I had the pleasure and honor of visiting the Mega Brands display at New York Toy Fair this year. The following is part two or three in my adventure. The Die-Cast line!

Some really cool stuff in the above pic. There are 5 different battle packs with micro figs, two small vehicles, and 3 large vehicles.

The Warthog and Banshee get the treatment as well.

Next are the Wraith and Scorpion.

And now the Falcon.

And now here they are in their “natural” habitat, LOL.

As you can see in the diorama pics, the Wraith is the previous plum purple color and not yet in the soon to be released blue-ish purple color. Hopefully that gets made. As well look closely in the shots and you’ll see the Shade Turret.

Each of the sets comes with a Die Cast metal figure along with the plastic micro figs.

I was a little skeptical of this line when I first heard it, but now having seen it in person it is AWESOME!!! I’ll have some very cool pics tomorrow of some of these sets. I was lucky enough to get some early and will be giving a full review with pics!!!

Coming shortly part 3 the Mega Brands LAN!

I had the pleasure and honor of visiting the Mega Brands display at New York Toy Fair this year. The night before, my wife Emily (staff writer and photographer here at HFFL), went to ToysRUs in Times Square and got a few pics of the Mega Bloks section.

Handsome fella huh? (I mean Master Chief, not me, LOL)

The next day I got ready and my wife and I went to our first Toy Fair. Below is the board showing Mega Brands Inc. logos for their respective product lines.

Master Chief was guarding the entrance to the exhibit.

Below, I’m being videoed for a Mega Bloks promotion spot (now on their Blog: http://blog.megabloks.com/posts/halo-sneak-peek-at-new-york-toy-fair/). The fellow to the right of the pic taking the video is Brendon Sera-Shriar, Senior Community Manager of Mega Brands Inc. (Note that Andrew “Sparky” Sparkes is watching from the video in the top right corner of the pic…LOL)

And now for the great new stuff, some available now, some coming VERY soon!

The following pic shows packaging that has not been fully approved yet. So the box art may change between now and when the sets are released.

And the armory board!
