You think that’s bad? There’s exactly one time I will not go into Toys ‘R’ Us: during Black Friday.
That 20 figure pack? Black Friday exclusive. OMGRAAAAGGEE!
I hope so to keep the toys coming till the show comes out. Hopefully McFarlane gets their head out of their butts and shows some new product or we hear of a company change

NO JUST NO!!! That is the LAST thing I want happening to this line. I really mean that, complete cancellation sounds better.
For starters, a scale change is inevitable. That would be beyond enraging to me. It would completely put my massive collection out of place. I am not talking about the one with the 3 and Reach lines either. I am talking smaller or bigger. Think Hasbro and Neca here because I really do not know of anyone else.
For Hasbro, you are going to get (from what I hear) a trillion repaints. More than McFarlane from the sound of it (again I hear this from other people). Chances are we would get a line consisting of Spartans with out of scale enemies scattered around. We would be getting smaller figures with those stupid goofy rocket launchers with clear bright red missiles.
Neca, while they have amazing detail, have their own problems. At the moment their main concern is worshipping 80`s movies and valve. If they got Halo we would see hardly anything. My best guess is a Chief and Cortana, but they would give us a series every year with just another Chief. We would get a Chief with every weapon in the franchise, but that is it.
If they got Bandai, it would be terrible. A two inch figure would cost 100 -yoinking- dollars! I should know since I have a SMALL collection of S.H. Monsterarts!
Even if the new company kept the scale, price and detail the same, we would have to buy the same figures all over again. That would be there starting line, not just another Chief.
I do share your impatience though, they need to give us something. I do not think they are over yet, look at that statue they are making. It seems they have plenty of resources if they can make those.
I just got the Toy R’ Us’s holiday catalog in the mail today and it said that there will be a buy 1 get 1 40% off deal on all Mega Bloks sets. It will go from November 3 to 23.

> Good points WolfeBoy I’m just a little upset with the lack of toys of late.
Sorry if it seemed like I attacked you. That was not my intention. It is a GREAT fear I do have for the line though. I would be happy if they could do at least three series a year. I think that is a little less than usual but better than nothing. I really do hope that 2014 is better for Halo though. I am not surprised that “2013” has been an unlucky year now that I think about it.

Yay. So they take away the BOGO 40% for one week and then say it’s a “holiday special”.
I’m not exactly pleased with Toys ‘R’ Us right now…
Mega Bloks has just released the first part of their new toymation, that is also being written by 343 Industries, called Trill Squad.
Personal, I like were this series is going. the story seem a little bit more interesting then Squad 45’s. The comedy is still same as Squad 45 and the characters get full lines of dialogue this time around. Over all, good first impressions and I can’t wait to see were they take this new series.

“Oh, my poor Jellyfish!”
Hilarious. Just hilarious. Thanks for posting, s452! ;D

My local comic shop carries the Didact, Chief, CIO, Scout, Elite Ranger and Jackal. I haven’t seen them anywhere else.
I also just got my Scout from Deluca. He’s pretty sweet looking! Now I need a duplicate so I can open the packaging without feeling like a terri-bad collector, and display him on the shelf with my other duplicates…
I kinda wish McFarlane hadn’t canceled Lasky’s figure. That would’ve been cool to have.
Does anybody think they’ll listen if enough people mail in requesting specific characters? Like…Huragok? I’d love some Huragok from McFarlane. With their amazing looking Halo 4 Spartans surely they can find an awesome way to articulate and stand up some Huragok.

Support the local business I suppose. Big name stores can’t get them, but the small brand stores can.
I guess I need to contact some friends of mine. See what they can scare up(after halloween, scaring. Actually, that’s a terrible joke.)
Sadly, I can’t seem to access SpartanBloks anymore, so you can’t rely on me to fetch information from there for the duration of the crisis. Sorry about that.
> Well. There are two sets that have been revealed for Spring 2014. All I can say is…I think this is heaven. OR I died…OR both…

I think my jaw has dropped. Love that new marine in the new UNSC weapons pack and to see that weapon skins are coming to the line. A nice change from the old print detail or all in one color weapons from past sets.
That Spartan IV battle pack is pretty cool as well with The new imperial grunt finally being add to the line and is a cheaper way of getting the Halo 4 scout and recruit figures into someone’s collection.
Also has anyone else noticed the new cyclops and Halo 4 ghost sets on the back of the boxes?
