Me to I sorta feel like a kid again and I only own one vehicle and 10 guys i unfortunately lost all my halos from wen I was a young kid but now In my 20s can’t help but buy the cool halos wen I seee them around for a good price. I miss the mega construx halo heads had 2 guys and a lil set that cost 50$+ on Amazon and used to be 15$ each at wallmart 😞

I'm just concerned about the lack of sets this year, I hope that mega is doing okay because it's such a shame to see such nicely detailed, unique, and great changes to regular Lego things go unnoticed.
I would find it hard to believe Mega was ending the Halo line considering it's been it's back bone line for so long, but with Pokémon now looking to be Mega's new flagship line and everything else we know of like the website closing down, no news on new sets, etc, it could be happening. I wonder about the future of Mega are they just going to make Hot Wheels and Pokémon, with the occasional limited run set like the future Fallout set?
well if the recent red rocket announcement is anything to go by. It looks like Fallout is a new line. considering the success of the TV show and the higher player counts of the games. looks like we got something new that stays.
I'd be sad if they stopped doing Halo Mega. The biggest issue they have is not getting the products in store and doing promotion for product paired with needing to do more communication. For me the Halo TV line was an auto skip, I want more terrain, small buildings, forerunner or covenant structures, vehicles we haven't seen or that could use a remake. We don't need more warthogs, hornets, mongooses ect but we could use more good army building character packs like a H2 elites vs brutes or a oops all flood pack character packs are great for both army building and not having to get a set x amount of times because of one or two figures.
Halo mega is one of the few links I have to my childhood. I remember getting my first set when I was 10 and I’m 21 now and I still have it on my display. It would be crushing to see this beloved brand go when there is still so much potential.
I can't wrap my head around it - regardless of the state of Halo I still feel like all of this could of been avoided. Yet poor communication & poor distribution just set this line ablaze and it couldn't recover. Absolutely incredible on just... the lack of care of it all too - no announcements, no nothing to confirm or reassure that things are OK.

Words can't describe how baffling and frustrating it is - ESPECIALLY as a long time UK collector across the pond. Shameful.
This issue is extremely complex, so many different factors that come into play, from less people buying toys, high inflation and bad economy, online retail becoming the main market, Halo not doing to great, and an array of other issues, it’s very sad but i unfortunately think this will be an ongoing trend until halo gets a big boost in popularity again, but we can at least hope nothing bad happens.

I loosely collected MEGA Halo on the back of Halo 5’s release… I didn’t hang around with it for very long. That said, I’ve recently discovered that I’ve missed out on a lot of cool MEGA over the years. Including the Predator, Aliens, Destiny and some of the Call of Duty sets which just seem really expensive and difficult to get a hold of now, especially in the UK. Which is really gutting to me as I would’ve absolutely loved to have had them in my collection among other things like LEGO and Transformers. I did, however, note that Halo seemed to still be going strong along with MEGA Pokémon. MEGA Pokémon really is the only one I see in store brand new and not second hand, namely in Smyths stores. But now here we are with these rumours and discussions around MEGA Halo being canned aswell… maybe I’m just destined to not really give MEGA a proper go which is pretty disappointing. 😕 And, just for fun, I made it to the end! 🤷🏻♂️
I made it to the end with so many thoughts, I very much hope they continue! With the rumoured Halo CE Remake its the PERFECT time to get some CE sets to build hype (not to mention to date they haven't yet really made any CE sets other than the Rockethog and a few characters)
They really need to make sets for CE. Heck, they need to just go back and remake so many sets from the past, and they would be set for a while. There are still so many things that haven't been made yet that they could do as well.
I do hope the Halo Mega line continues, even though I can't find the carded or blind bag figures in my area anymore (and the whole line is even getting harder to find online). I'm also interested to see if any of the leaks go anywhere as I like to mix all the lines that come with micro action figures together. Also I did make it to the end but you don't have to put me in the drawing, but that poster goes to a Halo game fan (I'm more just a fan of the sets... space military vs. space aliens).
I made it to the end BABYYYY I really hope that this isn't the end for Halo mega 😞 it would be crushing not only for me but for you and the whole Halo mega Community 😢😢😢😢 we still haven't had some sets that we have shouted out fir years NOW. such as The AA Wraith, a Covenant Battle cruiser/Covenant ship a Banished Wraith and a BANISHED SCARAB!!!!!!
unfortunate about this line i got into it 2021 and this channel was a great intro to the community. I've loved the figures since I got my first and helped me learn animation by using these. I've been sad looking through Target and Walmart only seeing pokemon mega in the Plannograms no halo. But thanks for what you do with the channel and toy hunting and just the excitement for the brand I've enjoyed your content over the years keep it up!
I made it to the end, and I really am thankful for your words and coverage of Halo Mega. We'll make it through the year as long as we've got each other!
If the halo mega Construx line ever ends, we will all have to come together as a fan community to keep the brand alive. A good example of this is the Lego Bionicle community with a passionate fan base. Even though there have been no new sets for years, the fans create the most amazing fan models and designs. The same goes for this community, I'm sure that for years to come there will always be creative people who make the most amazing stop motion videos, custom figures, toy photography and all the other great ideas and creations this community comes up with. i made it to the end
I made it to the end, with a fading hope that Halo Mega does come back as stores in my region are starting to cancel accessibility to Mega Halo in store where I can purchase. Hope it goes well.
I rarely ever comment anywhere about Halo Mega stuff but as someone who has been collecting the line constantly since 2010, I will say it is really disappointing seeing what has happened to the brand over the years. Even though Halo as a whole has been on the decline over the last few years, I still feel like there is so much potential for the series and especially for Mega. The are so many easy just basically given to them set ideas and vehicles that they can do or that they have just never made even. Like how we have gone 15 years without Mega ever making a Grizzly Tank is insane to me or that some vehicles have only ever had one set release too that's just crazy. But there could be so many easy ways for the line to continue one of the easiest ones I feel like could be just to remake and reimagine some of the old Mega Blok sets and figures into the new articulation and style or even more character or troop packs based around specific games even. The mismanagement of this line is depressing to say the least and I personally would love to see it continue for many years.
It's a shame the games and tv series have been poor for the past few years and this unfortunately has a knock on effect onto halo mega. The terrible distribution has had a major effect too.
Always appreciate your videos. The biggest problem with Mega HALO is simply availability. Sales are obviously going to drop off if there's nothing in the stores. Purchasing online usually translates to inflated prices.
I picked up Halo mega collecting again. It makes it a lot harder to find everything because the website disappeared. I'm looking forward to some of the newer sets. Still wish they would come out with a mini hologram of the weapon AI instead of the elusive prototype patch.
I'm 16, looking that video from France and I want to say to Mega that even if the games are not that great at the time, they are doing an amazing job with those sets. Even if you don't play the games you can love sets it for what it is ! I also do legos but it's a different experience... less unique (Ps I want more Mega in France plz it was easier to get a few years ago 😢)... and sry for my english skills, great video thank you !!!
You talked about being the ambassador for Mega as a whole, and I'm really happy for you that you've got yourself such a cool position! One thing that worries me is that this channel is certainly Halo centered and the algorithm hates youtube channels that make videos that are quite different from one another. If you upload other types of mega sets on here and the halo only fans don't click them, the algorithm is less likely to suggest to them a video from your channel as a whole, even if it is a halo video. Maybe multiple channels could be an option? I'm just really not sure how well that would pan out in terms of viewers. I can see mega pokemon getting some viewers, though! (They are really cool sets, to be honest) Hopefully this was some food for thought that could help you out :)
Mega had a really poor choice in their set selection this year. The only canonical figures we got this year were in the anniversary pack. That's all I picked up this year. Hope the leaked new licenses they got will pick up the slack and actually keep me interested in Mega.
I’m honestly really scared this line is about to die. Please do anything you can to convince the company to turn it around! I’ve been a fan since SSmotion! I made it to the end cheers!
I made it to the end. For me living in Norway, Mega has never been a big brand here due to Lego's big monopoly on building block toys in the nordics and most of europe. As A kid most of what I saw from Mega was those dragons, the ones in the eggs with a weird sack that had swappable pieces on balljoints. And more recently Mega's building sets appeared in some stores here, but mostly Pokemon stuff. The stuff from the halo line (and some cod) was stuff I got one time in England, some I got in a random local shop in Greece, and some I got as gifts from family who'd traveled, and a small amount (the 20th anniversary figure pack, the new marines and mk7 figure pack and a few blind bags) I ordered whil I myself was in the US for a short moment. I've been a halo fan since I was quite young and seeing these sets on yt really made me wish I was lucky enough to have them, and now It'd be cool to have more, even if some of the qc isn't 100% (some broken parts with age, and in the 20th anniversary box Golden Locke's feet were lacking some plastic.) I still would like to have some
Y'know, I'm not sure if I didn't click or if it wasn't recommended to me, but I didn't watch the guilty-spark video! I might watch it later. What a cool set :)
Made it. I know what the ladies like. Mega better keep making these Halo sets bc they released tons of stuff before I had disposable income. Im scooping up everything I can get my hands on, old and new. I think they oversaturated the market with those Squad Ambush sets (4 mini figs sets) but i love the Frostraven and the new Flood sets are personal favorites. The Flood set even came in a Mega branded shipping box that had flood spores printed on it
ngl i wish they did like possibly voting for sets or for lines, have a couple of sets ideas, people vote on them, they get released around the seasons, based on voting they can both figure out what people want( which and what halo to focus on) and have more of an idea what to aim for. they did a great job with that community vote for the flood set. that or start making sets like the probuilder ones, they could also easily redo old mega sets with new pieces and new articulation figures, theres plenty of stuff they could do, bringing back drop pods, army packs etc.
To be honest, I think Halo as a franchise is losing a lot of traction in the market. The TV series was successful enough to justify a second season, but it didn’t bring in the large audience that was likely expected. The video game had its moment of glory a few months ago, but many players have already left. Looking at the market in general, Halo is mentioned less and less, and it doesn’t seem to attract new fans. It seems like it’s only selling to its already loyal audience, without really growing its player base and this is a critical aspect for any brand. As for Halo Mega, I think many sets are made more to keep existing fans, like us, happy rather than to attract new consumers. Aside from some exceptions, like the Halo Infinite Multiplayer sets, the line seems designed solely for the current audience. In contrast, Pokémon is driving Mega’s user acquisition forward. That product line sells to people who may not have even known about Mega before. I think that if it weren’t for Pokémon sets, Mega might not have lasted as long as it has. In summary, it seems to me that Halo sets are gradually slipping out of the market or, at the very least, destined to produce fewer and more limited sets (as we’ve probably noticed over the past few years). If they continue to invest in Halo, it’ll be because Mega can convince Mattel that there’s still some profit to be made. In the end, I’m sorry to say it, but this is the reality if Halo isn’t selling anymore, it’s hard to imagine it continuing. And as we all know, it always comes down to money in the end.
Here's the big thing. People can't buy sets and toys that, for all intents and purposes for many people, do not exist. No one wants the fifteenth warthog or the 4,089th spartan with funny colors. The only set I've seen physically in probably 6 years is the latest hornet, and I had to go *two states over*. It also doesn't help that the only ones available are near $200, or Another mongoose with very little in between.
I really don’t want mega to cancel the halo license and I know there is a lot of stuff they can do with it like maybe a halo hero series with expanded universe characters or a mystery bag with cool covenant, banished, unsc, and flood from the expanded universe. Like I can imagine a halo universe mystery bag series with a SPI spartan 3, an engineer, a new articulation hayabusa, or even cancelled halo enemies that were supposed to be in the games
I hope it doesn’t get cancelled, it has been a major part of my childhood since I was 8. Even if does get cancelled I will always remember it and hold it in high respect.
I made it to the end of course! You always gotta make it to end because that’s another way to support your BOI! Anyways Simon I feel how your feeling with the licensing of the Halo franchise for MEGA, I do believe that MEGA should keep HALO and its licensing basically as long as Halo itself. I feel your pain and struggles with this franchise and like many others do we will still support you!❤️
Made it towards the end and please keep us updated especially the community. You’re the only source of communication and be straightforward with the rest of us and let us and what do we do now???? Domain?
The two other UNSC sets that were leaked with the wasp months ago still have no news on their release. Maybe they have been pushed back to next year but if they have been cancelled it's going to be a huge shame. They are perfect for MOC builds and fleshing put setting builds
I said it under someone's banished scarab build, that if halo mega dies we need to go out with a bang. (Obviously I think a banished scarab would be the way to go)
I made it to the end, I think a lot of Megas issues are social media and distribution. Social media: they need someone posting updates on twitter or something like that announcing new waves and showing off some prototype ideas and showing new sets and announcing them Distribution: the only store I’ve been able to find halo mega in is Meijer in the US no other store carries them around me, since they can’t seem to get them in stores they should try to use their creations website to launch all products they make for halo, fallout, and other mega IP, there should be a central website like Lego has to get sets
I think the reason we aren’t getting much new Halo mega is simple. No new halo games. I gerente when halo 7 comes out we will be getting a whole new wave just like with infinite. I do wish they would just keep making sets anyway because they absolutely could make more sets from older games. There are still plenty of set ideas that ether haven’t been done in a while or haven’t been done at all. But I guess it doesn’t make enough money.
From what I understand no Walmart on the east coast carries any halo mega. The only things left at Dollar Stores is what stock never sold. I know some grocery stores use to carry them. So the only place to get mega halo is from Amazon.
I made it to the end 🤘🏻 If they release a full ODST squad pack for the 15yr anniversary MEGA would make up all the money they'd need for the next couple of years of Halo MEGA
Something I guarantee would help Halo Mega, is if Microsoft green lit the full production of the Halo Mega game that was supposed yo release back on the 360
I made it to the end. I love this franchise. Not just Halo, but Mega Halo. Ever since I got my first figure. This is the most avoidable death in history. Even with Halo's decline. First I think Mega should prioritize online shipping, and in general they should seek some partnership with amazon, until they can get in stores again. That is the most reliable way to get these sets out. They need to experiment, and find out what numbers they need to produce (how many sets) to actually reach their loyal collectors. Not just collectors but kids too. Both groups want cool structures and battlepacks, we need them. God, I wish I could just say it all here all my ideas. Besides that, your dedication is admirable. I think we all feel betrayed, and I myself am impending the worst. I know in the end we will all be fine. There are things about Halo even the Hierarchs do not understand. If the series gets cancelled, I am 100% it will rise again. This is not the last of Mega Halo at all. Maybe for a while, but not for too long.
whenever mega posts a picture of halo stuff on insta, it literally gets the most likes, and im pretty sure whenever they sell something online, it gets sold out like instantly, so mega has got to be making money from it still by a far
Made it to the end. This video answered some questions, but I still have some many more. Why is Mega so bad at communicating? Why even have a brand ambassador if you don't give him information or listen to what he has to say about what the fans want? I swear, if MEGA just listened to fans...
I made it to the end! And everything you said is strait facts. A lot of us have built our channels and communities off of this product and it pains me to see it this way. I’m still waiting on the next blind bag series lol
I made it to the end! And that poster would make a fine addition to my collection. Honestly it would be so sad to not get any more mega halo. As I kid I used to love to go to ToysRUs to get mega halo but now you can hardly get it in the UK anymore. I got The Mega Schism and Covenant drop pod from your shop and hopefully Mega can realise that the fans want covenant sets more than random UNSC sets (and UK shipping). Personally though, I believe they should have a online store.
I made it to the end. I really hope halo mega doesn’t end bc I just recently started collecting and it would suck if us newer collectors would have to browse through eBay and website like it just to find older sets that are wayyyy more expensive than retail instead of getting new ones which would be cheaper
I've personally found that it's difficult to find halo merch in the UK in general and this has reflected on Halo Mega, Since Infinite's release, i've only ever found the base release sets from Infinite.

They really need to make sets for CE. Heck, they need to just go back and remake so many sets from the past, and they would be set for a while. There are still so many things that haven't been made yet that they could do as well.
I do hope the Halo Mega line continues, even though I can't find the carded or blind bag figures in my area anymore (and the whole line is even getting harder to find online). I'm also interested to see if any of the leaks go anywhere as I like to mix all the lines that come with micro action figures together.
Also I did make it to the end but you don't have to put me in the drawing, but that poster goes to a Halo game fan (I'm more just a fan of the sets... space military vs. space aliens).
I made it to the end! I hope that this line stays alive and we hear some positive news soon!
I made it to the end BABYYYY
I really hope that this isn't the end for Halo mega 😞 it would be crushing not only for me but for you and the whole Halo mega Community 😢😢😢😢 we still haven't had some sets that we have shouted out fir years NOW. such as The AA Wraith, a Covenant Battle cruiser/Covenant ship a Banished Wraith and a BANISHED SCARAB!!!!!!
They should make NMPD sets again
unfortunate about this line i got into it 2021 and this channel was a great intro to the community. I've loved the figures since I got my first and helped me learn animation by using these. I've been sad looking through Target and Walmart only seeing pokemon mega in the Plannograms no halo. But thanks for what you do with the channel and toy hunting and just the excitement for the brand I've enjoyed your content over the years keep it up!
as i made it to the end, i was literally about to cry this makes me so sad that halo mega could be cancelled😭😭😭
I made it to the end, and I really am thankful for your words and coverage of Halo Mega. We'll make it through the year as long as we've got each other!
I probably haven't seen a Megaconstrux halo set in a Target or Walmart in years
If the halo mega Construx line ever ends, we will all have to come together as a fan community to keep the brand alive. A good example of this is the Lego Bionicle community with a passionate fan base. Even though there have been no new sets for years, the fans create the most amazing fan models and designs. The same goes for this community, I'm sure that for years to come there will always be creative people who make the most amazing stop motion videos, custom figures, toy photography and all the other great ideas and creations this community comes up with.
i made it to the end
I made it to the end! Love your videos and hope the Halo Mega line continues!
that store has great prices
I made it to the end. Thank you so much for trying to get the public some info. Love your content and I love halo mega
Halo Mega will and shall continue on 🥲🫡
I made it to the end and I really would love to see MEGA make more product.
I made it to the end and am finally getting back into collecting halo mega, gonna probably suck if it is ending tho
Make it to the end and Remember Reach
I made it to the end, with a fading hope that Halo Mega does come back as stores in my region are starting to cancel accessibility to Mega Halo in store where I can purchase. Hope it goes well.
I rarely ever comment anywhere about Halo Mega stuff but as someone who has been collecting the line constantly since 2010, I will say it is really disappointing seeing what has happened to the brand over the years. Even though Halo as a whole has been on the decline over the last few years, I still feel like there is so much potential for the series and especially for Mega. The are so many easy just basically given to them set ideas and vehicles that they can do or that they have just never made even. Like how we have gone 15 years without Mega ever making a Grizzly Tank is insane to me or that some vehicles have only ever had one set release too that's just crazy. But there could be so many easy ways for the line to continue one of the easiest ones I feel like could be just to remake and reimagine some of the old Mega Blok sets and figures into the new articulation and style or even more character or troop packs based around specific games even. The mismanagement of this line is depressing to say the least and I personally would love to see it continue for many years.
It's a shame the games and tv series have been poor for the past few years and this unfortunately has a knock on effect onto halo mega. The terrible distribution has had a major effect too.
Always appreciate your videos. The biggest problem with Mega HALO is simply availability. Sales are obviously going to drop off if there's nothing in the stores. Purchasing online usually translates to inflated prices.
I made it to the end. I hope Halo Mega still continues! And maybe even some civilian characters like Lego does
I picked up Halo mega collecting again. It makes it a lot harder to find everything because the website disappeared. I'm looking forward to some of the newer sets. Still wish they would come out with a mini hologram of the weapon AI instead of the elusive prototype patch.
I made it too the end , this community will NEVER DIE💪🏻
I'm 16, looking that video from France and I want to say to Mega that even if the games are not that great at the time, they are doing an amazing job with those sets. Even if you don't play the games you can love sets it for what it is ! I also do legos but it's a different experience... less unique (Ps I want more Mega in France plz it was easier to get a few years ago 😢)... and sry for my english skills, great video thank you !!!
You talked about being the ambassador for Mega as a whole, and I'm really happy for you that you've got yourself such a cool position!
One thing that worries me is that this channel is certainly Halo centered and the algorithm hates youtube channels that make videos that are quite different from one another. If you upload other types of mega sets on here and the halo only fans don't click them, the algorithm is less likely to suggest to them a video from your channel as a whole, even if it is a halo video.
Maybe multiple channels could be an option? I'm just really not sure how well that would pan out in terms of viewers. I can see mega pokemon getting some viewers, though! (They are really cool sets, to be honest)
Hopefully this was some food for thought that could help you out :)
I made it to the end Simon! I miss the good old days
Grateful you are doing the most you can in this unfortunate situation
Watched it to the end, and then something whatever you want to type
I’m so glad that mega has halo and now fallout. I just hope they build hype for them both and not keep everything so secret.
Mega had a really poor choice in their set selection this year. The only canonical figures we got this year were in the anniversary pack. That's all I picked up this year. Hope the leaked new licenses they got will pick up the slack and actually keep me interested in Mega.
If LEGO would stop restricting stores into only carrying a limited amount of competitor brands, MEGA would be able to push Halo as much as Pokemon
I’m honestly really scared this line is about to die. Please do anything you can to convince the company to turn it around! I’ve been a fan since SSmotion! I made it to the end cheers!
I made it to the end. For me living in Norway, Mega has never been a big brand here due to Lego's big monopoly on building block toys in the nordics and most of europe. As A kid most of what I saw from Mega was those dragons, the ones in the eggs with a weird sack that had swappable pieces on balljoints. And more recently Mega's building sets appeared in some stores here, but mostly Pokemon stuff. The stuff from the halo line (and some cod) was stuff I got one time in England, some I got in a random local shop in Greece, and some I got as gifts from family who'd traveled, and a small amount (the 20th anniversary figure pack, the new marines and mk7 figure pack and a few blind bags) I ordered whil I myself was in the US for a short moment. I've been a halo fan since I was quite young and seeing these sets on yt really made me wish I was lucky enough to have them, and now It'd be cool to have more, even if some of the qc isn't 100% (some broken parts with age, and in the 20th anniversary box Golden Locke's feet were lacking some plastic.) I still would like to have some
Y'know, I'm not sure if I didn't click or if it wasn't recommended to me, but I didn't watch the guilty-spark video!
I might watch it later. What a cool set :)
Made it. I know what the ladies like. Mega better keep making these Halo sets bc they released tons of stuff before I had disposable income. Im scooping up everything I can get my hands on, old and new. I think they oversaturated the market with those Squad Ambush sets (4 mini figs sets) but i love the Frostraven and the new Flood sets are personal favorites. The Flood set even came in a Mega branded shipping box that had flood spores printed on it
If they do cancel HALO then they should go full in fallout and at least make a few sets
Enclave sets are gonna BOOM in sales!
@@toilsometub7 god bless the United States of America and god bless the Enclave
@@charlesjoseph9591o7
i watched the whole video cool poster
I just wanna know what happened with those leaked modular sets that were shown alongside the new wasp.
They were very likely canceled imo
@@arbiterproductions0516 Boo those are exactly what we need rn
@@arbiterproductions0516 rip those would've been amazing
ngl i wish they did like possibly voting for sets or for lines, have a couple of sets ideas, people vote on them, they get released around the seasons, based on voting they can both figure out what people want( which and what halo to focus on) and have more of an idea what to aim for.
they did a great job with that community vote for the flood set.
that or start making sets like the probuilder ones, they could also easily redo old mega sets with new pieces and new articulation figures, theres plenty of stuff they could do, bringing back drop pods, army packs etc.
also adding unto that, sticking to amazon when it comes to selling halo or open an online shop for those.
I made it to the end of the video, and I hope to be buying at Halo sets for years to come 😇
Transmition completed in full, Sir Domizle in the Hizle Sir! Oorah!
To be honest, I think Halo as a franchise is losing a lot of traction in the market. The TV series was successful enough to justify a second season, but it didn’t bring in the large audience that was likely expected. The video game had its moment of glory a few months ago, but many players have already left. Looking at the market in general, Halo is mentioned less and less, and it doesn’t seem to attract new fans. It seems like it’s only selling to its already loyal audience, without really growing its player base and this is a critical aspect for any brand.
As for Halo Mega, I think many sets are made more to keep existing fans, like us, happy rather than to attract new consumers. Aside from some exceptions, like the Halo Infinite Multiplayer sets, the line seems designed solely for the current audience. In contrast, Pokémon is driving Mega’s user acquisition forward. That product line sells to people who may not have even known about Mega before. I think that if it weren’t for Pokémon sets, Mega might not have lasted as long as it has.
In summary, it seems to me that Halo sets are gradually slipping out of the market or, at the very least, destined to produce fewer and more limited sets (as we’ve probably noticed over the past few years). If they continue to invest in Halo, it’ll be because Mega can convince Mattel that there’s still some profit to be made. In the end, I’m sorry to say it, but this is the reality if Halo isn’t selling anymore, it’s hard to imagine it continuing. And as we all know, it always comes down to money in the end.
I made it to the end lol and I gotta say I'd be so upset if they cancelled halo mega before getting any halo 2 sets or the grave mind in mega form
Here's the big thing. People can't buy sets and toys that, for all intents and purposes for many people, do not exist. No one wants the fifteenth warthog or the 4,089th spartan with funny colors. The only set I've seen physically in probably 6 years is the latest hornet, and I had to go *two states over*. It also doesn't help that the only ones available are near $200, or Another mongoose with very little in between.
I want Halo Mega back in stores!!!!
I really don’t want mega to cancel the halo license and I know there is a lot of stuff they can do with it like maybe a halo hero series with expanded universe characters or a mystery bag with cool covenant, banished, unsc, and flood from the expanded universe. Like I can imagine a halo universe mystery bag series with a SPI spartan 3, an engineer, a new articulation hayabusa, or even cancelled halo enemies that were supposed to be in the games
Mega simply should just present for every wave a voting option on every set allowing the customers to get what they want and guarantee sales
I hope it doesn’t get cancelled, it has been a major part of my childhood since I was 8. Even if does get cancelled I will always remember it and hold it in high respect.
I made it to the end while constructing the 343 guilty spark set
I made it to the end, and I love your channel, but something is wrong with Mega. It's not the same since Mattel took over.
I made it to the end of course! You always gotta make it to end because that’s another way to support your BOI! Anyways Simon I feel how your feeling with the licensing of the Halo franchise for MEGA, I do believe that MEGA should keep HALO and its licensing basically as long as Halo itself. I feel your pain and struggles with this franchise and like many others do we will still support you!❤️
I Made it to the end were it so easy
Made it towards the end and please keep us updated especially the community. You’re the only source of communication and be straightforward with the rest of us and let us and what do we do now???? Domain?
The two other UNSC sets that were leaked with the wasp months ago still have no news on their release. Maybe they have been pushed back to next year but if they have been cancelled it's going to be a huge shame. They are perfect for MOC builds and fleshing put setting builds
I said it under someone's banished scarab build, that if halo mega dies we need to go out with a bang.
(Obviously I think a banished scarab would be the way to go)
I made it to the end!
I don't want the mega halo to get cancelled ever, it's the best!
Nearly 75% of the store is sold out already, wow
I made it to the end also what you are doing is amazing I feel like they should make a new halo game so the popularity goes up
I made it to the end, I think a lot of Megas issues are social media and distribution.
Social media: they need someone posting updates on twitter or something like that announcing new waves and showing off some prototype ideas and showing new sets and announcing them
Distribution: the only store I’ve been able to find halo mega in is Meijer in the US no other store carries them around me, since they can’t seem to get them in stores they should try to use their creations website to launch all products they make for halo, fallout, and other mega IP, there should be a central website like Lego has to get sets
I think the reason we aren’t getting much new Halo mega is simple. No new halo games. I gerente when halo 7 comes out we will be getting a whole new wave just like with infinite. I do wish they would just keep making sets anyway because they absolutely could make more sets from older games. There are still plenty of set ideas that ether haven’t been done in a while or haven’t been done at all. But I guess it doesn’t make enough money.
From what I understand no Walmart on the east coast carries any halo mega. The only things left at Dollar Stores is what stock never sold. I know some grocery stores use to carry them. So the only place to get mega halo is from Amazon.
I made it to the end 🤘🏻
If they release a full ODST squad pack for the 15yr anniversary MEGA would make up all the money they'd need for the next couple of years of Halo MEGA
I really hope they would do some battle base sets like the high ground set. Halo mega sets should not end, it should keep going
Everything was about sold out……I was gonna get that seraph. The Guilty Spark was awesome I bought him when I found him in my local store.
I wish they sold these in my area still its my childhood
Something I guarantee would help Halo Mega, is if Microsoft green lit the full production of the Halo Mega game that was supposed yo release back on the 360
I made it to the end. I love this franchise.
Not just Halo, but Mega Halo. Ever since I got my first figure.
This is the most avoidable death in history. Even with Halo's decline. First I think Mega should prioritize online shipping, and in general they should seek some partnership with amazon, until they can get in stores again. That is the most reliable way to get these sets out. They need to experiment, and find out what numbers they need to produce (how many sets) to actually reach their loyal collectors. Not just collectors but kids too. Both groups want cool structures and battlepacks, we need them. God, I wish I could just say it all here all my ideas.
Besides that, your dedication is admirable. I think we all feel betrayed, and I myself am impending the worst.
I know in the end we will all be fine. There are things about Halo even the Hierarchs do not understand.
If the series gets cancelled, I am 100% it will rise again.
This is not the last of Mega Halo at all. Maybe for a while, but not for too long.
whenever mega posts a picture of halo stuff on insta, it literally gets the most likes, and im pretty sure whenever they sell something online, it gets sold out like instantly, so mega has got to be making money from it still by a far
Made it to the end. This video answered some questions, but I still have some many more. Why is Mega so bad at communicating? Why even have a brand ambassador if you don't give him information or listen to what he has to say about what the fans want? I swear, if MEGA just listened to fans...
I made it to the end! And everything you said is strait facts. A lot of us have built our channels and communities off of this product and it pains me to see it this way. I’m still waiting on the next blind bag series lol
Great video I hope mega doesn't get canceled personally I have moved on to Lego castle but I made It to the End......
Made it to the end and I'll continue being part of the community no matter what ;)
I made it to the end! And that poster would make a fine addition to my collection. Honestly it would be so sad to not get any more mega halo. As I kid I used to love to go to ToysRUs to get mega halo but now you can hardly get it in the UK anymore. I got The Mega Schism and Covenant drop pod from your shop and hopefully Mega can realise that the fans want covenant sets more than random UNSC sets (and UK shipping). Personally though, I believe they should have a online store.
I made it to the end. I really hope halo mega doesn’t end bc I just recently started collecting and it would suck if us newer collectors would have to browse through eBay and website like it just to find older sets that are wayyyy more expensive than retail instead of getting new ones which would be cheaper
I've personally found that it's difficult to find halo merch in the UK in general and this has reflected on Halo Mega, Since Infinite's release, i've only ever found the base release sets from Infinite.
I made it to the end. Just gotta pray Halo can have a comeback with the game side as well as the merchandise as a whole.
