First Booster Cracks from Target/Gamestop
Went out to check out if my local Target/Gamestop had indeed dropped the game already, and I was rewarded with a bounty of

A Hunter Pack
Warthog Pack
7 Boosters

From the haul, I am very impressed with alot of the sculpts, had one problem with the Brute, since it was a one legged model, and it had come unglued in the package, but we just reglued it. One big problem: Sentinel base. Its a softer plastic, which is fine, but the small clear bar that shows that its flying is also soft, making it impossible to turn its click base. I have not played the game yet, but know the rules, so this isn't going to be a review or anything

To follow up, like what was reported earlier, the "Target Exclusive" Hunter Pack does come with a different weaponry stand, and is a tad different than what is on the back, but I didn't mind. I was very happy with the boosters, got 4 figs, one of up to 8 (as far as I know) maps, and all the markers and small dice you want.

Figures

Hunter Pack
2 Hunters
Master Chief with Assault Rifle
Marine with Sniper/Battle Rifle/SMG

Uncommon
Jackal Sniper

Blue Spartan Covenant Carbine
Red Spartan Particle Beam Rifle
Red Spartan Sniper
Blue Spartan Brute Shot
Red Spartan Shotgun
Red Spartan Covenant Carbine
Red Spartan Brute Shot
Sentinel Sentinel Beam

Rare
Master Chief SMGs
Arbiter Plasma Rifle
Master Chief Sniper Rifle

Super Rare
Elite Honor Guard Energy Sword
Master Chief Fist of Rukt

Overall, nice selection, lots of Red V Blue action. Packs are not ALL randomized, the top has a clear plastic with either a red or blue Spartan, with whatever weapon he is holding, so its always a Spartan with 3 random figures, so gives you a nice basis for basic gameplay, not to mention each booster comes with a map, which was really nice.


EDIT: Got one major problem, looks like I got a Grunt card and an Elite Ranger card in place one of my Jackals and my super rare Master Chief with hammer. Going to have to email Wizkids about that.

Special items, like the Hunters in the Hunter pack are Bronze, where the Super Rares are Gold. Is it really a Rare Wart?

Ah, no, I just meant the one in the Warthog pack. It is actually Silver, I guess its "rare" officially, but I don't know, just know its Silver.

EDIT: Rocket launcher sounds awesome, I really wish it wasn't my Hammer Chief that was missing his card, I don't really mind the Jackal... but the Elite Honor Guard looks sweet.

Any chance you could get some pics/stats of the warthog?

What special rules (if any) does the warthog pack come with?

If I had a digital camera I would, unfortunately, I don't, so you will have to wait for some more technologically savvy people to post.

The Warthog comes on a big double click base, and I don't have the figure handy to check it, but I will do a rundown of the rules. I know one is the damage dial, one is the Risk dial, not really sure how it works, haven't used it yet.

I will say I had a couple really close games, and I can't wait to get a bigger collection, see what variety of Covenant and Flood they have. Hopefully we get the 5 pack "blind" packs around here, because that should give me a bit more variety, but the 4 pack semi blind that I got ahold of are nice to get a good base of Spartan soldiers, imo.

Out of three Target boosters, I picked up the SR Arbiter w/Active Camo, a nice clear figure. My favorite is an Elite Ranger with plamsa pistols, doing some John Woo style flying action. He broke off the flight stand coming out of the pack, though, and required drilling and super gluing.

The Target bonus for pre-ordering Halo 3 was a twin pack with an exclusive MC and Arbiter. I was too late to pre-order yesterday. Anyone pick this up?

I've grabbed about 13 boosters myself, so far, plus the Hunter pack. Unfortunately there's no Target store around so I have to miss out on getting the Warthog. Such is life.:)

My two favourite pulls so far have to be Sesa 'Refumee. Even if he did eat it in Halo 2, he's awesome. The second was the Spec Ops Grunt... not that he's anything special, but a grunt with a fuel rod gun is just sweet. Oh, and I suppose the unofficial third is the Elite Zealot with Energy sword.

Only gripe would be pulling Cortana with a massive grin only to find the Prophet of Regret's card in the pack. Bugger... which one do I want more?

Now I just need to play a game. Seeing what everyone else managed to draw is pretty sweet.:)

Go to http://www.wizkid.com all cards and stats for pieces are available online. I got the wrong cards with my first box, but after 3 LD calls I got a customer service rep to mail me new cards for the figures I had.
