Coming to major retail stores like Wal*Mart<\/a>, Target, and Toys R Us is the\u00a0Mega Bloks Halo UNSC Hornet vs. Covenant Vampire. Both have been released before, but never together. If I’m correct, these are both revised builds from the previous releases.<\/p>\n

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

The set includes:
\n\u2022 Buildable UNSC Hornet with in-game lights and sound
\n\u2022 Buildable Covenant Vampire
\n\u2022 UNSC Troops: Spartan in Recruit maroon, Spartan in Engineer green, Spartan in Soldier green
\n\u2022 Covenant Troops: Elite Storm in copper, Grunt Storm in copper, Elite Zealot in silver<\/p>\n

Here’s the toy description:\u00a0The UNSC Hornet is a versatile UNSC aircraft with a nose-mounted heavy auto cannon. The sound of the Hornet turbines roar to life as two Spartans prepare for take-off. Engage the heavily armed Vampire and strafe its Covenant assault unit with the new UNSC Hornet, now with motion-activated lights and authentic in-game sounds!<\/p>\n

Getting SIX figures in a set is always cool. Three being Spartans? Better yet! I like that we also get a Storm Grunt, Copper Storm Elite and a Zealot Elite (especially that it’s in silver). I don’t really have a need for another Vampire though. Personally, I’d rather have had the Covenant Sniper tower instead with a Jackal or two. Still, for those who never got the Vampire (which was only previously available in the ODST Scorpion\/Vampire set), then this is a good alternative.<\/p>\n
