Glad to finally know what’s in this set. There are some definite gems in there that make the set WORTH the $30 sale price, IMO.
Here are some product shots found on eBay of this set:
In my opinion, this is a great set for several reasons.
• A ton of figures for a great price
• Army builders galore
• Previously released figures in NEW team colors
• Previously released figures sought after
Now about the price, it’s been said that it’s really $50, but on ‘Black Friday’ there will be a sale of it for $30. Even at $50 for the amount of figures and accessories plus bloks, makes this worth it.
With there being several grunts, elites and brutes, not to mention a couple of ODSTs, it’s a great deal for army builders.
The Cyan color Covenant figures have never been done in that color before. In fact Cyan is one of the lesser used colors in Mega Bloks repertoire of Halo minifigs. Yes, they aren’t game accurate for the FPS games, but come on, these are TOYS!
Some figures like the steel colored Spartans are sought after. Others like the Translucent Cyan Brute and Translucent Green CQB are great for guys like me who like translucent figs.
The green spartans are also cool as the represent the original color of the Mjolnir armor. I’m totally diggin’ that Green Recon!!!
One last thing to note is that we’re getting some great tiles with multiplayer emblems on them.
Now I can only HOPE that MEGA will make one with my gaming group’s symbol on it:
