World of Warcraft Mega Bloks season 1 revealed
Remember way back when Mega Bloks announced that it was creating a line of Warcraft sets? Which lore pieces would make for the best building block sets? Which characters did we want to see? Well, season 1 of the Mega Bloks Warcraft line has been revealed, and it is amazing. One of the larger sets includes Deathwing and Stormwind, where you can recreate your favorite cinematic moments from Cataclysm!
Faction packs include Ironoak the night elf, Ragerock the orc, Valoren the blood elf, and the ever-exciting and fancily named Colton the human paladin. Mount packs include Swift Gryphon with worgen rider, Goblin Trike with goblin rider, Flying Machine with gnome pilot, and Swift Wyvern with tauren rider. There are also three other larger sets, including the Lich King and Sindragosa, Demolisher Attack Horde versus Alliance, and the Goblin Zeppelin.
However, my favorite set of them all (and proof that the folks over at Mega Bloks play World of Warcraft, are Warcraft fans, and understand the nature and feel of this game) is The Barrens Chase Set. The Barrens Chase set is the quintessential WoW setup -- dorky night elf riding his cat in hot pursuit across The Barrens, chasing the most awesome orc on the planet, riding a rocket. This is World of Warcraft at its best.
Check out all of the new sets in our gallery, and look for them in stores soon.

"Working with [Mega Bloks] has been nothing but epic. Time and time again, they pull all the stops in realizing [World of Warcraft] in construction form. Not only are they passionate for great toys, but they're especially passionate about our games. That's the big win here. Blizzard and Mega Bloks share the same values which has made this partnership a success. The halls of Mega Bloks in Montreal are riddled with Blizzard fans and at the end of the day, it shows in the innovative and exciting product we're putting forth."
