Title: What happerned to Urban Beat Miniatures?
Post by: Rob_bresnen on 14 January 2013, 08:24:53 PM: I was hoping to get my hands on a few of the Urban Beat Miniatures British police but after a bit of googling I have found that Urban Beat Miniatures is no longer trading, and that North Star have stopped selling them.

Apparently Wessex Games have bought the moulds, but I can't make any sense of their website, and they do not appear to be selling them. Does anyone know if these figures are available anywhere?

I did 'sweeten the deal' with quite a few castings, so they had a number of sets ready to sell. Keep bothering them and they might get things sorted out.
