The window shows the figure, weapons and REQ station nicely. The back shows the other 3 in this series of Power Packs.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Inside you get a small bag of parts, an instruction sheet and the tray of figure, weapons and REQ station.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are all the pieces you get in this set. Note the translucent clear\/blue piece on the front of the REQ station can be detached.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These Power Pack sets are , as of this writing, the only way to get the REQ skins. Doubtful we’ll see these again, outside of these packs, so I recommend getting them now, if you want them.<\/strong> Seen below are the SMG (Gold Standard skin) (LEFT), Fuel Rod Cannon (Pool of Radiance skin) (CENTER TOP), Magnum (Fade skin) (RIGHT).\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The REQ Station itself can be clipped together to allow for it to swing open\/close. You can move the clips for the weapons to whatever position you want. Below shows the default position, per the instructions.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve added the Damage Boost button to the top of the REQ station. I just think it looks better than to leave the expose stud. Also note that the REQ station can attach either at the bottom OR the back side is so desired.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Spartan itself also has the color theme. Here it has mostly translucent light blue (almost teal) armor.
\nSeen below, I’ve used one of the clips to add to the back of the Spartan so it can hold one of the weapons.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Summary:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>The set has virtually no build time. It’s unique weapon skins are a selling point and one in which I suspect many collectors will buy these Power Packs for. If you like translucent figures, these sets are for you!<\/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 It’s got a Helioskrill Spartan!!
\n\u2022 Pool of Radiance is one of my more favorite skins from Halo 5, for Covenant Weapons.<\/p>\n

Here’s my opinion on the break down of the value of this set. (In US dollars)
\n<\/strong>\u2022 The\u00a0figure with one weapon and the figure stand equates to $3.50<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 The two other skinned weapons are $2<\/strong> total.
\n\u2022 The REQ Station and Power Up button together make up another $1.50<\/strong>.
\nTOTAL: $7 (before tax and in U.S. dollars)\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Given that the set costs $7 US before tax, this is a decent value.<\/strong> It’s right one par with the selling price.<\/p>\n

Do I recommend it?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>YES! Given the uniqueness of the weapons skins and color specific theme of the set, this is a neat set to have in one’s collection. And I recommend getting each of the 4 in the series!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
