I should have posted this yesterday but got way to busy to get to it.
SPOILERS BELOW You have been warned.
Halo Toy Review: Bandai Sprukits Master Chief
Sprukits have been out for a little while. I just haven’t had the extra funds to get them. In fact I still don’t. However, when I went to New York Toy Fair, I talked with all of the manufacturers that had a license to make Halo toys and collectibles. BanDai is one of those. I won’t mention who I talked to so as to keep them from getting unwanted solicitations for these sets. Anyway… After New York Toy Fair, I was contacted by the person at BanDai. We exchanged pleasantries and reminisced about Toy Fair a little. They they did something incredibly generous. They ask for my address and said they wanted to send me some sets. I graciously accepted their offer.
There are four sets at retail currently. At level 2 there are Master Chief, Spartan Thorne, and Commander Palmer. There is a level 3 Master Chief as well. When the person said they would send sets, I thought, well, maybe I’ll get two of them since it was plural. It wouldn’t have mattered which I would have received. I would have been thankful for any. However, when I got the box from BanDai, it included one each of all four sets! As well, they included a Sprukits T-shirt! I was a bit gobsmacked by their generosity.
This review is the first of the four that I’ll be putting out over the next week and a half. In particular, this is the level 2 Master Chief. It’s the smaller of the two Master Chief Sprukit models.
Okay, without further ado, let’s get to the review. Continue reading

Halo 5 Guardians getting story-revealing trailor this week
The following is a partial re-blog from IGN.com:
Halo 5: Guardians is getting a live-action trailer set to reveal a glimpse of the game’s story on March 29.
Microsoft has revealed the trailer will be watchable online, and is set to build on the other elements of the marketing campaign we’ve seen so far.
The new trailer promises to show “both sides of the story”.
In other recent Halo news, the studio head for Halo 5: Guardians, Josh Holmes, revealed last week that the title will have only have dedicated servers for multiplayer, adding “That’s true for matchmaking AND customs. There is no P2P.”
HFFL: Well things are definitely getting exciting. I hope there is news soon of the live action TV show also.
Thanks to my bud Isaiah for the Intel on this.

ISSUE 16
Halo again my friends, and welcome to another installment of your weekly look at the lore you love. Last week, we dropped some book-based bombs on the community, announcing our 2015 Halo print publishing lineup with the fabulous folks at Simon & Schuster. While this edition might seem a bit “salad bar” to last week’s “Brazilian steakhouse,” we hope you’ll find it no less tasty. So join us as we shed a bit of light on recent regalia, clear up a little bit o’ Bias, and give you your first screenshot assignment.
A far flung theory about the HuntTheTruth website/graphic
Okay folks, have a seat and get ready for some wild speculation. This is going to take some slight imagination, along with a theory based in Greek mythology.
First, as we know, some of the Halo franchise has Greek mythology imprinted into it. The most obvious being that of the Promethean of Halo 4.
So how does that fit in with what I’m about to speculate on. Okay, well here goes…
The huntthetruth website was just announced a couple of days ago and will reveal something in less than a day as of this writing. If you go to the site, you will find the following graphic: Continue reading
Regarding leaks
For those that want to give me guff over reposting the video from the Hunt the Truth website, I am only one fan with a simple blog. I unlike others do not make any money from Halo. I repost or reblog leaked content because I know other fans want to know more information.
if someone from Microsoft contacts me and asked me to take the post down I will. This has never been an issue before. Continue reading

Hunt the Truth!!
There has been a VERY interesting development, regarding Halo 5.
With the tag line of: What seems like the end, is only the beginning, could something ominous be afoot?
To wait (impatiently) like me for whatever this may be, check out the official website for this HERE.
Now of course 343 just HAD to do this when the Walking Dead is on….looks like I’ll be VERY busy Sunday night (my time).

This is a reblog from Polygon:
Halo 5: Guardians has a part for Cortana to play, despite the events of Halo 4, Halo series actor Mike Colter told IGN.
