I am super interested in this. I just agreed to sell another game for the price of this one, so this is mighty tempting.

Go to Heroscapers. Buy from sellers like Ztimster. He's selling Rise of the Valkyrie and Swarm of the Marro starter sets complete for only $40. Marvel starter sets for only $25.

Way better deal than these Planeswalkers games. Plus, ninjas, robots, cowboys, vikings, etc will go over with your son more than Magic the Gathering planeswalkers summoning unpainted monsters.
Search your feelings...you know this to be true...

You do not disappoint, good sir.

Seriously, there is no reason to choose this new set _over_ Heroscape proper unless you simply want the newest. If you plan on playing with kids, then you are committing a crime choosing Planeswalkers over RotV or SotM.
I'm not saying don't get Planeswalkers, but maybe after you have one of the others...

Don't let these dudes bully you into Heroscape. I am with you on the whole it's just too much to get into thing.

I love Heroscape but looking at that tub of plastic tiles can be daunting.

I'm taking my son to his first ever Pokemon meet at a local game store. He's a big HS fan, so we'll probably take a look at Planeswalkers.

But for young kids that long "setup time" is part of the magic, as is all of the variety of pieces and the fully painted aspect. Rise of the Valkyrie is all you really need to keep kids under 10 happy for hours, first playing let's-pretend, then playing let's-build-something, then eventually playing the game. Part of its family appeal is that it's a good toy as soon as your kids are out of the chewing phase.
Anything that gets the kids hands off of the local iPad is your friend.
How old are your kids?

My kids are 5 and almost 3. At this point the game would definitely be for adult players. Anyway when I'm not a graduate student and don't have negative shelf space, I can get into Heroscape then. And if I don't, I can live with that regret.
It looks like the games are actually compatible anyway.

I totally apologize. I'm not a fan when folks do this to my threads...yet I just did it. I'll correct the issue.
Folks seem to love Planeswalkers and if it's close to playing as well as Heroscape, I expect it to be a lot of fun.
