Frontier Miniatures

[Guest]

I'm hoping some one has some experience with the latest owners of this
line of miniatures.

I really like the figures, and want to finish a number of units I used
Frontier miniatures for back in the '80s and '90s.

When they went away a few years ago (Haus sold them) I figured that I
was just stuck, and searched around for whatever left overs I could find
in an attempt to finish units. Not a lot of luck.

I did contact the new owners several times by e-mail, and even once by
telephone, but no luck.

Regardless, I was pleasantly surprised to see the new owner with a large
booth at Little Wars in Chicago this past spring, and bought as many
bags of figures as I could remember needing. I did notice that many of
the bags for sale were marked wrong for the figures contained, but by
looking at each I found many I wanted.

Since the convention I've attempted to contact the new owner again by
e-mail several times to place an additional order, but get no response.
I notice that the old Haus web site has been updated, but again, no
response to e-mail.

Has anyone ordered from them in the past few months? What has your
experience been? How did you contact them?

Dan

I'd love to hear who the new owner is, since I used to be the UK
agent.
