The Target-exclusive (for the US, at least) Collector's Edition Pack (not to be confused with an even bigger Collector's Edition pack of Halo Micro Action Figures floating around out there) breathes new life into some Spartan molds we haven't seen in force since the 10 Years imprint, and further pits them against Covenant representatives from the (also Target-exclusive) Blue Team imprint for Fall 2013.
Gold Team fields a variety of older MJOLNIR variants - the Mark V, Hazop, and Grenadier, along with an Active Camo Air Assault Spartan, with enough weapons between them (Battle Rifle, Assault Rifle, Grenade Launcher, Active Camo Suppressed SMG) to get in the thick of battle against engaging Covenant forces. Blue Team sends a Grunt and two Elite Commandos into the fray, led by a gray Elite General - this winds up being one sticking point to the set; the General is cast in a flat, concrete-like gray compared to the silver tint in the stock photos. On the upside, his Plasma Sword glints a dangerous pink that will tug at the heartstrings of any mecha anime fan, and the other Covenant materiel (Plasma Rifle, Focus Rifle, Plasma Launcher) is all cast in the new-school Covenant metallic purple. Stands for all 8 figures are also included, as has become tradition for "Blockless" sets like this and the Last Man Standing pack.
At a paltry $20, the Collector's Edition Pack is a great upscale holiday stocking stuffer for the introductory (or veteran!) Mega Bloks Halo builder.
