Media Release -- Returning to the top of the sales charts, Hasbro's Risk Legacy, a persistent version of the venerable board game, was September's best-selling game product to direct market retailers.
NECA/WizKids had six titles in the top ten, led at #2 by the Marvel HeroClix: Fear Itself Month 4 Organized Play Kit, a special product for retailers to help them manage HeroClix tournaments in their stores.
USAopoly's My Little Pony Monopoly ranked #7. Cryptozoic Entertainment's The Walking Dead Board Game, based on AMC's hit television series, ranked #9. Finally, Konami Digital Entertainment's Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG: 2013 Collectible Tins Wave 1 ranked #10.
Data for Diamond's sales charts – which include the monthly market shares and all top product charts – are compiled by Diamond Comic Distributors from a universe of over 3,500 accounts, comprised of comic book specialty shops and other merchant stores and buyers. The shops are primarily located in North America, with a percentage of sales also to international stores and buyers located throughout the world. The account base includes not only brick-and-mortar comic book specialty shops, but also Internet stores, chain stores, and other specialty stores.
Unit and dollars sales are calculated based upon orders invoiced and shipped to Diamond accounts during any given month, which comprises initial pre-orders, advance reorders, and reorders, minus any copies that are received back from a title marked as returnable.
