MEGA Brands launched an all-new line of smaller-sized Halo Mega Bloks builds early this year–the Halo Mega Bloks Micro-Fleet. The theme began with three sets: a Micro-Fleet Mantis, a Micro-Fleet Warthog and a Micro-Fleet Hornet. That trio includes some of the most popular and iconic Halo vehicles–and in Summer/Fall 2014, they’ll be joined by one new addition: the Halo Mega Bloks Micro-Fleet Falcon 97341!
When the UNSC Falcon debuted in the Halo: Reach video game, Halo fans immediately fell in love with it. And when MEGA Brands released their first Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Falcon with Landing Pad (and not-Kat figure!), it was a best-selling set that went on to be one of the most expensive Mega Bloks Halo sets on the aftermarket. Since then it’s returned as a cool black Flood Hunters black Falcon and a European-only Blue Series Falcon, but this summer we’ll be able to own a Falcon Mega Bloks build like none before it–a Micro-Fleet UNSC Falcon!
This UNSC Falcon Micro Fleet Mega Bloks vehicle has a simplistic elegance to it aesthetically that I think really works. This is probably my favorite of the initial quartet of Mega Bloks Halo Micro-Fleet vehicles, and I think collectors who give this set a chance are going to find themselves having a lot of fun with this little aerial Mega Bloks Falcon.
In addition to the Micro Fleet UNSC Falcon, the set will also include a terrain base plate, a Covenant turret and a blue Spartan Mark VI Halo Mega Bloks figure with a Sniper Rifle. Mega Bloks Sniper Rifles are always in-demand, and plenty of fans will want to snap up this set for the improved articulation and swappable armor on the new-style blue Mark VI Spartan figure.
Given that the first three Micro-Fleet Halo Mega Bloks sets came in Spartan helmets colored green, red, and steel/silver, you can probably guess that color the fourth helmet will be. That’s right, the USC Falcon Micro-Fleet set comes in its own iconic blue Spartan helmet! I think that’s it’s sort of fitting for the Micro Falcon to come in a blue helmet, since so many collectors long for the international exclusive Blue Series Falcon!
The Mega Bloks Halo Micro Fleet Falcon 97341 (with Blue Spartan Mark VI helmet) is scheduled to be released in July/August 2014. The set will contain 70 pieces and is expected to retail for about $14.99.
Now that we’ve seen the fourth entry in the Halo Mega Bloks Micro-Fleet imprint, what are your thoughts on the line, Halo collectors? Are you digging what MEGA Brands has given us so far in the micro-scale, or are you still not sold on the smallest Halo Mega Bloks sets ever?
Definitely getting it.
I’ve enjoyed all three micro fleet sets so far and I can’t wait for this one!
Will the three previous micro fleet sets be re-released with the super articulate figures?
Yes, they will.
the warthog one will have master chief
It looks like the first 3 micro fleet sets might be getting re-released with super poseable figures this time. They were shown that was at Toy Fair. The Quad Walker and Armory Marine also appear to be getting the same upgrade. If you haven’t picked up those sets, it might be worth delaying so until the have the upgraded figures.
This year is going to be the best. I say that every year but this year will truly be the best
Nah! I’m only getting it for the sniper gun
Really???? You don’t like the Falcon? Everybody likes the Falcon, right?
I’m not saying I don’t like the falcon. I just don’t like this small version that much
Could you highlight what we can expect with the new figures?
They’re the same figures but with better articulation and different torso moulds.
European only blue series falcon?
i really want that i think the blue spartan is cool LOL.
in the last picture why is the turret grey?????
this set is in the megabloks store the sniper rifle is improved and is from halo 4 and looks epic !!!! the warthog micro fleet set has master chief it says on the box… weird…. at least its cheaper way to get new master chief instead of the broadsword or the scarab
