As show in the above pic, the set contains 518 pieces. This likely will mean it will retail at most place for between $45-55US. The set itself is based off the Spartan Ops mission “Core” (Episode 1-Chapter 5). I first saw this at New York Comicon back in October. It’s a mid-large set space wise and comes with 5 1\/2 minifigs. I saw 5 1\/2 due to the watcher. Though, it itself might qualify as a full minifig depending on articulation. I for one hope at least the ring wings rotate in some fashion. The Watcher comes with a clear display stand to make it appear as if it’s flying.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the set outside of the box from a flipped angle.<\/p>\n

The other figures are of note. We get TWO Crawlers. These are the plain kind, though Mega will undoubtedly make the sniper and\/or Alpha Crawler. Personally I hope at least for the Alpha Crawler as I want to see it with those cool hard light spikes on it’s back.<\/p>\n

We also get a new style Marine of the Halo 4 variety. I hope to build up an army of these. The spartan included is the “Soldier” version in green. I dig it. It looks great in minifig size and it includes a clear stand to pose as if using a jetpack.<\/p>\n

The minifig though that is the BIG draw of this whole set is the Promethean Knight. It’s HUGE! Bigger than a Mega Bloks Hunter AND it fits the Watcher in it’s back.<\/p>\n

The playset part of the set is neat. Lots of Forerunner structure to play\/display around. As well, the set contains a few good tan baseplates as well as plenty of lava like plates.<\/p>\n

For the money, the set looks good. I’m going to wait for sales to get mutliples of this. This is one set that I can see buying several of. The actual base area of the “Core” level is quite large.<\/p>\n

One thing I really appreciate about this set is the Mega Bloks gave us a version of each Promethean in the set. A Knight, Crawlers, and a Watcher! Now to look for Commander\/Battlewagon Knights in future sets.<\/p>\n

So do you plan on buying this set? Multiples of it?<\/p>\n
