Discord is a bad idea because it can get wiped at any time, and isn't able to be indexed by google. A community dropbox or google drive with mirrors is safer.

[@minepass9798]

Really feeling like they're just letting things decline to the point of death. After Toys'R us went out and every other retailer (Target, Walmart, exc) figured out what was profitable they have just allowed themselves to be shut out. Heck, generic Chinese knock off sets are finding shelf space in the Lego isles. No - mega can't take on Lego (my opinion as a collector of both since Halo mega began), they're just too established. But that doesn't mean it can't still survive and thrive with themes Lego won't produce. Halo was great once, and it can still be great again. We need that archive, online shop directly from Mattel for ALL items, and a supply to meet real collectors and fans.

[@Met_August]

They should do fallout sets

[@rickychinagui]

It seems that now it is our turn to be the heroes, as a community our only option is to do things ourselves. Some people have saved (maybe not in the best conditions) but if they have the manuals as legible as possible, we could even make a community drive file with the manuals, and the missing information, after all, and for the luck of many, there are many videos and channels that have been dedicated to this. Let's hope that this is just a stumbling block, and if it is not. "It will be time to put one block at a time". 💪 We can do it :3 💪

[@brickmakerofficial8121]

The recent leaving of Halo Mega products in stores has been breaking my heart, it really hurts to see something that has been such a positive aspect in my life since I started collecting in 2009 start to wane off is very sad. Thank you for keeping this community updated Simon, great to see that this community is still thriving every time I check back in, here is to hoping that Halo Mega makes a big comback.

[@AtomicBombadier]

Would be cool to have nostalgia remakes for old fans wanting to recollect due to whatever reason of not having their original products

[@Exodroid3619]

Heartbreaking to hear, what makes it so much sadder is that 1. Halo itself is dying at a scary rate. 2. It’s an amazing idea of a toy that should not be facing the scarcity of demand. Same thing happened to both destiny and COD sadly. Pokémon is successful because the demand is their, no because the toys were good, but because kids were attracted to them. This community is literally all that’s saving halo mcx. I myself has felt less attraction to mega because I just don’t follow halo as a whole a lot. The past year, I’ve only bought 5 sets tops sadly, not because I can’t afford more, but because I just don’t want to. Halo reach, 2, and 3 are the games fans love the most. And fans loved the flood gate firefight, falcon sweep and other sets from those games. That could very well be the key to get mega out of the hole they’re in. Sadly, the hint demarcation media said about halo heroes being canceled might be true, the new wasp set was Amazing, and the paint apps of the figs were also amazing. Another thing to consider is that 3D printing is getting into its prime, some custom figures looks amazing and make megas oficial ones looks like bootlegs. Not saying it’s bad, but it’s something mega can looks at and get inspiration. 3d printing gives us infinite possibilities on what we can make and how we make them which is a thing that makes people choose them over official sets. Me included. Some of the biggest animators have used 3D printed part and they turned out amazing. Pokémon cards were revived by a Logan Paul, if something like that happened with mega, it could also get us out of that hole.I give all my respect for Simon right now for not only trying to save halo mcx, but a good product with an infinite potential. This community is also where I can escape to, where I got some good friends who I can connect to with this toys. Simon and this toy brand helped get me through some hard times, so it’s time that not only me, but all of us return that favor. This is not only a serious problem, but one that requires the community to step forward and unite

Honestly, I think it's shocking that they (Mega, Mattel, whoever), deleted 15 years of history. Even worse that the brand is still active - the blogs that still exist, or eBay listings, will not last forever. It's a slap in the face to long time collectors, and a simple website to catalogue products is not beyond the financial capacity of Mattel.

While I don't have a large amount of sealed sets what I do have is a huge amount of instruction manuals. Ranging from sets from 2009 all the way to the most recent releases.

I am planning to make some stop motion videos in the very future to catch peoples attention which you could also do.

To whoever reads this, join us to not let this industry die.

I've been a long time collector since about 2011 and hearing about this is devastating. Years back, I remember thinking to myself that something like this could happen and began to download all the instruction pdfs starting with sets I own. I created a spreadsheets to keep track of MSRPs and the codes for the blind bags but stopped like two years ago. I remember at the time mega had their website for halo well organized with release years and factions. It made it extremely useful for organizing hauls/lots. It would be awesome to recreate that, I have some experience building websites and wouldn't mind helping out in that aspect. But I am concerned of getting a cease and desist letter from Mattel if this actually gets done.

Im ngl, Halo Mega at this point feels dead. Community wise not at all, but Im sure there are many others considering dropping the hobby because of how they handle their releases & distribution. There is no way to get your hands on the newest sets or certain heros series & blind bags unless you drop the bank on it. Their products are amazing, but they're also so slow to get these sets on the table for sale or widley avaliable. Idk anymore tbh, but Im not dropping the hobby just yet. I have a vast collection myself & I dont see myself selling it off anytime soon. I know Im coping but man I hope things turn for the better

[@thedomainhalo]

I think it’s a bad move for anyone to drop the hobby. It’s hard out here but there’s every reason that it could get better

[@Snipes.Apollo]

​@thedomainhalo I think making sure the sets/figures we have now rather than focusing on developing any new future sets will be the best move to save mega construx because nobody is going to care about a product they can't get their hands on, if heroes and Blind bags get widely distributed that will go a long way towards making things right. The Falcon sweep and Drop pods should also return but the blind bags and heroes are the priority as it's more realistic to demand from Mega to fix their distribution in that specific aspect since they are still in production and the clock on that is ticking down everyday. It's been 3 years or longer since any heroes showed up, Mega should seriously Address everyone's concerns as soon as possible as the faster they do it the more Halo Mega fans are still around. I Don't want the brand dying but there's only one way to fix things and that's knowing what the plan now and ahead will be, saying ANYTHING now will go a long way towards fixing strain caused by not saying much over the past few years. We're past the point where we can afford to get a vague answer we need full clarity no matter how hard of a pill to swallow it may be. EDIT:It's worse than initially thought I just checked the entire state of Montana and Mega has let me down big time.
