The box has a large window to see all the figures and weapons included. What you don’t see are the pieces for the terrain display. That is shown on the back of the box, however.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

The figures and weapons are housed in a large plastic tray, nicely secured.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the different figures for both translucent green and cyan.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And a closeup of the weapons.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Beyond those, you get a bag of parts and a folded instruction sheet.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are all of the terrain pieces. Note the clear plastic is used to show a Spartan either mid-jump or in flight.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing that’s great about this set is you get all of the armors for Noble Team from Reach. Yes, not in their colors….\"\"<\/a>
\n…However, if you are an enterprising person or KNOW one who is willing to paint these figures, you can create your own Noble team!\"\"<\/a>
\nCredit to my bud gcustomcreations<\/a> (IG) for painting these for me!<\/p>\n

Not only the AI Noble Team, but the base armor Noble Six AND my very own in-game Noble Team JFO Spartan\"\"<\/a>
\nYes, he’s Iron Man inspried. What can I say, I’m a HUGE Iron Man fan!\"\"<\/a>
\nBeyond painting these, GC did some sculpting too. Below shows just what he did for my in-game Spartan.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Summary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>The set is an excellent value. The small terrain set isn’t even needed, but certainly welcome.<\/p>\n

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

Why did I give it a 10 out of 10?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u2022 The shear volume of figures for this set for the low price!<\/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 each equate to $3.50 each. \u00a0$70 total<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 The terrain assembly I value at $3<\/strong>. This includes 12 small pieces that would otherwise be used as figure stands.
\nTOTAL: $73 (before tax and in U.S. dollars)\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Given that the set costs $50 US before tax, this is a AWESOME value!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was fortunate enough to even get this on sale for $25!!<\/p>\n

Do I recommend it?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>YES. Even though none of the armor is new as of this release, it’s still a great selection. That you get TWENTY figures for the price is AWESOME! Add on the terrain assembly and you have a nice bonus.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
