Excerpts from the Halo Mega Bloks blog:

So how many bloks were used to make the Promethean Knight???

The final piececount, revealed back in Montreal by the planning team who put together the beast was an astonishing 420,173 bloks.

“After sifting through the 7,500 entries, we were thrilled to find a guess that was off by only 3 pieces – an incredibly close guess considering how much variance there was in guesses across the board. So a big congratulations goes out to somebody named Goober, with a guess of 420,170 pieces, that would have won him or her the entire fall line-up of Mega Bloks Halo toys…had the emails we sent been answered within the provided one week period. Now we’re in the process of contacting the next closest guesser.”

Okay, who’s the “goober” that didn’t respond to their e-mail? SERIOUSLY?
