Megabloks Call of Duty - Eagle-eyed Marasai spots it first
So, I'm looking at TRU's website to price some stuff for work, and on a whim I decide to check the Megabloks section. I look at the sub-brands and what do I see at the bottom right corner? Mega Bloks Call of Duty. No pics and what was there seems to have been removed. Oddly enough, when I tried to search Google for them, two tiny, hard to see pics show up showing a set with a tank and a set with a snow mobile. Both pictures are really tiny though and are apparently from TRU.com, but when I clicked on them, they lead to an error page on TRU's site. So, did TRU leak something on accident or what? You brick guys, I'm surprised none of you have talked about this yet.
Here's a link (that hopefully works) to the main Megablok page on TRU.com.

Re: Megabloks Call of Duty?
MEGA has been known to sneak something out there without anything leaking to the internet before. Last year's Halo Covert Ops TRU exclusives come to mind. Nobody knew about those until I stumbled upon them in my usually woefuly-understocked TRU.
I'm sure we'll know quite a bit here very shortly

Re: Megabloks Call of Duty?
Google has a bunch more dead shopping thumbnails this morning. I'd say it's pretty much confirmed ;)

Re: Megabloks Call of Duty?
Hope they don't stick to campaign, zombie sets would be so awesome!
Wonder what 343 will think about this, but at least I know why Sparky was playing so much Black ops 2!

Re: Megabloks Call of Duty?
All those shopping thumbnails are gone today, but I saw a nice assortment of sets by the end of the day yesterday. I know I'm looking forward to this, despite having not played a CoD game since they left WWII.
Funny part, at the moment, is that I think Marasai was the only person to notice the TRU listing and mention it online. If you do the Google search for Megabloks Call of Duty, this thread is like the 4th or 5th search result and the only one talking about an actual line :lol
EDIT - And here, 6 hours later we're result #1 :P
And since I think MEGA is trying to spring this as a big surprise, the less people that know about it right now, the better ;)

Re: Megabloks Call of Duty?
Guess what's available for purchase!
Watercraft Harbor Attack
The new figures look pretty nice. I wonder if they're much bigger than the Halo figures? I sure hope not.

Re: Megabloks Call of Duty?
Watercraft Harbor Attack? Where in the hell did TRU get that name?
And just me thinking out loud here completely uninformed and totally guessing, but I think the figures might be about 3mm taller. Which isn't a deal breaker ;)

Of all the machines of war a CoD licensed line could use, and they go with a raft? Pass. :lol
Actual AFVs in brick-form might be interesting.

Re: Megabloks Call of Duty - Eagle-eyed Marasai spots it first
I'm positive we'll get more than a Zodiac in this first wave. Also, the same guy who manifested this line is probably the guy who got Halo through the past 5 years, so I'm sure anything and everything in CoD will be fair game eventually.
Personally, I want one of those walking tank-drone things.

Re: Megabloks Call of Duty - Eagle-eyed Marasai spots it first
TRU has another listing today
Drone Attack
I so want one of these, but not enough to pay for shipping. Hopefully bigger sets will be listed later to get up to that free-shipping threshold.
