Halo Mega Bloks series 6 minifigures! and a surprise!!
I revealed on Friday the figures to come in series 6 of Halo Mega Bloks single pack figures on the blog.
Halo Mega Bloks series 6 minifigures!
Now they’ve been spotted at retail. Here are pics from francandco.imgur.com showing each figure and a bonus!
Besides the regular figs, you could be lucky enough to find the “Mountain Dew” Elite. Or translucent lime green Elite. So far it’s been found to be with the Tan Marine. So happy hunting.
I REALLY want that Elite. I’m a HUGE fan of translucent toys. This one will look particularly good. Um…if anyone finds this, could you help me out…LOL.
Anyway…these minifigs are really a good deal. They are in my opinion the BEST minifigures out there. FAR better than Lego. Heck Mega’s figures even beat out many of the larger scale figures from other toy lines as far as articulation goes. Even the sculpt on these minifigs is better than most larger toys and certain best in the mini scale.
Given their affordability, I highly suggest picking some up!

The Art of Halo 4-book!
I got this as a present in the mail yesterday. FANTASTIC book. Tons of great concept art (which I absolutely LOVE). There are technical drawings, orthogonal pieces, finished art work and more.
I checked the price on the back of the book and it runs $34.95. Seems a bit pricey. However, what is inside really makes it worth it. The book is just chock full of Halo art goodness. I already own the previous Halo art book, so this one makes for an excellent companion to it and gets you up to date. Even if you don’t own the previous book (which showcases art from all the previous Halo games, NOT Halo 4), I highly recommend getting this one.
The imagery is awe inspiring. There are 5 main chapters:
• Environments: Covers the campaign mission environments
• UNSC: Master Chief, Cortana, Spartans, other troops, weapons and vehicles
• Covenant: similar to the UNSC in content, just skewed towards Covies
• Forerunner: like UNSC, but also includes the Cryptum….and Didact!
• War Games: Multiplayer map environments and Spartan IV Armor variants
This book I’d consider a fairly comprehensive look at the art of Halo 4. I’ll be using it as reference for years!

HFFL’s first Community Playdate tonight!
Starting at 8pm EST/5pm PAC I’ll be hosting the first HaloFanForLife (HFFL) community playdate.
Please refer to this link for the simple rules of tonight: TEH RULEZÂ <—yes spelled that way..
Gametypes/Playlists will be dependent on participation. However, should we get at least 8 people, I’m going to reveal a custom map I created. It’s set for Slayer and CTF. I’m about 95% done with it, just need to play spawn points. Now, what I would like is some constructive criticism. If you like it, great. If you think it needs something fixed, please let me know. Be nice though. Saying this or that sucks won’t get a response from me.
I look forward to meeting you folks on LIVE tonight. To participate, shoot me an invite at my GT: HaloFanForLife1 (you must be a member of the blog to participate-as stated in TEH RULEZ)

Halo 4 War Games daily challenges: 11-14-12
Okay first one, good to go. It doesn’t say 15 in one match. Hopefully that holds up since I almost never use an automatic weapon with exception to the Needler.
More Regicides huh? Okay. But 10 in one match? Yikes. I’m King much of the time when I go in by myself, though this one may be tough. XP is good though, so I’ll try a bit.
