Mega Bloks showed off one of their Halo 2 Anniversary sets at RTX today…<\/p>\n

It’s the Shadow! Finally we have that vehicle from Halo 2. I had wondered if we’d ever see it.<\/p>\n

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

I had to lighten this up a bit in photoshop so you could see the set better. It’s a whopper of a set for minifigures. It comes with 10 in all! As you can see on the box, you will also get the first ever Mega Bloks Prophet of Truth AND Sgt. Johnson! On top of those, you get two UNSC Marines, two Jackals, the Arbiter (rarely available before now), and three Elite Honor Guards!<\/p>\n

Plus the Shadow itself! With the set coming in at 485 pieces and being a TRU exclusive, I’d guess the retail price to be about $60. TRU does mark up their exclusives a bit, otherwise this would normally be a $50 set. No official word on the price just yet, though I have reached out to Mega for the MSRP. I’ll let you know as soon as I know.<\/p>\n

[UPDATE!]<\/strong><\/span> I have it from a great source within Mega that the price point will be around $54.99. That’s perfectly acceptable for the piece count, figure count and it being an exclusive.<\/span> [\/UPDATE]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A better pic of the set:<\/p>\n

Here’s the back of the box:<\/p>\n

And yes, I DO know what the blotted out set is. I’m not allowed to reveal it yet though. But check back tomorrow. As soon as I get the word, it’s okay, you’ll see what is behind the white blot out!<\/p>\n

One thing is for sure, I WANT this set. Along with the Scarab coming later this year that also has a Prophet figure, we can only reasonably assume that there will be a THIRD set that will have a Prophet in it as well to make up the triumvirate of the Prophets!<\/p>\n

So might you get this set in honor of Halo 2 Anniversary? Or just because it’s a cool set? Or for the Prophet? If you’re getting it, what is your reasoning???<\/p>\n
