    Blues are Walmart exclusive (Mark VI and CQB)
    Whites are Specialty exclusive (Mark VI)
    Reds are non-exclusive (Mark VI and EVA)
    Steels are Gamestop exclusive (CQB)
    Active camoflauge are Spawn Store exclusive (EVA).
    My local comic shop has three cases coming in, hopefully I'll be able to get both red spartans (only seen Mark VI at Walmart) and grunts from that variety (can only find green grunt at Walmart), I'll just pick everything else up from their exclusive vendors if need be...'cept the A.C. EVA...that'll take me to the dreaded depths of Ebay...

    Yeah, I saw an entire endcap of these at WM when I was looking for 25th Joes. They were retailing for about $10 IIRC...

    Picked up Chief yesterday at Wal Mart as well. Haven't had a chance to open him up yet. He looks pretty nice.

    I thought the Grunts came in a two pack?

    Anyone catch Cortana, yet?

    Darn, didn't know the blue ones were exclusive. I actually saw a mid-aisle display for these (bumping Deluxe TFs off, in fact) last weekend and I presume most of the first wave was actually there. I'll have to correct that mistake when I also hunt down the Cybertron repaints THIS Saturday!

    Nope, grunts are packed individually, and have two color variations. Don't know if one is rarer or they're in equal quantity.

    Hmm, I'm not a Halo fan myself, but I do like the look of that Master Chief figure. I might have to keep an eye out for these if I have the money and they make it to Australia.

    Does anyone know if they'll be releasing a scale Warthog, Hornet or Pelican to go along with these figs?

    Spawn Store: http://store.spawn.com/

    Simple enough concept. :p  There was a pre-order for the active camo exclusive that ended last year, and it goes up for sale (and pre-orders ship) in May. Standard Halo stuff is available in March.

    So far, there's three-inch scale partially diecast vehicles planned, but no full-size ones.

    (This thread is so Kirby-rific.)

    Nothing in scale just small die cast vehicles so far.

    What was the price at Walmart? I saw them at Gamestop but wasn't going to spend the $12.99 for the size (and no Master Chief just Red and White Spartans).

    They had like 5 blue ones at the walmart I went to and a handful of the Brutes. I opened both of mine, the master chief and blue spartan soldier. Ill have to check gamestop. In the box, comes a booklet that shows the other figures and vehicles.
