I thought we had now seen every single one of the Halo Mega Bloks Summer 2013 sets, but it seems there was one left that slipped through the cracks! The Target website listed their new exclusive sets over the weekend (photos and text only–none of them are actually available for purchase yet), and there was one new item listed we hadn’t seen before: a Halo Mega Bloks Team Blue Collector’s Edition Pack of 8 exclusive figures!
The newly-revealed Halo Mega Bloks Collector’s Edition Pack figures all look to be based upon designs from Halo Reach. The set includes three all-new Gold Spartans, an Active Camo Air Assault Spartan, a blue Grunt, a Silver Elite General, a Team Blue Elite Pilot and a Team Blue Elite Ascetic. The blue visors on the Spartans look a little bit funky with the gold armor, but otherwise this is a nice looking set–especially for just $20. It’s a much better deal than the other two Target Team Blue exclusives. And speaking of which…
Target has also listed the two Team Blue exclusive vehicles on their site now that we reported on last week. They’re not currently available, but we can see the prices, which are more than a little bit unflattering.
$24.99 for the Blue Rockethog, Target? And $19.99 for a Blue Banshee repaint of a vehicle no one would buy for $10-$13? No thank you, Target! Ordinarily Target prices their Mega Bloks Halo exclusives fairly, but this apparently isn’t one of those times.
If I buy either of the Mega Bloks Halo Team Blue Vehicle sets, it’s going to be strictly off of the clearance rack that they’ll inevitably hit. Sometimes Target has some really nice exclusives, but these are unimaginative, weird looking and overpriced. Not a good combination at all. Compared to the actual new Summer 2013 Halo Mega Bloks sets, these exclusives are pretty weak.
Look for the Target Exclusive Halo Mega Bloks Team Blue Rockethog, Banshee, and Collector’s Edition Figure Packs to hit Target stores sometime in July 2013. Thanks to Joe for giving me the heads-up on the new Team Blue Halo Mega Bloks Collector’s Edition Pack of figures being shown on the Target website!
Love it I’m glad they added an elite general but why is the grunt armed with a plasma rifle I’ve never seen one with one
McFarlane liked to equip Plasma Rifles with lots of their Grunts as well. Maybe the Covenant arm their Grunts better than we thought? =D
hi Dabid.i am new. is it possible to post the website to buying the target exclusive set? you’ve mentioned above?
Yeah, post the url, lol. : )
Dabid, can you post the url for buying the product?
Uh, you do realize that as the webmaster, I can see that all of these “new guy” replies come from the same IP address, right Minjae?
Anyway, it’s the Target website, but like I said, the set isn’t available for purchase yet.
Sorry, i did not know. my only reason to posting comments that way was because this is my first post in the whole history of posts… have mercy on me! (I am in middle school, Australia)
minor correction: the Team Blue Elite Pilot and Team Blue Elite Ascetic come with the Banshee I believe. The Collector’s Edition Pack has 2 blue Combat Elites.
Hey I sent you a link to this! Didn’t think you would actually do an article on it. Lol
Not only did I write an article on it, you’re credited for the link in the article. =P
Haha sorry I’m so stupid at times. I completely skipped that paragraph when reading. I was distracted by that Elder scrolls ad! XD
so let me get this straight, 2 gold Spartans with blue visors, what in the blue h3ll is Mega Bloks thinking? If Mega Bloks had a brain, they would have chosen black visors!
I love this set for all except the blue visors. I was looking forward to the rockethog, but for $25?! I don’t think so…
actually the collectors addition comes with 2 commando elites and I thought the blue banshee came with a elite ultra guess I should look more closely or I’m starting to get confused of the name ranks of elites
I kinda like the blue wharthog because it comes with a couple of reach Spartans and I like the blue paint on it too. but for sure I’m buying this so I can put the silver torso on my arbiter so he can have a body(brother mindlessly stepped on it) but yahoo I found this on target.com and I was really really excited!
What armor permutation is the active camo spartan? It looks like air assault.
Go Lego!!!
Go somewhere else!
I don’t mind the blue visors on the gold Spartans that much also I think the blue rocket hog isn’t that bad of deal for 20 25 dollars but the banshee is and yes the active cammo spartan is an air assault or maybe a recon
