I just got a reminder from my distributor that Manticore is a source for Halo : Flashpoint 28mm.
I have not ordered any yet but was considering it for the Nashcon show in August, the Florida Hurrico show and Augusta next January.
I wonder if there is enough interest to warrant the heavy investment needed.
The minimum order is significant.
Thanks for your guidance.

As a property, HALO has been on the down trend for over a decade. Every licensee thus far has failed and it's too early to tell on the latest incarnation. My .02 for what it's worth.

I've never seen anyone at the local stores play anything but GW stuff. Among the guys that I game with who collect historical and sci-fi, I have never heard them mention it.

It seems to be new in the US market. 28mm castings.

Spartan and wizkids have released Halo games and figures in the past, which is what I was referring to.

Yes I Remember those 79PA. I did not stock them then.
Never even watched Halo until two years ago during My five month stint of being bed ridden due to the loss of a leg.

I'm not a pop culture guy, but it seems to me to be a successful video game that no one has been able to transition into a successful board game or miniatures game, but you never know what the next hot thing is going to be.

Seen it in person. The minis didn't move me at all. HALO i like. Current game, not so much.
