\"MB
\n<\/a>I’ve said it many times before that I really love the white border packaging. It makes the box look clean and less cluttered. The back of the box shows the other two Micro Fleet sets currently available.\u00a0
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"MB
\n<\/a>This side view shows how far out the helmet juts from the box.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"MB<\/a>Here are the contents of the box. Strangely enough, none of the bags were inside of the helmet. When you look at the box, the portion that is to the left of the helmet is where the bags are located within.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

The next two pics show the helmet and attached base.\"MB
\n<\/a>\"MB<\/a>As you can see, you need to press down on the top tab to release the back baseplate.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"MB<\/a>All the pieces sorted out.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

This next set of pics shows the build progression of the mini-rocket hog.

\n\"MB<\/a>This comes together very quickly and I had no issues with the build.

\"MB<\/a>Here is the mini Forerunner structure included with the set. As I explain in the video, the structure technically can stand on it’s own, but those little 1×1 slope pieces are free floating and not connected to the structure. So, I made a modification to this build as seen below:<\/p>\n

\"MB<\/a>To the left a mini-Forerunner ship. It kind of reminds me of an A-wing from Star Wars. The only piece not used it that 1X3 slope piece. However, add it to the back and stand it upright as shown to the right and you’ve got a structure that can stand on it’s own without any free floating pieces.

\"MB<\/a>If you do not have a “Master Chief” figure, then this is a good choice to get him. While not the same as the one in the Forward Unto Dawn set (which has different markings), it’s close enough.

\"MB<\/a>“Honey, who shrunk the warthog?”
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"MB<\/a>A neat little set.
