HeroQuest Lockdown Revisited
What’s in the box?
I had been searching eBay on and off for a decent copy of HeroQuest for a few months. This had begun after a colleague had come in on a Monday morning, telling me he had found his old copy in his parents loft. In that time I had seen full sets sell for in excess of £75 and wasn’t really prepared to spend that kind of money on a whim. However as lockdown was announced I started thinking about things I could do with my kids and decided to take another look for this classic game. I put a bid on a set that was listed as incomplete. From the images and description, it didn’t seem to be missing much so I decided to take a gamble.
To my surprise I won the auction for less than my maximum bid. When it arrived a few days later, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the set was in really good condition. The only models that were missing were an Ork, a Fimir and a Chaos Warrior… The Gargoyle was also missing it’s head!
The furniture was all there, although a couple of components were damaged or missing. This only amounted to one of the levers of the rack, a broken candlestick and missing base from the alter and some damage to the throne.
The set was also missing one of the movement dice and a few of the cardboard tokens. Most importantly, all of the cards were there and the board was in excellent condition.
