Mega Bloks Halo Series 7 blind pack.

I'm a pretty big Halo fan. At least the video game. As far as building sets and Mega Blok Micro Figures not so much. I did pick up a bunch of Series 3 right after Christmas last year for super cheap, but for the most part they just don't appeal to me. But I was walking through the toy aisle and couldn't resist picking up a blind pack from the latest series.

I was pretty happy to pull out one of the rare figures. The UNSC Spartan Mark V with plasma rifle. 

And while I'm not big on the Halo figures I did really like the Mega Blok Marvel figures they put out a few years ago. Mainly because of the twelve points of articulation and that the figures are so well done and life like. Plus the detailing is pretty spot on.

Over all this isn't a set I would try to hard to put together, but I wouldn't say I'd never pick up another blind pack.

TMNT -79100 - Kraang Lab Escape

The first and so far only box set I've bought of TMNT. While I would love all the turtles and maybe Shredder and Splinter, I'm just not that keen on the rest of the sets or the price points. Plus there's no Casey Jones to be found yet.  Hopefully in the next season of Nick's TMNT he'll be there and in the next round of TMNT sets released.  Anyways. This is a great little set because you get 3 mini's. Yes I count Kraang as a mini.

Michelangelo comes with his signature nunchucks and a pizza.

By pressing the side lever you can make him escape.

Inside Kraang is a pink head. It's blank.

It would have been neat if the shell had a place to put the nunchucks for storage.

And of course you get a Foot Ninja. I do believe every set comes with a least one. There are a few variations and weapons differ per set.

30167 - Iron Man vs Fighting Drone poly bag

I'm a huge Iron Man fan.  This goes way back to my when I was a kid rummaging through the quarter box for comics. And that love of "Shellhead" translates over to Lego as well.  With this set I've acquired my third Lego Iron Man armor. I think the only one I still need is the Mark 42.

I ended up picking this guy up from TRU as well.  I just happened in on a BOGO 40% off day, so I got this set and another poly bag.

The saw blade wings on the drone are pretty detailed.

Here's the missle on the bottom.

I do think the flip up face plate is pretty neat. I've heard other's complain that the head looks too big for the body, but I really don't mind.  He also comes with an alternate face to choose from.

Minifigure Spotlight Series 11 - The Elf

Continuing our spotlight on Series 11 Lego Minifigures.

Series 11 has lots of Christmas or wintery themed minifigures in this set. Here we have the Christmas elf. Probably the easiest mini to feel for in the set.  The 4x4 block and topper and teddy bear, along with the eared hat, make it very hard to miss.

30166 - DC Super Heroes Robin and Red Bird Cycle Poly bag

A little polybag madness here at World Headquarters for the Minifigure Collector.  I've been over to the local Toys R Us to see if they had any of the Bricktober mini packs.  All the signage was up, but no packs were to be found.  I have a rant about TRU, but I'll save that for another time.  Anyways I was able to find a few poly bags with some cool mini's.  The first is this kick ass Robin and Red Bird Cycle set.

The Robin minifigure looks identical to the one you get in sets 6860 - The Bat Cave and 6857 - Dynamic Duo Fun House Escape and the similar to the 10937 Arkham Asylum Robin only with out the hood.

Here's what the back look likes without the cape.

Robin also has two faces here's his other one.
