I picked up the mongoose and single pack red spartan a couple of days ago. I like them. They make good soldiers to fight TFs and come with cool weapons.
im still tryin to find the blind figures. I found while lookin through a PA Walmart but they were all sold out
I saw some at TRU the other week, try seeing if they have them there. I will warn you though, they seem to disappear pretty quickly.
Man how did you get those so cheap? I just bought 2 more close quarters for the Magnums from TRU during their bogo50% off sale.
I found the singles in Rome GA WM, the one by the Sams. I got 1 purple elite, 3 green ones, 1 yellow flame marine, 1 Pilot. I sold them all except the flame marine and pilot, wanted a clear one, had to buy him off e-bay, got him for only about $9.50 which isn't bad considering the gas and time it takes to even find the single packs. On a trip recently only 1 out of 4 WM had them.
I picked up a Target exclusive $5 weapons pack with a red Spartan. It came with 4 weapons (rocket launcher, assault rifle, shotgun, and SMG), a turret, and a weapons rack. I think there was also one with a red Brute that was similar but with plasma weapons. Don't know if this is new or old, I hadn't seen it before.
They're part of the newer waves, at least - mentioned in passing upthread somewhere. Neat to get painted weapons, but dang, I've got a lot of SMGs now.
I got the Red Spartan, except at Wal-mart. They also had others and the red Brute. Maybe Zellers didn't want them? Didn't get a good look at the Brute but I like the Spartan's painted weapons.
Interesting, the armory packs I saw were stickered as Target exclusives. The brute's got a mini-plasma turret, two plasma pistols, beam rifle and brute bladerifle.
Probably the Brute shot, or at least I think I remember seeing a Brute shot in that pack (got a quick glance at the Halo Mega Bloks while at Target yesterday). Anybody know if they blind packs are available at Target? I don't recall seeing any, but I didn't stay in that section all that long, and I didn't think to look for them (had the Reach action figures on my mind).
I found the blind packs at walmart today. After opening 6 packs I got the "active camo" spartan that I wanted. Wish i had more though.
i have about 16 spartans, the red warthog, 2 green warthogs, 2 scorpions, the grey hornet, red hornet, hawk, green wolverine, dozen or so elites, one red habihosawhatsit, a mongoose, and some unsc marines. really thinking about grabbing the pelican and shortsword.
Has anyone else tried "feeling up" the blind packs to not get duplicates ? I did it today, got a Hayabusa (the one I wanted the most next to the Camo one) and Flame Marine, not bad. I guess it's kinda cheating, but whatever .
