I seriously hope the availability of this set gets better real soon. Personally i would have loved to get it in stores but right now you have to be really quick to catch a restock on amazon. The biggest issue with this release. I hope everyone manages to get the set, i wish you all luck!
Yeah it really sucks. I was so hyped for this set, then I go on Amazon to see a $50 dollar set has been torn away bye scalpers and being sold for $150. But who knows, maybe something will change.
its available right now like 7 left order now
It’s on Amazon for 50$
Man you were able to get one of these? I honestly think all of these figs are great! I would of personally had Tartarus instead of the hieratic leader, and buck instead of dare. It’s still an amazing set! Great video and keep up the awesome work!
Good choices for alternate figures, Chief!
Good call on Buck!
I woulda definitely had Buck, we need a new one :(
Why Tartarus? We already had one of him. We didn’t have this prophet before.
@@Konigsmask we domt have a post uprising tartarus with the skull
What a fantastic video. Bravo Colin you're a natural reviewer! Hope to see more from you.
Yo domain should I get this set? It’s available at my Sears and there’s 4 left lol
@@steezyongod3558 DEFINITELY but I think this video explains all the pros and cons of the set :)
@@thedomainhalo Alright I will but I need to get some bucks 🤣🤣
Thanks Simon!
Man, I love the Jerome fig, that’s my favorite. On the Halo 4 Chief, I would’ve preferred to not have the scratch detailing, so you could consider it both a 4 and 5 Chief.
i liked the master chief figure but the color its very green in halo 4 was like a grey with green color its like a fusion of halo 5 master chief for color and scratch for halo 4 my atriox figure and my linda spartan came with a hand broken :(
I mostly want this set for Rtas 'Vadum. I've always loved the Covie separatists!
The fact that they added the Mister Chif as a figure in a hundred-dollar set is amazing
They even made him look like one of those Lego minifigures
Bravo Colin, Excellent review! As others have said, I too am not really into the gold figures but I guess It gives more use for the Gold weapons that came with the previous anniversary sets, especially if you wanted to create some kind of weird Gold Member diorama. Otherwise , a great set with many figures I don't have but want/need!
Wow, you were able to get one of these!?!? Lucky. I really wish I had 1, 2 for customs. The figs look great! Nice review, and I like the new intro
There was a very old version of Mickey you could get from an ODST drop pod
My brother actually has that one, he got it for Christmas back in the day
From a drop pod? Is it the old articulation scheme? The only Mickey I know of came with the NMPD Pelican.
Love the intro with Jeff steizers voice. I really wanted to see someone review this set as i haven’t seen anyone do it yet. I don’t like the set overal but certain figures are amazing! Nice work
My favorite are rtas and mister chief 😂
I honestly don't understand the inclusion of Halo 4 Chief in this set...That was probably his least popular armor. I honestly think CE Chief would've made so much more sense in a set like this. Or maybe Halo 3 Chief. The Halo 4 design just kind of falls flat for me.
Also would've liked to have seen a non gold version of the Arbiter in there. Some of the character inclusions just don't quite make sense to me and could've easily been replaced by other, more iconic ones.
Ah well. Not like any of us will ever be able to get our hands on one of these at MSRP anyway.
7:59 What's wrong with Mk.4? It's one of the better looking armours out there, if not *the* best.
Would have gotten this if 5 of the best characters weren’t gold for no reason.
Yea I hate the gold figures
Freaking love Rtas and I hope we get a lord Hood in the future
Or Jacob Keyes
The scalpers have already gotten to this set… how did you get it
@@SnipesS01 how can I order it if it’s out of stock?
@@SnipesS01 okay calm down, but hey how will I beat the bots and scalpers buying every one that comes into stock
Daanng you beat me to it by a couple weeks!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Great review. Thank you for comparing these versions to previous ones.
Thanks for checking out the review, Chris!
Love that they added mister chief minifigure there
This set looks amazing, I hope that it becomes available in stores here in the us. The scalpers Online are insane, hopefully Amazon gets a good stock of them for a while
Love these videos
How do you get this in the UK?
No word on UK availability yet!
I regret not getting this
Look at how amazing they did on Argus!!
Love the look of this set wish I could get it for less then 300 aud on Amazon
Dude I remember these things every time my family or me would go to Tesco Smith's and others we would get the blind bags. I'm gonna go buy a bunch of these thanks :D
My faviroute figure in the set is Dare because she looks really good and detailed and she looks good with her pistol. Also because ODSTs are the best
Just picked up this set on Amazon! Halo CE is my most favourite game so I could not resist the CE Johnson!!
I didn't notice this in till here recently but in the Halo 2 anniversary cutscenes the prophet of Mercy doesn't have pupils so Mega did get it right so the only Improvement we really need is just to give the Prophet of Truth the new hands and chairs for all of them of course
I got to buy this thing man
I want that Jerome so badly
Hopefully we can get single packs for each character that are far more detailed. I am interested in getting only a couple of characters from this pack, and I must concur about the gold designs...
Nice
The most decent HALO blok review I have watched, from anyone.
So it will be available in physical terms? I want it to arrive in Guadalajara.
It’s available at my Sears for $70 tho
You live in the States or Mexico?
I would kill for MEGA to reuse the mold for Rtas'Vadum but for Thel'Vadamee's halo 2 anniversary supreme commander armour we never really see it much but it would be a cool mini fig to get
I got this for christmas
Man I thought it was a target exclusive damn
I hope they restock it soon
Great video! Thanks to your review I have decided not to spend 150 bucks on this set.
I'll just buy Miranda, Rtas and the Prophet on ebay which are unique.
It is very dissapointing that it is so rare despite being a new release. I also think other characters would have been better like Tartarus, Buck or Jorge.
Evolve!
How expensive is it supposed to be?
@@zavagezealot1187 50 usd I'm pretty sure
I live in Canada, lucky me, I guess.
OOOOOHHHG
i couldnt wait any longer or wonder if they will make it more avalible so i bought it from a scalper for $72 i just had to have it
in regard to the current resell price of the set being usually upwards of $100, i think you got a good price all considering
@@HenrySylvester01 i just had to have it. there are a few sellers on ebay still for about 75 if youre interested. I still dont condone buying from scalpers but this set was much needed for me XD
I got mine for SGD$81.62
I GOT THIS FOR X-MAS AND IT IS FIRE
I really love mickey I don’t care much about the character I just like the armor (I got the set for 80 bucks
So much want
I remember I had gotten Guilty Spark when it was released.
Glad I lost that bastard after I read the Halo CE book
*Yes, read*
Lol the paint job for Johnson's eyes just makes him look depressed
Fun fact:Mercy not having pupils unlike the others is most likely intentional. See in h2a in the close ups he did not have the pupils so the non print is actually accurate
You do realize that Mercy not having pupils is canonically accurate right?
good point!
“Complete Nobel tea with out breaking the bank” 😂 like Nobel 6 isn’t 75-150 dollars
The one I got had some misprints
Miranda Keyes with a wack ass hair line
Sesa refumme helmet messed up in teh box
Emile skull is misprinted
Mister Chief unarguably the best figurine
We keep getting 2014 sets
@@SnipesS01 i mean in scotland we never got new sets after 2016
as soon as i blinked amazon 20 anaversery figure pack went into a economic crash
Iove this set although I actually think the emile is significantly worse than the halo heros especially his helmet the skull looks more painted one then carved. But all in all its great set, just wish it wasn't so expensive
mister chief is my favorite
I am more into sets than figures and don't like the gold ones at all so I think I'll pass on this one. But great video :)
Are you even able to buy sets from megabloks or do you have to go to amazon or a store?
as of right now it’s an amazon exclusive, but it’s currently sold old out. the resell price on ebay is around $80 or more
The figures shouldn't have been gold.
My first thoughts when i saw the set
I agree to disagree I think it’s pretty cool that their gold and some are better than others like I think the arbiter is better than cortanna but it is still cool that their gold
I hope the shipmaster will be in a better set, maybe with some elites and arbiter.
Halo is the GOAT
I collect a ton of lego but love halo. Is there something close to a bricklink for megablocks?
Unfortunately no. Many people are interested in the concept, tho!
@@HaloEvolvedYT Shame. As good as ebay is, it sucks for lego/mega minifigures.
Holy fuck, what the hell did they do to Cortana
quick question guys how does your family feel about you collecting toys ?
I dont know who needs to see this, but this is available for 50 bucks on Canadian Amazon right now! So if you want it go go go
you can buy it even if youre in the us?
I wasn't crazy about this set in the 1st place. There were only 3 figures that I really wanted. The Shipmaster, the Prophet, and Miranda Keyes. I have every version of the rest of them(except Master Chief. I don't want or need 30 versions of him) from either Halo Heroes or sets or both. But for $50 this set is too redundant.
For example, they released every member of Noble Team in a set. Some of them in bigger sets like Jun and Carter in the Elephant. Then they re released everyone as a Halo Heroes. If you didn't get them in one of these two ways, Mega is making it easy for you to collect all of Noble Team in the Winter Contingency set. So why did Mega include 2 of those figures in this set?! Kind of unnecessary? Maybe a waste? Or do they just like being redundant?
It's like I'm being punished for collecting the figures when they come out. Because they keep re-releasing them. But now they are releasing them with ONLY 3 new figures. This way, those of us who already have the repaints will still buy this set. And why are they including Cortana and Guilty Spark as full size figures in a set of 20. They might as well have included 2 of the original little bitty Grunts and left off Keyes and the Prophet! That makes as much sense.
If their goal was to remake a lot of hard to find figures, fine. But can anyone explain why Mega would only have the set available on Amazon? This still makes them very hard to get and will lead to people buying the sets at scalper prices anyway! That's poor planning.
I used to buy everything that Mega made for their Halo line. Now I don't. It's not that I don't have enough money. It's just that they're too redundant for me. They repaint the same figures over and over, repackage them, and then tell you that you should be happy about it. They treat their loyal fans like suckers. They got me. But now I refuse to be a sucker anymore!
It's at Canada's Toys R Us, and Mexio's Sears. So it's mainly the US getting shafted.
Great. So two stores that are basically out of business in the US carry it. Other than that, it's limited to Amazon in the US. Great job Mega. You guys are making all the wrong moves. At least we now know that it's not about money for them. Because they are leaving plenty of money on the table. And in my pocket.
I didn't know this was an Amazon Exclusive. Is it really worth getting?
How did I never know that Miranda is Halsey's daughter?!?!?
They should've left the gold figs out and put that money into weapons and paint
My mom is deciding to get this set for me and on amazon for me its only 61 dollars
1:10 nice job you've just scared away all the scalpers /s
I just want R'tas.
My Linda has a eye with extra gold point and I hate it.
I really wish they'd put more gritty details and battle damage on their figures sometimes. A simple blackwash can go so far.
Ok I don’t hate Emile he is my favorite character but ANOTHER FUCKING MEGA BLOCK FIGURE OF HIM
Unfortunately my golden master chief broke his foot out of the box. Great set tho
I swear that mega has just stop selling in Australia
Just had a look at Amazons listing for the set here in Aus and its currenty sat at AUD$276.27 it's rediculous
Haha.
Ah it kills me that they can’t ship from megas website. It would be cool if they could somehow remake the older sets also, I hate resale and amazon exclusive. It’s going to keep happening for all the upcoming sets also.
@@SnipesS01 agreed, I’d like to be able to buy random pieces too, I know it’s a crazy idea but I’m missing random stuff like a warthog wheel. So a website would be great
I’m so lucky I got one I guess?
My Emile’s skull is not centered right…
Ugh, unfortunately QA was an issue with this one
i hate the gold figures so much because you cant do anything with them, i dont want to display something to never touch it again, thats why the regular figures are so much better
where did you get this? never mind
Too bad ill never be able to get any of these figures.
Man i love being poor :)
Edit: and not having an amazon account
BRO THAT EMILE IS BLOODY AMAZING
Hey man. Can you just tell me at what time/which day you ordered this? Im refreshing every 15 minutes but I'm getting tired of it.
Preordered in August
@@SnipesS01 yeah i noticed they dont ship to europe for the retail price. I had it in my cart for 50$ but got the notification "this item does not ship to your country" when i tried to pay. The scalpers gladly ship internationally though -_-
@@SnipesS01 they don't sell it sadly
Why didn't they put this set in the US
It is in the us, but it’s an Amazon exclusive
@@jackpark2736 it’s not Amazon exclusive
@@steezyongod3558 for the US it is
@@jackpark2736 Oh yea I forgot my bad
How much was this set?
1000th like
And also where did you get this
You can ask for Placement characters if yours are deformed you just need to tell them when you got the set how long ago and then included all deformed pieces
👍😊💕💕💕💕like
First comment
woulda preferred an Infinite armor Master Chief. his Halo 4 design is really still so bad. also would have preferred an Infinite armor Linda too
Never in uk, why tho
“Without paying scalper pricing”
Haha.
Why are these impossible to get a hold of seriously another impossible micky that i cant get
How expensive?
Scalpers are the biggest virgins I’ve ever seen
wait so this is real?????
