Action-figures.com was able to get a first look at the new Halo Wars Mega Bloks at the U.K. ToyFair. We reported on these about a week ago and I showed my displeasure for Microsoft going a tad overboard on the marketing of Halo. Remember?
My first thought after looking at the photos was that I wish these were Legos instead of Mega Bloks. The warthog kind of looks like an army van, doesn’t it? I would have enjoyed something more like the Lego Star Wars series. Big figures with small technical pieces that allow a more realistic re-creation. What do you folks think?
More photos with giant watermarks are located at action-figures.com. Halo Wars branded Mega Bloks will be in stores this summer.
Halo action figure fans may commence the redemption process. McFarlane’s Halo Points program has officially gone live after months of waiting. The process is simple, just fill out the PDF located at their website and mail the completed form along with your points to the address listed on the page. In 6-8 weeks you should receive your hard earned free product of choice.
For those of you that aren’t aware of the program and how it works, allow me to explain. On the back of all Halo action figure packages that are created by McFarlane Toys, there is a barcode with a set number of points allocated to it. The more rare and expensive figures are given a greater number of points. You may collect these points and redeem them for various items such as a lithograph or even a gold Master Chief figure.
What are you waiting for? Start filling out that form and get it in the mail immediately!

Any fan of Bioshock who is also a fan of game related toys, i.e. MATT BANKS, needs to pick one of these up. A totally authentic and super creepy representation of the little girls from Bioshock you are supposed to save, err harvest. 10 bucks is not bad at all. Here is the link to the official store.
Remember the sweet Master Chief helmet you got for $129.99 that you couldn’t wear or interact with at all? The same one that was going for 60 bucks a few months later? Gears of War 2 is giving you an actual Lancer, thats the chainsaw gun for you noobs, that has a pullable trigger and real chainsaw sounds. They say life-size, but it’s probably much smaller than an actual gun. It seems that if they want people to shed more than twice the price for some extra content, they need to give them cool toys. I would have bought a Halo 3 Legendary if I got a Battle rifle or a life-sized Cortana blow up doll. The Gears 2 bundle goes for $139.99
I have been looking across the internets for a way to expand my Halo related interests. After reading all the books, twice, and getting almost all of the non-cheating achievements, I have taken up the latest craze: Halo ActionClix. This is a table top Halo game that is like Battlemechs, but with characters from the Haloverse. The game is a blast and the rules easy to follow, but the figures are not exactly easy to find. That’s when I stumbled into Installation 05.
Based on the Halo ring that Master Chief crash landed on in Halo 1, this site has anything and everything you would want in Halo toys. Besides the ActionClix, they now have the Limited Edition Series 2 Halo 3 figures from McFarlane. They look bad ass. I bought 3 boosters packs of ActionClix on Tuesday and they already showed up. Definitely check this site out and see what they have to offer. I talked to the admin over there and he was cool as shit. They frequently run contests and we will bring you word when they do. Also, let me know if any of you get into ActionClix for Halo. A challenge may ensue at a bar in NYC soon.
Let’s face it, Lego’s are all the rage these days. From video games using them to toys about video game characters, everybody wants some Lego Lovin.
Marcus Fenix, the ever popular main character from Gears of War, has now been immortalized in Lego glory. The guys over at Brickshelf put this together for everyone’s enjoyment. Check their site for more pictures.
I want instructions, because I need one of these. I’m a huge fan of gaming relating toys to fill my desk.
In the red corner, we have the Lost Planet VS Suit, packing some mean fire power. In the blue corner, we have the Big Daddy, hulking and mean. Tonight’s referee is Dwight K. Schrute.
I’m putting my money on the guy in the VS Suit. Surely the Big Daddy would have to die with the dual wielding weaponry being fired at it. Who do you think would win? And no, Dwight cannot win. Let us know in the comments.
