Prototype UNSC Vulcan Vs Covenant Revenant: Will We Be Getting This, Or Not?
Recently, a fan on the Official Facebook Page posted a photo of what looks to be a brand new 2012 set at first glance, but it' still being discuss as I'm told if its a concept of the Covenant Revenant with Bubbleshield or an exclusive set similar to the Covenant Strike set sold previously
Personally, I think it's a brand new set exclusive to a certain store coming later on in early 2012. Discuss it below on HaloTheUniverse if you think it will become a worldwide release, exclusive, or scrap like the UNSC Landing Pad
The box art of the photo shows the Covenant Revenant slightly redesigned, the all new UNSC Vulcan never seen before, and 3 mini-figs 2 Covenant Elites and 1 Spartan. I believe myself once the set is fully finished it will be exclusive to Wal-Mart stores worldwide and will line up with the Covenant Strike released in 2011 also a Wal-Mart exclusive
And tune in for more Halo Mega Bloks and other Halo news. Remember this is a prototype so some information isn't correct

Interview With Dan Wang, Director Of Halo: Helljumper
I recently contacted Dan Wang, Director of the upcoming web series Halo: Helljumper expected to release in January 2012. I asked Dan if it's alright to set up a Interview that I can put on my blog, Halo The Universe. Here below is what he had to say when I asked him the following questions
Thanks Dan for taking the time to answer these questions
1. I've heard countless times you use the word "Hope" to describe Halo Helljumper's story, what really inspired you to make the story about hope?
A. That’s a good question. Halo’s universe goes way beyond that of the games where you play a super soldier that essentially gets the job done by blasting his way through hordes of aliens. We often forget about the regular soldiers who don’t have the same advantage. They can’t rely on tremendous strength, ultrafast reflexes, and shield generating armor to save themselves. Often, marines and ODSTs are found on the losing side of the battle and essentially, what people don’t see sometimes, is that cold fact that humans have a grim chance of winning the war. In our case, throughout the project, there were a lot of odds stacked against us in being able to successfully complete our episode. But the one thing that keeps both us and Gage going is that light at the end of the tunnel.
2. What's the biggest problem you had facing while working on the production of Halo Helljumper
A. There were a multitude of issues that we had to address during our production. Some bigger than others, but one of the biggest setbacks was on the first and second days of shooting, where our equipment trucks were delayed from extreme traffic from Brooklyn to Manhattan. This caused us to have to move our schedule for that first day onto the second day which resulted in an almost 16 hour day. That was extremely brutal for everyone.
3. What really inspire you to create and develop the story based from the Halo Universe?
A. I’ve read a lot of the stories from the books. My opinion was that "Dirt" got us a very human feel from the Halo Universe. It also had a lot of potential to be expanded upon, because it gave us critical moments in the Universe and Gage’s own life during the war, there were a lot of holes that could be filled in. In addition, Gage’s character development is very pronounced and for any story, the main character needs to successfully develop otherwise the story falls flat despite how well it plays out.
4. What are your plans for the future in film making?
A. At the moment, everything is up in the air. Obviously, my goal is to continue with the Halo web series and hopefully continue on to shoot a feature for it. Besides that, I’m currently working on a zombie themed web show that should also premiere sometime next year. It won’t be as epic as Halo, but as with anything involving zombies, it will be fun to watch.
5. The Aliens from what I've seen look very promising so far but whats the most challenging thing about developing the Aliens?
A. With technology today, it’s not hard to make aliens look realistic. The hardest part with any animation of a live character is to make the movements fluid and realistic. A lot of times you will see CG that looks good, but just doesn’t move right, and that really takes an audience out of the movie. We’re spending quite a bit of time making sure that the aliens are exactly what we expect them to be.
6. What was your favourite thing on developing the Aliens?
A. Aliens in the game are a little bit comical in a way. My favorite part of developing the aliens in Halo was to make them a lot darker than they are in the game. These creatures are taking over humanity planet by planet with plasma weapons and what not, they have to at least look intimidating. So I had a bit of fun making them evil and demonic looking, as you can see by the Grunt.
7. Who's the star of you show?
A. Bradley Rose plays Gage Yevgenny at the moment who is the main protagonist in the series. But with any episodic series, there are many strong supporting characters. In our case, we have characters like Mingyu Chu playing Gage’s best friend Mason, and Tyler La Marr playing Teller. There are many other recurring characters as well.
8. Do you plan to go further, do you think on developing more stories based on Halo?
A. Of course! If all is well with Helljumper. I wanted to really expand and work on a "semi-canon" series that is based off a Spartan-III. Think of it as something like Halo meets the Bourne Trilogy since that’s what inspired that storyline.
9. How do you think the fans will react to your series?
A. I honestly wouldn’t be able to predict. Based on all positive reactions to the trailer, and during the pre-screening, we are hoping that people like the series and want to see more, so that we can grab Microsoft’s attention. At the moment, I think we are among few Halo fan films to really hit the market since Neil and Peter Jackson worked together on the Landfall short. So I hope that our exclusivity also helps to push our popularity up.

Halo Battlescape Re-Release for 10th Anniversary Series and for Fall 2011
I was looking through Walmart.ca for some gift idea's for something I'm working on when I passed by this new photo of the Halo Mega Bloks Battlescape set. For some reason the box had changed from the 2010 "Halo (The Authentic Collector's Series" black packaging to the newly updated 2011 "Halo (10th Anniversary Edition)" blue packaging. The Battlescape inside comes with everything that the February 2011 edition.
So I posted it on the Internet to share with the other fans of Halo Mega Bloks on Facebook to get their opinion, they seemed just as curious as I do about the up dative packaging. The next day Brad "Mega Bloks Halo on Facebook's admin" had this to say.....
"Yes, this is the new packaging for Fall 2011. A new "grass" version will be in stores Spring 2012."
so we will see a re-released version of this sometime very soon. I also pointed out that the models on the side right next to the "Set 21" has the game version Mongoose and not the Mega Bloks Version, someone also pointed out the this seems to have 2 more pieces then the previouse model, but other then the box this is the same set as last time re-released. I can't wait to get this, I missed the last one cause I couldn't find it so mabye this one will be easier to find, let us know if you had spotted it
Its set price on Walmart.ca is $42.98
Update: Better Quallity Photo

Halo Mega Bloks #96937 EVA’s Last Stand Review
After a squad gets killed off by a Covenant force, one Spartan escapes the fight after seeing his allies fall. He soon realises he’s being followed by two Hunters, some of the most dangerous Covenant warriors. The EVA Spartan knows he must make his heroic stand and finds a battle damaged Warthog. As the Covenant finally has the upper hand the EVA uses the turret on the Warthog to make his last stand.
EVA’s Last Stand comes with an EVA Spartan with Rifle, 2 fully updated Hunters, and destroyed Warthog. The first Green EVA Spartan comes with new rounded off shoulders, a completely unique chest piece, and the EVA helmet itself. The texture of the Green is much brighter then the classic and common Spartan II figure, the body is fairly accurate with amazing details, and the head looks similar to the Flame Marine but is actually more different once you’ve actually compare the two. With 12 points of articulation alone in this figure and the black rifle that can be used for display, this figure is not bad at all.
If you remember, the Hunters were sort of tricky to collect. They were only in retail in the #96833 Wolverine and #96852 Arctic Wolverine set, both in purple. For around $40 to get just one hunter from those two sets it wasn’t all to easy compared to other sets. Now, it’s much easier to purchase since in this set, it comes with two Hunters, easier price, and their painted and molded to look more like their full game version. With 10 points of articulation, lots of detail, nice shields and Armour, and a newly designed, complex gun for each hunter.
Now the Battle Damaged Warthog. I like how the spread a bunch of random parts on the Landmass to simulate the torn Armour for the battle damage. What’s cool about this is if you collected the Rockethog Vs. Anti Aircraft Gun battle set and take the wheels off the Rockethog, take some of the torn off parts, and you can make a fully functioning Desert Camo Warthog for yourself. Not only that, you can take the Rockethog and place it on the landmass. Spread a few torn parts lying around, and you can make a Battle Damage Rockethog.
The turret is supposed to look similar to the First Warthog Mega Bloks created with the Machine gun mount. Its completely unique and redesigned to look better to simulate its gaming appearance from Halo. It does have two handles and a little circular dish on the bottom to display your EVA Spartan battling it out with the Hunters and making his stand.
Decide for yourself who will win this close battle with the new EVA’s Last Stand. Make your own scenes and play as the Hunters or EVA, or ask friends to play along. Or you can take the battle larger and display it with your Halo and or Mega Bloks collection. Average Price: $30, Set Number: #96937, Building: 1 being the easiest, 10 being hard, 6/10, Parts total: 169, Total Overall: 1 being the worst, 10 being the best, 8/10

Finally, an official product photo of one of the full Covenant Drop Pods sets featuring the Golden Elite Zealot with Needler, Rifle, and Grenade as shown in the picture, as well as the Covenant Drop Pod itself in purple (With details) and a 6x4 plate.
Personally, I loved the ODST ones and have successfully collected them all, now I can't wait to start collecting these. There should be 2-3 Elite Drop Pod coming to shelves soon with a Flood Pod in the first wave. Ultra Elite and Arctic Elite has been mentioned and some what shown up on the Internet, the Zealot with the other Drop Pods have been seen in the instructions sheets from the latest Halo Sets, but not full product view.

I have just spotted the #96967 Assault on High Grounds in my Wal-Mart, Have you found any Versus sets yet?
Today, I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few thing, and during that time I went to the local Wal-Mart at Victoria Langford B.C. and I found something that had surprised me. Either today or yesterday they finally stocked up on the Halo Mega Bloks Versus High Ground Assault for around $60.They have also recently stocked up on the Red Versus Combat Unit and Blue Versus Combat Unit for around $13. I went there a few days ago and they didn't have any of the High Ground Assault's so this is brand new. Now we need your help, please tell us if you have located this set or any other Versus set in your local retail store, tell us how much it was, if you bought it, and/or what you think of it or any Versus set.

Images of Mcfarlane Toys Halo Reach Series Wave 5 and more
Spawn.com has just announced and posted new images on the upcoming Halo Reach figures including Wave 5 Single Pack, Weapons Pack, 2 Packs, and more. You can check them out below and don't forget to stay tuned to Halo Toy Universe on Blogger for more
Carter (unhelmeted)
The Noble Team Spartans of Halo: Reach, unlike Master Chief, are seen both with their helmets and without. This new, alternate version of Noble One brings back Carter with his unhelmeted appearance. Figure includes the new Spartan Laser weapon and a Frag Grenade.
Brute Chieftain
The tribal Jiralhanae troops are led by their Chieftains – towering Brutes, easily recognized by their ornate armor and powerful weaponry. Our second Brute figure from Halo: Reach captures every detail of the new look of this fearsome enemy. Figure includes the new Gravity Hammer weapon and a Plasma Grenade.
Skirmisher Murmillo
The Covenant Skirmisher makes its return in Halo: Reach Series 5, in the upgraded form of the Murmillo rank. Murmillos feature orange armor and a protective facemask, but really stand out on the battlefield due to the small energy shields they wear on each forearm. Figure also includes a Plasma Pistol and a Plasma Grenade.
Elite Ranger
Jetpacks aren't only for multiplayer in Halo: Reach. While the UNSC has ODST Troopers with jetpacks, the Covenant have their own campaign character with aerial ability: the Elite Ranger. The Ranger rank and armor style features white armor with an enclosed helmet, integrated jetpack, and fully-sealed bodysuit for operations in the vacuum of space. Figure includes the all-new Focus Rifle weapon and a Plasma Grenade.
Spartan Gungnir custom (male) (olive/tan)
This heavily customized male Spartan features a top-of-the-line armor selection consisting of only the most expensive items available. From the Gungnir helmet with CBRN/HU/RS attachments to the Assault/Sapper chest with robotic arm, down to the Grenadier knee guards, this soldier spares no expense for protection and style. Figure features olive and tan armor, and includes the new Rocket Launcher weapon and a Frag Grenade.
Halo: Reach Weapons Pack
Need more firepower for your figure collection? Build your Halo armory with this assortment of weapons from Halo: Reach. This pack includes seven different UNSC and Covenant weapons, grenades, and a Spartan Jetpack armor ability as an added bonus.

Spartan Security (male) (team blue/team blue) [Toys "R" Us exclusive]

This abridged set is packaged in a standard blister card and includes a CQB helmet, two UA/Multi-Threat shoulders, and a UA/Multi-Threat chest; a Security helmet and shoulder with a Base Security shoulder and chest; and a Mark V helmet, two Mark V shoulders, and a UA/Counter Assault chest. All armor pieces are in the bright "Team Red" color to match the Spartan Operator Target exclusive Spartan action figure.
Covenant Spec Ops
This follow-up to last series' Spartan Specter 3-pack continues the stealth theme with a pair of Covenant troops from the Special Operations branch.
The Elite Spec Ops figure (introduced in Halo: Reach Series 3), with its dark gray armor, was already hard to see. This new version features the sneaky Sangheili with his active camouflage ability activated, granting him nearly complete invisibility.
His partner, the Grunt Spec Ops, is also designed for stealth and secrecy. This rank features a facemask and goggles, a two-pronged methane tank, and a dark black color scheme. Plus, if you've been collecting Grunts since Halo: Reach Series 1, this figure completes your collection of all five Unggoy ranks.
