There are 5 bags and the instruction manual inside the box.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

Here all the pieces are sorted out.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ghost takes shape. A note here. The large arching piece at the front can come off a little easy. I recommend building the wings and placing those on first before that large piece. Makes it easy to put the wings on, without that piece popping off.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the final model. The wings of this Ghost are unlike any we’ve seen before. This is the Halo 5 Ghost. As for accuracy, it’s decent. Though I still think the wings could have been reworked slightly.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

Jul’s out for a ride looking for Spartan’s to slay!\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

This lone 1×1 grey plate was the only leftover piece.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s Jul form orthogonal views.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

Summary:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>The set has a short\u00a0build time. Thus, it’s an easy build. Simple to follow instructions.<\/p>\n

Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0I give this set 9 out for 10 medals.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0This set has good\u00a0value for $10. I got it on sale at Toys R Us for $7.50. So it was an even better deal for me.<\/p>\n

Why did I give it a 9.5 out of 10?<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong>\u2022 The half point comes off due to one thing. I would have preferred a small translucent piece atop Jul’s helmet, rather than that being painted on. There also should be hand prints on the shoulder armor. But given that scale, it’s okay that they weren’t put on.<\/p>\n

Do I recommend it?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Absolutely YES!\u00a0<\/span>This is\u00a0a good\u00a0set for the money. Jul makes this a must buy if you want to collect all of the named characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n
