\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s finally almost here. After asking, begging pleading for this vehicle, we now have confirmation of it’s existence. Albeit not from MEGA, but rather from Toys R Us Canada. A fellow collector “Valo” on the “bloks forums” (link in the blogroll to the right on the homepage) found this info.<\/p>\n

\"MB<\/a>While not quite in scale it’s still a behemoth!<\/p>\n

Here are the specs according to Toys R Us Canada:
\n\u2022Buildable UNSC siegework vehicle measuring over 19″ long (49cm) by 9″ high (22cm).
\n\u2022Removable hull and multiple interior compartments
\n\u2022Multiple lowering ramps for troop and vehicle deployment
\n\u2022Vehicle bay designed to store and transport a fully loaded UNSC Night Ops Gausshog (sold separately)!
\n\u2022Figures included: Spartan Recruit, Spartan Operator, Marine, all-new Commander Lasky and mini light-up Roland!<\/p>\n

The M510 Mammoth siegework has no equal in size, firepower, or tactical faculty within the UNSC’s mobile planetside support contingent, making it one of the most powerful ground assets ever designed by humans. At roughly 70 meters in length and carrying numerous mounted support weapons and materiel caches, the M510’s most significant attribute is its topside MAC, designed to target and eliminate hostile vessels, weapons, and even fortifications residing in terrestrial or even suborbital positions. Idea for kids ages 8 and up!<\/p>\n

I have to say, that this is awesome looking. Strange that Canada’s price is $165, while it’s been listed as $179 for the US. Meh, either way, for more than 2000 pieces, it’s a deal.<\/p>\n

Not to mention we get a NAMED character in the form of Commander Lasky. Only Master Chief and Cortana have thus been named outright before. But he’s not the only named character. We also will get a mini light up ROLAND<\/strong><\/span>! YES!!!<\/p>\n

I should add that the Spartan Recruit is “NOT” Thorne, and the Spartan Operator is “NOT” Hoya. Add to that, that you can get “NOT” Grant from the new Pelican and we’re 3\/5 of the way there to completing Fireteam Majestic. Strangely, there is also a Spartan Operator in the Pelican set. So one hopes the Operator listing for the Mammoth is a mistake and it’s actually either “NOT” Madsen or “NOT” DeMarco.<\/p>\n

I like that the hull is removable so you can get to the innards of the vehicle. Great move there MEGA! Stores a Warthog (sold separately). Very cool!<\/p>\n

The set is sold out on TRU Canada’s site. No word if it actually was in stock or if this is a pre-listing to get it ready for the web. We should expect to hear official news from MEGA VERY soon on this. Especially now that the cat’s be not just let out of the bag, but out of the house!<\/p>\n
