Halo Toy Review: Mega Bloks Sierra Squad multipack

Breaking from the norm here for a minute. I need to thank one of my fellow local Halo fans. He got this and another multipack set for me. I didn’t ask him, so it was a surprise. He said the store was having a sale, saw that I hadn’t reviewed these on the site yet and knows of the plumbing issues at my home that are causing havoc on our finances, so he picked them up for me. That I know of there isn’t any sales going on at the major stores, so I take it that he is just being very nice. If there is a sale (and he didn’t say what store he got these from), well, be on the lookout. Anyway, a HUGE thanks Dave. I’m holding his last name confidential as that’s his personal business. Bro, I owe you, TWO! THANKS!!!

Okay, on with the review!

Regarding the password protected post from yesterday.

I know some of you are wondering what that is about. Here’s the explanation.

I’m building a portfolio post to show potential employers some of my work over the years. The information and graphics contained within that password protected post is copyrighted and is not for everyone to see.

I’m using this as a tool to gain employment. The overwhelming majority of the content in the password protected post is not Halo. The only bit that is, is to make mention of the blog and my association with Halo and it’s community.

If anyone has any further questions about that post, please feel free to ask. Though certain questions I may answer given the nature of that post.
