Here we are at the third of a series of 6 parts for the Halo Mega Bloks Scarab. This is Mega Bloks third Halo Signature series set and it’s largest to date.
Due to it’s very large piece count (3,340), and it’s size, I’ve broken down the review into 6 parts so that you can easily see/read/download the review.
When this series of articles is complete, I will edit in the links at the end of each respective article for easy reference later on.

This article is the second of a series of 6 parts for the Halo Mega Bloks Scarab. This is Mega Bloks third Halo Signature series set and it’s largest to date.
Due to it’s very large piece count (3,340), and it’s size, I’ve broken down the review into 6 parts so that you can easily see/read/download the review. I took several hundred photos of this whole set. Having those all in one article would be just a bit much. Not all of those photos made it to the review, though roughly 150 of them did.
When this series of articles is complete, I will go back into them and edit in the links to each part for easy reference later on. For now, enjoy each part as I release them one a day for the next six days!

Oh, one quick note before I get started. In a roundabout way (too long to explain) and quite unexpected way, I got this as a gift from a family member (not my wife this time). A huge thank you to them. Continue reading →

This is a follow up to the Halo Mega Bloks Spartan 104 Fred figure I posted yesterday.

As promised, Mega released an image of the set that Fred comes with. It’s an upgraded Booster Frame set. It’s set to be at rattail in 2015. This version appears to be a bit larger than it’s predecessor and more accurate. Check out the pic form Mega below as well as a pic of the previous ‘build-a-set’ Booster Frame. Continue reading →

In a pic added to Mega Bloks’ instagram page, Fred has been confirmed as a 2015 release figure. The set he’ll come in has not yet been revealed, though Mega said that info would come tomorrow (11-14-14). Check out this glorious little action figure below!
