Halo 4 Majestic Map Pack Strategy: Monolith
While personally, I bored of Forerunner maps, this one does have a nice aesthetic.
Halo 4 Majestic Map Pack Strategy: Landfall
Wow I am just SO excited to play on this map! It just looks “REAL.” Everything has a purpose on the map. I love maps with realism to them, rather than just shapes to dodge and run around.
Toyfair video of Halo Mega Bloks toys!
I didn’t get the chance to go this year, so I was bumming. However, I found the link to his vid via a collector site and just had to post it.
Points to note during the video are:
• Light up sets with sound!
• The Pelican comes with Majestic squad (well, that’s what Annamarie the rep said. (Wow that’s awesome news)
• A first ever light up character, which I have to think is the Promethean Knight showing it’s skull face (can be seen at 4:30 in the vid).
• Commande Palmer fig. (Wow, it’s cool that MB is finally making named Spartans!)
• A neat build a ship theme that spans three sets. Individually the sets are a small set piece, together they build the Booster Frame from the Halo Legends cartoon.
• One of those minifigs is a Halo 4 Medic!! (As a side note, we can have fun with Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter here as they did voice-over in Halo 4 with these being the characters they were made to be)
• Four versions of the Cyclops Mech-Jungle, Desert, Arctic, Stealth
• Halo 4 grunts, Brute Stalker (YES), variant color Elites from Halo 4
• Hornet set with Vampire Hornet lights up and makes sounds. (I do wish the Hornet was made available by itself.) The Vampire again? Yikes, that ship is barely known and not ever in the FPS games. This is the only ship I questions being made again. (This would have been a better opportunity for the Anti-Air Wraith to have been made instead.)
• The new “Cobra” set lights up and “transforms” from vehicle to turret positions.
• Engineer Spartan (seen at 6:25)
• Several Promethean fig/armor sets (army building sets!)
All in all some great set coming out. And I do very much like that they are smaller sets. Makes it that much easier to collect for both kids and fans alike.
