Now here’s a set I know you folks have been wanting and waiting to see. It’s the UNSC Firebase. Once upon a time, a long long time ago…we got a glimpse of Mega Bloks proposed Firebase. Fans had mixed reactions to it. At the time, many fans balked the price of $199. Since then, we’ve shelled that much out and more for example the Covenant Scarab.
Mega Bloks listened to all of the concern regarding the original Firebase. So they nixed it. (to my disappointment)
Here’s the original listing for the Firebase from 2011:
IIRC, the hill background was just for show and not part of the planned set. Though I could be wrong on that, so don’t quote me.
Here’s a better graphic of the OLD proposed set:
Over the years Mega ‘parted’ the set out by releasing parts of the big set into smaller set. We of course got the Cyclops (many times over), the Troop Warthog, and the Vampire. We just needed the base. Well….read on and you’ll see what Mega is finally coming out with!
