Halo Toy News

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!

If you’re like me, at this point you are absolutely starving for new Halo Mega Bloks sets. I already had and built all of the early 2013 Halo Mega Bloks sets by mid-January of this year. It’s been five months with nary a new set to build, and it has been one grueling wait for fresh Halo construction sets. But that wait is now coming to a merciful end. Drop to your knees and thank the Forerunners–the first wave of 2013 Halo Mega Bloks Summer sets has arrived in the United States at BA Toys, and is shipping out this weekend!

Over the past week I’ve had the opportunity to talk about some sensational upcoming Halo Mega Bloks exclusive sets, from the gigantically amazing Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Mammoth to the slick black recolor of the Mega Bloks Halo Covert Ops UNSC Falcon to the way cool glow-in-the-dark Last Man Standing Zombie Pack. But sometimes it’s my duty to talk about Halo Mega Bloks sets that aren’t exactly the best. Such is the case with today’s topic: the upcoming Target exclusive Halo Mega Bloks Blue Warthog and Blue Banshee sets…

Following the Great Halo Mega Bloks Information Drought of 2013, the floodgates have opened and the tsunami of Halo Mega Bloks news is rampaging in! We learned about the Toys R Us exclusive Halo Mega Bloks Flood Hunters Battle Unit 97160 last week, and now we know the two 2013 Halo Mega Bloks summer sets that will be joining it as exclusives. One is a past release, but the other is a new variant of an extremely popular discontinued set–it’s the Halo Mega Bloks Covert Ops Falcon 97173!

Did you ever find out that someone you love was hiding something earth-shatteringly huge from you? That’s how I feel right now, as MEGA Brands has somehow managed to pull the wool over the Halo Mega Bloks collecting community’s eyes, leaving us completely unaware of what is perhaps the most exciting Halo Mega Bloks set ever released. Currently posted up on ebay is our first glimpse of the 2013 Halo Mega Bloks Signature Series UNSC Mammoth 97174 set!

They say that “one good zombie deserves another” (wait, no–they don’t), and that’s just what we have revealed for Halo Mega Bloks today–another Zombie-themed Halo Mega Bloks exclusive set! Whereas earlier I talked about the brand-new Halo Mega Bloks Last Man Standing Zombie Pack 91799–which was based around a Halo multiplayer “Infection” theme–this time it’s all about the Campaign mode and more traditional zombies. It’s the Halo Mega Bloks Flood Hunters Battle Unit 97160, featuring an all-new Halo Mega Bloks Flood figure!

Ever since a teaser photo leaked to the Internet at the end of May, I’ve been flooded (so to speak) with requests from Halo collectors wanting to know more about the Halo Mega Bloks Last Man Standing Zombie Pack. I’ve been holding off on posting news about the set until we had official confirmation of it–and that time is now! A Chinese online retailer has sent out a photo of the Mega Bloks Halo Last Man Standing Zombie Pack 97199 to reader Vanocean, and now (almost) all of our questions about the set have definitive answers…

The lineup for the Halo Mega Bloks Series 7 Mystery Pack Blind Bags figures isn’t exactly a closely-guarded secret. We already knew that the series would have a record twenty figures in it before the series was revealed at all, and after photos were taken at the New York Toy Fair 2013 in February, we knew all twenty figures making up the set. Now we know even more about the Mega Bloks Halo Series 7 figures, including the exact identities of the rare and ultra rare figures in the set…

It’s been a long (long) time coming, but by the grace of the almighty, we finally have some new 2013 Halo Mega Bloks news to report! As I mentioned back in February after the New York Toy Fair 2013, all of the mass release Halo Mega Bloks summer sets for 2013 were revealed at that show, but we wouldn’t know about retail store exclusives until they began to appear in stores. Well, that time is finally upon us, and the first Mega Bloks Halo exclusive set of the year stands revealed–it’s the Halo Mega Bloks Red Spade 97158, a Walmart exclusive!

Halo Mega Bloks fans can finally breathe in a long sign of release, because the great Mega Bloks Halo drought of 2013 has come to an end at last! Though the Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Cyclops sets started to appear in Asia around the start of the year and continued to spread internationally in March, collectors in the United States have been waiting what seems like eternity to get their shot at the first two Halo Mega Bloks Cyclops sets. Well, the wait is over, and that time is now. Tonight I was able to locate and photograph both of the initial Halo Cyclops Mega Bloks sets at my local Toys R Us…

Well, I never thought it would come to this, but such is life: the biggest Halo toy news of the week (and quite possibly the whole month) is a photo. No, it’s not a photo of some super surprise Halo action figure or product. It’s not even a photo of a never-before-seen item. But what the photo is is the first time MEGA Brands has been ready to unveil its whole 2013 Halo Mega Bloks summer lineup to the general public! It’s the official Halo Mega Bloks Summer 2013 Sets poster!
