I am missing one of the little clear pegs to attach it to the clear base, but I&#8217;ll get that from Mega through their customer service line.<\/p>\n<p>The value of the set is good, almost great, IMO. The only two things I would have changed to this set were the color choice of the elite to be the correct blue in-game color, and a different weapon for the Elite. Why Mega insists on a plasma pistol for the Elite, I don&#8217;t know. At the least it should have a plasma rifle. That&#8217;s a small knock though, nothing huge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a08.5 out of 10 medals. It would have scored more if it had been game correct in color, as well as the plasma rifle instead of the pistol.<\/p>\n<p>And now onto the pic:<\/p>\n<p>Just one, however, it&#8217;s a composite of everything in the set.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/MB-Flood-Drop-Pod-COMP.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1389\" title=\"MB Flood Drop Pod COMP\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/MB-Flood-Drop-Pod-COMP-217x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/MB-Flood-Drop-Pod-COMP-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/MB-Flood-Drop-Pod-COMP-741x1024.jpg 741w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It really is a nice set.
