New York Toy Fair 2014 Halo toy news: Mega Bloks Elephant Troop Carrier-more details

MB grey logoThere’s a bit to talk about with this set. Before that, let me state that pics are from figures.com. I’ve cropped and color corrected them for clarity.

Now let’s talk about what we’re seeing here. First off we’re finally getting Carter and Jun from Halo Reach! I’m loving that a jetpack is include as well. Now is that UNSC Sergeant brown skinned? If so, then we’ve also got Master Sgt. Johnson! Add two more marines and a medic and this set is chock full of figures! As well there’s a mini Cortana fig. It looks like this Cortana might have a light up base as well.

This is a big set coming in at 1200 pieces. I’m hoping that this set is no more than $100, but I have a feeling it will be more around $125+.

The design/construction of this set looks to be better than the previous Elephant we got. I’m stoked for this set!

One last photo of it on display outside of the box among the other sets:

Mega is coming out with some big sets this year. This one, the RC Mantis, the Broadsword and then the massive Scarab. It’s going to be crazy expensive this year  to get them all.
