Halo Toy Review: Mega Bloks Last Man Standing II
Mega Bloks Last Man Standing II
Technical Specifications:
Build Time: NONE
Set Piece Count: 85
Minifigs: Spartan JFO; “Infected” UNSC Spartans: HAZOP, Scout, EVA, Operator
Weapons: Shotgun, Green Energy Sword X4 (first generation style)
Accessories: Figure stand X4
Special Features: Infected Spartans Glow in the Dark!
Cost: $20 (I got mine through a trade) So far these have only been found in Canada.
This is a special set folks. It was to have come out in 2014. It was to be a Target exclusive. For whatever reason, it had been pushed off the release list. Speculation is that due to Target’s going out of business in Canada, Mega Bloks had to stop any manufacturing/shipping of the set until they could find a new buyer for the exclusive.
This set is part of the now discontinued “Containment” series, which also featured the sets, Containment Armory and Containment Outpost Patrol.
I was really looking forward to this set back in 2014. The big reason why was for the JFO Spartan. At the time, it would have been the first JFO to have been released. Instead the Blue JFO from the Drone Outbreak set was released first. It should be noted that as of this writing on Mega Bloks Halo sets page that the Last Man Standing II set is still shown as being a 2014 set, even though it wasn’t officially released until 3rd quarter 2015. Never the less, I am EXTREMELY happy to have the set.
I never thought we would finally get this set in stores. As mentioned in the tech specs above, I got this through a trade. Since it’s only so far been found in Canada, it would be just a bit too expensive for me to travel there for one Mega Bloks set, LOL.

Before I start with the pics, let me apologize for the not-so-good quality of the first half of the pics. I wasn’t feeling well when I took them. End up taking pics of them while I was in bed, under poor lighting. So again, apologies…

Halo Toy Reviews incoming!
Okay, after finally sorting out the issues I had with WordPress as well as catching up on Halo news from the time the site was down, I’m finally ready to start posting Halo toy reviews. Most of these I got for Christmas, so yeah, I’ve really been wanting to get these posted!!
Incoming articles are:
• Halo Mega Bloks (a few reviews)
• Jakks Master Chief
• BoomCo Halo dart guns
• Sandboxr 3D printed Spartans (3 reviews and a comparison)
I think there is one other thing, but I can’t recall it at the moment.
At any rate, look for the start of these later today!!
Something for the lady Halo fans, a Master Chief Clutch
Ladies (and maybe some gentlemen) check out this pretty cool Halo Master Chief Clutch!
This will cost you $33 (not including shipping from FUN.com. It may be available elsewhere, but this is where I saw it first.
If any of you get this, please shoot me some pics and send them to slashalofanforlife.com and I’ll feature them on the sight, so fellow fans can see this ‘In Real Life’ as opposed to just on an ad page on the net.
(If this were wallet size for a guy, I’d think about getting it. I’m not into purses though, LOL)
