Regardless, all NEW buildable vehicles and PLAYSETS. Okay, so I&#8217;m hoping this means with regards to vehicles, they are redesigns of vehicles already done. One exception though I&#8217;d like to see is the newer style Banshee. I prefer the smaller curvier wings to the longer straighter ones of the classic trilogy.<br \/>\n&#8211; Playset! YES!!! Now what location(s) could they be? There&#8217;s a TOn to choose from. Would these be smal like the Cryo Bay one for last year or larger like the High Ground set from the previous year?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">&#8220;introduction of the new\u00a0<b>Mega Bloks Halo\u00a0<\/b>super-poseable micro action figures with interchangeable armor&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n&#8211; NEW super poseable figs w\/interchangeable armor? Okay, either my mind is BLOWN, or, we&#8217;re still getting the same style figures and not the scale\/articulation like the COD figs have. As for interchangeable armor? OMG! YES!!! So this has me thinking Mega might just be doing a new scale size. UGH&#8230;While it&#8217;s nice to have better figures, changing scale always kills things for me. I don&#8217;t want to recollect everything all over again. We&#8217;ll have to see how this plays out.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">over 20 new items<\/span><br \/>\n&#8211; This could be anything from single pack figs, to multi pack figs to vehicles and playsets. Again a wait and see. Regardless, still a nice bit to collect, build and play\/display.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PEWWWwwwww&#8230;.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n&#8211; That sound you just heard was my mind being blown away for sure by this next item.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><b>UNSC RC Attack Mantis\u00a0<\/b>features a wireless remote control weapons system with multiple\u00a0rocket launchers!<\/span><br \/>\n&#8211; Remote Controlled Mantis!!!
