Remember the other day when I talked about the Sideshow Exclusive Edition Master Chief Premium Format Figure? The one that pre-sold out for $400 last year that just shipped and is selling for a crazy $1000 online now? Well, Sideshow is back at it again, with not one but two new Halo statues that are going to be even more limited than the exclusive Master Chief with Needler! Going up for sale on Thursday, December 19th–the Halo Spartan Red Team Leader and Blue Team Leader Premium Format Figure statues! And this time, they’re limited to one hundred pieces each…

If you’ve been biding your time and waiting to see if the price was going to drop on the deluxe McFarlane Halo 4 Didact figure, your time has come. I paid $30+ for my McFarlane Didact figure and thought it … Continue Reading →
Last night I posted the first Halo Mega Bloks Series 8 codes list, but now I reckon it might be prudent to backtrack a bit and talk about the first set of Halo Mega Bloks 2014 mystery pack blind bags figures! Those hoping for another humongous assortment of 20 figures like we got for Series 7 are doomed to disappointment, but Mega Bloks Halo Series 8 still has some enticing figure included that have never been in the Halo Mystery Packs before…

Looking to give (or ask for) a really wicked Halo-themed Christmas present? Well, how about the best (and most expensive) Halo figure ever made, on sale for its lowest price ever…?
When I saw the first of the ThreeA Toys Halo sixth scale figures go up for sale, there were a couple of reasons I didn’t order one. First was the fact that the character chosen was the Spartan Noble Squad leader, Commander Carter, perhaps my least favorite character in the whole Halo universe. The other reason was that this particular Halo action figure carried a price tag of $220. Well, I definitely don’t like Carter any more today than I did six months ago, but the other problem has cleared up a bit–the ThreeA Toys Halo Reach Carter 1/6 figure is now being clearance priced to a far more reasonable $140 shipped…

When I first heard about the upcoming Halo Mega Bloks Micro Fleet sets last week, I immediately surmised that the concept was a sort of Halo copycat approach to the LEGO Star Wars Planets series. Well, we’re about a month … Continue Reading →
Things have continued to be a little bit slow lately on the Halo toy news front (though I imagine you’ve all noticed that by now), but retailer BA Toys has uncovered some surprising intel on the Halo Mega Bloks 2014 … Continue Reading →
I woke up this morning to one of the biggest Halo headlines of the year: “NECA Announces Partnership With 343 Industries for Halo Merchandise”. At a glance this announcement is pretty jaw-dropping, but upon reading the exact details of the news, it’s not quite as riveting as you might hope…

A few people have written in to me asking when I was going to discuss the not-quite-secret-anymore 2014 Halo Mega Bloks Drop Pods, but I’ve been putting off that particular assortment for a couple reasons. Primarily, though, it’s because I … Continue Reading →

Earlier today I discussed three of the four known upcoming Halo Mega Bloks 2014 sets, but I wanted to hold out on talking about the fourth until I had a bit more time. It’s actually the smallest of the four sets, but there’s the most to talk about because it’s the first 2014 Halo Mega Bloks set that we’ve had the pleasure of seeing both packaged and loose! Coming in January 2014, it’s the Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Weapons Pack II 97207!

Though we’re less than two months away from the start of 2014, MEGA Brands has done a pretty amazing job this year of keeping all details (even the set names!) of their upcoming slate of Halo Mega Bloks 2014 sets top-secret.

Thus, this weekend we got our first glance at a quartet of 2014 Halo Mega Bloks sets, including an all-new UNSC Cyclops and Covenant Ghost…
