Halo Mega Construx Just Made a FATAL Mistake.

[@thedomainhalo]

Let’s keep this comments section positive folks! There’s still so much to celebrate. Please share how important the website is to you down below.

[@keithbrannon251]

I think the website was very important, and I used it...but...I think it would be better if we as a community made our own resource for our hobby. I think we could do that based off what others have done.

[@MarkTheGamer180]

How bout some transformer toys?

[@MasterBo360]

What do you think the future of the brand will be? Will we continue to see limited releases or will they decrease even more?

[@thedomainhalo]

@@keithbrannon251I agree! The issue is it is SO much work. We’re working on something but these things take a serious amount of time and resources

[@ReconProductions117]

@@halostopmotionandreviews yeah hold on

[@ReconProductions117]

He’s basically saying, that since mega has shut down its website, it is a big mistake. Because if there are any new customers who want to learn about this fantastic product, then they can’t learn really about any previous set or archives. And it will not help the product at all.

Honestly loved halo mega blocks back in the day only reason I stopped collecting was because of how hard it was to get sets. Had to come back for the falcon sweep tho that set was perfect

[@DemarcationMedia]

I see your point, but I think the alienation happens the instant somebody looks up a set with their favorite figs and sees one figure costs $40+, that's a fan lost.

[@thedomainhalo]

Not always but that is something that is 100% unavoidable

[@LuisAntonio-s3e]

[@KYLETHEBANDITO]

I've always wanted a site exactly like bricklink for mega construx as to catalog sets and what parts they contain, and also to perchase parts you may be missing since its near impossible to do so without outright buying the whole thing on other sites

[@ryanvause5881]

This is a sad day for us…I can’t express the joy I used to have looking at that site of the sets coming up and the past sets like “man that was awesome finding that” but I hope this line continues….

[@halojon3909]

Wow. Let’s follow Simon’s lead and stay positive. When the new sets come out let’s show MEGA how quickly they sell out. I love MEGA HALO above anything collectible. Let’s keep this brand alive.

[@thedomainhalo]

Heck yeah Jon

[@imadubsfan1]

This is just another example in a LONG list of bad Halo news us fans are very much used to by now....from MCX's website closing, to Jazwares' Halo distribution woes and QC issues of both their Spartan Collection and WoH lines, to the butchering of each 343 Halo game release for the past decade and counting, to the disparity in quality between Paramount's Halo show vs Sony's The Last of Us or Bethesda's Amazon Fallout show. The IP has been completely uncared and neglected for for a loooong time now.

[@jonathanoehlert5672]

I saw that and was horrified! I use that website all the time as a reference. Sorely disappointed at the lack of insight for Mega! That hurt a lot. They must rebuild that in a usable format.

[@Wishful83]

I hope we come back from this drought, even if we dont, this community always prevails

[@epickingedward7378]

Damn, I remember how much that helped when I got my halo megablox stuff back out of storage and rebuilt it all, I was missing many instruction….I don’t think i’d still be in megablox if it weren’t for that site, I mean i’m not into lego anymore but for different reasons but similar, that being that theres so many pieces it’s impossible to put them all back together if you don’t spend a week, megablox has also had the perfect blend of not to many pieces, the figures being articulated, but it all being modular like lego, and of course the instructions were always easy to find….that is until now

[@thedomainhalo]

We need to fix this

[@mylf1341]

it’s like the brotherhood of steel but instead of preserving technology it’s mega

[@marcuspage2026]

Perfectly said😭😭😭 it’s so sad the targets in my area no longer even have halo it’s just Pokémon which sits on the shelves which is sure to be next

[@cowerdnerddespacito9518]

If you personally are archiving the sets then please make High quality copies of the sticker sheets! Mega may have copies but I severely doubt they will make them available for us!

[@stickyrice445]

I remember my 10th birthday I got my first xbox one with all the halos and I was so exited. when I got my cake sitting on top was mega fire team osiris, that was my first ever mega figure I remember having I mean I was 8 when I got one set that I barely remember but ever since that birthday I loved halo toys in general, I still have my locke figure to this day but mega has always been in my life since I was 8. I will always love mega even through their mistakes.

[@thedomainhalo]

What a touching message. That’s a heck of a first set too!

[@brianjesus8005]

I loved that you talked about that, I am working on the MEGA WIKI, fortunately I was able to recover the HD photos from the mega construx page But it's sad that they closed the page without notifying the community.

i love this line and i started collecting it when i was like 6 and when i got to 7th grade i stopped collecting it and gave everything i had away but im 16 now and in 10th grade and wanted to get back into it and seeing how much of mega has been lost since i first started collecting is so sad to see and seeing how now at this time any and all websites/ URLs for mega are completely gone and how now it’s nearly impossible to find how to build alternate build instructions for sets after mega pushed so hard for them to be made and sold then just tearing them down and just how difficult it is everywhere to get sets and the ones you find being way too expensive it’s just such a sad sight to see

[@swishthemtails5639]

I am so glad there are people like you who are just as passionate about Halo Mega and are actively working to preserve all of the legacy sets that I personally remember like it was yesterday

[@halo7ification]

I agree, Simon. One of the best features was being able to click on sub-factions. Like ODST type sets. Or I click on the old spec Ops falcon, it shows me other similar sets

[@Jo_Boi_OFFICIAL]

Thank you for letting the community know and sharing your valuable opinions, hope mega puts the site back up

[@anthonypytlinski2224]

Back in the day when I was collecting Matchbox and Hot Wheels, I found quite a bit of books that were well written and had plenty of pictures of all of the older models and their history. I wish either someone or a group of someones like yourself with the access and knowledge to these older sets and the people who designed them would make a book. Websites are great but can be shut down too easily.

[@pittjedi]

If The Domain wants to work with me, I have hundreds of pics of the sets on my site. We could get it done.

[@thedomainhalo]

Wow. You know what, I might do just that.

[@DRlFTUR]

[@SuplexNetwork]

This is sad because this year I wanted to get back into halo mega after about 10 years away. Seems it is next to impossible to find anything in Australia. We used to have a pretty good selection back when I was collecting. Sadly I sold 99% of my collection now

[@raganx7108]

I worked at a Target back in 2009 and they had a Scorpion Tank Display in the backroom and i thought i was to cool to buy a display of a Mega blok set, i regret it to this day.

[@Artsykibo]

Only collected for the last 9/10 months and used that website for wish lists and also to find sets I never knew existed it’s helped me want to collect more and start the hobby because I knew about all the past sets and figures I could get not just the present new ones

[@ricardomartinez8430]

I remember I collected the mega books line when it started and stopped around the time they introduced the new spartan armor system because at the time I couldn’t find it in store and had limited space and ended up putting it away in storage and I’m starting to consider to get some sets now but even then my target is lacking in stock and the selection is minimal

[@davilisboa4238]

I started my collection about a year ago, and here in Brazil, it is very difficult to find Mega Halo sets, my favorites is the elites and I really like the old site with high graphics images for the figures, Mega really needs to make a new one or reactivate the old one and give more updates.

[@Trout24]

Sad news aside, I would love if MEGA made more halo wars 2 banished vehicles that haven’t been made before, the (banished) wraith, (banished) locust, (banished) spirit, methane wagon, super wraith, reaver, bilisterback, shroud, and skitterer (not really a vehicle)

[@JachekyStudios-po7il]

I think Mega should send sets to larger LEGO creators like MandRProductions. He did a review of the Ash and Pikachu set, and it seems like he enjoyed the product! LEGO has been pushing Mega out of stores, and a lot of LEGO fans might actually like Mega if they see what it is now. There is a bit of rivalry between the brands, and I believe that they could coexist. Both are good products, and it would be a shame to see Halo Mega fall.

[@jacosisaba]

I've been collecting since the beginning of the brand, and even before then with Pyrates and Honestly it has been so heartbreaking to collect Mega Halo. No one at the company listens to us. I don't know if it's Mega or Mattel but the voice of the community feels like it's being ignored. Decisions like this honestly make me feel like they just gave up. It used to feel like Mega really valued it's fans and their creations but know we have to beg and beg for them to sell their stuff online. Mega just doesn't care about us or the Halo ip. They have no problem releasing constant Pokemons sets of the same 10 creatures 5 times a year and keeping shelves stocked.

[@jacosisaba]

@minecraftys Please Please don't waist your money buying Mega from scalpers. It's just not worth it. It's rewarding the scumbags who are screwing everyone over while encouraging them to continue. I love Mega figs, but they aren't worth hundreds of Dollars just for multiple of the same figs. You could get so many better figures from different bands.

[@Snipes.Apollo]

Can we use this moment to discuss how mega construx is treating canada?(And by extension a lot of other countries) I mean halo heroes series 14 was the last series we recieved, and for blind bags it was series 3 infinite. We have gotten nothing from the Halo universe toyline besides the box sets like the wombat. That means the entire hero and Blind bag and heroes collection that Mega construx has been advertising to "expand our army" and that Kevin MCX said was "For the fans" is just straight up not available to us, does that mean we're not considered fans? I mean we're being forced to accept Blind bags and heroes as the only way to obtain those figures, and yet we do not even get those things. I don't know how we are even supposed to get those figures at this rate, i've waited years for things to get better with Mega construx by actively buying their products that we do get and it has done nothing to fix the problem. We didn't get the xbox and I doubt we'll ever see guilty spark, that's how dire it's getting...

Will you do a review of the Arctic Burn wasp

[@sheerkhanindustries4384]

Having the archives are so very important. Especially with the fact that we can do pop and swap with these figures. I'm now not gonna want to do pop and swap for fear that if I ever want to put things back to the way they were I won't even have a clue where to start. I've been a collector since the mid-seventies of both toys and comet books. These are the greatest toys I've ever seen and that's why at my age I collect them. But when you collect comic book toys you still always have the comic books for information. The information for these toys are now gone and that is an incredibly sad move. I never bought these toys because I'm a Halo fan I never bought these toys because I'm a Halo fan. I bought them because I was a mega fan of what they did. And now I'm gonna lose all the archives for the toys which was part of the allure in the first place for me. This is a very Bad move have several that mega has made over the last couple of years

[@John.S.Patton]

So you dont have any boxes of the sets or the instructions?

[@sheerkhanindustries4384]

I collected the front and back panels off of all the boxes my first 6 or 7 years. But that stuff takes up a lot of space. So once we have popped in swaps I just looked at the listings on the Mega site if I wanted to return any figures back to the original version . The site also helped with knowing which weapons went to who.
