My wife surprised me with a nice bit of Halo Mega Bloks on Friday. At first it was the new Ghost and Gungoose set. But then, she further surprised me with the Phaeton and…. the UNSC Vulture!!!

I spent the whole weekend building. This explains some of why I haven’t posted join the blog for a little bit.

Unfortunately, the Vulture set had a few missing pieces and two malformed pieces rather critical to the build. I’ve already called Mega for replacement parts.

In the meantime, I’ll be editing the photos I took of the first three and will be posting those reviews within a day or two.

I’ll have the Vulture’s review up once I get the replacement parts in form Mega. Though, I’ll give you a tease of it, in the Phaeton review, just so you know I do indeed have the set…

So please STAY TUNED!
