The box art shows the figures in an action scene, while the back shows off the contents within. This box size is new to the Halo Mega Construx line. I like it. It’s tall, not long allowing for more sets to be placed on store shelves.<\/p>\n

Note the figures are the same as typical UNSC Marines, but with the ONI Black\/Grey deco instead.\"\"<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

You get several bags of pieces and an instruction manual.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the pieces sorted out. It’s comprised mostly of the turret and terrain pieces and of course the figures.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The new UNSC machine gun turret has a play feature that allows for small plastic bolts to be fired from it. I’m actually not to much a fan of this as it makes the turret bigger than it’s supposed to be. However, for playability, the firing feature is nice.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the whole set on display! \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Summary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>The set is a good value, especially if you like ONI troops. The new firing turret is a bit big but does add a formerly non-existent play feature.<\/p>\n

Overall Rating:\u00a0I give this set 8.5 out for 10 medals.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Why did I give it a 8.5 out of 10?<\/strong><\/span>
\nThere are two things about the set that keep it from being a 10 for me.
\n\u2022 I’m not a fan of the oversized turret. Full point for that.
\n\u2022 Half point off for the officer figure. I’d have preferred another of the larger helmeted figures instead.<\/p>\n

Here’s my opinion on the break down of the value of this set. (In US dollars)
\n<\/strong>\u2022 The\u00a0figures with one weapon and a figure stand each equate to $3.50 each. \u00a0$14 total<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 Turret assembly $1.50<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Crate and terrain pieces $1<\/strong>
\nTOTAL: $16.50 (before tax and in U.S. dollars)\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Given that the set costs $15 US before tax, this is a very good value!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do I recommend it?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>YES. We rarely get ONI sets, so this is welcomed. That we get 3 troopers is good. As mentioned above, I’m not a fan of the turret and would have liked another trooper instead of the officer. However, the set as a whole is good and worth the retail price.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
