A BIG thanks to Kevin, Yan and the rest of the MEGA design team for creating such a fantastic set for us. I for one, LOVE IT!!
Can't wait to see if you have any plans in mind for making a mega project out of this set :)
Hello there my friend? I have one and only 1 question for you 😇. . . how . . . HOW YOU GOT THIS, WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?!
@@seria3692 at some point, absolutely 👍
@@spunkyyy8957 it’s classified 🙂
This just further solidifies my belief that mega construx would do a phenomenal fallout line if they had the license
I’ve always said they would nail Star Wars too from the figure point of view. I love Lego Star Wars, don’t get me wrong, I’d just love to see what MEGA could do with it.
@@brickman1175 The ship designs would translate much better, Mega loves making custom parts! Imagine a modular clone trooper armor similar to the spartan armor!
@@CodedHumor Yep, I agree. I think they’d do and awesome job with both vehicles and figures alike. It’s never going to happen though as long as Lego wants to keep the licence sadly.
@@brickman1175 Yeah. I can dream, though. It would be cool if they picked up Bethesda titles, including Starfield!
With how Bethesda is, I'm surprised they haven't. I'd say an Elder scrolls series would do wonders.
This a beautiful set for those OG halo 3 fans who grew up playing this game and through this level over and over again!
A great set. I would have liked if the shipping container was brown or gray like the Traxus containers in the actual level, but it's fine. It would be cool if Mega gives us some factory workers to go with the set.
I was expecting a rusty red/brown for the container but I like the green too. They could sell an expansion pack with figures and another colour container.
Imagine a Covenant themed terrain set utilizing the printed pieces from the Ghost of Requiem!
I don’t think this has ever been done, Forerunner and Human only to my knowledge.
@@brickman1175exactly why we need it.
A really good set! They should make a part 2 of the set that connects with it, they can also add the Arbiter as the co-op player with other flood characters or add crazed marines from the campaign.
Agreed
This set amongst all the new sets that have recently been released, this is my #1. Loved it so much I after the first I purchased 3 more. Not even for the figures. The structure itself is so customizable. Leaving nothing but endless possibilities.
I have no megabloks and didn’t care to collect but this has definitely got me interested and purchasing one. I mainly collect Halo Jazwares, mcfarlane, joyride, and spartan collection but I think I’m about to add megabloks to my halo collection this set was too awesome to pass up
Be careful, Mega is a very expensive rabbit hole to start down 😂
I think my only real complaint with this set is I would have included a few more Combat forms. Maybe a couple of Marines on top of the Elites already in the set.
I will say it, Mega over Lego, not only Mega is a lot cheaper but their set's are just so much better in my opinion
Ive recently kind of stopped buying lego (last sets I did buy were some older sealed 2000-2010 sets, getting the last bionicle sets I wanted to collect, parting out some power miners sets, and then I have bought some of the newer speed champion sets and a few star wars sets (but those have gotten stupid expensive). I just started getting into Halo mega now instead. I had some from way back in 2009 when it first released but the quality wasnt great and I think ive either gotten rid of or lost everything I did have. The figures, customizability, and detail nowadays is INSANE and the price is so much better especially in todays economy... It sucks that all of my local targets and walmarts have STOPPED carrying halo mega (now when I FINALLY decided to give it a go). I can only find stuff at my local meijer and krogers. Ive mainly only been getting halo 3 related stuff though. Lots of grunts, the new floods, jackals, etc. I want to get some halo 3 style elites and brutes but its definitely much harder / less common...
This is such an amazing set, I’m really happy that I was able to grab one! Great review as always man!
Thank you, let’s hope distribution is wide so everyone who wants one can get one. Fingers crossed for everyone.
This set looks fantastic!! Finally it's here! I really hope I can get this set. So many cool pieces. Great review as always BrickMan.
Cheers Jon, it's available on Amazon UK at the moment, link is in the video description. You never know with MEGA how long sets will hang around for so if you do want it and you don't want to import it I'd get it now (before I buy them all :)
@@brickman1175 Thanks for the heads up! :)
Thanks for the review , this is an awesome set and I am so glad to have got a few of these already and will probably get some more yet
That's the spirit, hopefully if it's successful they'll consider a future flood set to add on to it.
This along with the UNSC firebase are going to make new MOCs awesome, already got a UNSC armour repair base idea focused around the floodgate, firebase and Scorpion clash sets
Brothers, the Prophets have blessed us!
Great review of a great set. Can't wait to get my hands on it. 🤩
Hope you enjoy it!…when you get it 👍
Thats soo cool, they made these sets!
Can't wait to get this set in 2 weeks. This looks amazing
Hope you enjoy it, just had 2 more sets arrive for myself yesterday, 2 more on their way. Looking forward to building something large with them in the future.
Man, I can not wait to get my hands on this! I’m really hoping the MEGA is gonna put this on Mattel Creations for better, easier distribution. But all in all, I can barely contain my excitement!
I hope you find a way to get one, it’s definitely a future classic.
@@brickman1175 Sorry brickman. Unless your in the usa this set 250 off scalpers right now plus 40 to 50 shippin, Not worth it at all and I live in canada too, hell even chinese reprints of flood figures go for 100 dollars on after market and being a Collector since 2009. Mattel is always joke with disturbing even before mega joined them.. in 11 plus years we got like 4 or 5 flood sets tops. But here have generic spartan and elite mark whatever for 5000th time. I was shocked they was sooo generous with grunt figures during infinites launch wave. Good luck seriously even I might have to cough up that price tag for this set. Not fun.
Amazon exclusive my man, won't be coming to matelcreations
@@sightlessblood4860 yes :(
Man I want this set so badly! I love the structure, and the figures are just… spectacular man! I also love all of the weapon crates and smaller structures, makes it feel more alive! Great review and keep up the awesome content!
If you like it in the video you’ll like it more in hand. It’s awesome.
You could reuse the factory for the storm
If you still have your Moc, i would love to see a comparison between both sets.
And also a video on any cool ideas you come up with for this set. 👍
Sadly I stripped the MOC to use the parts for other stuff. I can however say that this set is about 50% smaller than my MOC to give you an idea of size comparison. If I do get more sets I’ll definitely cover it in a video 👍
This set looks absolutely amazing and I will defo be buying more than 1 and awesome review as allways man
It’s a great set for sure
This product is ganna be like halo 3 game marketing* lol
It’s an interesting point, Halo 3 is so old now yet the hype for this set was like the game released yesterday.
Got to say he’s carrying and keeping mega alive hahha
Other way round, but thanks 😁
Got mine in too 😎 can't wait to upgrade it!
It’s taking an iron will to stop me from ordering another 10 of these. I’m holding out for Amazon to discount them. I may regret that.
I odered this a couple daus ago and i don't think I've ever been more excited for a set mega or Lego!
You must have it by now, hope you’re enjoying it.
@@brickman1175 yeah it's awesome
Tempted to get another just to try my hands at making a moc
Just ordered 2 more myself, couldn't help it, it's not my fault, the Flood made me do it...
Very spot on review of the set. Thanks. Since it is so limited, I have not open any of mine and it is good to see this in depth review.
Thanks Jon, it’s worth opening 1 if you have somewhere to display it. Mines going in the cubes 😄
This will become ubiquitous just like the 20th anniversary did. 20th anniversary sold out quickly but now is very easily accessed.
@@sightlessblood4860I hope so
This set is a parts gold mine! Hope I can snag a couple!
It sure is, they don’t come along all that often either so I’m going* to try to get a good few too. Although Amazon UK have just put the price up from £75 to £100 for some reason, hopefully they’ll drop it back down when the restock arrives.
It's really good to see that this set has been readily available for you UK Mega fans. This NEEDED to be available and Mega has set good groundwork for it.
Side note, what camera/lens setup do you typically use?
Absolutely, this could be the first step in reestablishing a foothold in the UK market, I really do hope so.
Everything I produce is filmed with my iphone 7 & 11.
and when will we ever see this in stores? Never:(
Sadly not for this set. Amazon exclusive I believe.
Yeah, it is indeed an Amazon exclusive
Yes!
What ever Mega Blocks is doing..Lego needs do..because this is how you make a set fun!
Agreed, I collet Lego Star Wars too but it's Mega that gets all my attention.
@@brickman1175 YT for some reason keeps removing my comments even though I've said practically nothing that would warrant removal..anyway was saying that the quality for Mega Blocks look pretty good..not bought lego really for a long time when I kept noticing that their bricks and pieces would start to develop hair line cracks...a little friendly tip though for the fork lift truck regarding the forks...try (kiki fix loose joints action figure) it's like non permanent glue and can be removed quite easily by finger nail or cocktail stick etc..the stuff dries clear and adds an extra layer to hold things more firmly.
@@theonemasterwarhero CZcams has been a hot mess for years now, it’s anybody’s guess what’s going on behind the algorithms closed doors. At least this one got through. MEGA has certainly come on leaps and bounds since the early years, it will be interesting to see what the next few years will bring now it looks like they are finally getting on top of their distribution issues. Still a long way to go but they’re getting there. Thanks for the tip on the glue, haven’t heard of that before but sounds like great stuff.
I personally would have loved to see the warden eternal
I think we’ll still see the warden in the future. If not, I’ll have a bash myself.
This is definitely by far the best halo set.
*ODST Hive Exterminators would like to know your location*
Nice
Im getting this tomorrow
It's Flood time!!!
Im curious what YOU will do with this set, your mocs are always insanely impressive.
Heres a idea for if you have a extra fork lift take that an the Blue Exo suit. I think it could be enough to make a Alien Power loader From Alien 2.
This something I have considered and will more than likely tackle in the future, I have plenty of Flood Gate sets waiting for me to find the time 👍
It would be nice to have flood infested Unsc marine and a brute
Yes it would.
For the price of 75 $ on mega site its a very good offer
Yooo it's here? I should've saved
I have the og floodgate and I have this set and the brown looks exactly the same to me maybe a slight difference due to age
I'm going to compare this set to the others so I'll take a good look in that video.
The flood splatter on Chief doesn't quite look as good as I'd hoped and the lack of flame piece is disappointing but other than that it's a phenomenal set, MEGA knocked it out of the park.
Awesome set, I wonder if this could be combined with the deployed form of the new elephant.. :)
Unlikely but I see what you're saying.
all sets was soooooo insane, i'm sad they just made one :(
It’s a shame we didn’t get a buildable Warden, paired with the buildable Chief. It would’ve been cool as fuck
I suspect we may yet still get one.
Hey I’ve been looking for these for forever. What stores are you finding these at?
Amazon exclusive, if you’re in the UK there is a link in the description
Hey brick man! Would love to see you go through a list of sets you as a Diorama collector would buy for Foliage and General building blocks. I’ve heard you in the past talk about purchasing Pokémon sets?
I’ve concluded that it’s just too expensive to buy Pokémon sets in bulk for foliage. I5 is the easiest way but far to expensive for the average bear sadly. Thanks for the suggestion.
When is this and the falcon going to come out?
This is an Amazon exclusive, available from most Amazon online stores. The link for Amazon Uk is in the description if that helps. Amazon US sold out so they have removed the page, when it comes back I’ll add the link to the description.
The Falcon is scheduled for Q3 of this year, so July-September range
will this set come to stores?
Amazon exclusive
Question should I buy it I do love flood
Only if you have the cash, I think if you like Flood this is a must have, that way you can add the Halo Heroes series 18 Marine flood figures to it when they release properly. Not to mention any other Flood sets they might release in the future.
Ok, I'll start saving. I have some other flood 20 of their infection forms, and one of the cyclops with the flood figure
No I am a mega bloks fan of halo
When will it release
Out now, link is in the description if you are in the uk.
How do I obtain these in stores if they aren't even in Walmart or Targets?
Amazon exclusive I’m afraid
@@brickman1175 thank you
Hey do you or one of the commenters know how much flood gate cost? And also the new elephant’s price?
Floodgate Firefight is supposed to retail for $75, Elephant is $200 I believe.
@@brickman1175 😲 that is a bit to much for me (oh my god that is so much money)
5:05 "when people can get more than one set ...."
I certainly hope this can be a reality Brickman. I cant even find one yet that isnt double the retail. That or when it opens up for sale, gets immediately sold out. I hope its just bc its early and distribution isnt in full swing just yet. This was one i was REALLY looking forward to but im worried its availability will be limited. Everyone keeps pointing to the anniversary pack as proof it will be widely available after a theoretical restock. I press X to doubt. Maybe im being cynical but im getting tired of playing the "will it/won't it" game.
I hear you, loud and clear. It’s so strange that after about 6 years of being in your shoes we in the UK have been able to purchase this set readily, for retail, direct from Amazon UK, and have been able to for about 3-4 weeks. I’m not saying that to rub it in, I’m saying it to highlight the fact that something ‘is’ changing with MEGAs distribution. Will it last? Who knows, but it’s a welcome step in the right direction for us UK MEGA fans.
Hopefully it will be heavily restocked in the US and Mexico as you guys make up the the bulk of the remaining loyal fans/collectors and are there for the ones that have been very patiently keeping the lights on for MEGA whilst they try to sort out making their product available globally again.
Fingers crossed you’ll be able to get your hands on it soon as I know all to well about playing the will I or won’t I get it game, frustrating to say the least.
@@brickman1175 I completely understand Brickman and would never get the impression you were rubbing it in. I appreciate your speculation and positivity. I'm glad you all are finally getting some decent distribution, I've heard all the horror stories of trying to get Mega out of the states. I've been resorting to buying cheap old/incomplete sets off ebay and Mercari bc I can find almost nothing in physical retail (nothing that I've already bought multiple of anyhow). I do hope it works out for all Mega fans and I really do want them to succeed as a company.
There is still hope! Kevin confirmed that there will be restocks just like we saw the anniv pack restocked. He said he doesn't know when yet but it will come.
@@DemarcationMedia oh hi Demarcation! Fancy seeing you here! I certainly hope that is true. I guess I'm just being cynical. I just don't want to get my hopes up bc it's only happened once and (in my mind) isn't guaranteed to happen again.
@@ebomb1133 Fair enough. I do think this will follow suit though
Why do I see someone making a build using the forklift for the forklift mech from aliens
You are not alone, I see if too
how much is the price of the set?
$75
Biggest issues I have with this set is that the pieces are too large and some of plastic colours don't match. This comes off more of a model set than a block set.
How can you buy this?
Amazon, link is in the description if you are UK based.
I feel like mega construx would be so much more successful if they made for flood figures and sets… I would be bankrupt by now 😂
Bruh
Don't thank mega, thank Mattel we would not be here today if it wasn't for them
I cannot believe they put a skull in. that's the first one right
I think it’s the second time, the first came in one of the helmet sets that have 2 figures inside.
@@brickman1175 ahh yes I forgot about that. I wonder if it is a different print
@@lsbc9666 I believe so, even though I have the helmet set I referred to I haven’t opened it so can’t say. I would imagine they choose a different one given how many in game variants there are.
@@brickman1175 Yes the helmet set was the oddball skull and the flood firefight one is the fog skull!
This set looks great, but the price tag is really turning me away. Just seems way too expensive for what we're getting. $90 - $100 is not easy top cough up (CAD)
MEGA have confirmed that this set is due to run through 2024 so there is a good chance i5 will get discounted at some point. Although it is MEGA so you never can tell.
@brickman1175 Oh good to note. Will keep an eye on it!
I made it 1k likes
It was me
🥳
I really miss Mega construx sets but they just became way too sparse to keep up with. I have COD, Destiny, Assassins, MOTU and GOT as well as Halo. Even some pokemon. ITS JUST TOO HARD AND EXPENSIVE now.
It's not easy being a Mega collector but when it's good its good.
How much does it cost
£78.00 I think it's about $80 but prices vary.
@@brickman1175 The official retail price is $75 but yeah, it kind of varies
Mildly disappointing that there aren't any human combat forms
Agreed but thankfully we get a heroes version soon. If you can get one...
Sorry brickman. Unless your in the usa this set 250 off scalpers right now plus 40 to 50 shippin, Not worth it at all and I live in canada too, hell even chinese reprints of flood figures go for 100 dollars on after market and being a Collector since 2009.

I was shocked they was sooo generous with grunt figures during infinites launch wave. Good luck seriously even I might have to cough up that price tag for this set. Not fun at all.
It’s always painful hearing how many committed fans just can’t get their hands on product. I feel for you.
Amazon exclusives will eventually always be easy to get. Look at the 20th anniversary and how easy it is to get now ;-)
Why doesn’t target sell halo mega anymore?! Does anyone know why?
Nobody knows for sure. Apart from Target but they haven’t released anything official.
