EB Games (of Australia) has a listing for a Halo edition of Monopoly. It’s up for pre-order now and will sell for $68 Aussie dollars. This will release in Nov this year. It’s also listed as being exclusive to EB Games. (The image above is likely not the final box version.)

We in the states know that EB Games and Gamestop are one in the same now. I did a little looking around and couldn’t find a listing for this anywhere else but in Australia.

I do hope this comes to the rest of the world. I’d like to play this. I wonder what would be used for houses though, or if they will still be the same as the standard game??

Would you buy this if it came to a store near you?

Let me know, reply below.

This looks like an epic table top game. I’ve been a fan of minis games like this for years. I’m VERY happy that Spartan Games got the license for making this game and worked with 343 to bring us some great mini space ships.

Halo gear is coming soon to Musterbrand.

Here’s what we know will be coming out:  Continue reading →

Before I start this review, I need to thank Bandai for being generous in sending me this set. This is a pre-production set, meaning, it’s one of the ones made before mass production begins. You can tell by the sticker in the upper right corner of the front of the box. I’m told that means ‘sample’ in Japanese.

Further thanks are due as I was told I am the first ‘press’ person to receive this set and noone will get it for roughly a month’s time. So this is the exclusive review that you can not find on any other site. (Please see statement at end of article).

Let’s get started with the review! Continue reading →

Podtacular tweeted out the link to this vid. It’s pretty cool and I knew I just had to share it.

While I reported on this when we first heard about it a couple of months ago, there has been yet more information that has been revealed. I’m happy to share that with you.

This is still in the prototype phase of development, so it’s still very much a work in progress.

I thought there already was a Cortana Barbie doll out there. Guess not. Now, I do NOT collect Barbie, but I might make this one-time exception. I mean, come on, it’s CORTANA!

No word on when these might hit the market. The detail isn’t bad. May get better. Again, this is in prototype phase.

If I had to guess at price, I think Barbie runs around $10 or less? With this being a licensed product, maybe $12-15???

So what do you think? Would you get this?
