Mega bloks please make a Washington's troop pack, that includes George Washington, two Continental Army soldiers, and Benedict Arnold. Then collectors can reenact the revolutionary war, and their favorite TV show Turn Washington's spies.

I'm down for the UNSC Barracks, seeing as the recent (ish) UNSC firebase set introduced us to a mix-and-match configuration for the walls and corners, Mega Bloks has an opportunity to sell individual base componets such as walls, defense turrets, barracks, vehicle depots, air pads, and a main headquarters to top it off.
There are a few things I worry about however, some of them are kinda weird since I doubt they would do it, but it's still calling to attention.
Firstly, if they do make a barracks set, I would hope it'd either be quite large and fit close to 25-40 humans, or it would be a little on the small side, but easily affordable so I can mass it.
Secondly, on the topic of massing it, I hope Mega Bloks doesn't put any specialist designs on the walls that don't need to be there (Graffiti, or anything that may seem exclusive), that way it can be mass produced, but I would hate having to build some barracks that all have the same layout of papers on a bulletin board on the walls of all the barracks. I don't know how to put this exactly. Lets say one the outside of the barracks (or any building at all) that there's this print that's suppossed to be a wanted poster for Jul 'Mdama, it has some specialist design to it, 'Mdama's face has been crossed out or there's a tear in the side of the poster, that kinda thing isn't gonna happen to every poster in a base, not every single wanted poster is going to have the exact same tear on the same exact corner. I think I've been getting too detailed with this, lemme know if you guys what I'm getting at or not.
Thirdly, this is a mistake I noticed [competitor] does. If you're gonna give me a barrack with twelve beds in them, don't give me twelve figures to fill them up. The whole reason I'd buy this set is so I could house the army I already have, if you give me just enough troops to fill out all the beds, then your current army isn't gonna be able to rest up unless you mass buy the barracks and get rid of the figures.
Fourthly, don't give us figures that really can't be mass produced. I can deal with more marines like from Sierra squad, (In fact now that I think of it, that would fit perfectly) since they can be mass produced, none of them have any special designs on them, they're just ordinary run-off-the-mill soldiers. You cannot, however mass produce Emile or Dutch figures cause they both got unique designs exclusive to them. (This sorta fits with the second one I mentioned, in case I explained it any better)
Fifthly, if they make a Barracks and if they are gonna go for my idea (I'm not taking credit for it, I'm sure Mega Bloks has already thought of it, I'm just mentioning it without any knowledge of their intentions), then I would like to see alongside the Firebase gate and Barracks some more structures:
Standard Wall- Pretty Straight forward.
Standard Corner- Much like the corner installments in the Firebase set
Armory- A building with a ton of weapons
Vehicle Depot/Garage- Someplace to store/repair vehicles.
Defense Turrets- Uhm... I guess it could be a Standard corner installation, but just with a big gun on top
Air Pads- Air Paids much like the air pad from that NMPD Pelican set
Headquarters- A relatively large, complex building to serve as the main base within the Firebase's walls
Reactor- A pretty big structure to simulate powering the firebase
Watchtower Wall- A standard wall, but with a watchtower
Watchtower Corner- A standard corner, but with a watchtower
Prison ward- A hallway that attaches to a headquarters module
Medical ward- A hallway for injured spartans and Marines that attaches to a headquartes module
Garage- A garage for vehicles (paricularly Warthogs) to park that attaches to a headquarters module
Labratory- A chamber that is used to invent new weapons for the UNSC that attaches to a headquarters module
Obstacle Course- A inter-changable track that has nets, scaling walls, shooting ranges, and other junk for the noob rookies
Sixthly, if they go with the Armory, please give us a TON of weapons, give us like, two of every UNSC weapons ever molded (Unless it's an older mold, like the over-sized SMG or the Rocket Launcher with only one handle bar). But like 2 Battle Rifles, 2 Assault Rifles, 2 DMRs, 2 Tactical Shotguns, 2 Normal Shotguns, 2 Sticky Detonators, 2 SPNKr Rocket Launchers, 2 Halo 5 Rocket Launchers, 2 Magnums, 2 Socoms, 2 SMGs, 2 Suppressed SMGs, 2 Hydra Gyroc Launchers, 2 SAWs, 2 Sniper Rifles, 2 Sp. Lasers, 2 Grenade Launchers, 2 Railguns, 2 Assault Shields, 2 Flamethrowers, and maybe a few katanas in case someone's got some Hayabusas deployed at the base. Whew. There are a lot of weapons, aren't there. I hadn't realized until now, I'm certain I left some weapons out, too. Ehh, I think you got the point. (Actually, maybe less unconventional weapons and more rifles, eh, it don't matter, as long as we a boatload of weapons.
Seventhly, this isn't really a worry I have, it's just something I would absolutely LOVE to see happen, if the set is released, since it's supposed to be a room that invents new weapons, maybe you can reveal a new weapon or armor from Halo 6 through a new gun mold that is currently being "tested" at the lab. Sorta like how Mega Bloks got the honor of revealing the Phaeton came out to the world before the game came out, maybe this set can reveal a new gun or armor that will debut in Halo 6.

Not going to give anything away here, but I must say I'm enjoying finding out how you guys predict our future releases. ;P

What if for destiny, they created large engrams in a variety of prices. There would be uncommon engrams as the cheapest, and exotic engrams as the most expensive. Also, they should do faction packs with gear from the factions.

I like the Spartans and the build apart from that turret. For two reasons the actual turret and the unsc logo on the shield
