Mystery Packs Series 6 Revealled

Well if you haven't been collecting Series 5, hurry up before stores stock up on Series 6. Finally a look at Series 6 mini-figures, interesting enough, there's some brand new molds not released in previous Mystery Waves and one that exactly represents a Series 5.

The list as follows
Common: Covenant Copper Grunt
Common: Covenant Jackal
Rare: Covenant Cyan Combat Elite
Common: UNSC Cobalt EVA Spartan
Common: UNSC Desert Camo Marine
Common: UNSC Purple EOD Spartan
Rare: UNSC Yellow Mark 5[B] Spartan
Ultra Rare: UNSC Red Grenadier Spartan

Interesting enough, the Mark 5[B] Spartan is almost the exact same figure as my first Mcfarlane figure, even includes a Shot Gun but in any case I'll try and collect them

A brand new never before seen Spring 2013 sets has just been revealed on the Mega Bloks Blog called the UNSC Mantis. The 443 piece set includes a UNSC Mantis, Station, one weapon, and a brand new Spartan Warrior based on the Halo 4 design.

"The Mantis is a fully articulated battle mech with an insane amount of firepower — a machine gun and 5-tube missile launcher, to be exact. It is piloted by this stealth-armor equipped Warrior Spartan, a totally new addition to the line." 

So what do you think, will you be buying this set, I know I will

ToysRUs's in Canada are having a sale on certain Mega Bloks Halo toys. 2 for $40 on all $24.99 sets which includes the EVA's Last Stand. Again this sale is on all $24.99 Mega Bloks Halo toys, so the sale is most likely not only available for the EVA's Last Stand

MEGA BLOKS: Halo #97018 Forward on to Dawn (The Infinity) set revealed

As soon as I saw this on the Mega Bloks Halo Facebook Wall thanks to Will Bailey, (As well as TradeDemon from SpartanBloks.com) my jaw completely fell to the ground. The first little photo of a (possibly) upcoming set from Mega Bloks and Halo called: Forward on to Dawn 

The set looks as if it's gonna be huge just by the box, it will most likely be very costly. That is if it hits retail. We don't know when the set may release if it even does so. W don't know if the set will even include mini-figurines. All that's shown is a photo of the concept fully built, it's rated for ages 8 and up, the set name, and what seems to be a disconection gimmick (This could be to interact with mini-figures like some of the larger Lego Star Wars sets) 

I can't wait to hear if this set will go further in the production of Mega Bloks Halo. If you want this, save up your money 

Update: It's vehicle is actually called "The Infinity" (At least from fans opinions, it looks more like the Infinity more then anything) they could be planning both the Infinity and the Forward on to Dawn set, or the original set was the Forward on to Dawn but changed in production 

Update 2: The set will come with mini-figures and is set for a release date around November 2012

BAToys4BABoys reveals full box art for 97017 Countdown (UNSC Sabre with Gantry)

Thanks to BAToys4BABoys.com, we finally get to see the final version of the box art for the renamed set "Countdown" which was once called the UNSC Sabre with Gantry. The set includes 6 figures, the UNSC Sabre, and the Gantry Landing Pad all at a price ranged of around $100. The Sabre was the set chosen from the 2011 Halofest for which one set will be released, it was chosen over the Forerunner Structure and the Covenant Spirit Dropship. Enjoy 

Again, the set includes 2 UNSC (Troopers) Marines, a Mark V(b) Spartan, a UNSC Sergeant, a UNSC Technician, and a new coloured UNSC Grenadier Spartan which totals to 6 figures. It also includes the Armory System which means you can convert a figure to another, currently the secondary armor is unknown. My overall view, although I usually go after the largest Covenant Sets for my armies this is actually number 1 on my list, wish me luck and good luck to you if you so choose to one day get it
