Good News - Halo action figures, consisting of Master Chief, Cortana and a mini Warthog, are all now available.

Master Chief comes with Assault Rifle and a Sniper Rifle, stands around 6" tall and is poseable.

Cortana is not in scale, for obvious reasons, and comes with a light up base, it is supposed to simulate Cortana during the game intro before Keyes shuts her down.

The Warthog, again not in scale, comes with 3 mini figures, master chief and two marines, moveable wheels/steering and rotating back gun.

The bad news ? Limited availability, don't expect anyone in the UK to get them as a lot of US sellers are out already.

Obviously not everyones thing, but for people like me who like gaming and like action figures they are great. eBay UK has none on, eBay US has some but prices are steep when you factor in shipping and VAT/duty.

Currently I'm searching the net for an online store with them, preferably one that'll fiddle the value for customs....

Ring them up and check - did you print out your receipt ? There phone number is 01621 877222 Can't see the Devil May Cry figure being a problem, tons of those around in Nottingham, but from what the woman told me this morning they aren't taking any orders for the Halo stuff (morons!)

Or does it mean they can't take orders over the phone?

Gah, after ordering from Forbidden Planet last night and it not accepting my card details, I rang up to order this morning.

"Sorry, not taking any orders anymore"

Me - "but they're on the website"

"We know, we couldn't get any"

E Commerce in this country sucks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly. Time to go invest money with our American cousins....
