    i so wish they would...i know they're getting into the world of those ugly pop things but i'd love to get figures based on 40k. the models are too expensive.

    they don't even do replica weapons and barely statues. it's amazing how little they have outside of the models

    Well remember when Hasbro tried to open up licenses for fan made 3d printed stuff? And rule number one was nothing that transforms will ever be approved? A similar thing here. Technically Lego and Mega make models that are construction brick rather than sprue parts based. So if Games workshop licensed 40K or AOS to Mega, Lego, or even McFarlands brick stuff they'd be cutting into their own primary market.

    As for the prices think of it like this. Games workshop keeps the same kits on sale for years on end. Literally decades in some cases, so their production runs are small and erratic. Which means they cost more to produce. They also have more parts than what Mega does for most Halo sets. I got a Dark Eldar boss set and they give you multiple arms/legs/heads/pauldrons to build say 5 finished guys. Mega sells you 4 (now was 5 or 6 once) figures, that can built 1 way not 3, for a little less than $20 (for me) with terrain pieces.

    Also you want expensive, go look at Forgeworld (another modeling division of Games workshop) $565 for a platoon of Deathkorpsmen.

    Bought Omanyte. Got 5 out of the 6 correct helix shell pieces.
    Had to request the 6th one from Mega Contrux. Bummer.

    Yes but I warn you that the hose running from the mask to the tank on his chest is rigid and bulky. This hinders both his head movement and his arm posing.

    It's also not formed to curves. It's just a straight length initially. You'll have to work it into shape.

    After I looked up the character I wish he had his burninator.

    I still haven't seen them in my area yet.

    I know nothing of the burninator. I will have to research. I'm using them as Elite Vipers.

    I really like it as a follow up to Volcano Rivals. Cool to complete some of the evolution lines.

    (Still need series 9 balls too ugh...)
