How the blue fucking hell is Megabloks bullshit? Have you seen their Halo stuff? Megabloks ahs come a long, long way since their days of "KLnock-Off Lego" to the point where a lot of their Halo stuff feels higher quality and better value than most of their licensed brands. Hell, their minifigs alone are amazing little action figures that are fully posable and sculpted, not to mention how solid and accurate the vehicles are compared to Lego's habit of "we need to make a big vehicle that's not a flat spaceship, let's make the ENTIRE INSIDE hollow and undetailed."

Megabloks is far from bullshit. Now $65 for a headhunter model or $120 for the Sith Fury that's half the size and weight of the Halo Phantom? That's bullshit. Hell, Megabloks sells troop packs at $13 that includes four fully sculpted, painted and posable figures with unique weapons while Lego charges $15 for maybe four primitive, tampo'd minifigs with some cheaply designed vehicle and those old blaster sthey've been using for years. (not even comparring the fact that Megabloks minifigs have tons of different body pieces to replicate the armour customization of the games, while Lego maybe makes a new clone helmet once in a blue moon or a new alien that they stick in ONE expensive set)

I think this set is really cool. I still wish that their PR minifigs used the Halo style build, but whatever, this is cute and well-done. I'd love to see them do, y'know, OTHER series besides MMPR though. I hope with the success of these transitional figures we'll actually see them adopt that posbable, sculpted body. Imagine nearly-fully articulated, teeny little rangers with sculpted helmets, suits and unique weapons? I really wish we were there now.

No kidding. It's crazy how much they've improved while Lego, at best, stagnates, at worst regresses like with their Batman sets.
