Yeah I just went ahead with BBTS for now as $215 doesn't sound bad. These pictures look amazing so far.

Cool. Which one did you buy? I take it this is the retailer ver you bought.

Yeah, that's the only one I saw for PO and it's fine with me.

Well after I PO'ed Master Chief I went ahead and found Carter and Emile on Evilbay and I also picked up the Bambaland version of Carter for only $199. Now if only I can find the recruit after he comes out. Can't believe he was only on the ThreeA site for 2 weeks....damn you gotta jump quick on these bad boys huh?

Nice, I hope Master Chief doesn't become the gateway figure to me wanting all of Noble Team as well. Has there been any rumors of a Noble Six? I wouldn't mind owning him.

Wow! Very nice. Thats a good price on that bambaland Commando. Will you be chasing after the bambaland Eva? (The one that came out at the same time as Emile)

MC will have different undersuits comapred to the noble team. However the noble team is great and the prices for these arent that bad at all. No news about the next one in line though. I wouldnt mind a Grunt though so MC can fight against.

They've already shown a prototype for Jorge at SDCC last year I believe, and apparently an Elite has been in the works for some time now.

If I can find Eva...I would.
Really want to get that Bambaland Recruit figure...the paint scheme just sings to me. The MC I pre-Order is the standard edition which I can live without the extra gun because that exclusive rifle is not one that I would pose him with anyway...nice to have?? Hells to the yes, but not heartbreaking. An Elite??? Really....That would be insane. When I just read that I think I just pee'ed myself a little.

Good luck finding Eva. I skipped all the previous bambaland specials cos they didnt stand out to me. I was happy with the main Reach members. However I got the special gun for MC as that looked cool and it will light up. Plus for the first time I will see if I can also get the Recruit figure as well after release. For some reason I like this new suit and I remember these in the game as well.

Theres a member here a few pages back call spizzness. I will see if I can help him with getting a recruit after release. I live in HK so chances are these specials will get released in the shops, either the retailer getting them directly from the supplier or through their own 3AA acc. Of course they will markup a little for their own. So if you interested I can look out for you as well. I told spizzness to PM me nearer the time. Its not a certain thing, but its an option. Will see come April time.

Yeah I think the recruit is going to be in big demand, he looks awesome. Especially because multiple recruits fight alongside you in Halo 4, it'd make for a great squad to have either side of the MC figure, more so then any other figure.

I know....might be a pipe dream....even at a decent price.

God yes brother - I would be all over that if you can help, I'm in...in a heartbeat!

For the MC experts, which MC is this figure based off of? Halo 4?

Yeah and from teasers it looks like Halo 5 will be using the same armour, no re-design, at least none as big as Halo 4's, so it's good it'll still be current when 5 releases this year. Page 100 hype!

Hey all, I'm a big Halo fan and just discovered 3A's figures very recently. Their quality floored me, only problem is now nothing else will do after seeing how great these are. I spent an hour reading through this entire thread, was a great read but didn't do much to quell my appetite for these figures!

I'm based in the UK, and am currently looking into prices and shipping costs for Master Chief. Any other UK based posters here able to offer some advice or recommend a shop for a complete noobie to all this? My first mistake was seeing how much the figure would cost through the official Halo store - with shipping to the UK it ended up being £238, which apparently equals $367... Needless to say I decided to keep looking! In comparison the Sideshow Collectables price is more much appealing, but the pre-order price doesn't have the shipping cost yet. Any idea how much a 1/6th figure usually costs to ship from them? Many thanks!

Here is probably a good starting point. I have multiple orders with this site but yet to actually get anything (they are all pre orders) but comms from the site is very good and their prices are mostly untouchable within the UK.

Alternatively, thegoodthebadandtherobots.co.uk are pretty good and also good for communication/support. Then there are the Forbidden Planet sites (co.uk & .com) They usually obscenely overprice figures but occasionally have good deals - I got Dark World Thor for £150.

Cool thanks for those, I didn't realise there was such a choice for UKers. I've also come across One Sixth Bruce and idtoys.co.uk. Putting my MC pre order down soon... it begins!

My Bambaland Exclusive came in today. Another amazing piece.

Damn, those look so sweet. I'm just patiently waiting for MC, and would love to get an ODST Soldier and Noble Six, but that Carter is very tempting but I know I'll want all of Noble Team if I do pick him up
