Anyone know any good playsets that scale with these figures? I'm not much into block building but I love the figures. Starcom, Air Raiders and some of the small Sigma 6 vehicles work. Mainly looking for playsets with computer terminals and machines.

Location: Strange Laboratories.
The proportions are pretty wacky on these little guys, so it's hard to pin down a true scale. Obviously, other block figure lines will be the most compatible. If anything, they can be mined for parts to build custom dios. Mega Bloks and McFarlane have some great greeble and detail pieces, blocks not even considered.

After that, it's sort of the Wild West.

If it works visually and gets the idea across, go with it. I've seen some of the Playskool playsets repainted and they look pretty rad with Mega Bloks/Construx.

Nice looking figures. I used the same head on my CC. as far as scale, they're a rough 1:36, so anything from 1:32 to about 1:44 works with them.

..That might be the first Serpentor figure in Mega Scale that i'm impressed with.

Nice work.

Welcome back! I was in the same boat more or less. I spent a lot of time designing toys and far less actually interacting with them. Only 2 lines have really brought me back into the fold and Mega Bloks is one of them.

Hah! Didn't realize our join date was exactly the same! Not bad for a couple of old timers here. :-D

If any of you have been eyeing the Ninja Turtles Technodome but were put off by the price now is a good time to check your local Toys R Us... mine had the Technodome set marked down to $150 along with steep price cuts to several other classic and movie sets.

$150 is still a lot for that set, oh well at least it's something I guess. Yeah, I'm a doofus and had a movie Raphael sitting in my parts bin and didn't even realize the muscle torso and removable shell. Great potential from those figures, need to stop by Tru and stock up.

Check Target. They had the movie boxed singles on sale the past couple weeks.

My Walmart had the movie Turtles for $2.00 a pop. I picked up a set of them, 2 of the CoD container sets(red and gray), and the Destiny set with the big guy and his shield. Making a great dio for my desk at work.

I was *this close* to buying a bunch of Echo series HALO blind packs but outside of being used as fodder i couldn't bring myself to do it even at the discounted price. I bought some Civil War mini figure sets as i want to swap the heads on the mega bloks figure bodies .

Black Panther and Hawkeye
Captain America and Crossbones
Falcon and War Machine

I should be able to salvage a lot of greebles after I've taken the dremel to all of them.
