Mega Signs Licensing Deal With Blizzard
Not gonna lie, I'm excited for this
Ok that's hilarious...I was just saying recently how cool something like this might be.
The Halo sets and figures, although neat in their own right, dont interest me much. I actually said that they should do Diablo sets, because my mindset was that you could build random dungeons. But WoW isn't far off from that. And Starcraft? I hope they sell the little figures in packs, like with the Halo ones. I want a little army of Space marines and Zerg on my desk.
Ok...I'm surprisingly stoked. I can't wait to see how they turn out.
Man, these are going to be fantastic.
Imagine the Zergs.
