Mega Bloks #PowerRangersMegaMural @ San Diego Comic-Con Timelapse

5 days – 200,000 fans – 1 mural – the Power Rangers Mega Mural! During SDCC 2012 we asked fans o help us build a GIANT Power Rangers Mural made from Mega Bloks. After the mural was completed we donated it to a local organization that works with families dealing with Autism, Motiva Associates.

Mega Bloks Signature Series — Forward Unto Dawn

To celebrate four years building Halo, set #117 is the first in our new Mega Bloks Signature Series — Forward Unto Dawn. This legendary UNSC frigate has been recreated in precise detail using over 2700 pieces. It includes four new figures, including the legendary Master Chief with a deluxe paint job and a to-scale light-up Cortana. The frigate’s outer walls can be removed to expose the control station, armoury, and the iconic Cryo-Chamber.

There’s even more, so check out the video to see all of this set’s amazing features — we hope you’ll love it.
