SDCC 2015 Exclusive Halo Mega Bloks Icons Figures Set

Traditionally, San Diego Comic-Con has not been the most thrilling event for Halo collectors. But that was in the past, and things are definitely looking up for Halo fans at SDCC 2015! Not only is 2015 the first full year that Mattel has had as owner of MEGA Brands, but it’s also the first year that Mattel has a special SDCC Halo Mega Bloks Exclusive set planned for release! Coming our way next month: it’s the Halo 5 Mega Bloks Icons Box set with the Master Chief, Spartan Locke and the Arbiter!

2015 New York Toy Fair Mega Bloks Halo UNSC Attack Warthog Summer 2015 Set

While MEGA Brands didn’t want to show off all of their Summer/Fall 2015 Halo Mega Bloks sets to the press at the New York Toy Fair 2015 last week, one set that they had no problem showcasing features a new version of the most iconic vehicle in Halo lore. Coming later this year–it’s the Halo 5 Mega Bloks UNSC Attack Gausshog set… with Master Chief and Arbiter figures!

New York Toy Fair 2015 Halo Mega Bloks Firebase

One of the great tragedies of the early days of the Halo Mega Bloks toy line is that the enormous Halo Wars Firebase Mega Bloks set was cancelled, despite a prototype of the Mega Bloks Firebase being created and shown off. Halo fans have been sorrowful over this loss for years–but as revealed at the 2015 Toy Fair, MEGA Brands is going to do their best to make things right! Though it’s undergone a lot of changes since the original model, a Halo Mega Bloks Firebase set is finally coming in summer/fall 2015…

Mega Bloks Halo 5 Guardians Vulture Set with Agent Locke

With the changing of the guard and Mattel taking over MEGA Brands, I feared that the days of seeing obscure, niche Halo vehicles represented in the Halo Mega Bloks toy line might be over. But at New York Toy Fair 2015, Mattel/MEGA Brands proved that that was not the case! While there aren’t many vehicles from Halo Wars remaining that need representation in Mega Bloks Halo toys form, we can cross one of the largest off the list: the Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Vulture flew in at the 2015 Toy Fair!

New York Toy Fair 2015: Halo 5 Mega Bloks UNSC Tank Photos!

2015 New York Toy Fair Mega Bloks Halo 5 Tank

One of the things that Halo Mega Bloks fans have cried out for, almost since the start of the Mega Bloks Halo toys line, was a fully-revamped Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Scorpion Tank. While the first-ever wave contained a Halo Mega Bloks Scorpion tank–and we got a slightly tweaked ODST Scorpion later on–a new and improved Halo Mega Bloks Scorpion just never came to a fruition. However, at New York Toy Fair 2015, we got our first look at an all-new Halo 5 Mega Bloks Tank that’s not a new Scorpion, but is definitely the next best thing!

2015 Mega Bloks Halo Covenant Drone Outbreak Box

It’s been a pretty quiet winter for Halo Mega Bloks collectors, but as stores reset their aisles for the new year, several of the Halo Mega Bloks 2015 sets are making their way out into online stores and onto physical store shelves in respectable quantities. And of the sets finally making their presence known in force, none is more high-profile than the Halo Mega Bloks Covenant Drone Outbreak set, which gives us our first Halo Mega Bloks Drone figures… and our first official Jorge figure!

Halo Mega Bloks 96974 Set Released

I said long ago that I had no interest in picking up an XBox One until Halo came to the system, and I stayed true to my word. But with the Halo Master Chief Collection game hitting stores next week, I finally decided to go pick up my limited-edition white XBox One bundle today. On my trip into town to pick up my XBox console, I stopped at Toys R Us on a whim. While there, my eyes lit up to finally see something I’d waited my entire Halo collecting life for: the Signature Series Halo Mega Bloks Covenant Scarab 97964 has now been released!

Halo Mega Bloks Bravo Series Skirmisher and Green Grunt Figures 2015

2014 has gone by like a whirlwind, and as crazy as it may be, it’s already time to get psyched up for the Halo Mega Bloks 2015 sets! Even though the absolute earliest we should see the Halo Mega Bloks Bravo Series (AKA Halo Mega Bloks Series 11) figures beginning to arrive is in December 2014, over the past week MEGA Brands has been nice enough to reveal all nine figures that make up the eight different Halo Mega Bloks Series Bravo blind bag mystery packs…

Earlier this month, MEGA Brands announced that the special Halo Mega Bloks Ultimate Battle Collector Pack 97390 would be coming to Target stores “soon”. Well, at the time we weren’t sure exactly just how soon “soon” was… but we sure do know now!

Halo Mega Bloks Anniversary Edition Battleground Set Released with Tartarus

Having been jacked up by the excitement and news coming out of San Diego Comic Con 2014 for the better part of a week, I went out to Toys R Us yesterday more out of restlessness than any expectation of finding anything new on the shelves. So imagine my surprise when I waltzed into Toys R Us and discovered not only many of the Halo Mega Bloks Summer 2014 sets (including the Alpha Series), but also the exclusive Halo Mega Bloks Anniversary Battleground 97519 set with Tartarus…

Halo Mega Bloks Spartan Tribute Pack Revealed! 20 Figures!

They say that big toy reveals come in threes (actually, I may have just made that up), and MEGA Brands proved that statement this fourth of July holiday weekend! First they debuted the monumental Halo Mega Bloks Hierarch’s Shade Convoy set, and then followed it up with the Halo 2 Anniversary Battleground battle pack. And to close out the weekend, MEGA had one more humongous Mega Bloks Halo set to announce: the Halo Mega Bloks Spartan Tribute Pack, which comes loaded with twenty Spartan Mark IV figures!

Halo Mega Bloks Anniversary Collection Battleground Halo 2 Anniversary Set with Tartarus

After the reveal of the spectacular Halo Mega Bloks Hierarch’s Shadow Convoy on the 4th of July–including the long-requested Covenant Shade vehicle and the first-ever Mega Bloks figures of Sergeant Johnson and the Prophet of Truth–what more could Halo collectors really ask for? But while MEGA Brands didn’t really owe us anything else after such a landmark unveiling, they promised to debut another set this weekend anyway. And while it isn’t as monumental as the Halo Mega Bloks Shadow Convoy set, the Halo Mega Bloks Anniversary Collection Battleground set does include another headliner unique character: Tartarus!

Halo Mega Bloks Hierarch's Shadow Convoy 97521 Set with Prophet Sgt Johnson Figures

In the glory days of the Halo Mega Bloks line, it seemed like every time you turned around an unannounced store exclusive Halo Mega Bloks set was rearing its head somewhere in the world. Those days are sadly behind us, and the number of 2014 Halo Mega Bloks exclusives pales in comparison to what we’ve had in past years. But while we may not get a lot of Mega Bloks Halo 2014 exclusive sets, the ones we do get may make up in quality what they lack in quantity! Just revealed this week at the RTX 2014 event this week–the Halo Mega Bloks Hierarch’s Shadow Convoy 97521… with Halo Mega Bloks Sergeant Johnson figure!
