I actually started this yesterday with the Elite Zealot Weapons set. Continuing on today and through the month of March, I’ll have Halo Mega Construx Toy Reviews coming! In fact, to keep me “honest”, I’ve made a schedule for myself and am now sharing that with you too!

Below is the schedule for reviews. Unless there is some unforeseen event, this should be kept to exactly as is. Other than this week, all of March is the same as far as days that new reviews will be released. Loads of pics as always!

And who knows, I MIGHT even have a couple other things to review in between these. They may or may not be more Mega Construx. You’ll just have to drop on by each day and see for yourself!

Beyond these, I will also be posting Halo news on the regular. Thursdays is when the Halo Community Update is typically released by 343. So I’ll be reposting that here, with my commentary. Should they delay, then of course, I”ll post it up shortly after they do.

Lots to look forward to from HaloFanForLife.com!

I’m back!!!!

As this is my first returning Toy review since July of last year (2017), I’ve got a bit of catching up to do. Since this set is labeled as Mega Bloks and NOT Mega Construx, that is why the review and logo are as such. You may see a few more of these, while I catch up on all the toy reviews that I’ve been meaning to post since then. After which, any “Mega” sets will be Construx, and not Bloks.

The box front has a very large display window. This is great for those who want to know what comes in the set. As well, for those folks who plan on keeping the set in the box, it’s great to have a large window like this , so they can appreciate the contents, without having to open it up. Continue reading →
