Halo ActionClix Prereleases at Gen Con 2007!
Posted on August 30, 2007 by Flames
WizKids Inc. hosted the highly anticipated Halo ActionClix Pre-release tournament at Gen Con Indianapolis 2007. The tournament, which was held Saturday, August 18, sold out at the maximum of 256 players.
“Halo fans and Clix players alike were excited to be part of this event. People couldn’t wait to see first-hand the figures and game play,” said Mark Tuttle, WizKids brand manager. “We were disappointed that we actually had to turn away players at the door.”
In addition to the excitement surrounding the Halo ActionClix Prerelease tournament, Gen Con attendees also demoed the game, took pictures with Master Chief and saw the massive Halo ActionClix Scarab at the WizKids booth.
Halo ActionClix brings the incredible content of the Halo universe to the tabletop via the award-winning Clix game engine.

Halo ActionClix: Series One features more than 90 units, including the Scarab, an enormous vehicle found in Halo 3, and the
Warthog and Banshee vehicles.
