\nThe box art here is pretty dynamic. Very cool! The back is simple and explains and shows what all you get in the set.\"MB
\nHere is what you get in the set. Three of the bags are figures, one is the drop shield and small pieces, while the biggest bag contains most of the pieces for the set.\"MB
\nHere are the parts sorted out. Pretty simple really.\"MB
\nAbove are the weapons and nades that come with the set.\u00a0\"MB
\nThe is the second set to feature the new Elite Commander. I really like the Indigo color that Mega now uses for Covenant forces. Totally fits in!\"MB
\nThe Elite Minor looks fantastic in Indigo as well!\"MB
\nThe Jackal has a bit more color to him for his skin, feathers and teeth. The back plate of armor has some silver to it. This is the best deco of the four figs included.\"MB
\nA grunt rounds out the figures. I kind of wish the color of the Grunt’s skin was lighter. It’s a little hard to see some of the great detail of the sculpt.\"MBAbove shows the buildable parts to the set. A drop shield, two movie covers, a power core, oh and a small land baseplate.<\/p>\n

Summary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>There is next to no\u00a0build time. Simple design and four army building figures make this a great buy!<\/p>\n

Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0I give this set 9.5 out for 10 medals.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Why did I give it a\u00a09.5 out of 10?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u2022 This is just a little nitpick one. The Grunt’s skin color. Other than that, this is a 10 from me!<\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>The price is $15-17 for this. The 4 figs account for $12-13 of that. The rest of the parts easily cover the rest of the cost of the set.<\/p>\n

Do I recommend it?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Absolutely! This is an army builder’s dream for Covenant forces! You get one each of the three main Covenant races and an extra Elite. \u00a0The buildable cover parts are a\u00a0<\/span>welcome\u00a0addition as they help to flesh out any battle scene you might display these in.<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
