Finally, we come to the last of the new Halo Mega Bloks vehicle sets unveiled at the 2013 Toy Fair (but don’t worry, there are plenty of Combat Units and Ammo Packs left to discuss still): the new UNSC Gauss … Continue Reading →
The UNSC Hornet 96806 was one of the very first vehicles released in the Halo Mega Bloks line back in 2009. To say that I dislike those early sets would be an understatement–I found the construction to be flimsy and … Continue Reading →
MEGA Brands continues to expand deeper and deeper into the Halo Universe, and at the New York Toy Fair 2013 this week, they showed one of their most ambitious and innovative forays into Halo Mega Bloks yet: a Halo Mega … Continue Reading →
