My closest Target is just down to Casey Jones singles. Already picked up a couple, but might stock up for the civilian clothes and plain, blank torso.

Can't wait for the new Mega Construx stuff to hit. Got a ton of customs waiting on fodder...

I recall when i was fabricating micro joints from scratch and the painstaking attention that went into it. I also recall buying yellow submarine and revoltech joints Now all i have to do is load up on random figures for instant hinge swivel elbows and shoulders for less than $3 a pop .

This is the Golden Age of micro figure collecting and customizing lol.

Snow Job looks FUN Mark.

Have you guys seen the 2016 Mega Bloks exclusives from the Fan Expo in Canada?

Not. Bad.

It's worth the google search.

Thanks. Some of the weapons and accessories I have aren't going to be strictly figure-accurate, but they'll be close enough. But look at all the variety I got:

I can live with a few discrepancies for all those accessories.

I have one figure left to do in the class of '84 then I'll be posting them up. In piecing together the Joes, I've already started on my Cobras. I'm trying to stick to my, "All Joes, by year, then all Cobras, by year" but it's getting hard to resist some of the Cobras. I might go through '85 or '86 with the Joes then do the Cobras from '82-'86, then finish the Joes.

That tommy gun..I've always wanted mini gangster figures.

I've seen the 2017 HALO offerings recently and ...DAMN.... 2017 should be a killer year for Mattel . The new HALO product is HOT. Hot enough for me to buy and swap COD legs onto HALO bodies. I also saw the new Mega Construx COD night special ops team. With some green highlights they're basically updated Night Vipers IMO.

Awesome, can't wait to get some of the new stuff. The tommy guns are definitely a nice bonus - I may even make a Headman custom (wasn't going to go that far into the years, but may now) since I have his gun. I'll probably modify one into a li'l blooper for Gung-Ho, since it'll be passable at the scale.

I just picked these up; the girl in blue is going out to GA for my grand-niece Sophia since it's 'her'.

Saw this 3pack as well, which I might have gotten first if I'd known about them. You'll note the extra wigs and two glasses/goggles.

Found wave 3 of the individually carded HALO figures (with Mega Construx branding) at Target last night.

Picked up one of the new sculpt Brutes... AWESOME... already being customized for my sci-fi concept...

I'm hoping, but doubtful, to see those show up at Target. The MB section keeps getting smaller and smaller, with Lego given more space.

Those new Halo Heroes are at Kroger's, too; as you can see above.

Wondering if it might be because they're transitioning into Mega Construx and letting old inventory sell through.

I've been noticing the section fluctuate. First it was pretty big, then shrank down as Mega Construx were announced, and now it's filling back up with the Spring 2017 product.

My local Toys R Us has expanded their MB product tremendously in the last year. It stretches a full long aisle, between the Playmobil (on the far side) and the epic LEGO section that runs a good 3-4 aisles.

This was my childhood TRU growing up and I would've gone buck wild with this much to choose from. Definitely the best-stocked it's been since I was a kid.

I've finally scored something new!

Halo Covenant Comander Ghost . $6.72 for a vehicle and a fully poseable figure, removable armor and weapons is an excellent deal. If I don't like the Sanghelli I've got great joints to harvest for custom work.

Now to find the time to open it...
