Since the figures are the same for both of these packs, except for the color, the review is the same for both.<\/p>\n

Minifigs:\u00a0<\/strong>Battle Pack 2: Blue Marine with Battle Rifle, Copper Grunt, Blue Mark V Spartan, Blue Marine with Rocket Launcher, Copper Elite, Die Cast Brute; Battle Pack 3:\u00a0\u00a0Red Marine with Battle Rifle, White Grunt, Red Mark V Spartan, Red Marine with Rocket Launcher, White Elite, Die Cast EVA Spartan

Dimensions:<\/strong>\u00a0Each figure ranges between 3\/4 inch-1 inch tall.
\nPrice\/Value:\u00a0<\/strong>$5.99-6.99 US per battle pack depending on store.<\/p>\n

These sets are great for filler to a diorama. The added Die Cast figure is nice and if you happen to bump another die cast against it they make a nice “clink” sound, telling you they are indeed metal. The plastic figures are a little soft. That’s not a bad thing though. It means you shouldn’t have an easy time breaking those. I suspect they’ll hold up to semi-rough play, though don’t let them near baby or animal teeth… When taking these out of the package I recommend popping them out from the bottom, rather than trying to pull them out from the top. Seemed to work easier for me.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the pics the microfigs are imprinted on the under side of the base with the Mega Bloks logo.<\/p>\n

For the price of $6-7 these sets hold their value. At $1 or just above each, their great. Certainly the Die Cast figure will be the hot one for collectors.<\/p>\n

There are actually 5 different battle packs. I got these two at Toy Fair. The others will be reviewed at a later date once I have them in my hands.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0This is a new line and can figure in well into just about any Halo diorama as background figures or a totally small scale diorama. I like the blue set just a tinge better because it has the game accurate copper grunt. I give these sets both\u00a09.5 medals out of 10<\/strong>. I just a slight bit concerned for the soft plastic, otherwise these would have received a full 10 from me.<\/div>\n
