$30 us. I kind of hope those of us who where quick to pledge get shipped to first.
Part of the reason for the limit release might be with copy rights for heroes quest In Other countries. I know the classic game had several distributors depending on the country.
Justin Christopher Ya’ know, I thought that might be the case too. I also think it might have to do with how worldwide distribution works for crowdfunded projects. I don’t know for sure, but I would imagine it’s a little like producing and selling individual copies of the game. Until it hits their distribution retail list, it’s probably produced on a smaller, “we’ll produce as many as we need” scale which means it’s probably shipped the same way and I imagine shipping like that is crazy... even if you’re a corporate big-wig. So, until it hits that retail mass-distribution list and/or the distribution rights are settled, it may be in stasis for the UK and the rest of the world. That’s just my theory, though. I really have no real idea how it ACTUALLY works so take it with a grain of salt. LoL
I heard on other sites the Canadian shipping issue was an error that has been corrected and is now at parity with US shipping costs. Canadian customers should recheck the site.
@@GoblinHQ Here is the email they sent out to anyone with a Canadian billing or shipping address. Shipping was reduced to $30 from $135. Hey there, Canadian fans!
We figured out a way to deliver HeroQuest to you for a lot cheaper. What's better than that, eh? So here's what we need from you... - Head to your Hasbro Pulse account and cancel your current HeroQuest order. - Then, simply reorder either the Mythic or Heroric Tier - whichever you prefer. We suggest the Mythic Tier though ;) And we promise, you won't miss out on anything by doing this. It's really that easy, friends!

30 is what I paid for mythic tier in the states for shipping.
