As with most of the smaller sets that come with car\/bubble window, this set shows most of the contents within. \"MEGA<\/a><\/p>\n

The only pieces hidden are some of the armor and two figure stands as well as the insert sheet.\"MEGA<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a series of pics showing how the flamethrower backpack is built.\"MEGA<\/a><\/p>\n

You get a very good assortment of weapons included with the set. Power weapons like the Sniper and Rocket Launcher, short and mid ranged weapons like the pistol, Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, and finally the short distance, but effective flamethrower.\"MEGA<\/a><\/p>\n

The Flamethrower itself comes with an attachable flame!! VERY cool (or is that hot?) feature!\"MEGA<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the two figures as packaged in orthogonal views.\"MEGA<\/a>\"MEGA<\/a><\/p>\n

The Flamemarine shows off his stuff by holding the flamethrower and wearing his backpack pack.\"MEGA<\/a><\/p>\n

Included in this set is an additional set of armor to use as you choose!\"MEGA<\/a><\/p>\n

In the pic below, I show several variations of armor you can make. This includes not just swapping armor, but also swapping body parts to create whole different figures!\"MEGA
\n<\/a>Of those above, I REALLY like the way the all Green Flamemarine and Grey\/Black regular Marine looked, so that’s how I kept them to look after swapping parts.<\/p>\n

There is plenty of room for the weapons and extra armor (with exception to the flamethrower).\"MEGA<\/a><\/p>\n

Summary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>This set has almost no\u00a0build time and has quite a lot of variability when it comes to swapping armor (and body parts).<\/p>\n

Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0I give this set 10\u00a0out for 10 medals.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Why did I give it a 10\u00a0out of 10?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u2022 The\u00a0base figures themselves are great. The variations you can make with the armor are even better.
\n\u2022 A very good assortment of UNSC weapons allows for more playabilty as well as to give other figures you may have in your collection, something else to use.<\/p>\n

Let me break down my opinion of the value of this set. (In US dollars)<\/span>
\n<\/strong>\u2022 The\u00a0figures\u00a0equate to $3.50 each. This includes their one weapons, figures stands and the flamethrower backpack\u00a0$7 total<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 The additional weapons, armor, and crates are worth about $4 collectively.
\nTOTAL: $11\u00a0(before tax and in U.S. dollars)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Given that\u00a0the set cost $9\u00a0U.S. before tax,\u00a0the set is a great value! All the added extras make this set an almost steal for the retail price of $9<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Do I recommend it?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>YES YES YES! Okay, this is in part because I’m an army builder. I like to have lots of marines. The versatility of armor and body part swaps\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>though are what really have me sold on this set!<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
