You know, I just got done asking this in the Mega forums but why haven't Mattel/Mega taken the Mighty Minis concept and rolled it into the Mega super articulated figure line? Is there another company currently tying up the brick themed license? I mean there used to be but that's been a decade ago. I don't really care about wrestling but it would be a means to get more female heads maybe. And certainly more male head sculpts. Also, huh, Star Fleet ninjas.
I agree, the extra amount of customization parts from a line like that would be great. But then again, I still think they're missing the boat by not putting out unlicensed civilian figures, like that "beyond" toyfair display from several years ago. Lego does unlicensed blind bag minifigs, so why couldn't mega try something like that? I'd even settle for a mega-pack of 10-20 civilians, just a single SKU. Anything to get more parts out there.
Yep, generic figures would be welcomed. It'd be cool of they copied the Lego blind bag format to the letter. Just made a guy in a banana suit... another in a gorilla suit. Speaking of blind bags. The latest Halo set is a bit underwhelming. The elite is nice but the rest are lacking. Even the marine with the new helmet.
I am trying to figure out where the codes are but haven't had much success. The packaging does have a small hole located above the barcode on the back. It's possible one could move pieces over to that hole to determine what's in the package. There are some oddities in this batch. The first being the ID code apparently not present. The second, the packed in pamphlet is folded up smaller and I have found it to be bagged, nylon tied and just tucked in there in its smaller shape. And, of course, the roughly one mill diameter hole punched into the back of the pouch. That all said, the flood should be easy enough to feel out as they are rubbery little things and five of them per pouch. Just note they are only three packs of the thirty-two total. On a fresh case, they should be on the right, one pack back, directly behind the ship build. The ship build appears to have the front spot on both sides of a new case. I think there are two ship packs per case. I went out driving around today, taking advantage of the more than usual open roads. Picked up three more Skeletors because I cannot have Chaos Muffin thinking he's the only one with an addiction.
Found it, I'm inattentive. Once I have all the codes for each figure, I'll update. 008046HY - Ship build 364945HY - Flood 348944HY - Silver Spartan 009042HY - Elite 009040HY - Green Spartan 008043HY - Grunt 008041HY - Marine 348939HY - Yellow Spartan
