I overall really like the set. Not a cat ear fan but I consider it an extra so no biggie. The value is fair I think. Would I like it a little cheaper sure but it is fair. I would contact Mega. My set didn't have any major flaws like yours. Hopefully it isn't wide spread.
Two things, First: the chestplate thing is a huge win as we now have both male and female variants of the MK 7 Chestplate. Second, the hand issues/arm issues can be easily fixed. The fused hand can be freed by softening the arm, and I've been experimenting with the hands that get stress marks. My Trailblazer had the same issue and I *may* have fixed it but it's still a WIP. (Stress marks don't automatically mean the hands will break too) Yes, these issues shouldn't have to be fixed, but they do happen and while pointing it out can help for future releases, it won't fix the issues for this set. As for the price, it's really not a premium price. The math of it lines up pretty much spot on for what comes in the set.
Personally my stance on the customization still stands. These chest plates will never be released again, mixing and matching is a core part of Halo Mega and while it’s great to have these variants, making that mixing harder was the wrong move. This is what i was talking about in the video. While i appreciate the idea of “fixing” the hands, that should never be something that a consumer should have to do with a product day 1. My purpose for pointing out flaws like this is to accurately portray the realities of this set. Whether it was any brand, I would have done the exact same thing. The price most definitely is premium. Upon release the halo infinite warthog was easily found purchased for around $25 USD. It included 4 minifigures. The halo infinite gungoose can be currently found for $20 USD, also 4 figures. That’s $45. There’s a $20 dollar markup. This math also checks out with the parts count for this set which is 467.
I think youre my new favorite halo reviewer. Youre critical of these sets despite your love for them. Something i feel like is lacking with reviews sometimes
Super cool video idea (Wouldn’t be profitable ad revenue wise but would be absolutely epic) Make a halo ring as large as possible using the forerunner ring installation set. All the videos I’ve seen use 4-5 but I’d love to see one with let’s say 20 used. All the extra foliage pieces could go to a sweet blood gulch style moc
@@MrWoodyShorts there's even more than just the halo heroes, there's also been a couple gungnir halo heroes, anyway, I didn't want to be be rude I just wanted to let you know there's other options
@@MrWoodyShorts I'm in the UK and pre-ordered at the backend of last year, so haven't had mine yet! There's been some issues with international shipping for this set, but when it comes I'll let you know!
But, what mini figures do you like best? Mega: good articulation New sculpts Cheaper price Over all more customisation But It's not lego People think it's a Lego knock off (truthfully Lego isn't much more original but the redesigned Lego bricks are so much better than the og one) Or LEGO Pretty valuable figures I mean they have charm ABS plastic that is cinda a problem But You can't really play with them They have less articulation and are expensive
Only reason I bought this set was for the forerunner weapons, wish there were more to it. I only like the militatistic sets, but that's just my opinion. Hope everyone else enjoys the set.
@@MrWoodyShorts i still voted for neon, but when you compare previkous fan vote sets like the sabre or the floodgate, its not really anything to be hype about imo. i want them to do a fan vote of display sets like the Forward unto dawn or a mini pillar of autumn, ccs battle cruiser or even a mini Cairo station that can maybe somewhat fit a parked dawn
ikr, but you actually care for them... I don't. In my opinion, they were the worst thing to ever happen to Halo. I really don't like them.. On a figure, though, they don't look bad, actually...

i honestly want a new scarab, silent shadow, banished wraith or for the first time a covenant or banished carrier
A new Locust or scarab set! Or modernized ODST HAWK, I still have My OG HAWK from way back when I was like 12
@@shagbabyyeah I REALLY want a silent shadow fire team set or some covenant/banished ship model like the infinity or forward unto dawn
I would absolutely love a Covenant carrier. Really anything covenant related we desperately need right now.
I hope next time we get a fan vote it's not just vehicle colors but more like the vote that gave us floodgate
I hope so as well. It doesn't seem like one is planned for this year but maybe??
Very cyberpunk and synthwave vibes ! 🎉❤😊
I think youre my new favorite halo reviewer. Youre critical of these sets despite your love for them. Something i feel like is lacking with reviews sometimes
I would like to see mega create an Alpha 9 Phantom and/or a Pillar of Autumn
That would be something to see for sure. I hope one day we get a midi scale Autumn
Love the video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!

That's a fun video idea! I will have to see the logistics of that one and where I can get a bunch of those for a good price. I'll look into it!
Only 34 views? This dude's quality is too high for 34 views.
Share the video so many more can enjoy this review
Hey thank you for watching!
6:31 there's a ton of gungnir Spartans from halo mega already,
Yes you are right I forgot about the halo heroes one, whoops!
@@MrWoodyShorts there's even more than just the halo heroes, there's also been a couple gungnir halo heroes, anyway, I didn't want to be be rude I just wanted to let you know there's other options
Yes after you mentioned that I did some digging through my figs and found a lot more than I remembered haha! Thank you!
@@MrWoodyShorts glad you've got some new stuff to track down and enjoy now!
As far as I'm aware, everything that I voted for won except the Sentinel Beam! So I had to get this lol
Hey that's a pretty good win ratio! What did you think of the set?
@@MrWoodyShorts I'm in the UK and pre-ordered at the backend of last year, so haven't had mine yet! There's been some issues with international shipping for this set, but when it comes I'll let you know!
It’s so weird hearing minifigure used on something different than Lego but it’s still cool
But, what mini figures do you like best?
Mega:
good articulation
New sculpts
Cheaper price
Over all more customisation
But
It's not lego
People think it's a Lego knock off (truthfully Lego isn't much more original but the redesigned Lego bricks are so much better than the og one)
Or LEGO
Pretty valuable figures
I mean they have charm
ABS plastic that is cinda a problem
But
You can't really play with them
They have less articulation and are expensive
I'm gonna be *that guy* and say Mega's figures are actually Micro Action Figures and not Minifigure XD Which is why it sounds odd
To me, I started with LEGO and then tried MEGA so they all kinda just because minifigures to me!
btw mega did another gungir for unfinite, the kovan figure from series 15 of halo heroes, it's the first one, and it's masked...
Yes you are right, my bad should have checked first
Only reason I bought this set was for the forerunner weapons, wish there were more to it. I only like the militatistic sets, but that's just my opinion. Hope everyone else enjoys the set.
The weapons are good I appreciate those
I love the cat ears because they make half of all halo fans pissed off
hahah this is true
Contact mega for replacements, the set is limited but I’m sure they’ll try and help you out.
I hope so...
Pretty sure it was just colours we chose, and this one was pretty mid imo. Detail is amazing tho
I still wish action block won...

Ngl the same joke about Durr microtransactions was annoying lmfao good review otherwise
hahaha had to throw it in there
Cqb?
Trailblazer, Halo infinite version of CQB basically
@@MrWoodyShortsdid they state that orr am I missing something cause that looks like recon bro
I like the set
It aint too bad!
65 buck ?!😮
😎😎😎😎
Nah this was a hard pass but def got the flood set
flood set is so good
@@MrWoodyShorts got me 2 flood gate sets when they went on sale on Amazon! So worth it!
man the uk is compelety dead for halo sets lmao.
The only ones I can get are old sets from 2015 and before on ebay for a good price
I really hate the collors so i will not get it
Its, interesting. LMAO
hahah certainly is...
I think the cat ears are just as stupid In the game as they are in the set
hahaha you got my laughing on that one, they are pretty ridiculous lol
Really?
ikr, but you actually care for them... I don't. In my opinion, they were the worst thing to ever happen to Halo. I really don't like them.. On a figure, though, they don't look bad, actually...
Dawg, if you think the worse thing to happen to halo is cat ears, you don't have your priorities straight
@@The_Local_Goose probably true but I'm an idiot.
@@MegaBricks17 you're probably above average intelligence
@@The_Local_Goose meh
For figs They aint terrible but, Should they have been added to halo? no.
