Covenant Drop Pod Elite Ultra: Set number 96928<\/strong>
\nTech Specs
\nBuild Time:<\/strong>\u00a02 minutes including sorting
\nSet Piece count:<\/strong>\u00a024
\nPrice:<\/strong>\u00a0$9.99-11.99 US<\/p>\n

This set has 24 pieces.<\/p>\n

The minifig included a Silver Ultra Elite. It’s a fantastic figure and I wish Mega would release it in more sets.\u00a0I find myself wanting to get a couple more of this set. Plus there are arms, chest and a head of the Ascetic Elite if you choose to switch armor. I personally prefer the Ultra much more.<\/p>\n

The set is fairly standard fair for a drop pod set. One figure, a couple of weapons and the pod and bonus armor. While I like the pods, I do think they are to the point of saturation now. I kind of hope Mega is done with the pod sets after these releases.<\/p>\n

The value of the set is good ok, though I’d have like another full figure or more weapons not often released, like the plasma rifle.<\/p>\n

Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a08 out of 10 medals. It would have been higher, but again, I’m getting a bit saturated with the pods and would prefer more minifigs and\/or weapons.<\/p>\n

And now onto the pics:<\/p>\n

Finally the Ultra Elite:<\/p>\n

For me the Ultra is the real draw here. Typically these show up in groups of 4 in Firefight, so I’d like to have that many sets. However, given the cost of the set itself and I not wanting more pods, I can’t justify buying multiples.<\/p>\n

Still, I highly recommend getting this set if you like pods, or Elites, or both.<\/p>\n
