WHOOPS.
How I mixed up those two companies I’ll never know. Thanks for correcting me. And that bad news is indeed bad news. I was looking forward to seeing her. :[ The Chief statue doesn’t interest me as much to speak honestly, can’t put my finger on why…

Thanks for clarifying, Hypertrooper. I, myself, did not know, so having you answer Keturah’s question is great!
@Keturah: Don’t worry about it. They both make high-end collectibles for Halo. I probably would’ve made the same mistake. I think the Chief is less interesting because he’s not that, well, colorful. At least, that’s what I think.
Normally, a visit to Halo Toy News brings joy to those who read his posts, but that, unfortunately, is not the case this time. Play Arts Kai did NOT show any new figures for their Halo line, and as such may not be bringing anything new to the table this year. Read more here. D:
Well, thankfully there’s some good news concerning Halo toys. A new review of the Attack Cyclops has been posted over on Halo Toy News. The writer liked it so much that he gave it an A+, the highest rating in his system. Check it out here: Attack Cyclops Review, courtesy of Halo Toy News.
Does anyone know when all the new sets are arriving in the UK? I’ve looked everywhere for them. I remember seeing a single new set in one shop, but that’s it.

They are starting to arrive now. Confirmed sightings are Series 7 in Tesco, as well as the new Battle Units. I suggest asking an employee if they have the sets in the back room.
@deluca34: It wouldn’t let me quote your post, so I’ll write a response here. McFarlane figures are always fun to collect, but they just aren’t as popular…or made as much…as they have been in previous years.

Thanks. I saw that new bike set that comes with the C.I.O Spartan at Tesco, but I didn’t see any of the new mini figs. Guess I just got to wait…

Wait…what!!! You found the Siege Bike in the U.K??? Time to tell Spartan Bloks! Thanks for the info. ;D
EDIT: Just as I post this, a new thread is made over here. It seems you can rejoice.
Despite not being interested in Megabloks very much, I find myself fascinated with that Jackal and how detailed and amazing it looks in those photos. He wasn’t joking when he said it was an attractive and exciting new mold to get, it looks amazing.

Haha…these figures are DEFINITELY detailed…extremely so, in fact. I should know…I have over 200 of them.

> Agreed.

> Really proud moment!
OK, I’ve updated my sets list and my figures list with images. I have also added another list to the repertoir. It contains images of the Halo Universe sets. Individual figure pics coming soon. ;D

OK, diecast stuff has images now. I’m gonna take a break. This is not easy work.
The one they mentioned /ages/ ago…someday I hope.
