Cheers, I got lucky on a few of the sets being discounted like the 2 claws which are in the post were only £4.99 each from argos with free postage but they have the same set on a different catalogue number still at £19.99.

Wow lucky!

I noticed that you have many still boxed, same here.
Do you have any of them on display?

Some of them are but not as how I would like at the minute although I will be opening them all and then displaying them properly, I have some diy to do once I get some time off work then I can sort things out but trying to get time off is a nightmare we are about 2 or 3 drivers down so they have stopped holidays for the time being.
Drove past Trus again today and they had 2 Rappel, 2 Turret and 1 Motorbike breakout which I had never seen on the shelf before so I picked one of each up and another Battalion. I now have £20 in vouchers so I will probably pick something else up with them tomorrow.

Sweet. Upload some pictures to the fan gallery once you get them displayed.
I really like seeing the full view of peoples collections. It's nice to see them in their "natural habitat"

About a year ago I bought the Light Armor Firebase when it was on sale, to see if these Mega Bloks bricks were compatible with my sizeable competitor collection. Within a minute of opening the box I was hooked on the wonderful colors and patterns of the bricks, the cool pieces that don't exist in other lines even though they should, and especially the awesome figures!

Since that faithful day, my MB COD collection has grown to the following:

Vehicles:
3x Ghosts tactical chopper (2 of which built into a Chinook double-rotor transport helicopter)
2x Heavy Armor Outpost (1 still boxed, intended as my next project to build an M2 Bradley IFV)
3x APC invasion (2x still boxed, intended to custom build an 8-wheeled IFV like LAV-25 or BTR-90)
2x Light Armor Firebase, 1 still boxed (intended to custom build a Humvee variant)
3x Claw assault (2x still boxed)
2x Chopper Strike, 1 still boxed
1x Dome Battleground
2x Rib Beach Assault
1x Drone attack
1x Mountain recon
1x SAM turret
1x Motorbike breakout
1x Ghosts Rappel fighter
1x Odin space station
1x Hovercraft

Troops:
1x Desert troopers (original set)
1x SEAL team
1x Alpine Rangers
1x Jungle troopers
1x Icarus troopers
1x Ghillie suit sniper
2x Juggernaut

Zombies:
2x Zombies tranzit farm (1x still boxed)
1x Mob of the dead
1x Zombie horde
1x Zombie outbreak

I don't have anything from the 2015 waves, as they're hard to get here (the Netherlands) for a reasonable price :-(. Even worse are the WW2 sets, both the first ones and the new ones - WW2 is the period I'm actually most interested in, but the few sets that seem to have made it across the Atlantic are prohibitively expensive on Amazon UK or Amazon Germany (the only place that has them at all as far as I have found).

^ Check Toys R Us - WW2 sets appear to be exclusive to TRU (ok apart from the few amazon/eBay sellers.)

Got new sets today, added them to my collection list:

1 x APC INVASION
1 x DOME BATTLEGROUND

Just got the new C.o.d. B-52 bomber with paratroopers team.

Wait, what?! B-52 bomber? Paratroopers? I have not seen or heard about this set!

This we need proof of since nobody has heard anything about a B-52 (or has forgotten to tell the rest of the blok community). Also paratroopers with a plane which was designed specifically as a bomber? I mean like what? They gonna jump out the bomb bay? Lol

Would make more sense if they did a C-130 (no not an AC-130 the AC-130 is the combat variant (the one with all them cannons and miniguns) the C-130 is the transport variant) to include paratroopers.

Got some new sets this week.

1 x UGV Drone
1 x Vulture Attack
1 x Motorbike Breakout
1 x Sidecar Pursuit
1 x Brutus

My slowly expanding collection:
1x AGR drone
1x Ghillie Sniper
1x Juggernaut
1x Sniper pack
1x Jungle pack
1x Black hawk
1x Desert squad (new version)
1x Seal specialist
1x BTR
