About Sal

I’ve got tons of experience with Halo gaming and collecting. I feel I have something to offer to the greater Halo fan community. Posts along the way will be about tips and tricks in the games as well as collecting and many more Halo related things. I’ll also repost interesting articles from the official site, Halowaypoint.com, or from fellow Halo fan sites. As I continue this blog, I hope to help gamers who want advice on the games, as well as any collectors with regards to where to find collectibles as well as deals, coupons and so on.

Halo Toy Review: Mega Bloks Series Charlie Minifigures

MB grey logo

Series Charlie of the blind pack figures is now out and many a Halo Mega Bloks collector is racing to their local stores to find them. I happened to be fortunate to find most of these yesterday (as of this writing), so i figured I’d share reviews with you of the ones I found.

Below is the insert sheet that comes with each blind packed figure. As you can see there are 5 common, 2 rare, and 2 ultra rare. Not pictured are also two completely translucent figures. There is a green spartan and a smoke (I want to say EVA, though In could be wrong…) Continue reading →

HUNTtheTRUTH: The Twins

If you listened to the latest HtT episode, this conversation will not be news to you. Though a couple lines might spark a little something…tumblr_np2mz2FhOE1uokpa1o1_1280

The report wasn’t nearly as unsettling as the thought that there might be more. How many incidents—how many deaths—had been erased to protect the SPARTAN program?

Halo Community Update

This is a reblog from HaloWapoint:

It’s been a short while since we last spoke, and as some new goodness is on the horizon, I think it’s appropriate we talked a bit about it. To begin, the additions of Remnant (Relic) and Halo 3: ODST draw nearer, and the team is currently finalizing the exact availability date for these drops. Once locked, we’ll be providing the full details of what’s to come, including the exact timing of the releases, the ODST achievement list, and more. As always, we’ll also be providing the full details of what’s included in the next content update as soon as it’s available.

As I type this, the playlist team also continues to finalize changes for our next playlist update, which is currently scheduled to drop shortly after the content update. There are a few changes inbound, so let’s get to ‘em. Continue reading →

ISSUE 25
Greetings! Welcome back to another edition of Canon Fodder, number 25 to be exact, can you believe it? Last week we gave you a closer look at the luscious lore surrounding the upcoming Halo 2: Anniversary map, Remnant. This week we thought we’d keep the reveal train rolling and offer some small insights into what’s waiting for you inside the digital pages of Halo: Saint’s Testimony, by 343 Industries’ very own Franchise Development Director, Mr. Frank O’Connor. Also, in addition to another quick update on #HUNTtheTRUTH, we answer a quick query from the community that offers both clever confirmation and agonizing ambiguity. Plus, a couple of lovely little updates to the Universe section. Read on! Continue reading →
