<\/a><\/p>\nAs you can see, the set is listed for $269.99 (Canadian).<\/p>\n
Here’s a bigger shot of the Scarab as listed:<\/p>\n
Now at first glance, I noticed that several details have changed between this final version and what we saw from New York Toy Fair back in February of this year. Speaking of, here is a photo of that one:<\/p>\n As you may plainly see, the legs have lost MUCH of the detail in the “knee” areas. Instead of the more fluid\/industrial knees of the NYTF prototype, the TRU listing shows us a much more “blocky” version. So the questions becomes, why the change in design? While the prototype is more visually appealing, the redesign is a more stable build.<\/p>\n Much of the body has not changed significantly. There are some tile pieces towards the top of the body that before were ‘studded’ plates.<\/p>\n The large cannon on the top of the Scarab has bee reworked and looks better in the official version shown on the Toys R Us website.<\/p>\n Now, I’m sure you’re saying, well, how do you know that’s official and not a mistake in the picture shown? Simple, I e-mailed Mega for an official answer to this listing. The simple answer I got back was that the TRU info is accurate. They were disappointed by the low quality render shown on TRU’s website, so we may see that change.<\/p>\n Now, with that said, officially from Mega, the further questions regarding the figures in the set has also been answered. No longer will we be getting 2 Brute Honor Guards and the Prophet of Regret as well as Master Chief, as shown in the New York Toy Fair prototype model picture.<\/p>\n Instead, here is the TRU listing information:<\/p>\n Description<\/strong><\/span> Features<\/strong><\/span> Additional Info HFFL:<\/strong><\/span> So as you can see, the Brute Honor Guards are indeed gone from the set, replaced by an Elite Ascetic and Commando. The Prophet has been swapped out now and we are getting a holographic Prophet of Truth instead of Regret. Master Chief is no longer in the set either, though we are still getting the Jackal Snipers.<\/p>\n I know that some of this news is disappointing to some of you. Believe me, I’m disappointed by not getting the Brute Honor Guards.I followed up with Mega asking them if we’ll see the Brute Honor Guards in a later set. I’m awaiting their response to that and will post it here, when I receive it. The figures though, are not as important to me as the actual Scarab itself.<\/p>\n While the build has change slightly in the legs, I’m still very much looking forward to getting this set<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n To see the TRU Canada listing for yourself, please follow this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n [UPDATE]<\/strong><\/span> I went back to YouTube to find a video review of this set from New York Toy Fair. In the vid, Tim from Mega Bloks says this is a final set, then later says it’s not finished.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3KuAzb4YWcE<\/p>\n [\/UPDATE]\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n -Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A listing for the Signature series Halo Mega Bloks Scarab was found on Toys R Us Canada, by a fellow Halo Mega Bloks fan (Apologies I do not have that person’s name at this time and will post it when … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
