Review: Hero Pack Series 3

I was finally able to finish tearing open my Series 3 packs, and thankfully I managed to get the whole series. Read on for an in-depth photo review of the latest Halo micro action figs!

Blue Covenant Brute w/ Spiker (Common)

Wow! I find the Brute’s face looks so life-like in this release. The matte blue is great!

Yellow UNSC Marine — Assault Rifle (Common)

Arctic UNSC Pilot w/ Pistol (Common)

I really love the design of the Pilot armor, and it looks great in this snowy white contrasted with khaki grey.

Orange UNSC Spartan w/ Spiker (Common)

This isn’t the first time we’ve released an orange Spartan — there’s one in the Brute Prowler set as well — but the distressing on this one is a bit different.

Copper Covenant Grunts w/ Plasma Pistol and Plasma Grenade

Wow, it’s two figs! Since Grunts are really no good on their own, you’ll find two in your pack if you get them! Just make sure they don’t blow up.

Yellow Covenant Elite Pilot w/ Energy Sword (Rare)

Have you ever seen a color wheel? Yellow and blue are complimentary colors, which is why they look so good together! This Elite certainly isn’t sneaking up on anyone like that, though.

Cyan UNSC CQB Spartan w/ Pistol (Rare)

Hot on the heels of the infamous Cyan Spartan is the Cyan CQB Spartan! It’ll be a bit easier for you guys to get this one, and honestly it looks just as good — if not better!

Active-Camo Covenant Elite w/ Energy Sword (ULTRA RARE)

Oh, here it finally is … the Ultra Rare of Series 3 — the Active-Camo Elite! You only have a 1/24 of getting it, but don’t give up! This is seriously the best looking Active-Camo yet, in my humble opinion.

So, that’s it! Here’s my results of opening 24 packs:

  • 1x Active-Camo Elite (UR)
  • 2x Yellow Elite Pilot (R)
  • 3x Cyan CQB Spartan (R)
  • 4x Blue Brute (C)
  • 5x Orange Spartan (C)
  • 4x Arctic Pilot (C)
  • 3x Grunts (6 Grunts total) (C)
  • 2x Yellow Marine (C)

Wow! I got really lucky with 3x Cyan CQB! I didn’t want so many Orange Spartans though … oh well! I’m sure I can find someone to trade with for some other figs that I want. Make sure you guys do the same, and let me know what figs you got in your packs in the comments.

  1. snipershotxd

    i have the grunts the pilot the brute yellow elite 2 cyan cqb spartans and the orange spartan i still wish series 3 was still in stores

  2. Juzahi

    i think the ac elite is the best yet 2. i only have 2 though. i would have more but my walmart had 1 box and never sold again.
    but now i have series 5 and i think its the best yet guys good job!!!

  3. James997

    I have the arctic pilot. I wondered where it came from, cuz I got from a friend. I don’t really like the tan spots on the inside of the legs and arms. It’s more of a desert color than arctic.

  4. maggpe

    I really like elites but the only reason im dissapointed when I get them is because basiclly every elite has the same weapon, the energy sword. I have 4 elites and 3 of them have energy swords.

    Oh and why is the elite flight’s sword clear?

  5. maggpe

    I only brought 3 and I got the ultra rare, One rare and one common :) . Its funny because out of all the hero packs I’ve ever collected most of them are rare and not common. I really wanted the grunt’s because I still dont have any grunt’s

  6. Shadow114

    I got one and I found an energy sword but got a set with a pistol in it instead well the pistol was a spiker… on christmas i got a yellow marine

  7. gzilla1954

    the active camo elite looks sooooo good. when i finaly found the packs i grabed 6 of them thinking i would never get the ac elite but the first pack i opened i got him !!! for series four they should make an active camo hunter or hyabussa spartan.

  8. Davz

    I had the codes… but they’re old… :( I had for the 51 and 61 series (all part of Series 3) Now they’re all ending in 81… Lucky for me I was able to find an old pack hidden amongst the new.. the AC Elite! Cool beans.

    Here’s what I found out about the new ones:
    A22081MM: Yellow UNSC Marine
    A16081MM: Cyan UNSC CQB Spartan

    I tried to pick mine by going through the packs that were there and picking out the ones that had unique codes, I saw a ton of 17s, 15s and 19s, and a few 23s and 18s.

  9. BrigadeGamer

    I am a wargamer and I am collecting the Mega Blok HALO figs, vehicles andaircraft.

    Does anyone know who else games with these items?

    I was told that someone did a Whammer 40k-like codex for these figs. Does anyone have a link to these?

    Thanks, BrigadeGames

  14. Spartan952

    I got the yellow Elite pilot, yellow marine, and 4 grunts. [tip for everyone} : if you want the one you want shake the bag and try to feel the weapon so you know what it is. It worked for me!

  15. Supreme_Commander_Aidan

  21. SniperSpartanPro

    These series 3 blind packs are much better than the series 2 blind packs! The series 2 pack had alot of feminine colors and the first series 2 pack I opened had… You guessed it, THE PINK HAYABUSA! Oh man! I laughed be booty off for 5 minuets! So funny!
    ( that one is making it in my video for the contest )

  22. jacob55smith

    I already have 1, the orange spartan,
    I don’t know about other states, but so far in Washington the only store I know has one is Fred Meyers, Walmart and Target still have season 2

  23. Alita_99

    I found and picked up four packs of the series 3 today. I got one yellow Marine, one white pilot, and two blue brutes.

    Kinda lame the yellow Marine doesn’t come with a backpack like all the other Marines have in the past.

  24. MasterChef

    Can’t wait for them to get released where i live! Hopefully I’ll get the active camo elite in my first pack like the active camo flame marine! :)

  26. narayan

    I just got a couple at target earlier.Got a yellow marine and yellow elite. Glad they decided to actually put grunts somewhere. there the most common soldiers in the covenant, right?

  27. OrangeHayabusaSpartan

    Jackhigginz- Personally I would get the Rockethog (Arctic warthog). I don’t really collect arctic sets but in one of the HMB toyfair vids on youtube this lady said that if you have a spare warthog you can connect it with the upcomming set “EVA’s Last Stand” to make a Deasert camo warthog. The thing with both Wolverines is that they come with one purple hunter each, I think the idea is to get both…but the choise is all yours really.

  28. jackhigginz

    Random Question: Which shold I get?

    UNSC Wolverine: (I done mind which color it is)

    or…

    UNSC Arctic Warthog?

    The Arctic Warthog is cheaper but I really can’t choose. Any Ideas?

  29. dececerio16

    i got the white poilot, o i got a odst ambush. comes with odst thats blue. a brute that has a jet pack and a granade. spiker granade. and a silenst smg. (spellings bad)

  30. Hayabusa20

    Those will be good on my battlescape! Ive already got 3 different color warthogs, Gremlin, Pelican, Battlescape, Wraith, B2 Turrets, Mongoose, Aerial Ambush, Scorpian, 3 Drop pod’s, All of SEries 3, 2 UNSC Combat Units, 2 Cov Units and heaps of custom vehicles I need those Orange Spartans, CQB, AC Elite, Yellow Marine and Pilots!!!

  31. hedshOt

    the standerd squad ratio for the covenant is 3-4 to 1 for grunts\jackal infantry\skirmisr to elite\brute.
    a squad may be 4 grunts (3 minor[yellow]and one major[red]) to one elite minor. If there are 2 squads close by there may be an elite major nearby(red in all games exept reach, where it is a golden orange\copper color. Some times you will find a group of grunts led by a grunt ultra (white)

  32. elitefan4ever

    Hey I have not been on in a long time but if you want to now where you can get some here are the two (2) stores I know you can buy them for 2.99 each. Now time for the stores 1st store Target 2nd store Walmart.

  33. hedshOt

    you could just feel-up the paks to help predict wats in ther but you will have a hard time distiquishing the yellow elite flight and the camo elite…

  34. hedshOt

    they said they were the last ones…
    I got them just last week along with a battlescape and a rocket warthog. (the battle scape is actually quite small… if you measure it in warthogs and build it in forge it takes 3 seconds to walk across it and is at plasma repeater range from one end to the other.)
    I also got the new arctic combat unit and the haryuba spartan looks cool withe sniper

  35. billbo1

    Wow! These look amazing! found them in toys r us but got the 10th anniversary UNSC weapon pack instead. Wish I’d paid more attention to the characters would have got some :)

  36. LongShot11

    Isn’t there a numeric code for each package? I’m currently interested (<– extremely) in the grunts, already having the cyan spartan, active camo elite, and arctic pilot. Two grunts is most definitely enough for my collection, and I need quite a few for my toymation.

  37. Thornstar

    With the miles of comments i dont know if you will see this. I have a blue UNSC Flame Marine that im willing to trade for somthing acceptable

  38. issay

    hey Halorockstar10 i also live in california and i would like you to tell me where you get them and maybe where you live so i can find one of the halo series 3

  39. starzilla83

    @nickwenn i don’t this they sell them anymore but if they do i think you can get them at walmet.i think i saw them there awile ago

  40. starzilla83

    2 things.
    1, i (for some reason) really want the yellow elite and marine.
    and 2, this is the only minifigure pack that dosen’t have a hayabusa in it.
    series 1 had a blue 1 and series 2 had a pink 1 which i got!

  41. reachreborn

    i have all the active camo to date and all of them together i had to spend over 100$ to get them and now i am gonna hate finding the elite

  42. MrPwn3rface

    Wow the Cyan CQB is awsome but i think the artic pilot has the most detail and it is my favorite combo 2 marine and pistol Uuuh rahh

  43. rahkshifan99

    I’m back, and I’ve cracked the code! Okay, so on the block of each minifigure is a code that corresponds to the same code on the bag. It’s hard to see, but tilt it in the light and you’ll get it. For example, in series 2, the Red Spartan’s code is A01110MM. This code is on the back right side of the bag. Now to anyone who gets series 3 figs, please post the code of the minifig’s brick so we can get what we want. Although this will probably be removed, at least someone at MEGA knows that…I’m just a big curious clever nerd.

  44. spartan103will

    just got 5 of those they r gr8 and 2.50 a pack i got blue cqb yellow marine orange spartan two grunts and arctic pilot i want much more but check your local target thats where i got em

SO to every fan of halo legos get to target first thing. p.s toys r us wil not get them till august walmart mabye but target is the best soulotion

  46. scarabgeneral117

  47. ChillTjal

    But you can also get an orange Spartan when you buy the covenant brute prowler and than he has a sniper, you have two brutes and the brute prowler.

  54. roxas57

  55. annoyinggrunt21

    :( i cant really give away my stuff. my mom dosnt like me trading or giving away stuff because most of it is with her own money.the only things i have gotten with the money i earn is figures i dont have yet. and i just started a stop motion that has all my figures in it so i cant give away anything at this moment. ive got this really cool part at the ending at the end of the stop motin.

  56. superspartan12

    for the next series they should have a copper elite, purple hyabusa, yellow brute, yelow elite,green hyabusa,orange odst,yellow odsts, artic brute and elite green cqbs,purple cqbs, blue marines copper spartans blue recon spartans i have plenty more ideas.

  57. hayabusa332

    big grunty thirst two come in one pack this is for megabloks are you making series 4 i have all of the series pack units from series 1 2 and 3

  58. assaultspartan01

    its easy 2 find the rare items. at meijer 2day right off the back i found the purple unsc spartan and the pink hayabussa im very great at finding out wat it is in the package even workers at the stores says wow!!!!

  59. Kaboom

    they should have made the pelican compatable with the warthogs. that would be awsome. or make a warthog that can clip onto the pelican. i love the playability

  60. halokyd117

    hey brad you should make a quiz contest and the winners get series 3 halo mini figs.the people who get the most questions correct gets a mini fig. and i also would love a cyan cqb spartan and an active camo elite.i bet if you make a contest like i reccomended i could get all of the answers correct!

  61. caboose35

    i like ever single one exept for the brute and orange spartan

    p.s. i really really want the clear sword, black assult riffle, black magnum, and the granade

  62. morg1807

    @InvisibleElite:
    Try calling your retailer (where you got it from) for a refund or another spartan. If all else fails, call our Mega Bloks Customer Helpline.

  63. annoyinggrunt21

    if u didnt see the last post i said i needed to earn money
    by walking dogs or pulling weeds, jobs like that for 5 $ an hour.i said people can even give less than 5 if i do a pour job.

  64. annoyinggrunt21

    any way what figs do u have.ive got 5 green spartans, 6 red spartans, 3 pink hyubusa, 3 blue elites,1 red flight elite, one copper custom paint flight elite,3 green marines, 3 red marines, 3 purple & 1 red brute, 2 active camo hell bringers, 2 red and blue hell bringers, and 2 purple spartans. thats about 34 halo characters. and ive don’t even have half of a covenant army yet.all i need is hunters, jackles, and grunts.

  65. annoyinggrunt21

    thanks for offering to give me a copper flight elite if u get another slimshady2617, but i custom painted one of my red.i was just saying that i never had luck finding a copper flight elite until i found the 2 red ones. sense i posted that i got 2 red but no copper flight elite i relized that i can do one of my custom paints.

  66. Arkangel

    Gotta get the cyan spartan at any cost, obviously root around for the AC elite, orange spartan and grunts.
    I’m gonna try to stockpile grunts and try to get at least one of the rarer ones

  67. SPARTAN3Project

    They look great! Hope the paint jobs are nice, a few of the figs I have got lately had pretty sloppy paint jobs… But I have faith in you, Mega Brands!

  68. annoyinggrunt21

    first get some playdough.then sunflower yellow paint. and of course a mini fig. first get a ball of playdough an encase most of the lower arm of the fig. make sure to leave a space () playdough and elbow joint. then paint the arm.quickly take a tiny piece of playdough and make fingers. paint them as well. after that attach them to the hand paint 4 times over the area connecting the hand and fingers then for the head take a tiny ball of playdough and turn it into a hill shape.then remove the characters head and pain ti neck joint and the hill shaped ball.then take the haed and smush it in the side or the playdough part of the head.then make 3 nubs and place on right side of fig when facing u.genly paint them and let it dry.then u got a flood character.u can ad details if u want.i really want to see how some peps turns out

  69. HaloMaster11

    Can you get them in the box and can you send more to alberta canada airdrie because we rarely get blind packs up here let alone series 3

  70. slimshady2617

    this weekand my mom or dad is taking me to tarket to buy the last three guys so i can to complet the series two if i clean my moms car :)

  71. annoyinggrunt21

    they really need to make prophets and flood.i made custom flood megabloks figs, but i cant get the prophets
    right. thats why they need to make flood and prophet mini figs. so i dont have to cusomize my figs.

  72. annoyinggrunt21

    thew only figs i really want is the blue cqb and 2 grunt packs.GRUNTS ARE AWSOME. the only covenat species i dont have is grunts, jackles, and hunters. that is all i need to complete my covenant army.

  73. RAWRS

    For series 4, could you you put in a black elite ranger with a jetpack and spike rifle and/or a grey zealot with dual plasma repeaters? Plz! I really like the elites.

  74. annoyinggrunt21

    it would be really cool to have a hunter using active camo and sneak up on a person. All he would need to do is raise his arm then go SLAMMMMMM! that would be
    SO AWSOME!

  75. annoyinggrunt21

    i really like how they have an active camo elite,a blue cqb, and a pack that comes with 2 grunts.im really excited about the grunts because i dont have any especially with the C.Q.B too.

  76. Commander_Malander

    Hey guys,if you knew about CmmdMalander he was my old account,but i forgot his password and all.i was going to make a new account anyways so no worries ^-^

  77. KillerSpartan88

    Well, I haven’t commented in a while.P.S., Mega blocks why don’t you answer our questions by commenting anymore?P.S.S., I finally finished my halo battle scape scene but my mom won’t let me use her Facebook account.Chow.

  78. benjones1998

    i have a halo elite pilot action figure that looks exactly like the yellow/blue elite that is in the new series! i also like the CQB and the arctic pilot. will there be a arctic spartan?

  79. RogueT96

    Is there a way to order the whole package (the set of all 24 of them) like you had? Or do I have to play the guessing game like in Series 1 and 2?

  80. Hit1Kill2

    Who ever was wondering what happened to Jun, Jun was hit with a Massive amount of concussion plasma, that his pelican crashed and he died.

  81. littleb03395

  85. DudeFish1

    This is awesome! I urgently want the cyan cqb cos I have the red one and I want to create a cqb squad. It would be awesome if I had one of those ones!!! =]

  86. theGummaster

    ho ho ho!! i am SO going to get ever fig!
    although i might get double the grunt packs in stead of getting the orange sparten, and i REALLY want that activ-camo-eliet i just got halo 2 and there AWESOME !!!

    i can not wait till these are in canada!
    but i always have trouble finding the packs in stores, so were can i find em??
    also i noticed that he edited out the codes 4 these guys smart!

  87. itzbubba117

    they look immense, i would have thought the yellow marine was a rare cause it looks unusual and like you wouldnt find alot of them.That flight elite is bezing aswell as the activecamo elite i cant wait until their release :)

  88. ClokedPredator

    I just got some serise 2 figuers and i got the ultra rare cloaked flame spartian and i cant wait to get one of these serise 3 packages and hopefully get the rarest too.

  89. Austin2234a

    I got a orange spartan w spiker and cqb and ac elite in the. Mail today!! The orange Spartan I am willing to trade for 2 green flame marines !

  90. elitezealot117

    I Need Grunts and lots of them. And hopefully they will make more of the new elite head mold. The pictures were unclear. Hopefully some Zealots are in the future as well. And maybe a Master Cheif mail in. I have so many ideas. oh and flood… lots of them. And some more reach stuff… I can’t stop thinking of the possibilities.

  91. Marsh

    Very cool. I plan on getting 4 packs of grunts, 2 Cyan CQBS, 2 AC Elites, 2 Yellow Elite Flights, 2 Yellow Marines, 1 Arctic Pilot and I’m won’t be very happy if I get an Orange Spartan or a Blue Brute as I already have those figures from the prowler and desire no more of either. If I feel a Spiker in the bag I’ll be skipping over :D
