On the heels of its Blok-Bots product line, MegaBloks has just released the
first batch of "Warriors Future Force" mecha-style vehicles.  These feature the
same click-joints as the Blok-Bots, as well as new weaponry.  I saw four
types on the shelf at TRU, but I only had $10 so I went with one of the smaller
ones.  Here are scans of the model itself as well a shot of the other sets now
available:

The sets include a brick separator, a figure, and a camo-paint marker for
detailing the mech.  I've never been interested in painting my bricks, so the
marker means nothing to me, but it's a nice feature.  The paint is water
washable, so you're not stuck with permanent ugliness if you screw up the
paintjob.

This set was $9.99 (TRU price--who knows what MSRP is?), and it had 125 pieces.
I didn't get counts for the other sets.

Dave! Let me get this straight -- you saw but did not purchase the J-227 Quadwalker? C'mon Dave!, the thing looks like it's practically covered in trans-antifreeze 2x2 tiles, and are those some kind of new cones there being used as rockets? I have (...)
