Mattel teams with Microsoft for Mega Bloks Xbox 360 set
Mattel has partnered with Microsoft to launch a Mega Bloks Xbox 360 set.
An exclusive at Target in the US, the 1,342 piece set is a fully buildable, light-up console and controller – complete with a buildable brick version of the case and disc for Halo 3.
The console opens to reveal a disc drive and builders can place the Halo 3-themed disc inside to activate the motherboard.
The set launches on October 8th for $149.99 and pre-orders on the Target site quickly sold out.
