What you see below are some interesting names for the sets. Looks like we’re getting some NEW vehicles in Halo 5. Continue reading →

As you might have seen just a few days ago, I reviewed the Halo Mega Bloks Covenant Drone set. This set includes the first ever produced by Mega Bloks, Covenant Drone (Yanme’e) minifigure.
