Mega Bloks Covenant Drop Pods spotted!

Posted on by

Check out these two new cool drop pods from Mega Bloks!

Note the extremely cool and new Fuel Rod Gun with detachable fuel cells. Also, the battle damage paint on the Zealot elite pod is fantastic. I personally can’t wait to get these for my collection. Price will vary by store, however should range between $10-13.

Thanks to “Mr. Sci-Fi” on HaloCollectors.com for pointing this out.

 

 

New McFarlane Reach Toys. Series 6!

Posted on by

The soon to be released series 6 looks fantastic!

I’ve bought all of the unhelmeted Noble members so far. So, it’s a no brainer for me to buy Jun and Kat.

The Sabre pilot looks good and will go great with the other UNSC troops.

The Elite Zealot looks sleek in it’s crimson armor. Menacing.

I’m really looking forward to the Brute Major. McFarlane really has done justice to these brute figures from Reach. Lots of detail and paint.

All in all a good to great wave of figures. Though I’m still hoping for more unique campaign figures…

New McFarlane Reach Toys. Invasion/Objective set.

Posted on by

Here we have a pic (small as it is), of the upcoming packs for Invasion and Team Objective. Prices will vary by store, however should be in the range of $30-33 each.

What’s great about the Invasion set is that you get EACH of the power cores, plus notice the very cool BLUE visor on the Spartan! (That may change though)

The Team Objective set comes with it’s on set of goodness. All three flags, blue, red, and neutral, a flag capture plate, both the UNSC and Covenant bombs, and 5 skulls for headhunter. Personally I’d rather this set NOT come with a spartan so the price would come down. I suspect though that McFarlane is making that a selling point and also justifies the higher cost.

Now if only the Elite General were made in it’s red color!

Spartan Bob S-343 found on Installation 04

Posted on by

I was flying around on Installation 04 last night in theater hoping to get some nice screenshots when I found Spartan Bob. He’s on each of the new Anniversary maps, though I hadn’t seen him yet on Installation 04. I’m not yet sure if he can be had while playing a game on the map. I’m just glad I found him.

Here he is close up then zoomed out so you can find him too.

Mega Bloks Elephant on sale at Target for $64.99! (Normally $99.99)

Folks, if you’ve been thinking about buying this set and haven’t yet, NOW is the time. You’d be hard pressed to find a better deal on the Elephant. It’s a behemoth of a set and comes packed with goodness.

Here it is in front of the box.

Here is a closer view.

As you can see this set comes with several minifigs. The most notable being the Black Recon Spartan. There are two square crates, a power core and of course the awesome all black mongoose as great accessories to the set.

You can read my full review of this great set here: Halo Mega Bloks Review: Elephant

I highly recommend buy it and at the Target sale price, well what are you waiting for? Go and get one now!

A HUGE Easter Egg found and decoded!

Posted on by

The 5 characters at the end of each Halo Anniversary terminal also have a higher meaning than just random glyphs. I, along with a few others on Halo Waypoint, began deciphering the code last night into today and the Forerunner glyphs have been cracked!

Yours truly cracked part of the code first. The first three glyphs from the first terminal are 343. The second terminal’s glyphs are Halo4. From there, someone else took my translations and decoded some more, then another person took that further and decoded the rest.

Check out the following thread on HaloWaypoint.com to see how it all went down, PLUS a whole lot more!
