Here they are folks, many of the 2015 Mega Bloks sets. I’ve referred to some of them on the blog before. Now I have pics of the sets within their packaging.
Make special not of the Covenant Drone set…
Series Bravo should release soon. I’ve previewed these on the blog HERE.
The Spartan Customizer set is pretty cool. Comes in my favorite and second favorite colors! Now of course, I’m going to need to get THREE sets of each so I can have one of each kind of Spartan.
Next is the NMPD Customizer set. Look at the painted shotgun and grenade launcher!
The Sierra Squad is the first time we’ve had a Marine only set. I’m not so big on the two masked Marines as they didn’t come in those colors in the game. That’s not a deterrent for me to get the set though. I look forward to getting a couple of this set to build up my army.
In what will be the 8th Cyclops released, we now will have a Heavy Assault Cyclops. This differs from all the rest in that it doesn’t have the normal hand attachments, rather swapping those out for a missile launcher and what appears to be a heavy machine gun.
The Booster Frame set which I’ve sown on the blog HERE, is hotly anticipated. Not only is this version a marked improvement over the original build-a-booster frame set, but it also comes with Blue team’s own Fred S-104!!!
Fireteam Eagle looks like a good set. That Forerunner Bridge!!!
And finally we have the Drone set. Well, the blue spartan wasn’t Kat as I had suspected. Still, it’s a JFO Spartan. (That’s the armor I used the most in Halo Reach, so I’m VERY happy about that.)
Make note though…in the pic is a small pic of the GOLDEN WARTHOG! So yes, it looks like my dream may become a reality of having the Golden Warthog made into a set. It would be TOO MUCH of a tease to show this on the box art and not actually have it come out as a set in the future.
Thanks to Blog subscriber, Aaron for giving me a link to the pics.

I love the design of the marine in the heavy assault cyclops. I’m sad that the JFO spartan wasn’t Kat, but I’m glad they chose a good looking armor. I don’t even know what to say about eagle squad! I’m so excited to get Jorge, as he was my favorite in Halo Reach.
Definitely going to get the UNSC Sierra Squad. I have too many Spartans compared to my Marine forces…hopefully a couple of the UNSC Sierra Squad sets will even it out a little. As for the color of the masked Marines, yeah it bothers me a bit but seeing as Mega Bloks has done a lot of their own things (Ex: Cyclops variants, NMPD Hornet, etc.) it doesn’t bother me that much as well. The new Booster Frame is a must buy but the Covenant Drone is somewhat of a letdown. First of all, you don’t get a new Kat which is disappointing. Then you only get two Drones for a set called “Covenant Drone Outbreak”. An outbreak of two Drones? For a set that will cost around $30, there really should be more Drones.
If it’s only $30, that’s not too bad. After all you get 4 figures, a semi truck and a small building structure. But yeah, I want LOTS of drones myself. I personally LOVE the JFO armor as that’s what I used most in Reach, but a new Kat with the new armor system in this one case would have been preferred. BTW, I’m 100% positive we will see more drones in other sets. Read into that what you may…
Well I don’t know if it’s going to be $30 but looking at the number of pieces the set has it’s going to be $30-$40. Anymore than that would be overpriced.
Are you hinting at something?
Am I?
