Halo Toy Preview: Mega Bloks Kodiak Siege Cannon

Posted on by

Just found this through a Halo Mega Bloks fan Facebook page!

We first caught a glimpse of this from Toy Fair this year. The name was thought to be the ‘Fox Cannon’. Now we have the actual name. Kodiak sounds MUCH better as it’s a massive bear in comparison to a puny little fox. LOL

Here’s the text about this from Amazon:

  • Batten down the hatches and roll out with Spartan Alice-130 in the UNSC Kodiak Siege Cannon
  • Rigged with ironclad defenses, this buildable, eight-wheeled artillery tank comes fully loaded with a massive, pivoting cannon
  • Build the Kodiak, and brace your Spartan for an attack from the approaching Covenant Brutes
  • Then, deploy the Kodiak’s lockdown system, and bombard behind enemy lines
  • The highly detailed, super-pose able Spartan Alice-130 and Covenant Brute micro action figures each come with their own detachable armor and authentic weapons and accessories

Halo Mega Bloks Strategy Game

Posted on by

Recently found via the inter webs, comes news of a Halo Mega Bloks Strategy Game. Hmm, interesting.

Here’s the info via EntertainmentEarth.com:

Bring the massively popular Halo franchise to life on your tabletop with the Mega Bloks Halo Strategy Game! Command a fire team of 3 Spartan commandoes with the goal of outmaneuvering, outshooting, and outsmarting your opponent in a fierce battle for control. Dominate strategically important zones or knock out your opponent’s Spartans to win! The Mega Bloks Halo Strategy Game comes with over 180 Mega Bloks pieces including exclusive mini figures, weapons, dice, rangefinder, and scoring blocks. See you on the tabletop, Spartan!

The price for this is listed as $32.99 and is available May, 2016.

This in likelihood will be something on the order of the LEGO board games (though of course with the Mega Bloks license instead…)

Once more information becomes available, I’ll post it here.

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.
