Deadpool Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I just got word from Diamond that the Halo Prophets set has been canceled. They did not say why. Anyone seeming surprised by this was obviously WAY more excited about buying three nigh-identical and extremely ugly minimates along with the 4th Master Chief than I could ever muster, and I love Halo.

Punisher Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) I would much have them in 2 packs as I was planning on waiting until i could find the set dirt cheap anyway. A box set of 3 static character repaints and a re-release isn't appealing enough to sell. Edited January 12, 2011 by Punisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Back on topic more, TRU just sent me a notification that half the items that were on special order have shipped. The other half is showing in stock now. GH, was this from an intial order way back in November? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I just checked TRU.com. The second half of the order I placed way back when is now listed as in stock as opposed to special order. Still not shipped, but I guess that should happen soon. It's a good thing too as these have disappeared from local retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the ' New Minimate Halo ' plan going to be that we weren't going to get umpteen repaints of the same ol' same ol' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 ...wow. i REALLY wanted these guys...Well, that sucks. Hope this isn't a "prophecy" for the overall line. Someone get me a Book of Pythia, stat!!!! Wait...wrong line, wrong prophecy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 BSG Minimates are amongst my favourites but hey c'mon they weren't actually 'cancelled' they'd just run their course......I think Halo has some legs yet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveOMac Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I cannot believe the prophets got canceled. When I saw that box set in convinced me to get any Halo mates period. Very disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjasontodd Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 maybe there was an issue with the mold for these? Or really bad QC issues? I hope they replace this with a box set of grunts or brutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What DID you see? Because I have to be honest, that was the most boring looking box-set I've ever seen, and I've seen the 24 Season 2 box-set.

mrjasontodd Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Here is my Halo diorama (so far). I am awaiting more bad guys from the dump and box set I had ordered to make the "battle" seem less one sided. The street ruins came from Luke's. I was playing around with a photo app on my phone but if you want clear normal pics let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 TRU.com has 12 sets of the UNSC Soldier/ODST Active Camo in-stock, for those that are looking for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 From Left - End of Day 2 Jack Bauer, Assault Gear T-800, TRU Starbuck, Battle Damaged War Machine, Terminator 2 SWAT Officer, and the remaining three are unchanged out of the package (though, I gave Johnson the shotgun from the Series 1 Box Set): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael McGowan Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Awesome! These look great and it makes me glad that I didn't get any of the mega bloks sets! Can't wait for these. As much as I hate mega blocks the halo mates go well with the mega block mates vehicles, I may get some im2 mega block sets now that they're being clearanced out, so I can make dioramas.

buttheadsmate Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'd love some of those Mega Bloks Halo ships .....just saying They are available here but the prices ,as always,are prohibitive.....I love them but not that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Minimates are almost twice the size of the Megabloks figures. There's no way they'd work with the vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 They fit nicely with those McFarlane little vehicles they first came out with. The Ghost at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that ,I never realised & assumed that they were Minimate compatible like the Mega Bloks ships etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
