Just when you thought that every Halo Mega Bloks figure you were going to need from the 2013 Mega Bloks Halo collection was now available, MEGA Brands has unleashed a veritable treasure-trove end-of-the-year set of Halo Mega Bloks figures! MEGA Brands had been teasing the exact contents of this set for several weeks, but thanks to an early ebay auction by someone who has the set in-hand and is selling it, we can now confirm all twenty Halo Mega Bloks figures included in the Halo Mega Bloks Ultimate Combat Pack 97233!
I wasn’t totally convinced that MEGA Brands was going to be able to sell me on a box set of twenty Halo Mega Bloks figures, but then they went and included a black Security Spartan. Sigh–my wallet bleeds. It’s worth noting that this Halo Mega Bloks sets is pure, classic Halo through-and-through. There’s not a single figure included in this set that comes from the Halo Reach or Halo 4 video games–just all your old favorites like Security Spartans, Elite Commandos and more!
Seven of the twenty figures in this set have been previously released (though some of which were in hard-to-find exclusive sets), while thirteen of the figures in the Halo Mega Bloks Ultimate Combat Pack 97233 are brand-new releases!
The full list of 20 figures included in this Mega Bloks Halo Ultimate Combat Pack set are as follows:
- Orange Elite Commando
- Orange Elite Flight
- Orange Combat Elite
- Orange Grunt (Previously Released in Halo Mega Bloks Series 6)
- Orange Spec Ops Grunt (Previously Released with 2012 Shade Turret)
- Cyan Grunt
- Cyan Spec Ops Grunt
- Cyan Jump-Pack Brute
- Cyan Brute
- Active Camo Cyan Jump Pack Brute
- Black EOD Spartan

This Mega Bloks Halo Ultimate Combat Pack 97233 set is a Toys R Us exclusive that won’t be available at other retailers, so start haunting your local Toys R Us stores for this set if you want to army-build Black and Green UNSC forces and orange and teal/cyan Covenant troops of your very own!
MEGA Brands had my money locked-in just with the Black Spartan Security Mega Bloks figure, but what do you think about this rather spectacular Halo Mega Bloks Ultimate Combat Pack set, Halo collectors? Is this set a total must-have for your Halo Mega Bloks collection, or are these repaints of previously-released molds not something you feel you need to have for yourself?
Wow. Amazing. Need it. Dabid, can you tell me what weapons there are?
I think that the Silver ODST is actually not from the Battle Unit, but it’s hard to tell. Time will reveal.
I just hope it isn’t too expensive.
This shouldn’t be a Toys r us exclusive, as they already get way too many exclusives.
its 54.99. TRU has had the price tag up on the shelf for about a month now.
Oh. and Thanks for posting this Dabid! Ive been looking forward to the green and black troops! Now if i could just get some snow troop builders like this.
Mustgetmustgetmustgetmustget!!!!!!!!!! So exited with this news. Perfect armybuilding.
Must get but does anybody have an idea how much this is.
Is the spartan laser grey or is it reflection or something
the UNSC weapons are silver, not grey. Just saw them in the store.
To paraphrase the group Queen, “I want them all. I want them all. I want them all. And I want them NOW!” LOL. I’m not that concerned that they will only be at Toys R Us. That I can live with. My problem is that, as of right now, I can only get my beloved EOD Spartans in black by buying this set. And even if they price this pack at $60 ($3 per figure) that will end-up costing quite a bit just to get two in an attempt to army build. Or I guess I can pay an ugly price of around $6 apiece to get them off Ebay. Decisions, decisions. I guess this is what we get for complaining that Mega Brand had nothing new at NYCC. I wonder what will happen if we start complaining about there being no information on the new releases for 2014 right now. Hmmm…
They did well by making a set with many figures. I HAVE TO HAVE IT!
I wonder when in stock
TOYRUS NOOOO HUGE PRICE TAG.
And plus the figs are all remakes just different colors so I will pass on this.
60 bucks for 20 figs rly. I know its same as mystery pack 3 dollars per fig but still no.
I would rather get halo 5 itself lol.
oh and the light blue figs look terrible.
Pass. Too many repeats for $55. The Flame Marine is the only mold that a lot of people might not have if they got into Halo Mega Bloks after the original Halo Wars sets.
I just left Toys R Us in Frisco Texas and saw the set for $49.99. Plus they are doing buy one get the second 40% off threw Saturday. It’s a lot for the set but still not bad for Toys R Us.
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the figures are all from Halo 3, but there are Halo Reach weapons thrown in randomly?
It’s only $30 retail in vancouver, canada.
Can someone please tell me which two Spartans get the backpacks?
The ODST’s get the backpacks.
i want that flame marine!!!
I always wondered when we were gonna get orange covenant units, in the Flood Siege set we had orange flood elite combat forms but didn’t give them heads to replace, Mega Bloks gave me a nice answer why.
