Mega Bloks revealed this today, via their Facebook page. It’s another Collector Pack. This one includes some neat purple Covenant, especially a translucent purple elite AND some very cool STEEL color Spartans, and ODST, and an awesome Translucent EOD Spartan.
No word on cost yet. Since this is 4 figures shy of the Spartan Tribute pack and that one was $50, I’m going to guess that this will be a $40 set. I’ll update this when I get confirmation from Mega on the price.
So, is this a buy for you? I for sure want to get this. Specifically for the translucent figs, then the steel spartans.

I do wish they would come out with something like this in the new articulation. Also hoping it comes in cheaper, which may happen as the Spartan Tribute pack is only $30 at TRU Canada.
Patience. I think Mega was testing the waters so-to-speak with the Spartans. It was a way for them to save on patin application, but also a way to deliver newer articulation and removable armor. Had it not been well received, we likely wouldn’t get the Covenant in similar fashion. Since the new figs have been received well, I think it’s just a matter of (short) time that we see this done with some of the Covenant, especially the Elites. You’re lucky to see the tribute pack for $30. That’s an excellent price.
