This is a special set folks. It was to have come out in 2014. It was to be a Target exclusive.  For whatever reason, it had been pushed off the release list. Speculation is that due to Target’s going out of business in Canada, Mega Bloks had to stop any manufacturing/shipping of the set until they could find a new buyer for the exclusive.

This set is part of the now discontinued “Containment” series, which also featured the sets, Containment Armory and Containment Outpost Patrol.

I was really looking forward to this set back in 2014. The big reason why was for the JFO Spartan. At the time, it would have been the first JFO to have been released. Instead the Blue JFO from the Drone Outbreak set was released first. It should be noted that as of this writing on Mega Bloks Halo sets page that the Last Man Standing II set is still shown as being a 2014 set, even though it wasn’t officially released until 3rd quarter 2015. Never the less, I am EXTREMELY happy to have the set.

I never thought we would finally get this set in stores. As mentioned in the tech specs above, I got this through a trade. Since it’s only so far been found in Canada, it would be just a bit too expensive for me to travel there for one Mega Bloks set, LOL.
