\n<\/a>For a small package, the box shows the contents nicely on both the front and the back.\"MB
\n<\/a><\/a>Here are all the pieces sorted out.\"MB
\n<\/a><\/a>The small weapons rack. The handle is for the DMR.\"MB
\n<\/a><\/a>A fusion coil. I’d like to see one come with a RED<\/strong> <\/span>inner core. We’ve had both green and yellow. That’s ever so minor though and does not at all take away from the set.\"MB
\n<\/a><\/a>Above is the turret. It’s made of 4 pieces. Note the right most pic showing the bottom of the turret. It shows that the two rear legs have stud holes while the front has notches.\u00a0\"MB
\n<\/a><\/a>Above shows why the legs are made as such. The two rear legs fit onto studs while the front one fits in between them. It’s a great design for the turret base.\"MB
\n<\/a><\/a>Be sure to click on the above pic to see it bigger. This Halo 4 Space Marine (yes, that’s it’s title) is highly detailed. It has no less than 5 colors to it. To the furthest right, I show it with it’s backpack on. This is an army building figure for sure!\"MB<\/a><\/a>The finished set can all be placed on the small baseplate, while the mini fig\u00a0attaches to the turret. Four sandbags round out the rest of the set. No leftover parts.<\/p>\n

Summary:\u00a0<\/strong>This set is virtually build free. The weapons rack, fusion coil and turret take less than 2 minutes to build. (Likely even less than a minute). The inclusion of 4 weapons, a turret, a fusion coil and four sandbags really make this a set to own. The skins on the AR and DMR are fantastic and I hope we see more Halo 4 skins in the future on Mega Bloks Halo weapons.<\/p>\n

The price is $8, though you might be able to find it for $7 if you look around. I do NOT expect this set to stay on shelves. So buy it when you see it. The set says it has 28 pieces to it. Now normally I use a 10 cents per piece formula. However, in the case of weapons packs, it’s a little different. First the figure accounts for $3-4 of the total. Each weapon is 25 cents, the turret would be at least $1. That leaves the fusion coil, weapons rack pieces and the baseplate to make up the rest and I think they definitely do. So what I’m saying in a nutshell is this set is perfectly priced for what you get inside! If you score it for less than $8, count yourself lucky!<\/p>\n

Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0I give this set 10 out for 10 medals.<\/strong>\u00a0I cannot find any flaws with this set. It’s just that good!<\/p>\n

There will be a revision of this set later in the year. The main difference between the sets will be the mini figure having the new articulation in the revised set.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think of the review. If you have this set yourself, please give me your thoughts on it too!<\/p>\n
