Dark Dominion #0 Trading Cards

In 1993 the Dark Dominion #0 comic book was released in an interesting way. As a trading card set. It’s from Defiant Comics. In addition to the 117 story cards, there are 33 character cards (with a parallel foil set, I have none of these) and a chase set of 9 cards. This Level One set has locals one one side and a portion of a battle scene on other, I have 1, 8 & 9. Also included is a Good Guys card.
A way more complete and extensive list about the set can be found here.

As a comic book it’s OK. The series lasted to Issue #10. I found them easily and they were relatively inexpensive at a comic book convention.

Halo UNSC Warthog

This #96995 UNSC Warthog is from Mega Bloks. It's part of the Metal Series. It's made to look like it's Lego but at this size I don't think any will fit. The base is two pieces and is held together by a 4×2 flat piece, with connections on all four sides.
It's priced at $10 which is a little steep. I've managed not to buy any of the action figures, vehicles or Mega Bloks sets or Mega Bloks 12″ Halo figures so far so I decided I could afford this one luxury.
Boy, just writing about it makes me want some.
There is a UNSC Scorpion #97039, Covenant Banshee #96994 as well as a few figure packs. The Warthog, and probably the Banshee, appear to be around 1:64 scale so it fit into my collection well.
