Not at all. It's still a possibility, but it doesn't look good as it stands right now. :(

No response from Joe about the D&R. I think he prolly just can't say either way. Once the product leaves their warehouses it's outta TMP's hand. Thanks anyway Joe!

they were announced as license holders by Warner Bros Consumer Products last July per the International Licensing Expo. And it doesn't take a full year to produce figures. They have it down to about 10 months from concept to shelf from what I last heard.

Mc toys might be hurting.

I get the same sickening feeling that they're just limping along. I have a feeling that for every $1 in profit they make from Halo, they use $.90 of it to pay for the GH license. WTHWA would've been a big WIN and it looks like they managed to strike out.

Halo Photos are up.

Not that it's anything exciting. We have the Brand Name now for the Pills, "OddPods"

:/

Wake me when we get news about Series 6

Big news of the day is the pricey of the Deluxe Box Sets....$21 over at BBTS....it was for me at least....Which pretty much amounts to us getting raped for some extra armor....sweet....

Not too exited about the "pill" halo toys. I may buy them anyway.

$21 for a box set?! Not too bad, I suppose. Now those I WANT! ;)

IMO it's overpriced. I broke it down if yer a completest who likes to display them. Obviously yer gonna need 4 Teal sets, since Teal is a new color. For Red, you only need 2 of sets. And then yer gonna need that Guardian Two Pack, which isn't that bad of deal since you are getting 2 actual figures. Granted, one of them being an Elite (which I don't care to collect). So out the door without tax or delivery it's gonna run you $147 for 8 figures. Which sucks.

Hopefully I can find them without the BBTS "tax" as I like to call it. Putting them closer to $18 or $19. Plus, did ya'll notice that you can't preorder the Teal at BBTS? I swear to god if it's a Walmart Exclusive I'm gonna throw up.
