I was extremely poor as I child and rn I'm a college student with bigger priorities, meaning ive never been in a position to get a phantom. So when I say i say you're living this guy's dream, believe me.
Super cool~! If you can't come across the parts needed to complete the last two, they might work in dioramas as either crashed ships in the terrain or getting blasted out of the sky while attempting to deploy their troops. The beginning of Halo Reach's Long Night of Solace mission, or Winter Contingency comes to mind. Hope to see something really cool come out of at least a couple of them!
It’s a good idea, there was also one that was quite badly sun damaged (not sure if it is was obvious in the video). When I built it my immediate reaction was “that’s ruined and good for nothing” but once it was complete I realised the patchwork effect of some sun damaged and some unaffected pieces made it look like an aged, post war Phantom that had been patched up time and time again, similar to how the Millennium Falcon ends up looking, I quite like it. This then got me wandering if I was able to modify some of the incomplete Phantoms to look like they intentionally had some of the purple/grey plating removed exposing the inner workings of the ship (again, much like the Falcon).
I am so envious of your collection, i live in europe and basically the only way to get these sets is to either get lucky on ebay and find someone from usually germany selling sets or just pay ridicilous amounts of money for shipping from the UK or US. We dont even get the newer sets in stores around here, amazon has those of course but with shipping and import fees you end up paying nearly 70€ for a set like arbiters quest or over 200€ for the halo infinite pelican set. It sucks but nothing i can do about it really except give up or pay up. Still, its awesome to see the sets built on your display, the collection overall is very impressive. I think ill just keep collecting lego star wars sets for now
It’s so frustrating reading comments like this, if MEGA could just figure out how to supply their product globally again like in the old days they could grow their consumer base again. Instead they continue to upset what’s left of an ever decreasing fan base by failing to deliver on their promises. Hopefully one day things will improve for us all.
@@brickman1175 agreed absoulutely, where i live we never had any of the larger sets in store, only the smaller sets but it was atleast something. No clue why they decided to stop selling sets here unless its something to do with distribution costs. We do still have the pokemon sets in stores though, its not like they forgot about europe or anything
@@falloutgamer347 Yes, the Halo distribution is a mystery. If they can get Pokeman on shelves world wide then they should be able to get Halo alongside it. I'm not sure we'll ever know the truth. Either way it sucks.
I got these before Mega went up in value, back in the good old days people would sell entire collections in the Uk consisting of 10-15 sets including Phantoms, Pelicans, short swords, long swords etc for £75-£100. Nowadays you have to pay £100 plus just for a Phantom or Pelican Gunship, oh how times have changed.
Honestly It would be quite nice to see the phantoms in like an assembly line of sorts while you still don’t have all the parts and over time as you get the said parts have them put in a more conventional line.
I have this kind of idea lined up for another vehicle, just need to find the time to implement it. It would be amazing to do i5 with the Phantom but due to their size what I have planned wouldn’t be possible due to available parts.
Do you think that an unboxed complete phantom will ever go up in price? I feel like Halo as an IP is dying. Don't know whether to sell all my stuff or not...
i got an idea and this one is a challenge i challenge you to build an ultimate scarab and I'm not talking about the halo 3 scarab i mean the halo 2 anniversary scarab
A group of those phantoms give me so much joy similar to a group of LEGO gunships.
I agree, seeing solid brix studios collection of gunships inspired me to do similar with the phantoms and pelicans.
Absolutely love this. Can watch this video over and over. I love the older sets. Really missed the old days.
Thanks Jon, it was fun to put this video together, I’m going through the entire collection so plenty more classic MEGA content to come 👍
i would give my left foot for a updated covenant phantom. Always a pleasure watching your videos!
Thank you, appreciated.
Something about the classic purple covenant vehicles are so cool bring me back to the best days of my life being a kid playing halo 2-3
It would be great to see it make a return in MEGA.
Thanks for the update , awesome display place
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 😊
This dude has buckets of phantoms like he’s a successful fisherman!
This is my favourite comment of the day, made me laugh 😂. Thank you
@@brickman1175 you’re welcome!

*childhood memories intensify*
I can’t wait to get myself a proper display room for my sets.

I love watching your videos showing all you vehicles and sets I am always at awwwwww in what I may never have I would kill to get at least 1 phantom
It would be a cool idea if you made a MAC cannon and used all those phantoms in a diorama to recreate that one mission from halo reach.
This is a very cool idea, I’m adding it to the ideas list for future content. Good job! 👍
Yay a full video again
oh i think hes gonna make a covenant base with all this phantom on stand by ready for launch.
it would be really awesome if you made an ultimate covenant phantom build but that's awesome
I’d still like to have a go one day but it’s pretty low down on my priority list for now. It would look super cool if I pulled it off though.
It looks so beautiful
Thanks buddy, always great to see you in the comments 👍

Crazy how he has 8 of them but I can’t find a single one online for sale only ones available are 200 dollars for a USED one
Same its unreal

I would literally give my life for all those phantoms
true
Wtf
They are very nice…but not that nice 😉
If you ever decide to sell one of those, I’m will to buy depending on the price!😁
Unlikely but thanks all the same
I still own my wave one set of two spartans, two flamers, two elites and two grunts
Nice, hold onto them 👌
It might be a stupid question, but how do you hang your phantoms and other flying vehicles? Might make for a good tutorial video.
I use fishing line. Good suggestion on the video, I’ll incorporate into a future video somewhere along the line.
9 phantoms is crazy bro let me get one

Nine Phantoms!?
One more and you would reach the amount of Phantoms a Covenant CCS class Battlecruiser would carry around!...
I didn’t know that, thank you 👍
Do you think that an unboxed complete phantom will ever go up in price? I feel like Halo as an IP is dying. Don't know whether to sell all my stuff or not...
I think Halo will bounce back and when it does all things Halo will bounce back with it.
It would be blasphemy for you not to make a covenant invasion diorama
I have a couple of ideas 😉
ODST firefight moc?
i got an idea and this one is a challenge i challenge you to build an ultimate scarab and I'm not talking about the halo 3 scarab i mean the halo 2 anniversary scarab
Maybe one day…but not today 😊
@@brickman1175 ok man
I'd still buy mega sets if they were actually released lmao
Yeah, distribution sucks
Yep, it’s are hard slog these days.
This may sound greedy but may I buy one of the phantoms off you because I can't find no covenant phantom no more
Sorry, not for sale
Hmm it seems yo me youre moving your forces yo new Mombasa
😂 it does look that way.
He literally has thousands of dollars of these phantoms
Wow me subscribo
Can you please sell me one I don’t care if the stickers are missing. I don’t care if there’s no characters I just want the phantom name your price.
Sorry, I don’t sell sets.
