I’ve been talking about the 2013 Halo Mega Bloks Cauldron Clash 97118 set for months for a reason, and that reason is that even without owning it yet, I could tell that this set was awesome. I finally got my … Continue Reading →
While many of the Halo McFarlane Toys action figures are pretty nice, sometimes you might want to spring for something a little more exquisite (and a lot more expensive). Enter Square-Enix and their Halo Play Arts Kai line of figures. … Continue Reading →
When I first heard that a Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Ammo Pack was coming in 2013, visions of a package full of rare weapons danced in my head. So when we got our first of what was really included in … Continue Reading →
