Here's a list of the new sets from the website. Some of these may have already been seen before-hand. (I think I saw the Neo-Shifter base thingie at K-Mart a few months back.)

(man it was a pain in the butt pulling these off MegaBlock's website.)

That looks awesome. I've got one from the first design but skipped the second because not enough had changed and I didn't like the propeller-guns that they had, but I'll probably be getting this one.

 

Although I still haven't gotten one of those two-packs with actual vehicle modes in addition to the spheres. I should get on that one of these days.

Oh wow, I didn't know there was a thread about these! I had seen them in stores, but did not know if I wanted to shell out the money sight unseen...

 

That said, I have been a long-time supporter of their Dragons line. I guess I should've trusted these, looking through the pics.

im going to pick three of theese things when i go to wall-mart tommorow

I'm diggin' Sentai & Tar. I'm also a bit interested in the Split Shifter set. As for the base thingie, I wasn't really interested in it due to lack of space, but Megablocks did a pretty good job at the photography for the website. I'm kinda tempted. :redface

I think Simia and Nova look the most enticing to me. Not to crazy about the translucent stuff on the legs of the other ones... and some of the color combos are screwing with my head.

 

Wish I had gotten one of the old ones... but I totally forgot about them... maybe there are some laying around a wallyworld clearance isle... I know what I'm doing on my lunch break!

Just noticed the new sets on the website the other day, but I haven't seen any in store yet. Think I'm more likely to get a Paladin (Kinda like how they're more tube-like than spherical) than Templar. Probably end up with one each anyways.

 

Also, has anyone picked up a Megablocks Struxx set? Saw them at TRU recently and thought they might make for useful kitbash fodder. They're just a bit out of my impulse buy range and the base kit is larger than what I'd usually pick up for parts, so I've passed on them so far.

Yeah, late last night I went and picked up 3 of these -- white and blue miniguys (one of each mold, in other words) and the blue of the original guys. I like 'em, but I can see this being one of those things where I only buy one of each mold. The newest ones aren't out yet, but I REALLY like their aesthetic. And they weren't exactly easy to put together, although I'm not sure if that was the model's fault or the poor pictures.

 

Also, that rubber band on the wing shells is going to kill me, I swear.

I just got back from one of the Wal-Marts here. The little Neo-Shifters were on clearance for $5. (If I had the money with me, I'd probably of got the Dune vehicle.) Not much to report besides that, other than they were re-doing their aisles, so they were pretty bare.

Oh, those are interesting. They kind of remind me a little bit of how the Stikfas/Xevoz figures are done. (Hope Mr. J Bany doesn't sue on account of the Stikfa Dinosaurs.) I'll have to keep an eye out for 'em. Hope to find the alien ones. ...and maybe the Dinosaur ones, to mixn'match.
