Here’s a look at one of the NEW combat unit sets from Mega Bloks. It’s the Covenant Combat Cobalt Unit. The set will cost around $15 US. Is it worth it? Read on!<\/p>\n

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

Here’s the packaging. Great job here. It clearly shows all figures and accessories. Great presentation.<\/p>\n

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

Here’s the card after the bubble has been removed. I like it. I may just find a use for this in a diorama.<\/p>\n

This is all the contents of the package. I did not use the bloks for display. I’ll incorporate them into another project I’m working on.<\/p>\n

Here are the figures closer up. These are FANTASTIC! Great painting on these. MUCH better than any previous version of the Brutes. And of course, as some of you know, I’m A HUGE fan of translucent figures. So, that grunt is VERY welcome into the collection.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, this set costs $15. Is it worth it? Considering single pack figures run $3-3.50 each, at 4 figs, that would be $12-14. There are a few additional bloks. So you may say, well that just doesn’t add up. However, math wise yes, it doesn’t add, up, but QUALITY wise, it definitely DOES. These figs are AWESOME. I wish I could have a few squads worth of each minifigs. I like the brute figs. By far the best paint to date.<\/p>\n

My only minor nitpick would be that I’d have preferred the painted grunt’s skin to be a much lighter shade of grey.<\/p>\n

So I HIGHLY recommend this set to anyone who likes brutes and\/or well painted figures.<\/p>\n

I give this 9 out of 10 medals.
