Ya gotta admit, the falcon is so good they should restock it every year for the next couple of them, maybe 2 more years, but I'd say no more than 5 or once people stop chomping at the bit trying to get them, even now so many have missed out on it thanks to scalpers, it really does need the 20th anniversary character pack treatment up until they start to not move product quite as well
Someone at MEGA loves Halo as much as the fans do, they wouldn't be giving us such obscure characters and details, or listening to us as intently as they do if they didn't. Such an awesome company
I started with the locust set back in 09. It’s crazy how far they’ve come. As of recently it sucks being in my region there’s been little to no sets anywhere at any retail store. It’s a big shame. I remember in 2020 I found them everywhere. Now it’s just completely vanished. I’ve resorted to having to buy everything online. My favorite set form 2020-2023 has to be the flood set. It’s just too perfect. I’m hoping things will get better in the future. I’m here to stick through it. Great vid and pretty much agree with most of the list.
My Mega Halo collection started with the *Recon Getaway x2* and the *Warthog Rally* . Later I added to that the *Ghost of Requiem*, the yellow heroes *Elite Warlord*, the *Marine Gear Pack* and the *Hornet Recon* . Yesterday I ordered the *Traxus Flood Firefight* as a final piece! All included this yielded me a nice squad of marines with an ODST specialist, a sweet Covenant lance and a handful of Flood.
Honestly I personally would've put the Falcon Sweep over the ODST Hive Exterminators SET WISE, distribution and availability and on top of that the aftermarket price, you are right that the ODST Hive Exterminators set is better, don't worry I still think this sets amazing, just set wise the worth you get from the Falcon Sweep is easily superior. (Amazing video as always Zee!!!) (btw if you turn bro-hammers harness upside down it becomes overalls if you didn't know.)
The floodgate firefight is one of the most army-building friendly sets out there, as well as a great way to set up giant fight scenes! I’d love to have the Falcon Sweep so bad, but honestly I do not have the space for it. I’d have to clear an entire shelf to fit it.
It is a shame i love making stops and i wanted to do a reach stops featuring the new falcon since its updated to fit the new figures. Ima hope mega sees its so popular and they make another release
Those are both great sets, the 20th pack would almost have made it if a lot of the figures hadn't been released in other sets, like Arbiter's Quest, Falcon Sweep, etc
I remember the little display I made when I picked up my first two Halo sets- the Warthog Rally and the Recon Getaway. It’s hard for me to believe it was almost three years ago, it feels like yesterday. The first wave of Infinite sets is so nostalgic for me.
"Top 10 BEST Mega Halo Sets 2020 to 2023" You mean all of them? Jk in all seriousness, I think 2020 and 2022 gave us some of the best Mega sets ever made. Warthog Rally is a beautiful set. Amazing build and minifig line up. Its the perfect starter set for a new collector. Elephant Sandnest (yes I count it as a 2022 set) is awesome despite being a little overpriced and Falcon Sweep is just peak. Floodgate Firefight would have been one of the best sets ever had they not botched the Flood so badly and included some more stuff.
I got the Falcon Sweep for Christmas and I gotta admit it's pretty epic. Also do you know if Mega will ever release anymore Assassins Creed or Call of Duty sets? We haven't had any of those for a while.
I just got into collecting in like mid 2021, and have gotten a few of the sets razorback blitz, unsc and banished combat units, that Halo Wars 2 banished brute customizer pack, the Spartan customizer pack, and the banshee breakout set, but for the most part I’ve just stuck with single packaged figures/blind bags to build my collection. I have more of a love for banished/covenant figures so I have somewhere in the 40s for those figures while I got somewhere in the 30s for UNSC. But I’ve got the recon getaway set and the banished garrison pack coming in the mail at some point. I wanted to get more variety in my elites since all I have is the different colored ultras and I also really like getting marines for the UNSC.
Personally, based on sets I was actually able to get (so most are 2020 sets) 10: 2020 Mongoose set 9: 2020 Banished Banshee 8: Marine Platoon pack 7: Warthog Rally 6: Red team charge warthog 5: Hornet 4: Skiff Intercept 3: Banished Phantom 2: floodgate firefight (BECAUSE FINALLY A STRUCTURE!!) 1: Arbiter's quest. list will be updated once my Elephant arrives.
@@DemarcationMedia It doesn't beat the Halo Wars 2 Banshee but I personally love it, the ultra and recon are great figures and I like the design of the banshee. cheap and basic but good.
hey demarcation media! The number 8 banished garrison grunt is probably Briglard! If you notice in every set that released a mule grunt, this is the only one in RED, unlike grey. Which very looks similar to briglard.
I think the best way to bring back the elite heretics is to make another flood combat set. We could get 2 elite combat forms with the gold heretic armor, 2 elite heretics and 2 heretic grunts, a new flood carrier mold would be nice too.
solid list.... However, I don't understand all the hype for the mongoose outriders set, other than it's popular because it's rare. And I don't just mean from your video, I've seen a lot of people talking it up.. I'd have to go infinite scorpion odst exterminator set marine and drone set arbiter quest anniversary set (mainly just for ship master) Traxus flood set Banished phantom infinite mongoose with the elite and grunt elephant sandnest or whatever, the one with Lord Hood andddddddd I'm gonna cheat a bit, the Alpha 9 set. I recently got them, literally some of the best figures Mega has done. Having their names and blood types and all the other little details on such small figures??? Literally the best!
The Outriders just has awesome figures. I actually seriously considered putting A9 on the list, but since it's a line of sets, I felt it didn't quite fit
@@DemarcationMedia they're are good, the elite would be nice to have. And I understand your reasoning for A9 lol I wish they got a better release too though, I saw the Domain's vid on them, sucks the "release" already happened... I paid $110 on eBay for them... Not cool.
I just wanna thank you for your reviews because my Mega Halo collection used to be extremely small. Now it’s like decently sized because of your reviews and I like own half of the sets on this list because of your reviews. I regret none of the sets that I have purchased after watching your content because of how informative you are. I would support your channel if I had money but unfortunately I’m broke. 😅
The big exclusions for this list I think are crazy are the Banished Phantom, Scorpion clash, and the FUD model set, ghost of requim, red team charge, and the elephant. None of those sets are perfect or my favorite but I think they are insanely good. I think a lot of these should beat some sets on the list. Also does the 20th character pack qualify for this list?
The Banished Phantom is a pretty poor set, all things considered. Great figures, but the build explodes if you even breathe on it. The 20th pack is good but I left it off because so many of the figures have been remade in sets. The FUD didn't make it because it received a lot of hate on release and despite it being an amazing build, the figure included is terrible. The Scorpion is really pricey and the turret is poorly designed, with that shooting feature and needs to be fixed by the buyer, which is not what you want to see from a set
I personally wouldn’t include the Hornet Recon on the list. The size is not accurate at all. Way too small. Also really not a lot of figs for the price. Great figs though. I pray for a proper scale Hornet one day
It's actually not that far off. None of Mega's builds are accurate scale--warthogs are a bit too tall, the Pelican is a bit too small, mongoose is a bit too big, etc. It's just how building set scale works. Lego has the same thing
With the way the Mega market is right now, it has to be considered. It can't be the best set of the year if nobody has it to vouch for it being the best
Since I was like 12 back in 2010 I've been with Mega (and I'm still a mega fan to this day) and had some of the original old art figures. As much as I love Mega's sets I'll always realize how much of a bumpy ride it is with them. From quality issues, to distribution issues to scalpers, it has been a difficult hobby to stay in. I remember when I moved from Georgia to Florida back in 2018 until around 2021 I was out of the mega loop because of that and I deeply regret that since I've been playing catch up ever since. I missed another humvee for COD and the heavy cargo truck which I really want (I neded up buying a knock off unfortuantely because I really wanted one). None of my retail stores really have blind bags or heroes (been like this for the last five years living here) so I always miss out on those and can't believe I've missed so many sets. Right now the old UNSC vulture is my white whale set that I want to get (mostly for the stock of old green since I use it so much in my MOCs). I need to get some humvees (preferably a desert and a forest one) again for mocs. Its an expensive hobby but it is still a hobby I'll probably be with until Mega stops making sets
(time stamps below) Im so sorry i took so long to watch this demarc ive barely watched any UA-cam lately because im almost always voice chatting with my friends on fortnite or grounded, anyway awesome video. Goose approved (Though i might not fully agree with the rankings) Time Stamps (from 10-1): 0:54 - Mongoose Outriders (probably wouldn't've put this on the list personally) 3:48 - Recon Getaway 6:40 - Banished Garrison Pack 9:15 - Warthog Rally 11:56 - Hornet Recon 15:31 - Arbiter's quest 18:18 - Pelican Inbound 22:34 - Falcon Sweep (how this didn't get first place is insane to me but differing opinion differ) 26:37 - Odst Hive Exterminators (this is exactly where I'd put this set, actually lemme do my own ranking) 30:11 - Floodgate Firefight Goose certified ranking (from 1-10) Falcon Sweep Odst hive exterminators Floodgate Firefight Pelican inbound Warthog rally Hornet recon Scorpion (i forgot the set name) Arbiter's quest Banished Garrison Pack Recon Getaway
The scorpion is sick too, the elite general is my favorite figure ever made he looks incredible. With Mega making less sets and more expensive, we should get more fillers, I’m talking about an extra grunt or two, small terrains and fortifications, etc anything that adds to the value for both display and play.
I took the figures from the Pelican inbound , put them in a bin. Put the Halo 3 Pilot in the cockpit , and updated the interior with more seats for Halo Infinite Marines! oorah!
Great vid. Some strange choices but still a great vid. Here's my top 10. 1. Falcon Sweep 2. Hornet Recon 3. Banished Phantom 4. Elephant Sandnest 5. Scorpion Clash 6. Floodgate Firefight 7. Hive Exterminator 8. Razorback Blitz 9. Red Team Charge 10. Arbiter's Quest
Interesting to see the Razorback on there--a lot of people kind of dislike it after how many just shelf-warmed for a long time. The Red Team Charge almost made the list. The Elephant didn't purely because its sheer size and $200 price makes it not accessible to everyone and also, the figure lineup needed some work
@@DemarcationMedia Part of why I like the Razorback so much is because of how great (and OP) it is in the Infinite campaign and I'm really happy to have a mini version of it. Idk why anyone would dislike the set though. It did get a second product run too. The original Amazon preorder for the Elephant was under $150. So that's definitely worth making the list for me. Especially with Johnson and Hood included.
My only problem with the pelican is that you have to use the white support piece under it to hold it up. The actual landing gear in the back unfortunately can't support the weight of the pelican. But it's a small thing, other than that i love the pelican.
Mega has Been top notch these past 3 years same with halo at times I started with my first 2 clash on the ring blind bags today my most recent set is traxus tower
It's crazy how far Mega has come. I started collecting right before halo 4s release and ended up selling everything I had at the start of 2019 due to distribution in Australia being bad and life happening. Coming back to it as an adult and seeing how far the brand has come is incredible and definitely makes me nostalgic
I don't understand, why do people sell their collections when they can't get new stuff? If you sell, now you don't have the old stuff AND you can't get the new stuff
@@DemarcationMedia I was moving and badly needed money unfortunately. Still regret doing it since I had a huge collection including the OG elephant and Pelican
@@HaydenHag Ahh, see that I understand. I keep hearing of people who sell purely because they get mad, but selling because you need the money to move makes a lot of sense
It just has a few things holding it back. It's a great set, but the price paired with the pretty crummy turret shooting feature keeps it from making the list
This is a really great list. Based on what I could get here’s my list: 10. Recon Getaway 9. Warthog Rally 8. Red Team Warthog Rescue 7. Banished Phantom 6. Ghost of Requiem 5. Arbiters Quest 4. UNSC Hornet Recon 3. ODST Hive Exterminators 2. Falcon Sweep 1. Floodgate Firefight
@@DemarcationMedia idk. I don’t see the draw. The brute is nice, but besides him it’s meh. You don’t see any gold ultras in game, so that makes no sense, and the two Spartans are kinda boring. Add in a mongoose with a weird coating and it’s just a bad set to me
That is a fair point--if you want accuracy to the campaign, that isn't the set to get. But getting the Yoroi in silver and the Anubis with that great color scheme made it a must buy for me
@@DemarcationMedia it's a great idea, I was just so shocked about the tires splitting, none of mine have done that yet. All rubber will do that over time, just wasn't expecting so soon, maybe like 10 years down the road.
@@DemarcationMedia no money for the floodgate set and no opportunities for a falcon, that's what happens when you're from spain and you can't find it easily
In my opinion the Elephant deserves a place in the top 10. I am a little bit biased because I love Halo 3. But overall a really solid list and great video.
XD It explodes if you breathe on it wrong. The alt build is even worse in terms of sturdiness. In addition, it really needed some more exterior detailing. Those things paired together kept it from getting on the list
@@DemarcationMedia I need to finish my comic of Orange Halo vs Greyskull, that is taking up my desk, I have a bunch of free time this month to finish it, post videos on UA-cam and discord. That resolve devinci software is great, and I bought stop motion pro for android. I found a image to video AI that will animate my mega pictures to add something different to watch, for views and longer watch time on UA-cam. I will build the traxus set after, maybe do a review on UA-cam. Your top ten sets is a cool idea, you should try your top 10 customs you have made, add minutes with part sets you used and painting tricks. I been watching how others increase watch time for more ad revenue. Seems UA-cam be my only hope for extra money for that 219 year lithium battery tech international patent money.
@@Atlas076 You should return that and get another. First, $250 is way too much since it's been around for $180 for awhile. Amazon is also notorious for having those third party sellers who don't care/scam by removing or losing parts of the set
@@DemarcationMedia Do you think that we will see a resurgence in Halo releases? I mentioned on another video that I feel a new Halo game (or even an animated show) might be the only way this starts to happen.
@@DemarcationMedia what? $90 for a set with 993 pieces is far too expensive? But Floodgate being $75 for 635 pieces isn’t? That’s only $25 more for 358 more pieces. For reference, that’s more pieces than an entire warthog rally
@@Evelyn-qt3hi Retail for the Tank is $97. Also, the tank gun was poorly designed and required rebuilding if you didn't want a massive ugly drum on the side. The floodgate has less pieces, but more large and specialized parts, as well as new molds.
@@DemarcationMediaHoney, the scorpion is the most gorgeous rendition we’ve had yet of the vehicle, had two amazing detailed figs, and extra marine, and two hunters. It’s also been available for $90 for most of its lifetime. It ALSO ALSO was made specifically after the 20-in-1 scorpion couldn’t meet demand and many people missed out on it. It’s an amazing set.
I'd like to point out that it hasn't been available at all for most of its lifetime. Only in the past few months has stock reappeared after a LONG stretch of silence.

You've been around for a bit then!
Can you imagine if one day mega decide to make flood hunters falcon again!!
That would be AMAZING
My Mega Halo collection started with the *Recon Getaway x2* and the *Warthog Rally* .
Later I added to that the *Ghost of Requiem*, the yellow heroes *Elite Warlord*, the *Marine Gear Pack* and the *Hornet Recon* .
Yesterday I ordered the *Traxus Flood Firefight* as a final piece!
All included this yielded me a nice squad of marines with an ODST specialist, a sweet Covenant lance and a handful of Flood.
My first one was the faithful vs fallen pack
That's a nice lineup!!

Those are both great sets, the 20th pack would almost have made it if a lot of the figures hadn't been released in other sets, like Arbiter's Quest, Falcon Sweep, etc
For the Hornet Recon it should have the little white armband ODST since they were more common
I feel like we need both
Alot of good stuff. On this list. Gotta agree with the number 1 pick. Got a few more of em. Great set

The 20th pack is good but I left it off because so many of the figures have been remade in sets. The FUD didn't make it because it received a lot of hate on release and despite it being an amazing build, the figure included is terrible. The Scorpion is really pricey and the turret is poorly designed, with that shooting feature and needs to be fixed by the buyer, which is not what you want to see from a set
I personally wouldn’t include the Hornet Recon on the list. The size is not accurate at all. Way too small. Also really not a lot of figs for the price. Great figs though. I pray for a proper scale Hornet one day
It's actually not that far off. None of Mega's builds are accurate scale--warthogs are a bit too tall, the Pelican is a bit too small, mongoose is a bit too big, etc. It's just how building set scale works. Lego has the same thing
scorpion clash remove the green and orange mongoose
Scorpion Clash was way too pricey as a base to be on this list
@@DemarcationMedia oh hey you said express my opinion on your list plus I didn't know you were including price
@@ImaginArt24 Yeah I factored in price to the list a little bit.
We are at the peak of halo mega
Set-wise, yes. Distribution-wise, no
Also I personally disagree with your criteria for like “set wasn’t accessible so it loses points” because that dosent really make sense
With the way the Mega market is right now, it has to be considered. It can't be the best set of the year if nobody has it to vouch for it being the best
Since I was like 12 back in 2010 I've been with Mega (and I'm still a mega fan to this day) and had some of the original old art figures. As much as I love Mega's sets I'll always realize how much of a bumpy ride it is with them. From quality issues, to distribution issues to scalpers, it has been a difficult hobby to stay in. I remember when I moved from Georgia to Florida back in 2018 until around 2021 I was out of the mega loop because of that and I deeply regret that since I've been playing catch up ever since. I missed another humvee for COD and the heavy cargo truck which I really want (I neded up buying a knock off unfortuantely because I really wanted one). None of my retail stores really have blind bags or heroes (been like this for the last five years living here) so I always miss out on those and can't believe I've missed so many sets. Right now the old UNSC vulture is my white whale set that I want to get (mostly for the stock of old green since I use it so much in my MOCs). I need to get some humvees (preferably a desert and a forest one) again for mocs. Its an expensive hobby but it is still a hobby I'll probably be with until Mega stops making sets
The QC stuff is mostly fixable, but the distribution is hard
(time stamps below) Im so sorry i took so long to watch this demarc ive barely watched any UA-cam lately because im almost always voice chatting with my friends on fortnite or grounded, anyway awesome video. Goose approved
(Though i might not fully agree with the rankings)
Time Stamps (from 10-1):
0:54 - Mongoose Outriders (probably wouldn't've put this on the list personally)
3:48 - Recon Getaway
6:40 - Banished Garrison Pack
9:15 - Warthog Rally
11:56 - Hornet Recon
15:31 - Arbiter's quest
18:18 - Pelican Inbound
22:34 - Falcon Sweep (how this didn't get first place is insane to me but differing opinion differ)
26:37 - Odst Hive Exterminators (this is exactly where I'd put this set, actually lemme do my own ranking)
30:11 - Floodgate Firefight
Goose certified ranking (from 1-10)
Falcon Sweep
Odst hive exterminators
Floodgate Firefight
Pelican inbound
Warthog rally
Hornet recon
Scorpion (i forgot the set name)
Arbiter's quest
Banished Garrison Pack
Recon Getaway
Fair enough! The Mongoose set's figs are the real reason I added it
@@DemarcationMedia understandable
My local homebargains has the mongoose set for £2.99 each and has like 10, I'm honestly considering picking all 10 up for either bulking or resell
Pick up all of them and help your fellow collectors out
The scorpion is sick too, the elite general is my favorite figure ever made he looks incredible. With Mega making less sets and more expensive, we should get more fillers, I’m talking about an extra grunt or two, small terrains and fortifications, etc anything that adds to the value for both display and play.
Yeah that would be nice
Still tryin to get Halo 3 chief ;_; can anyone help? (Cant from ebay or such and have no mega store)
Merry Christmas Demarcation and all
Why not just get the Floodgate?
I took the figures from the Pelican inbound , put them in a bin. Put the Halo 3 Pilot in the cockpit , and updated the interior with more seats for Halo Infinite Marines! oorah!
Not a bad idea!
I agree 100% flood firefight is an amazing yes yes very very good set
A masterpiece!
@@DemarcationMedia indeed also what new flood figure are you looking forward to? Mine is definitely the flood juggernaut hope they make it
@@kendocustoms2666 I'd like to see one of those ones with the whip-like arms
@@DemarcationMedia the carriers? Which also release multiple infection forms when killed
@@kendocustoms2666 No, those guys in Awakening The Nightmare that Pavium and Voridus have to fight
this video is so amazing because you actualy did a good revew and it was just amazing
Thank you!
Great vid. Some strange choices but still a great vid. Here's my top 10.
1. Falcon Sweep
2. Hornet Recon
3. Banished Phantom
4. Elephant Sandnest
5. Scorpion Clash
6. Floodgate Firefight
7. Hive Exterminator
8. Razorback Blitz
9. Red Team Charge
10. Arbiter's Quest
Interesting to see the Razorback on there--a lot of people kind of dislike it after how many just shelf-warmed for a long time.
The Red Team Charge almost made the list. The Elephant didn't purely because its sheer size and $200 price makes it not accessible to everyone and also, the figure lineup needed some work
@@DemarcationMedia Part of why I like the Razorback so much is because of how great (and OP) it is in the Infinite campaign and I'm really happy to have a mini version of it. Idk why anyone would dislike the set though. It did get a second product run too.
The original Amazon preorder for the Elephant was under $150. So that's definitely worth making the list for me. Especially with Johnson and Hood included.
@@illWillienumber31 Oh yeah, with the Amazon discounted price for the Elephant, it's well worth it. I judged the list based on retail prices though.
My only problem with the pelican is that you have to use the white support piece under it to hold it up. The actual landing gear in the back unfortunately can't support the weight of the pelican. But it's a small thing, other than that i love the pelican.
I agree, it would have been nice to have the struts hold and not need the clear supports
i just ordered the odst set, i love collecting as many odst figures as possible. i just wish there was a better way to collect more banished figures
same
Why did they rebrand to mega construct was it not originally mega blocks
Because Construx was a different toy that also got bought by Mattel and they combined the brands.
Bro you needa delete this channel
I’m spending too much money😭😭
XD
My guesses to yours before watching are
1. Floodgate fire fight
2. Arbiters quest
3. ODST Hive Extermination
4. Mongoose out riders
5. ODST hornet recon
6. Banished garrison
7. Covenant combat unit
8. Banished phantom
9. Falcon Sweep
10. UNSC scorpion clash
Damn I got 7/10 right
You were close!!
The thing I love most with floodgate is if you have multiple sets you can clip em together to make a big factory like moc
Yeah that was a very nice touch from Mega
Mega has Been top notch these past 3 years same with halo at times I started with my first 2 clash on the ring blind bags today my most recent set is traxus tower
They really have improved so much. The Floodgate/Traxus set is amazing
Any tips on what stores are the best to find mega sets in 2024? I used to see them everywhere but now I cant find any.
Mega just isn't really in stores anymore. It's mainly online now
Christ bless you, the Falcon Sweep wins this for me but they are all so good
The Falcon is such a perfect Reach set
"I have credit card dept," i said in 2020 with the Mongoose set😐
How much did you pay for that set??
its so nice i just got the floodgates firefight like 3 weeks ago its awsome the new flood and the flood tank is sick
That's awesome!!
Thank you scalpers for officially killing a hobby of mine
It's rough, though there are sets you can get without paying scalpers
Dawm just complete ignoring the elephant that's a insult
The high price and low figure count kept it from being on the list
I got out bidded by $1000 for the falcon sweep
By...one thousand??
Can someone tell me how I can buy the sweep falcón for resale?
Currently you cannot
3rd ❤
I swear I’m the only person that buys mega in my state
Do you find a lot in stores?
Great video 🎉
Mini figs used to be so much better back in the days
Er...not really. The old ones don't pose well and they break easy
hi :) once again
Is the Anubis in #10 supposed to be Chappie?
XD I don't think so
It's crazy how far Mega has come. I started collecting right before halo 4s release and ended up selling everything I had at the start of 2019 due to distribution in Australia being bad and life happening. Coming back to it as an adult and seeing how far the brand has come is incredible and definitely makes me nostalgic
I don't understand, why do people sell their collections when they can't get new stuff? If you sell, now you don't have the old stuff AND you can't get the new stuff
@@DemarcationMedia I was moving and badly needed money unfortunately. Still regret doing it since I had a huge collection including the OG elephant and Pelican
@@HaydenHag Ahh, see that I understand. I keep hearing of people who sell purely because they get mad, but selling because you need the money to move makes a lot of sense
dude i like 4, i don't have it, but i really want it
It isn't hard to get
Didn't know it was $64.00, i mist out on it will check after watching video to see if it's still on sell.
It isn't on that much of a sale but it is on Amazon for $145
it lasted for like one hour so plenty of people missed out haha
The scorpion clash didn’t make it!?!?!?. That’s my second favorite set. Kinda bias cause it’s my first rank but still it’s a great set
It just has a few things holding it back. It's a great set, but the price paired with the pretty crummy turret shooting feature keeps it from making the list
@@DemarcationMedia fair. I didn’t like that feature either so I changed it up wit the pieces that were left over in the set
Same here! If they had simply not added the feature, it would have made the set so much better
This is a really great list. Based on what I could get here’s my list:
10. Recon Getaway
9. Warthog Rally
8. Red Team Warthog Rescue
7. Banished Phantom
6. Ghost of Requiem
5. Arbiters Quest
4. UNSC Hornet Recon
3. ODST Hive Exterminators
2. Falcon Sweep
1. Floodgate Firefight
That's a very solid list! The Phantom frustrates me too much for me to include it on mine but the figure selection is fantastic
Watching this after I took a bunch of Mega off of my display shelves because I’ve been considering selling most of my collection.
No, keep it!!! If you sell it, you may never be able to get it back
Mongoose outriders was a Poor choice IMO. The elephant and red team warthog deserved a spot
Outriders has THE best selection of Halo Infinite figures, which is why it made the 10 spot.
@@DemarcationMedia idk. I don’t see the draw. The brute is nice, but besides him it’s meh. You don’t see any gold ultras in game, so that makes no sense, and the two Spartans are kinda boring. Add in a mongoose with a weird coating and it’s just a bad set to me
That is a fair point--if you want accuracy to the campaign, that isn't the set to get. But getting the Yoroi in silver and the Anubis with that great color scheme made it a must buy for me
Falcon set is TOP 1 and will always be in the future, Halo Reach is the legend
If only it was more available
well I think his rarity makes it gain more value for collectors@@DemarcationMedia
@@lxc1292 Yeah but it shouldn't be that way for a new set
What!?! #9 the tires are splitting, o man I will need to check mine, first time I heard of that
Yeah, but all you need to do is get a little superglue into the split and you'll be good to go. Mine looks almost new now
@@DemarcationMedia it's a great idea, I was just so shocked about the tires splitting, none of mine have done that yet. All rubber will do that over time, just wasn't expecting so soon, maybe like 10 years down the road.
I think it depends on the batch, and also the environment the tires are in
I love the new suspension for the hogs, they really messed up on the razer back using the new suspension, its just to heavy.
Oh? I didn't have any issues with it
@DemarcationMedia I have 4 razorbacks, and the suspension just drops when you put them down.
@@ethanrestoule5623 Did you forget the rubber bands??
@@DemarcationMedia Nope, i ended up putting one on each side to fix it.
i have 4 of these sets, i hope to have the opportunity to have the falcon and floodgate XD
The Floodgate is still pretty easy to get
@@DemarcationMedia no money for the floodgate set and no opportunities for a falcon, that's what happens when you're from spain and you can't find it easily
The money thing is definitely tough. The Falcon is just gone though and I don't think it's coming back
I want that mongoose
Which one? XD There was two
In my opinion the Elephant deserves a place in the top 10. I am a little bit biased because I love Halo 3. But overall a really solid list and great video.
If the figure lineup had been a little bigger to fit the $200 price tag, I might have added it to the list
I used to have 7th
You used to?
The banished phantom is a nice build and comes with great figures, I’m surprised it isn’t on this list
XD It explodes if you breathe on it wrong. The alt build is even worse in terms of sturdiness. In addition, it really needed some more exterior detailing. Those things paired together kept it from getting on the list
*cries in german*
Outside the US is tough to get sets
Haven't watched the full video yet but it is awesome so far
Appreciate the support!
Poor jackals
XD
where elephant
The figure lineup wasn't standout enough to make the list
I got 2 and 6
Nice!
The floodgate truly is the best. But it was sad that we watched mega disappear from stores slowly over three years
Yeah, it would have been so amazing to see the Floodgate in stores
@@DemarcationMedia yeah cause it’s especially hard for me to get stuff online
Mattel Creations was a solid source, though they're sold out of most stuff
@@DemarcationMedia I’ll try check it out
For all my warthog that have the stiff turret I just shave off the little nub on the side of the turntable and it works great
Ohhhh I'm going to have to check and see if I can do the same thing
Good i got #1 but have not had time to open it yet
Brrooo build that thing
@@DemarcationMedia I need to finish my comic of Orange Halo vs Greyskull, that is taking up my desk, I have a bunch of free time this month to finish it, post videos on UA-cam and discord. That resolve devinci software is great, and I bought stop motion pro for android. I found a image to video AI that will animate my mega pictures to add something different to watch, for views and longer watch time on UA-cam. I will build the traxus set after, maybe do a review on UA-cam. Your top ten sets is a cool idea, you should try your top 10 customs you have made, add minutes with part sets you used and painting tricks. I been watching how others increase watch time for more ad revenue. Seems UA-cam be my only hope for extra money for that 219 year lithium battery tech international patent money.
I bought a pelican inbound, and it was missing so many pieces. I spent $250 on it.
Where in the world did you buy it from?
@@DemarcationMedia amazon
@@Atlas076 You should return that and get another. First, $250 is way too much since it's been around for $180 for awhile. Amazon is also notorious for having those third party sellers who don't care/scam by removing or losing parts of the set
@DemarcationMedia I forgot to mention that it was around 2020 when I got it
That's a while ago
I really hope we can get a proper rerelease of the Falcon Sweep…
I hope so too. Some countries can still buy it but yeah, it was not a good re-release
@@DemarcationMedia Do you think that we will see a resurgence in Halo releases? I mentioned on another video that I feel a new Halo game (or even an animated show) might be the only way this starts to happen.
It could help a lot. 343 is working on the next one, so we'll see
It's a crime that you used the scorpion while showing the Floodgate Firefight and didn't include the Scorpion Clash anywhere on the list lmao
The Scorpion was FAR too overpriced to make it onto this list.
@@DemarcationMedia what? $90 for a set with 993 pieces is far too expensive? But Floodgate being $75 for 635 pieces isn’t?
That’s only $25 more for 358 more pieces. For reference, that’s more pieces than an entire warthog rally
@@Evelyn-qt3hi Retail for the Tank is $97. Also, the tank gun was poorly designed and required rebuilding if you didn't want a massive ugly drum on the side. The floodgate has less pieces, but more large and specialized parts, as well as new molds.
@@DemarcationMediaHoney, the scorpion is the most gorgeous rendition we’ve had yet of the vehicle, had two amazing detailed figs, and extra marine, and two hunters. It’s also been available for $90 for most of its lifetime. It ALSO ALSO was made specifically after the 20-in-1 scorpion couldn’t meet demand and many people missed out on it. It’s an amazing set.
I'd like to point out that it hasn't been available at all for most of its lifetime. Only in the past few months has stock reappeared after a LONG stretch of silence.
