Yes, I left the cover off the pod so you could see the weapon inside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary: <\/strong>Of the three new weapons packs, this has the least new to offer. That said, it&#8217;s a good little set for building up UNSC weapons and the Tan Spartan makes for a good leader of your desert color UNSC troops.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>I give this set\u00a0<span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">8 out for 10 medals<\/span>. It would have scored higher if there would have been more to the crate portion of the set. In comparison to the Forerunner and Covenant set, this one is lacking, for the same money. Toss in maybe a fern blok and a rock blok and that would have helped make up for the lack of pieces. It&#8217;s still a good set, just not as good as the other two.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mega Bloks UNSC Weapons Pack: Set #97165 Technical Specifications: Build Time:\u00a02 minutes Set Piece Count:\u00a024 Minifig:\u00a0Tan Mark VI (Halo 4 style) Weapons:\u00a0DMR, Saw, Railgun Accessories:\u00a0Trip mine, Weapon pod Price:\u00a0$6-7 depending on where you buy it from.
