Halo Mega Construx Just Made a FATAL Mistake.

Folks, I believe that a positive mentality towards Mega Construx Halo is the key to the brands longevity... but sometimes a fatal mistake is made that NEEDS to be rectified.

The Domain is back with another Halo Infinite Mega Construx video!
Halo has partnered with Mattel to produce Mega Bloks / Mega Construx toys for over 15 years. This has spanned the release of Halo Wars, Halo Reach and Halo 4-Infinite. With this, they have produced thousands of toys and tens of thousands of pieces.
Mega Brands was formed back in 1967 out of Montreal, Canada. In 2009, they acquired the licence for Halo, originally branded it as "Halo Wars: the Authentic Collectors Series". Soon after, this was dropped to just "Halo Mega Bloks", before its third rebrand into "Halo Mega Construx", a more adult take on the licence. This lasted up until roughly 2021, with a final rebrand into simply "Halo Mega". What comes next for the brand? Only time will tell...
Halo Infinite was delayed from 2020 to 2021. In that time and after it has seen a multitude of issues and delays, but at the heart of this lies a true return to form and a gorgeous campaign. Halo Infinite Season 1 and 2 had a long extended life but Season 3 returned to the original promise of 3 month long seasons. With the return of Forge, Halo Infinite seemed to be in a largely completed form. Season 4 and 5 hit hard, with excellent releases of Firefight KOTH, Infection and dozens of quality of life improvements. Unfortunately, the seasonal format would come to an end with the Spirit of Fire update, dropping the formula all together to be replaced by operations. It's hard to say what the future holds for Halo, but you better believe I'll be along for the ride.

This is just another example in a LONG list of bad Halo news us fans are very much used to by now....from MCX's website closing, to Jazwares' Halo distribution woes and QC issues of both their Spartan Collection and WoH lines, to the butchering of each 343 Halo game release for the past decade and counting, to the disparity in quality between Paramount's Halo show vs Sony's The Last of Us or Bethesda's Amazon Fallout show. The IP has been completely uncared and neglected for for a loooong time now.

I think Mega should send sets to larger LEGO creators like MandRProductions. He did a review of the Ash and Pikachu set, and it seems like he enjoyed the product! LEGO has been pushing Mega out of stores, and a lot of LEGO fans might actually like Mega if they see what it is now. There is a bit of rivalry between the brands, and I believe that they could coexist. Both are good products, and it would be a shame to see Halo Mega fall.

Can we use this moment to discuss how mega construx is treating canada?(And by extension a lot of other countries) I mean halo heroes series 14 was the last series we recieved, and for blind bags it was series 3 infinite. We have gotten nothing from the Halo universe toyline besides the box sets like the wombat. That means the entire hero and Blind bag and heroes collection that Mega construx has been advertising to "expand our army" and that Kevin MCX said was "For the fans" is just straight up not available to us, does that mean we're not considered fans? I mean we're being forced to accept Blind bags and heroes as the only way to obtain those figures, and yet we do not even get those things. I don't know how we are even supposed to get those figures at this rate, i've waited years for things to get better with Mega construx by actively buying their products that we do get and it has done nothing to fix the problem. We didn't get the xbox and I doubt we'll ever see guilty spark, that's how dire it's getting...

Having the archives are so very important. Especially with the fact that we can do pop and swap with these figures. I'm now not gonna want to do pop and swap for fear that if I ever want to put things back to the way they were I won't even have a clue where to start. I've been a collector since the mid-seventies of both toys and comet books. These are the greatest toys I've ever seen and that's why at my age I collect them. But when you collect comic book toys you still always have the comic books for information. The information for these toys are now gone and that is an incredibly sad move. I never bought these toys because I'm a Halo fan I never bought these toys because I'm a Halo fan. I bought them because I was a mega fan of what they did. And now I'm gonna lose all the archives for the toys which was part of the allure in the first place for me. This is a very Bad move have several that mega has made over the last couple of years

The site also helped with knowing which weapons went to who.

I hope mega, or mattel, reverses this decision. This website was such a great source of info for new and old collectors alike, it was really fun to go back and look at product images of some of my first sets and now we can't do that. All it would take is a few hours of work to move the archive over to the new website and it would make so many people happy.
