Man that falcon is just pristine! I really hope Mega gets their stuff together and makes it easier to get these things! Also is it just me, or does the master chief on the box have some serious “yes chad” meme energy?
When this set shows up, I'm gonna be getting emotional. This was the first really big, cool thing I ever go as a kid, and I loved it to bits. Back then, with the quality of mega sets, it fell to pieces and parts snapped. I always missed having that thing and could never afford to get the original again, and this new set looks absolutely flawless. The falcon has always been my favorite vehicle in Halo
I'm in a similar boat. Wasn't a kid at the time but I had the original, I put too much stock in the landing pad it came with, tried carrying it from one shelf to another on the pad, it slipped off and fell and the rotor blades snapped, as well as the thing itself falling apart obviously. So happy to have this new one on my shelf.
This is the first time seeing mega shut demarcation up lol. Nothing but praise and no complaints. By the way I love your honest and raw commentary. Such a great year for MEGA and for us Halo fans. Couldn't be more hyped.
@@DemarcationMedia Yessir that's what we love about this channel! But if I do have one tip, It's to shorten your videos a bit. Some people might not watch or skip because of the lengthy videos. That's completely up to you though because I know you keep it completely raw.
This set looks perfect, can't wait to get it. If I were the designers, I would've added Kat's Tacpad too, but other than that, 0 complaints. I feel like Mega designed this specifically for the fans
I remember getting into Mega Construx back in 2018 after playing Fireteam Raven, and I’ve always wanted a Falcon set since then. I got my copy about a week ago and it’s pure awesomeness. Great Review! Can’t wait to see more:)
@@DemarcationMedia Working on it. I couldn’t get my hands on Graves or Lang, but I did manage to get Ramos (My Favorite). I’m hoping to get Hudson so I at least have half of the team assembled.
3:07 that’s literally an image on the back of Halo Reach’s case. It’s so cool and I’m glad you think it’s cool. That image was burned into memory at an early age for me.
my three targets have had the Needler, Razorback, and brute chopper for literally months. that's it. that's all they've had. gungoose, falcon, and banshee have been out for months
This is the first buildable mega set I’ve bought in years and I love it. Last time I bought a builable mega set was when it was called mega bloks 😂. I love “big” builds that take a long time to build and building this set was so much fun. It was also the first time I had to assemble the figures. I should buy more! The reason I call it “buildable mega set” is because I HAVE bought mega construx but it was the SDCC MCC set which was kinda a display item that already came “built” (mini figures).
you'd have a hay day with the pelican if you can manage to get one for a decent price, that thing took me easily a couple hours each day for a few days to build mine (plus a couple weeks waiting on replacement parts from mega because i was missing an entire bag of parts)
@@ZoraEpsilon571 I was missing a few parts too! But yeah really happy with the pelican. I could never afford the others when they were out so Im glad this came around now that im earning my own decent money.
Had no idea this was being released, but was recommended your video by UA-cam - despite not watching any Halo videos recently. I've just ordered it from the UK via the US, as we don't get a lot of Mega Construx sets. £110/$131 (including shipping), but absolutely worth it. I'm so excited to get it. Winter Contingency is one of my favourite Halo levels.
I totally agree that if this was LEGO set it would undoubtedly be a £140 set EZ this for £75-100 is amazing especially it being a full nobel team with more than satisfactory detail the green camo for Jun is accurate, minor warning signs and white stripes and bands on the legs. The build doesn't look complex but very good nonetheless as you're building in multiple directions and the quality of dual moulding and dual painted pieces is a treat. The inclusion of side builds is cool too as they don't take away from the Falcon but add to the scene, it's pretty sizeable to and with all those printed pieces and extras are welcome editions definitely a set to pick as a Reach fan i'm very happy.
Wow, it’s even better in this video than the photos I’ve seen! I’ll probably buy like 3 of these for customs and for having 3 falcons. Thanks for the awesome review!
Great to see you got it so fast, if i had the extra money i would totally get it, i won't just because i have my full noble team, and im saving to get the phantom.
Dude call me biased but Jorge was the best Noble team member because he seemed like the kind of guy I would be best friends with! I even made his armor out of foam! He was the saddest Noble team death next to Kat because he died saving reach only for his death to be in vein by the covenant! I always thought I could get his chain gun only for me to basically bully him for about an hour trying to kill him but anyways love the vid and I’ll see you around Spartan!
Wow, just wow. This is an absolutely amazing set. It brings me back to My childhood playing Halo reach with my old friends, i remember spending hours customising my Spartans to look so awesome. I’ll definitely get this
@@DemarcationMedia I have it preordered there, it says coming June 2022 but it’s not looking like that’s gonna happen. Do you know if they’re a trustworthy site?
Where was this a decade ago! Crazy how far they’ve come. I was 11-12 I was really into halo mega bloks. It was only a matter of time before I lost interest. Brings back some good/bad moments growing up a horny teen.
Bruh I've been looking for like 20 min on Amazon and I can't find it, reach is hands down my favorite halo game I need this (Btw awesome vid I love your content)
24:52 the concept for the Falcon isn’t new. The UNSC Falcon is the streamlined and compartmentalized redesign of the Boeing V-22 Osprey Tilt-Rotor Aircraft.
I used to be really into these Halo sets when they were Mega Blocks and I’m just getting back into them. This set is a dream come true for me since Reach is my favorite game. Is this set going to be available in stores or is it some sort of exclusive?
I actually happen to like this set a whole lot more than the other iterations of the other figures in Halo Heroes individual sets and the Halo 20th Anniversary one, just to be honest. It looks like Mega Construx went all out, firing on all cylinders on the figures’ attention to detail and the prints, but there are some small nitpicks for me, not to make the figures look bad but something that Mega could change and to add on the figures next time around. Overall, I find the entire set to be highly sought after by everyone, and it is a good job for Mega that they’re listening to us fans and collectors. - Jun’s sniper veil on his TACTICAL/PATROL chest piece being a little bright seems a bit too high in contrast, considering that he is the sniper, I would’ve liked it better if they made it more olive green, or something close in colors to the actual US military used to use, specifically olive drab green or OD green for short, and he needs more print on the vent parts of his helmet too, same goes to the missing spot of his chest piece, but I personally love what they did for Jun, I’m mostly positive about it. - Majority of the figures (minus Jorge since he has braces on his forearms, and Emile) like Kat, Carter, Jun, and Noble Six lack the Tacpad/UGPS print on their left forearm, which would’ve been a nice detail to see that they actually have functional gadgets that would help them navigate their way into their path during an ongoing military operation. As for Emile, he needs a new Reach style forearm mold, where it would be storing his extra shotgun shells, some dark grey with gray tips would be nice for the colors of the shotgun shells. - For weapons, I don’t mind about Noble Six having the old MA37 mold, but I also agree with you that he should have the newer Halo: Infinite mold, since the MA40 is mostly based on the MA37 rifle too, but I would’ve loved that they should add more weapons just so we could do some mix and change with the figures, having that iconic Reach grenade launcher, the Plasma Launcher, Needler Rifle, or even the Focus Rifle, and the Repeater, and not to forget, some default UNSC grenades and plasma grenades. - What’s mostly missing on them is preferably some more prints on their feet, like the toe caps are dark grey, along with some yellow/black caution lines around the ankles, which would make them stand out more, and even a bit of metallic wash to show the wear on their armor, and some dirty brown wash to not only hide a bit of the metal wear, but to also see some dirt, mud and grime accumulating around parts of their armor, like lower legs and feet, their knees, and hands. Not to forget, the iconic bluish light prints on parts of their armor, just to show that their armor is active.
There's definitely always space for them to go for more detail but for set figures, I think that we got the absolute best possible. Some extra weapons would have been fantastic though
Adding in, 1 UNSC pilot or more preferably a new Reach marine pilot from what we saw in game would've been icing on the cake, but since all 6 figures can fit in the falcon I wouldn't be too worried, but I would like more opportunities for more marines, pilots, just regular humans in general, these days I think we're getting too many spartans but I guess that's stretching it
Speaking of Emile, since I got no nitpicks about him, other than to think about his origins and knowing that he earned the so-called “Death’s hat” just by carving a screaming skull on his damaged visor after he was trying to chase down the fleeing Insurrectionist as he almost got killed by her (the latter who was fleeing) fellow fighters with the turret from their own Warthog while the escapee did get away, I do wonder about him having a kukri as his own personal combat knife (this is basically the backstory of how Emile earned the iconic Death’s hat, in case you did not know :) ). Knowing that his family died from the Covenant, and so is brother who protected him, I couldn’t put my finger on him being a Nepalese descent, considering that the Kukri knife itself originated from Nepal, famously used by the Gurkhas. But I guess he has found a great use for it in terms of intimidating people, not only with the skull on his visor but having a large knife that’s a cross between a machete and a hatchet, he could possibly cut an Elite’s head clean off, thanks to his training and of course, the augmentation, even though he’s not as strong as the SPARTAN-IIs but it is still possible.
The falcon looks great I hope it comes to the UK because I'm sure many UK fans myself included don't want to go through the trouble of gett it imported or paying scaler prices.
@@Burnt_Pancakes thanks for the reply I’ve been on a mission to find any info on if anyone’s got a notification from EE about the pre order and so far nothing but hopefully it’ll ship soon it says June but no specific date
i’m not really finding any answers anywhere, why hasn’t this set been released yet in north america? i also wanna know when it will. does it have to do with the fact that mega construx just isn’t stocking shelves much anymore from what i’m seeing? i might see the pokemon line here n there but absolutely not a single set of call of duty or halo in months
Mega under-produced these sets for some reason. We don't know a lot more than that at the moment. And the COD line is over, which is why you don't see much of that anymore. Dollar General has some but that's about it
No, not really, purely because it's stupid expensive now that it has been discontinued and the reason it's pricey is because of the lore of the characters
@@DemarcationMedia do you have the halo infinity I have not yet seen a video from you about it If you don't I may be able to sell it to you. Box, instructions and almost all of the Pieces. Some peices were missing but I got 5 of the hotdogs an 2 heads for master chief and many other pieces. 50 dollars at least
@@DemarcationMedia it came with 71 extra pieces that were unnecessary and the second MC head was just absolutely horrid. Like it will not fit any character I have and the it has gold paint all over the left side The missing pieces are antenna from parts of the ship and the gun carrier from the middle of the ship
I'm pondering if I should order mine online and risk getting scammed or wait for it to hit shelves and risk it selling out. I feel distribution to stores may take awhile too. Any ideas?
There's a couple things you can do to avoid being scammed. First, buy from a trusted site. Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store, etc. Second, pay with Paypal. They have excellent purchase protection
@@gabrielmatos8670 I bought an entire case of CE blind bags from them awhile back and they were pretty good to work with. Slightly slow but other than that it was a great purchase
I did not plan on getting this set because I already had both versions of noble team that had come out before this and several falcons.But the way you showed and described the figures and this said maybe change my mind. I'm still very disappointed that they didn't include headsculpes for Kat, Jun, Carter, and Jorge (AT LEAST DO JORGE) But other than that you have convinced me that I do need to get this set. FYI, the Falcon came out in 2011. Call of Duty came out in 2013. Those guns on the side of the Falcon are originally theirs not Call of Duty's. The piece for the gun on the nose of the Falcon is exactly like it was on every Falcon.
I would have liked to see Jorge and maybe Carter get a headsculpt but I feel like the pricing would have gotten messed up with that addition. Also, I had no idea that gun was originally from a Falcon
@@DemarcationMedia I agree with you on the pricing. It probably would get that much higher. But it would have been great to finally get a Jorge head sculpt to go with the others
I can’t wait until my falcon arrives. It’s gorgeous. It’s perfect. *I require it.* Edit: While I was watching this video, I got a notification that my Falcon shipped. The hype is unreal!
1 minute 25 seconds into the video: claims thats Sword Base. dude did you even play Halo Reach? hate to tell you this but that's Visigrad Relay from the very first mission. Any true Halo fan would have recognized that just from the silhouette alone I wonder how many other people have said the exact same thing I'm saying.
Firstly, you could have pointed that out without being abrasive. And second, if you've watched my videos for awhile, you'll know that I have in fact played none of the Halo games, other than brief sections of 5 and Infinite.
@@DemarcationMedia yeah I didn't mean for it to come across as abrasive and honestly I've only watched a small handful of your videos I think the only ones I've even watched are the reviews for the Pelican inbound, Falcon sweep, UNSC Infinity and the new Forward unto Dawn set the last three of those I'm getting for this Christmas and I'm also aware that the UNSC Infinity set is a 10-year-old set which I'm pretty sure is discontinued but yeah honestly I had no idea you didn't even play any of the games and yet here you are reviewing these sets. Just saying you might want to brush up on your lore. I pretty much live breathe and eat Halo so I may end up getting overzealous in some of my comments so I apologize for that.
I live in Australia so getting Mega stuff is already hard enough. You think Mattel will make the Falcon available for us Aussies when it's restocked? I want this set so bad
I'm pretty sure this Noble six is thom, the noble 6 that we play in the game is the replacement, thom died in the deliver hope trailer where he took the nuke into the covenant carrier.
@@DemarcationMedia oh crap you're right, I don't know why Mega gave this Noble Six the different shoulder pauldrons. Maybe it's because they look closer to the Mark 5 and 6 shoulders and wanted to give him that "hyper lethal" look.
@@DemarcationMedia technically the base Mark 5(b) doesn't have shoulder pauldrons, if they wanted to make it "realistic" they could have not issued shoulder pauldrons with the figure and applied paint directly to the bicep area or create an integrated upper bicep/armor piece. Maybe in a future figure hopefully?
For the past like two years it's been hard getting more Mega Halo sets for me and I pre-ordered on Entertainment Earth for the Falcon sweep and still haven't got my refund
Contact EE and request a refund again, because they aren't ever getting stock. The Falcon is coming to Mattel Creations exclusively in Q3 of this year, so sometime in the July to September range
@@DemarcationMedia both actually, got tired of waiting for Amazon to say it shipped and took a gamble on a cheaper one off of deep discount so far i haven't heard anything out of my order from deep discount, although i haven't really checked recently either, but I'll keep it posted here if i get an update on it
@@DemarcationMedia nnnope, i was lucky enough to get a refund but they couldn't replace it due to having none in stock at the same price (scalper moment) but what's weird is they wouldn't let me just either buy the one that got sent back again and send it to the correct address, nor would they just wait to get it and send it back to a correct address
Man that falcon is just pristine! I really hope Mega gets their stuff together and makes it easier to get these things! Also is it just me, or does the master chief on the box have some serious “yes chad” meme energy?
XD You know, now that you say it, I'm never going to look at that image of Chief the same way
I still don’t know why they don’t ship to the UK
Like come on I would buy almost all of the sets but the only way I get to buy it would be scalpers
@@deeznuts23yearsago Pretty sure Big Bad Toy Store does
Ever since toys r us went away it's been incredibly hard to find and get mega sets at retail prices
@@messerschmitt_bf109 Very true
When this set shows up, I'm gonna be getting emotional. This was the first really big, cool thing I ever go as a kid, and I loved it to bits.

I always missed having that thing and could never afford to get the original again, and this new set looks absolutely flawless. The falcon has always been my favorite vehicle in Halo
It's the closest thing to flawless that you can get!

The HDP-62 print on the UNSC crate is actually the set code : "Falcon Sweep HDP62"
It's a really nice inclusion I feel
I somehow totally missed that XD
This set looks perfect, can't wait to get it. If I were the designers, I would've added Kat's Tacpad too, but other than that, 0 complaints. I feel like Mega designed this specifically for the fans
They really did! The marine platoon pack has a tacpad so that makes it pretty easy to get one and just give it to Kat
Wow, that set is glorious. I hope my Falcon arrives soon.
Glorious is a very apt way of putting it
How much is it
Where did you order from?
I think it’s a miracle I got this for retail price seeing all the distribution isssues and scalpers.
That is a miracle
Long have I waited for this review... I really cannot wait for mine to arrive! 😁
This set is gonna go down in legends

- What’s mostly missing on them is preferably some more prints on their feet, like the toe caps are dark grey, along with some yellow/black caution lines around the ankles, which would make them stand out more, and even a bit of metallic wash to show the wear on their armor, and some dirty brown wash to not only hide a bit of the metal wear, but to also see some dirt, mud and grime accumulating around parts of their armor, like lower legs and feet, their knees, and hands.

Adding in, 1 UNSC pilot or more preferably a new Reach marine pilot from what we saw in game would've been icing on the cake, but since all 6 figures can fit in the falcon I wouldn't be too worried, but I would like more opportunities for more marines, pilots, just regular humans in general, these days I think we're getting too many spartans but I guess that's stretching it
@@Quillian Hehe, or even a Spartan-III with Pilot helmet, actually, haunted Pilot helmet would be a good addon for the entire set.
Speaking of Emile, since I got no nitpicks about him, other than to think about his origins and knowing that he earned the so-called “Death’s hat” just by carving a screaming skull on his damaged visor after he was trying to chase down the fleeing Insurrectionist as he almost got killed by her (the latter who was fleeing) fellow fighters with the turret from their own Warthog while the escapee did get away, I do wonder about him having a kukri as his own personal combat knife (this is basically the backstory of how Emile earned the iconic Death’s hat, in case you did not know :) ).
Knowing that his family died from the Covenant, and so is brother who protected him, I couldn’t put my finger on him being a Nepalese descent, considering that the Kukri knife itself originated from Nepal, famously used by the Gurkhas. But I guess he has found a great use for it in terms of intimidating people, not only with the skull on his visor but having a large knife that’s a cross between a machete and a hatchet, he could possibly cut an Elite’s head clean off, thanks to his training and of course, the augmentation, even though he’s not as strong as the SPARTAN-IIs but it is still possible.
nice review
you should compare it to the older falcon with landing pad!
I would, but unfortunately I never got that set
Great review!
Thanks!
I think they could have done a little better with Kat and Jorge. Some of the coloring is off. Otherwise, definitely the best set.
I'm not 100% sure what the thought processes were behind those choices
I think June made a snack and overcooked it and forgot about it, 25:05
Haha exactly! XD
how did you manage to get one of these? you are so lucky i cant seem to find it anywhere
I preordered mine on Amazon back in March
Try entertainment earth
The arbiter’s quest set started showing up in Canada so hopefully, maybe ? This set comes out next month
Mexico is getting it in stores as well
where in canada? cuz like i have been to so many toyrus and they havent even restocked in like 5 months
@@plaguedoctor8568 yeah
The falcon looks great I hope it comes to the UK because I'm sure many UK fans myself included don't want to go through the trouble of gett it imported or paying scaler prices.
I agree--this set needs to be available to everyone
Let's pray the distribution is better than many other sets. 🙏🙏🙏
Yes indeed
I reckon some figures looked different on the box because of the lighting. Glad they're amazing in real life though!
Yeah the CG lighting was not great
Ale your okay! Man I’ve been worried because you’ve been off discord for 6 months and I had no clue
@@arsonist7063 what's up dude? sorry i haven't been on discord in ages.
@@ale-skate you have missed so much on the server. We’ve got 25 or so people now and I’m doing good, hbu? But you should get back on discord
Mine should be coming on July 7th and I'm so excited
Niiccee!
Where did you pre order from I pre ordered from entertainment earth mid May and haven’t heard anything
@@ryanakers9799 I pre ordered it all the way back in March on Amazon when it first went live
@@Burnt_Pancakes thanks for the reply I’ve been on a mission to find any info on if anyone’s got a notification from EE about the pre order and so far nothing but hopefully it’ll ship soon it says June but no specific date
@@ryanakers9799 hopefully you get it soon! Good luck dude!
i’m not really finding any answers anywhere, why hasn’t this set been released yet in north america? i also wanna know when it will. does it have to do with the fact that mega construx just isn’t stocking shelves much anymore from what i’m seeing? i might see the pokemon line here n there but absolutely not a single set of call of duty or halo in months
Mega under-produced these sets for some reason. We don't know a lot more than that at the moment. And the COD line is over, which is why you don't see much of that anymore. Dollar General has some but that's about it
Here's to hoping for a pelican set for Blue team and a captured phantom set for Alpha Nine.
A Pelican is doubtful so soon after the Pelican Inbound set but a Phantom would be fantastic
@@DemarcationMedia true they could also just make a prowler from halo 5 that Blue team used to escape Argent moon.
@@Blanket420 In my opinion that would be a much better option
Epic review! Can’t wait to get mine
Did you get a preorder in somewhere?
@@DemarcationMedia I preorderd mine from Entertainment earth about 2 weeks ago, any idea when it could come?
@@ramo6576 Not 100% sure. I preordered a case of CE blind bags when those first came out and they took around a month
@@DemarcationMedia amazon yep
No cut corners? Why isn’t mega making halo games instead of 343. I’m gonna pick this up asap because since me job I can afford
Haha yeah that would be nice
For someone who knows nothing about Halo but wants to get into it, would this be a good first set?
No, not really, purely because it's stupid expensive now that it has been discontinued and the reason it's pricey is because of the lore of the characters
@DemarcationMedia what would you recommend? I think Spartans in particular interest me so any with a ton of them would be awesome!
@DemarcationMedia I could get that set for a price not too expensive but price aside would it be a good first set purely for what it contains?
Kat's flying the Falcon
*cue the crashing noises*
Ove always loved the falcon, it's basically a baby osprey.
That's a great way to put it
“Carter also has a track record at crashing things”
hm wonder what the last thing he ever did was…
He made it count though. Kat...not so much
I honestly cannot wait on the 22th of this month the wait will be all worth it c:
You got one?
@@DemarcationMedia I bought the pre order right before that got sold out too lol
I have the original Falcon. definitely wish it had the Noble team back then.
Ah dang yeah that would have been cool to get all of old art Noble in one set
I wish I can get this someday, I'm from Malaysia, and no mcx here.. 🥺 Nice review btw.. great video!
Keep checking the internet, that's your best bet
Hdp 62 is the set name from mattel
The halo 4 infinity had two hotdog pieces, I believe they are easter eggs
Apparently the first hotdog piece was in a Minions set
@@DemarcationMedia do you have the halo infinity I have not yet seen a video from you about it
If you don't I may be able to sell it to you. Box, instructions and almost all of the Pieces. Some peices were missing but I got 5 of the hotdogs an 2 heads for master chief and many other pieces. 50 dollars at least
@@DarthTrtot how in the world did you end up with 5 hotdogs and 2 Chief heads??
@@DemarcationMedia it came with 71 extra pieces that were unnecessary and the second MC head was just absolutely horrid. Like it will not fit any character I have and the it has gold paint all over the left side
The missing pieces are antenna from parts of the ship and the gun carrier from the middle of the ship
I'm pondering if I should order mine online and risk getting scammed or wait for it to hit shelves and risk it selling out. I feel distribution to stores may take awhile too. Any ideas?
There's a couple things you can do to avoid being scammed. First, buy from a trusted site. Entertainment Earth, Big Bad Toy Store, etc. Second, pay with Paypal. They have excellent purchase protection
@@DemarcationMedia would you recommend entertainment earth as trustworthy? You mentioned it in the video.
@@gabrielmatos8670 I bought an entire case of CE blind bags from them awhile back and they were pretty good to work with. Slightly slow but other than that it was a great purchase
@@DemarcationMedia Great to know, thanks for the help! :)
I hope Entertainment Earth gets them soon, so they can start shipping out pre orders
BBTS has a preorder as well
Which one out of the two would you say is more reliable for Halo mega construx?
@@kpopfan9550 BBTS is most likely going to be a little faster and they have quicker customer support
I did not plan on getting this set because I already had both versions of noble team that had come out before this and several falcons.But the way you showed and described the figures and this said maybe change my mind. I'm still very disappointed that they didn't include headsculpes for Kat, Jun, Carter, and Jorge (AT LEAST DO JORGE) But other than that you have convinced me that I do need to get this set.
FYI, the Falcon came out in 2011. Call of Duty came out in 2013. Those guns on the side of the Falcon are originally theirs not Call of Duty's. The piece for the gun on the nose of the Falcon is exactly like it was on every Falcon.
I would have liked to see Jorge and maybe Carter get a headsculpt but I feel like the pricing would have gotten messed up with that addition. Also, I had no idea that gun was originally from a Falcon
@@DemarcationMedia I agree with you on the pricing. It probably would get that much higher. But it would have been great to finally get a Jorge head sculpt to go with the others
@@sheerkhanindustries4384 Very true. Though Sergeant Forge's head works decently well.
From Halo Heroes or the Forgehog?
@@sheerkhanindustries4384 I think it's the Forgehog one. That one has a thicker beard if I remember correctly
leg print is a thing tho. the spartan IV like hoya demarco grant and thorne madsen all had white on their blue legs
They did, but not quite like this
It actually makes sense to use the older assault rifle with six because in reach its the ma37, and in infinite its the ma40
True, it's just so bulky
Are they gonna have a restock
As of right now, not in the US
I can’t wait until my falcon arrives. It’s gorgeous. It’s perfect. *I require it.*
Edit: While I was watching this video, I got a notification that my Falcon shipped. The hype is unreal!
Let's go!!
It’s been a year and I still haven’t been able to get my hands on this set or any other set besides the hornet lmaoo Mega needs to get it together
This is coming back in Q3 of this year, aka between July and September at some point
I had the og falcon… I miss it so I need that set.
This one is a bit bigger than the OG too
I really like this set of I’m not wrong it should be coming in today this can be so good for a diorama or display
Nice!
I want to get one but no local stores have it and I don't know what website I can trust
For real I rather just pick it up in store but none have them😭
Entertainment Earth and Deep Discount have both shown they'll fulfill orders if you get one in at the right time
Thank you I am much appreciative
My Chicago area Walmarts have ZERO Mega Constructs sets. Targets have just blind bags and maybe a Razorback.
Hopefully when the Red Team Charge releases, Walmart will get back into the swing of things
1 minute 25 seconds into the video: claims thats Sword Base. dude did you even play Halo Reach? hate to tell you this but that's Visigrad Relay from the very first mission. Any true Halo fan would have recognized that just from the silhouette alone I wonder how many other people have said the exact same thing I'm saying.
Firstly, you could have pointed that out without being abrasive. And second, if you've watched my videos for awhile, you'll know that I have in fact played none of the Halo games, other than brief sections of 5 and Infinite.
@@DemarcationMedia yeah I didn't mean for it to come across as abrasive and honestly I've only watched a small handful of your videos I think the only ones I've even watched are the reviews for the Pelican inbound, Falcon sweep, UNSC Infinity and the new Forward unto Dawn set the last three of those I'm getting for this Christmas and I'm also aware that the UNSC Infinity set is a 10-year-old set which I'm pretty sure is discontinued but yeah honestly I had no idea you didn't even play any of the games and yet here you are reviewing these sets. Just saying you might want to brush up on your lore. I pretty much live breathe and eat Halo so I may end up getting overzealous in some of my comments so I apologize for that.
omg i cant wait for it to arrive to mexico
It's already in Mexico actually. That's the one place you can find it in stores
Are these better then what they used to be like 6-7 years ago?
For sure. Quality control is still spotty at times but it's a lot better
i still cant get one it no where to be found
It's being stocked on MattelCreations.com at some point in the next few months
I tried looking for it when the set was released, sold out everywhere. Now people are selling the $70 set for $200.
It's been a rough ride for this set
I saw this set in Amazon for 200$ last week on Amazon I put it in my cart for later by the time I came back it was gone 😭😭
It's not worth $200 at all. Wait til Mattel Creations restocks in a few months
@@DemarcationMedia yo you saw them pics I sent ya bro they some heat frfr
I had the original falcon with kat and my brother destroyed it when I wasn’t home so I made sure I got this set I only paid $60 for it too
$60 is not bad!
I live in Australia so getting Mega stuff is already hard enough. You think Mattel will make the Falcon available for us Aussies when it's restocked? I want this set so bad
It will be available worldwide from Mattel Creation sometime between July and September
i remember building my mega bloks playing halo 3
Ey nice!
This is out already?!?!
Yes it is, in some places
@@DemarcationMedia where did you get it from
I'm pretty sure this Noble six is thom, the noble 6 that we play in the game is the replacement, thom died in the deliver hope trailer where he took the nuke into the covenant carrier.
It's not--because Thom has an attachment on his helmet
@@DemarcationMedia oh crap you're right, I don't know why Mega gave this Noble Six the different shoulder pauldrons. Maybe it's because they look closer to the Mark 5 and 6 shoulders and wanted to give him that "hyper lethal" look.
@@DemarcationMedia technically the base Mark 5(b) doesn't have shoulder pauldrons, if they wanted to make it "realistic" they could have not issued shoulder pauldrons with the figure and applied paint directly to the bicep area or create an integrated upper bicep/armor piece.
Maybe in a future figure hopefully?
For the past like two years it's been hard getting more Mega Halo sets for me and I pre-ordered on Entertainment Earth for the Falcon sweep and still haven't got my refund
Contact EE and request a refund again, because they aren't ever getting stock. The Falcon is coming to Mattel Creations exclusively in Q3 of this year, so sometime in the July to September range
Those guns that you said were originally from call of duty were actually used on the original falcon with the fake Kat I believe
Apparently so. COD actually was the one reusing them
Arrows show opening/outlet on chassis (on real planes) 😅 ..not pointing forward..lol
XD Are you sure? It's so easy to forget which way is forward
part if me is jealous that you have it and the other part of me is super excited that I'm finally getting mune shipped to me
Did you get the Amazon preorder or Deep Discount?
@@DemarcationMedia both actually, got tired of waiting for Amazon to say it shipped and took a gamble on a cheaper one off of deep discount
so far i haven't heard anything out of my order from deep discount, although i haven't really checked recently either, but I'll keep it posted here if i get an update on it
news update, i lost mine due to a Amazon miss delivery to an old address after moving..
@@ZoraEpsilon571 Oh no! Are they going to ship a new one???
@@DemarcationMedia nnnope, i was lucky enough to get a refund but they couldn't replace it due to having none in stock at the same price (scalper moment)
but what's weird is they wouldn't let me just either buy the one that got sent back again and send it to the correct address, nor would they just wait to get it and send it back to a correct address
