interesting how best buy seems to be getting into toy retail. That will be nice for folks to have one more place to go look. Still bummed about my at-st though, that Mandalorian one was way overpriced.

On the front page with this info.

I am usually against toylines pumping out cheap repaints as they are lazy cash grabs, but I am actually hoping Wicked Cool Toys/Jazwares does repaints in the "Halo" line as almost all of the Covenant troop types have multiple colorways while still having the same digital model.

Grunts traditionally come in orange (which we got in the 2pk with the Marine), red (shown as a prototype at the 2020 Toy Fair), blue (coming in wave 2) and yellow.

Elites usually pop up in yellow/gold (like we got in the Ghost set, Amazon 3pk and the upcoming wave 2 release), red, blue and purple.

Jackals usually have armor in blue (like the single figure), red and grey (shown as a prototype at the 2020 Toy Fair).

Brutes have gold (Chieftain like in the 2pk with MC), red (single pack Captain), blue and grey.

There may be other colors that I am missing, but you can see where I am going with this. They can use a slot in each wave for a Covenant troop recolor (hopefully with a different weapon each time) and I will not complain. They can use the money saved on tooling to expand the range with other Covenant troop types like Drones that usually only show up in 1 color or for individual characters like the Arbiter.

Jazwares/Wicked Cool Toys "Halo" Covenant figures with McFarlane weapons:

They scale nicely save for the tiny plasma rifles (not McFarlane, but the original license holder whose name escapes me at the moment), but here they come off more like plasma sub machineguns which works for me!

Today I hit 3 Walmarts and 4 Targets.

An observation:

I think the "Halo" line is on its way out as all of the Targets had the entire line on clearance. Prices varied from store to store as they do not seem to be doing their markdowns at the same time.

Single figures (including the recently released wave 2): $4.99 - $6.99 (regular retail is $9.99)

2pks: $9.99 - $13.99 (regular retail in $19.99)

Target exclusive 3pk: $14.99 - $19.99 (regular retail is $29.99)

Warthog: $14.99 - $19.99 (regular retail is $24.99)

Hopefully this is just to clear out old stock and make way for wave 3, but I have my doubts as the stock doesn't seem to move very often :(

I just hope wave 3 makes it out before they can the line as the shield Jackals are finally coming. They should have come in wave 1 instead of the sniper Jackals as they are more iconic.
