I haven't been on the internet toys sites much as of late so I might be a bit slow in mentioning this but I just heard about this:

This is very cool for me. I'm a fan of Call of Duty and I always liked the design of Halo Megablocks. These look even better with articulation in the arms and just a better load when it comes to gear.

Kreo-s just lost their appeal to me. I'm more interested in CoD and trying to customize those.

screw mega bloks, i want a COD 3.34in line! jees, they could do about 30 figures from Modern Warfare alone, without getting into multiple iterations of characters (Crew Expendable Price, Blackout Price, Prisoner #627 Price, Russian Disguise Price, Arctic Camo Price, Ghillie Suit Price, Desert Camo Price, Off-the-grid Price, Juggernaut Suit Price etc.)

it's a cash cow waiting to be milked!!!

I'd like to make a comment about building blocks in general. The blocks themselves actually. They used to make the blocks in a universal way that would leave you room for imagination to build just about anything. Nowadays I'm seeing that blocks are more specifically designed to the set and dictate a specific purpose.

This is true.  Even with my 6 year old - we set aside the sets and the creative building is done with the mixed older sets and new random Lego bricks.

I saw these in Walmart on the weekend. Very fun toys.

To me the purpose and the fun of a building toy like lego or mega-blocks or kree-o is actually building the toy. It looks like you could slap together the light armor vehicle in 6 min. Not a lot of enjoyment for 40$.

It took me more then that to put together the snowmobile set and it kept me company when I was on my own in Florida.

It's not for everyone. I enjoyed them more then the Kreo GI Joe sets I own and the action figures blow away and lego sized brick figure I've ever had the change to handle and that included the excellent Marvel figures that were out a few years ago.

I'd like to buy the chopper strike set and battle dome sets the most but honestly they all look decent to me.

I don't see a lot of resale for these down the road so when I buy these I have no expectations that they will be collectible and gather value in the future. It's just a nice distraction sort of toy and I don't feel the need to own them all.

I have the littlebird chopper and it's pretty cool.
I really like those mini figures.

TRU Cyber Monday deal. BOGO on all Megabloks. That should include the CoD stuff.
