Mega Bloks Halo Wars 2 UNSC Jackrabbit Blitz Review

2016 Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Jackrabbit Blitz Photos

I didn’t do much (okay, any) Halo Mega Bloks New York Toy Fair 2016 coverage, because I was hugely disappointed by nothing that hadn’t been previously shown being on display at the actual event. But while the 2016 Toy Fair was a bummer, getting never-before-seen Summer 2016 Halo Mega Bloks sets out of nowhere definitely made up for the disappointment! And the first set I’m going to review corresponds to my inevitable favorite game of 2016: the Mega Bloks Halo Wars 2 UNSC Jackrabbit Blitz set!

Halo Mega Bloks Mongoose & Emile Review & Photos

Halo Mega Bloks Emile Riding Halo Reach Mongoose

Considering all of the top-tier characters and vehicles being released in the Summer/Fall 2014 Halo Mega Bloks sets, it might surprise some people to hear that one of the hottest and hardest-to-find sets at retail is also among the smallest and cheapest. I finally ordered the Halo Mega Bloks UNSC All-Terrain Mongoose 97339 set online after missing it in stores for weeks. Of course, the biggest selling-point of this set isn’t the Mongoose–we’ve got loads of those. No, this set is hot because it comes with the first-ever Mega Bloks Halo Emile figure! Does Emile make it worth buying yet another Mega Bloks Mongoose?

Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Wombat Review 97451

Halo 3: ODST is easily my favorite of the first-person shooter Halo video games, and the only one that I still play through regularly today. That’s why I’m doubly ashamed that when I walked into the MEGA Brands booth at the New York Toy Fair 2014 and saw the Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Wombat on display, I had no idea what it was. Yes, I know what the Halo Wombat looks like, but I just never imagined MEGA Brands would make a toy of it. Six months later, I ordered the Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Wombat Recon Droid 97451 set online for $10 and now it’s on my shelf. What do I think of the Mega Bloks Halo UNSC Wombat with The Rookie figure?

Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Flame Warthog Review & Photos

Halo Mega Bloks Fall 2014 Flame Warthog Set

The Halo Flame Warthog skin was a DLC bonus only available to Halo fans who pre-ordered the Halo Wars video game way back in 2009. Half a decade later, the Flame Warthog DLC codes are extremely scarce and regularly sell for $30+ on the aftermarket. But as cool as the in-game Halo Wars Flame Warthog is, thanks to MEGA Brands, now you can own something even better for less than the cost of the Flame Warthog DLC code: the Summer/Fall 2014 Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Flame Warthog 97449!

Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Night Ops Gausshog Review 97134

Posted on by

Of the four electronic lights and sounds Halo Mega Bloks sets that MEGA Brands unveiled at the 2013 New York Toy Fair, the 97134 Halo Mega Bloks UNSC Night Ops Gausshog was easily the one I was least interested in. Compared to the Mega Bloks Halo Wars vehicles sets (UNSC Cobra, UNSC Hornet and Covenant Vampire) and a new UNSC Pelican, a new Halo 4 Mega Bloks Warthog didn’t seem all that compelling. Well, I received my Night Ops Gausshog Mega Bloks set from BA Toys last week, and not only do I find the completed set compelling, but I can give it a wholehearted recommendation…

Halo Mega Bloks Brute Battle Unit 97085 Review w/ Spartan Security

Halo Mega Bloks Halo 3 Security Spartan Green Figure with Grenade Launcher

I really, truly intended for the Halo Mega Bloks Brute Battle Unit 97085 to be the first of the Summer/Fall 2013 Halo Mega Bloks sets that I reviewed, but one after the next, newer and more captivating sets started being released. Now, almost two months after receiving it, I’m stepping back to give the Mega Bloks Halo Brute Battle Unit the review spotlight it so richly deserves…

Mega Bloks Halo Legends Booster Frame Vehicle Review

Halo Mega Bloks Booster Frame Vehicle Set Review Summer 2013

I was pretty hard on the Halo Mega Bloks C&C Console, Forerunner Terminal and UNSC Hangar Bay in my recent streak of Halo Mega Bloks reviews. Of course, those reviews didn’t give a full perspective on the value of any of those three sets, as that trio of Halo Mega Bloks sets has a secondary (or honestly–primary) purpose: to combine to form the Halo Mega Bloks Booster Frame vehicle from “Halo Legends”. You’ve been patient, Halo fans, and now it’s time answer the age-old question of “Is the whole Halo Mega Bloks Booster Frame” better than the sum of its individual Mega Bloks components?”
