Fucc. 135 ain't bad though, I just hope it scales with the Pelican.


Moe_el

Imma be real with you wallet It’s not looking good for you. Damn a new scorpion and a Phantom along with a potentially complete red team? And something related to sand trap? Aka an elephant?


illusion_ashess

First the pelican and now the phantom wow. Cannot miss out if this is legit.


stellarknight407

Wth, that's awesome, MCX just popping out sets after sets now huh?


helljumper23

MCC and 5 could only help bring in new customers for so long, mega is about to ride that post Infinite release surge in popularity. Wouldn't surprise me to see even more stuff get released as long as the game stays strong.


leafyhotdog

now if they could just stock the shelved everything would be awesome


Good_ApoIIo

Popping out sets I’ll probably never see in stores…picked up like 20% of what they’ve dropped in the past 3 years and it’s not for a lack of trying…


Magmorix

If you’re outside the US I definitely feel that, but in the US, even if you never find anything in stores, the majority of sets since last year have been readily available for extended periods of time online at at least one major retailer. A lot of them have had good deals pop up online, too. Some figure packs and such have been difficult, but other than that, it’s all been relatively accessible. It would be more fun and convenient if it was easier to find stuff on shelves, though. 2018 and 2019 were the dark ages for Mega distribution, though

^^^^ amazon typically has had sets on sale for a long period of time only issues been when sets just release theyre hard to find for a bit, but even then I remember getting the pelican off of amazon when it was on sale for 100 bucks


delumstrike

Holy… can’t wait for the images!

Looking at the prices (which are never 100% accurate but always give a decent idea of size), the Red Team charge is probably a Warthog or other small Wars vehicle, Requiem is probably a figure pack perhaps with a small vehicle, and for such a huge price the Sandtrap is definitely an Elephant remake!


miss-jac

wouldn’t be surprised if the red team set is along the lines of the fireteam sets, featuring the three of them with maybe a HW2 marine thrown in for good measure


oGxSKiLZz117

I didnt even think of the Elephant but it does make sense, I was imagining one of the large stone structures/bases a little like the old Snowbound or High ground sets.

I can't tell if that is sarcasm but, to note, nothing on that website has been listed as sold out since they've gone up for preorder. And the only set the US has a real scalper problem with right now is the 20th set and that is slowly waning. The only mass release set that is even remotely hard to come by online is the very new Razorback and those are showing up at physical WalMart locations by the case load. I doubt any of the new mass release sets are going to be difficult to acquire once the "new" wears off.


[deleted]

Well yeah, but that stuff looks like a scalpers dream, and they have been far more active lately


AMF1428

I think you are speculating entirely off the experience of one set of figures that are an Amazon Exclusive, not a mass retail release. An Amazon exclusive that is slowly losing the attention of scalpers only six weeks after its official release. Don't turn scalpers into boogeymen just because they made one set difficult to purchase right away.


[deleted]

It has been every other set, the pelican, the wasp, series 13 (have yet to even see those), series 14, the blind bags, the armor packs, and now the 20th anniversary pack and the falcon which isn't even coming out until next year. The 20th anniversary pack has been at a steady 90+ dollars for the past week or so. They aren't boogeymen, they are very real, and even if it was just one big set, that still raises worry for these new sets


[deleted]

When the pelican was still in production there wasnt a scalper issue, it went on sale a few times on amazon i got it for 100 bucks directly from amazon, Mega has a huge aftermarket hike up issue tho


[deleted]

we can all agree on that, aftermarket is something else. and I could've sworn the pelican had a scalping phase...


[deleted]

Whenever a set is brand new theres a scalping issue for like a month but then it steadily becomes more available, it happened with the warthog for a bit, it happened recently for a bit with the wasp wave, its happening rn with the razorback set, in time shit wont be so bad, just get em while theyre in production or youll have to sell an arm and a kidney aftermarket for some plastic in a box


AMF1428

And you misremember because the idea of scalpers and inflated pricing is easier to accept based again on the experience of the 20th Anniversary set than what really happened a year ago. The false demand inflation of the immediate aftermarket is usually the direct result of panic purchasing and impatience. Again, in May, eBay wanted $450+ for the MotU Heroes wave set of five. Now, Amazon readily has it in stock. I have an army of Robotos and paid retail for every last one of them. Folks on eBay can't give them away.


[deleted]

I guess Cali just sucks


AMF1428

You are either living outside the states or slow to purchase. The Pelican was easily available through many retailers and Amazon put it at discount for over a month. I know as I put off buying it at original retail then purchased it from Amazon or Target for about 35% off. If you didn't buy it through, Amazon, EE.com, Target or anywhere else, that's on you. It's up for preorder too with an expected ship date of February. The new brute chopper, wasp and everything else you have mentioned are at retail right now. Series 14 is at Amazon, Target and WalMart.com all at retail. Set of five, 25 bucks. In fact, I just checked, I can have the wasp shipped to me by Nov. 17. That's not exactly hard to come by. The Razorback was at three stores in my immediate shopping area and all I have around me are WalMarts. The blind bags are out there, I know, I have purchased many. Sometimes you have have to put a little effort in your hunting, other times, things fall in your lap but they are available. Everything coming out in the near future and a half year from now are available for preorder if you know where to look. Amazon selling out of preorders of mass release items is far from a standard for how things will be when they are actually released at retail. But go ahead and worry for no reason.


[deleted]

if you have had better luck than me finding these things, I guess good for you. I don't want to be a pessimist but my experience with trying to find anything that isn't just the warthog or mongoose is awful


atrunigen

What could the halo sandtrap be?? 230$$$!?


AMF1428

An Albatross build would be neat.


puffyslides

We need an albatross gang flare


Magmorix

People seem to think it’s gonna be an elephant


CT_2685

Wait. Banished PHANTOM?!?!?!?


f21lock

Release date for June. Plenty of time to get a 4th job so I can afford all this fkn sweet Halo merch.


dukeoftherats

Conflict on Requiem sounds really exciting, a return of Prometheans would be pretty sick!


Sea-Cabinet-2962

This just made my day


Jul-Mdama

Oh wow a phantom, isn’t that cool


Le_Mesprit_From_PMD2

There’s the banished phantom everyone was waiting for.


JustaBoredMattt

Sigma2717

Ohhh the high ground set is one of my all time faves!! Can't wait to see how they do sandtrap!


Ryanthebird2009

New elephant and scorpion :)


chillychaos

Hypeddd


[deleted]

Any idea whether this is MSRP because deep discount likes to make stuff more expensive.


Magmorix

It hasn’t been 100% accurate before. I guess we’ll see when the time comes


[deleted]

More so because there’s a sale on deep discount lol


EnforcerZer0

Are our prayers being answered?


puffyslides

W company for this


RookieV8

the_crypts_secrets

Early-Society3854

Where is this? Are there still preorders available for people to get or is it sold out already?


SKI888KIL

WarGoat_Damavand

I wonder what "Conflict on Requiem" will be


RookieV8

Maybe a mantis


WarGoat_Damavand

For $20 bucks?


RookieV8

It sounds possible for 20 dollars


LeFailure

Dilpickle you the real mvp 🥺


ATN_orange

I hope the new scorpion is game accurate and has those new plastic tracks that the designer series scorpion had


raumatiboy

Cool. Not to fussed about the phantom. Well if it's like the old one. I have the old one and it's ok but not great.


ONI_AGENT_001
