- My review of the Mega Construx Halo set FVK37 - UNSC Infinity.
I've added two custom built Strident-Class Heavy Frigates and one Covenant Cruiser.
The set was originally planned to come with 4 Frigates and 1 Enemy Cruiser but this never happened for reasons unknown to me.
Let me know your thoughts...
What you need to know...
I buy all my new sets from Amazon.com: amzn.to/2MVF0sM

We need a pillar of autumn or truth and reconciliation
Agreed (truth and reconciliation)
YES
What about CSO-Class Supercarrier
They would be kinda pointless because they would just be another big ship too similar for being worthwhile
@@Siren220 The autumn or T&R are both significantly different to the infinity
When you opened the box and I say the big picture of the recreation of the scene with Chief seeing the infinity from the game, it have me goose bumps. Thank you for reviewing.
No problem, and I know what you mean.
You spoil us collectors with these stop motion builds and reviews, Brick Man 117. Awesome production quality and analysis/insight. Thanks for putting in the time and keep it up!
Thanks Colin, that's a really kind comment. As long as people keep watching I'll keep producing as I'm really enjoying it.
2:00 I like to imagine this part as something out from the cancelled Halo Mega Bloks/Construx game, being honest here.
Anybody else want a shadow of intent set like this. Come on mega show the classic halos some love
I do, If they produced one with their currently available parts inventory it could potentially be amazing. It seems inevitable that if Mega do continue to build signature series sets (Big if) they will produce at least one of the many famed covenant cruisers/carriers. It's a no brainer in my mind.
@@brickman1175 how about...
High charity.
Here I'm hoping for the Spirit of Fire
I’m glad I bought three of these! One is actually fully built and is on display in my Halo Room while the other two are factory sealed in their original outer shipping carton. I display the box for the Infinity that is built in a separate display case as the box is so damn big. My son’s college mates always say to me “damn, you have three of these? They’re selling for like $1,000.00 on Amazon right now because they don’t make them anymore!.”
I reluctantly bought 2 as to be honest I wasn’t taken by the concept, box art or previews of the finished result. I almost only got 1 but didn’t want to regret not having one sealed.
I paid $80.00 each and wasn’t particularly confident it was a wise investment as they were available on Amazon at a heavily reduced price for ages so figured they would never be worth anything. Oh how wrong I was, as you say, $1000 a pop, funny how things work out. Lucky you having 3 😄
Hey i dont know if youd be up to sell one but i dont have much so respond if you will
The time where your little cousin comes into your house and "Accidentally" dropped it.
I would never let him in to my house again
If that happened then there would be a kid missing
If my cousin did that (even tho I don't have little cousin's, but have had children break my shit before) I would tie them up and put them in the basement
What cousin
The Maw MOC!
Jesus Christ this set is a monster. It took me 3.5 days to build this on my own. Now it stands on my dresser in my room and I look at it and I gotta day it looks badass af. (After building it, my fingers hurt a lot lmao)
Chicken Fingers took me 12 hours
It's cool for display but I rather have play features instead of looks
I really hope Mega keeps making Halo sets for a long time. I'll never get tired of building my collection of Halo mega
Great video. Mega Construx needs to give us a Pillar of Autumn. I'd buy a whole fleet's worth!
Would you be able to post a video on how you build the frigates and covenant ship?
Sure can but it will take a bit of time as I'll want to get it right, watch this space...
Thank you! Ill be waiting, i cant wait to add some to my infinity! I spent 5 hours and only built a 102 steps XD
That's what I was gonna ask lol. Thank you😊
Hardcore Halo Id love too see a miniature escort fleet for the infinity. Not just the frigates, by the pillar of autumn 2 class cruisers.
Brick Man 117 did i miss the mini builds? 👀 those do look awesome.
Somehow only now just came across your videos and I love them! I really enjoy watching quality reviews like yours of Mega’s Halo sets and seeing what others think. I personally don’t think this set is as cool as the Forward Unto Dawn, although I don’t have one yet. Still. It’s kind of my holy grail of Halo collecting, I dream of the day I finally get one.
I do like this set though and enjoyed building it. It certainly does look fantastic on display. I agree with your points as to why Mega (sadly) opted not to included the mini frigates, and also wonder if another reason was because they decided to instead include them as the Ultra Rares in the new line of blind bag figures. Either way it was disappointing not to get them with this set, although now at least we do have some (2 at the time of this writing).
Keep up the awesome work I really look forward to more! :)
Thanks Tim, I really appreciate the feedback. I don't have the FOD either, like you I hope to one day purchase one although given the cost they go for it is sadly unlikely to happen. It's on my long list of MOCs to one day create.
Nice review and build. well done.
Thank you
Great looking ship and great review. I could be wrong but it seems to be designed to be a display piece rather than something to play with.
I think you are correct with it being designed for display but they wanted to cover all the bases so included limited play features.
I just got mine for $93 at Target
Brick Man, I have to know
Amazon has it for $150. Never bought a signature series set before. Worth it?
For me yes, this set is more for collectors than casual buyers. It is still on my display shelves and gets the most attention from visitors. just my opinion. Ultimately it's your decision.
Apparently you can get it at target for cheaper.
I think as low for 120 somehow. Some kind of deal or something.
But was my first (maybe second, I have the H3 Pelican) series signature.
Definitely worth it.
@@DeathByLego its 100 now
i actually have this set its very good worth a buy.
You can get it on ebay for 115 dollars
Video number 22: that thing is huge! It definitely does help when you look at it further back at it, it makes it look more like a model. I really like the control room and armory, especially the weapons, despite what some people think, I think that 1 colored weapons are great because then you don't have some weapons being colored and some not, for me it makes it a little bit more organized I guess or just uniformity. The figures are awesome too, especially chief and cortana, thats like the only reason and the weapons why I would buy that set. well also for the infinity but it's just too big for me.... I have no space. Great review, That hotdog piece is weird
What we need...
Is a Mantle's Approach lego set. That would be so badass. Or a Cryptum Lego set.
EDIT: I meant to put mega block set
Watch out lads, he might do a mega build on the Infinity
a bit strange looking but INSANELY GOOD
They need to make Paris class heavy frigate
Agreed
What about the pillar of autumn
@@dontuseyourcellulardata7599 order of priority: Paris class, Pillar of Autumn, whatever
I would like to see some Covenant ships as well. Like a Carrier or Battlecruiser. It would be cool to see an orbital defense platform too.
You have earned a sub
I would love to know what parts I need for your Strident class ship UNSC and Covenant. I would love to build them and place them with my Infiniti.
Mega needs to make the spirit of fire
Great video. EPIC
Thank you
Mine seems to be missing a few pieces. I was very careful when opening the bags and had a organized building set up. 2 very small pieces I can’t find
They need to make more of these. I mean they are so damn awesome!
Hopefully we’ll get a Spirit of Fire one day
YES! That ship was definitely my favourite the way it looks is awesome!
I really wish I could get back into lego and Mega construx, but by the time I was 12 I had gotten tired of sets with missing pieces or wrong pieces. I bought a Halo 4 Mantis set once, and for the top part, it came with two right sided slants for the head.
This reminds me of Fowrd unto dawn set
Hey I was wondering if you knew the Exact Measurements of the unsc Infinity? I’m looking to buy a Display shelf and I need it’s Total Length, I know it’s 31 inches but I wanna be sure. but I also needs its Width I need to make sure whatever shelf I buy is Wide and Long enough. Please and Thank You!
Really liking the look. But aside from the missing parts, I am worried about how the mega construx UNSC Infinity’s dimensions compares to the source materiel HALO 4-5 UNSC Infinity. Especially due to how the mega construx UNSC Forward unto Dawn compares to the HALO 4 UNSC Forward unto Dawn.
The ships dimensions are definitely not to scale compared to the in game ship but as a stand alone piece it is unmistakably the Infinity as I'm sure you'll agree. From certain angles it is obviously wrong but if you can look past this it is a nice set.
I would love a full blown covenant ship
I have this and can tell you that this is needed for and display especially if you can build a mini landscape beneath it.
Yes, I've seen someone do something similar somewhere, very effective and as you say, great on display. Maybe I'll get back to it one day if I ever build the infinity back up.
Now we need a covenant ship
We need a gravemind lego set
What other future sets are you thinking of building? Do you do just mega construx or lego too?
My plan is to build and record every set Mega have produced for their Halo range that I have, there all new to me. At present I'm focusing on Mega Bloks/Construx but I do have a small Star Wars Lego collection (Mainly UCS) as well as the Technic range. I don't have any plans to build these sets at the moment but I do have a sister channel set up for Lego in case I change my mind.
Thanks for the comment and likes.
oh wow!
Great vid! How did you put together the frigates/enemy cruiser. I built a miniature frigate myself but its not the best. Yours look really good!
Thanks. Visit my channel, there is a tutorial showing you how to build them both.
I was unfortunate with the unsc mammoth set I couldn't build it for a few months because 80 brick peices were missing from the set and getting the missing parts for it took so long
what is ur intro song? i really like it
Best set every
I wish they made a shadow of intent set that would be cool
Gonna be honest. They could’ve made the shape of it a little bit more crisp
Do you have a manual for the Small Heavy Frigates?
There is a build tutorial on my channel with a parts list too :)
Spirit of fire 🙏
Yes please
This was on my shelve dusting away so I did what any sensible person would do and destroyed it for parts, I must say it did a good job at that, with all the flat pieces I made a bombed out city, and with the normal pieces made a decent unsc outpost fit with armory, sleeping quarters, and a helipad for my falcon. I hate to say it but this set did better for me as spare parts
I used mine to build the Banished Phantom MOC so I hear you, I do like the set but it's definitely just a display piece and if I had to choose between taking apart the Banished Phantom or the Infinity the Infinity would loose every time.
@@brickman1175 oh yeah I loved your banished phantom, do you think it might show up in your AA gun moc?
@@brickman1175 my bad, just as I posted that comment I watched your trailer for the moc and saw it lol. Looks very good 👍 you always do make such great mocs
2 year anniversary for the vidddd
at the start when he says "the infinity orbiting an unknown planet" that planet is reach
You do know Reach would still look dark grey on the surface but clear skies from the glassing
Reach is a looooot greener. And even at that, itd be greyish or orange because of the glassing.
The planet the Infinity is orbitting on the box art is actually Requiem, home of the Didact.
It is NOT Reach. Reach was glassed 5 years prior to Halo 4, and is a hellhole now.
@@dr.boring7022 requiem is a shield world. It's grey
@@TheCitedAviator Requiem is only gray on the inside of the planet. But on the outside, it has regular forests and trees. Very similar to the Halo Rings.
What I really want is a mega Construx Pillar of Autumn :(
Yes, me too.
You should make a video of how to build the frigates and cruiser
There are build videos for both on my channel.
My only complaint is the proportions. It looks good on box, but on my shelf it would look better if the mid section (thick part) was 4-8 studs longer. I was also missing pieces too, but I was able to adjust. I’m used to it since my scarab was missing a few large and many small pieces.
I agree, if you get too close or compare to the in game ship it is wrong in quite a few places. If your not overly familiar with the in game ship or you can overlook the proportion issues it's still a nice display peace imo.
@@brickman1175 Oh I still love it to be sure. I'm the only person I know irl who will ever notice.
i think it would have been a cool easter egg if they tried to up the part count a little bit to be like 2525 or 2552.
Shame, this build doesn't include the extra frigates and covenant cruiser
Everytime I See Your Thumbnails I Always Think That They Are @JANGBRICKS Thumbnails.
It's just a bit dull compared to the forward unto dawn or other ultimate builds that came before. It deeded those frigates in its belly to be interesting
I hear you on this, definitely not a set for everyone.
It is a shame MEGA didn’t Include the smaller ships, I would have loved that. As for how much it weighs, it is 6lbs on the dot.
Thanks for the info on the weight Cody. Your right regarding the smaller ships, although mine are not official it makes the infinity look so much better on display with them than without them, it increases the sense of size by placing smaller ships along side it.
Brick Man 117
Yeah no problem, I was a little surprised when I weighed my Infinity, it’s even though it’s got a lot of hollow spaces it’s still a big hunk of plastic!
I agree your smaller ships make the Infinity look a lot better. I’ve always loved the idea of having a to scale fleet of warships displayed next to each other
Can you make a custom UNSC Infinity a little bit better I was just wondering if u could make a video about that since u made the pelican a little bit better to so its just an idea but I know you have other bills to do as well cuz other people have asked but I'm just asking if u could make a build like that
Helljumper960 Rage Monkey Ultimate Gaming - Maybe one day but it's not that high up on my priority list, mainly down to parts availability.
How do you not have more subscribers?
Thanks for the boost Aussie cat, I only started the channel in Feb so it's quite young but growing consistently. Roll on 1000 subs :)
Thanks for replying.
Good luck in the future! :)
Was this available to buy in the uk... if so what was the price and is it still available to buy now
I don't think so, I imported mine from the states.
@@brickman1175 found 1 on ebay £307 plus £80 shipping... tempted but maybe not enough lol
They did not include them because they put them in blind bags that’s what I think
You may be right on this, I shall investigate.
The visor for the chief just doesn't look nice to me
Are the other 3 ships goes with it
No, just the main ship and figures come with this set. If you wanted to build the smaller ships I have instructions on my channel.
Tourtoials on the mini ship s please
They are on my channel, one for each ship 😁
Technically there are frigates, but only two. There are two frigates at the back right next to the smaller engines, VERY close to the side
What I think I’m disappointed by the most is the size like the pelican is literally bigger
I will buy it only for having that silver hot dog for display 😂
Same 🤣
ah yes, telling by the thumbnail, they included the CCS so you can recreate "the funny"
How much is this???
No longer available at retail, original MSRP was $199.99.
No handle for this box!, they actually saved 10cents/box...thats so great for them but can be a burden for the carrying task!, all other signature series have the transport handle btw. Also, they managed to over-simplified and reduced the design size and slick quality compared to the previous one, see czcams.com/video/IPGokzwVgYk/video.html. I like better slim finish lines rather than dotted ones (makes it look cheaper as per asia style low cost legos). A part from that its an OK product ..but not worth 300$ CAD in my opinion. I would of put at least one rare to find character in there for collectors to get but you you can find the characters anywhere on the net. I hope the upcoming Halo Infinity game on new xbox will revive the trend again so that it would be worth my 300$ lol
If only had a good interior.
Am i the only who doesn't think this looks all that good. Idk it looks messy to me and could've been tiled off more
You’re not the only one, I too was very disappointed when it first got released. I thought it looked unfinished and generally not something I was bothered about getting to have on display. Building it and seeing it first hand completely changed my mind (I wish I’d got more now). Could it be tiled off more…sure, is it as good as the original FUD…not sure as I don’t have it.
If they would have released a "Halo 3 Version " of the "Forward Unto Dawn" I would have bought it in a heart beat, but unfortunately we just have the crappy halo 4 version of 343 designs😂😂😂
No te entendí ni madres pero buen video
puede mostrar como arma las micro naves
lo siento no hablo español
Brick Man 117 I mean if you can show as a weapon the micro ships of unsc and covenant
No
Jesús Rosales why not
Jesús Rosales because that takes too much time
I miss the stickers
Why couldn't Lego partner with Halo 😭
It would be very interesting to see LEGO's take on Halo I agree,
It would’ve been ok but most people agree the figures would’ve looked weird. But it would be interesting
Wait wtf is mega construx? Is that mega bloks? Why name change? Sorry haven’t been here for a long time - a long time...
Why do mega bloks have that marbled effect? It's horrid and looks like such poor quality.
I think it looks good. Adds more texture to their sets
