If you’re following Halo Toy News on Facebook (and if you’re not, you should be), you already know that I made the first confirmed U.S. sighting of the 2014 Halo Mega Bloks Spartan IV Battle Pack 97208 last week. Once that happened, I knew the floodgates were well and truly opened, and the new Halo Mega Bloks 2014 sets were about to start pouring into stores. I was right, as sightings are now popping up all over the place–including of the just-released 2014 Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Weapons Pack II 97207, which comes with one of the coolest UNSC Marines figures ever…
We already knew that this figure was coming from the photos of the ones released in Asia last month, but it’s exciting to get confirmation of this set being available domestically before the end of the year.
The big draw for this set is that it includes one of the most unique Halo 4 UNSC Marine Mega Bloks figures ever designed, as well as the very first Halo Mega Bloks weapons with skins on them! If I said I didn’t want to army-build those skinned DMRs and Assault Rifles, I would be totally lying.
MEGA Brands has gotten really good at designing these various small Weapons Pack-type sets. The little terrain diorama with sandbags that the UNSC Marine figure comes with is quite nice for the price, even if this “weapons rack” is a little bit sparse in and of itself.
There you have it, Halo collectors! Mega Bloks Halo 97207 UNSC Weapons Pack II set is now officially released in stores in the United States. Target seems like the most likely place to hit the jackpot and pick up this set early, so move Target to the top of your list of places to visit today if you want to secure this Halo Mega Bloks 2014 set before the holidays!
Is the UNSC Weapons Pack II Halo Mega Bloks set a must-buy for you, or does it take more than some new weapons skins and a very cool Marine Mega Bloks figure to win you over?
Picked this up last week at target.
Can’t wait to get it!
one word….. AWESOME!!!!! 🙂
I wish they made a fotus spartan with how light rifle
I meant “his” light rifle
omg!
They are releasing this again with the new articulation
Do you happen to know when they will be releasing the new articulated figure from set 97207? I can’t seem to find it anywhere….
