The Spartan I got in my set had a hand that was practically popping out of the socket. But thats my problem so... yeah. other than that it's a great set in my opinion.
Another excellent review in every regard, loved the intro. I haven't opened one of these sets yet but this review has got me looking forward to doing so even more. Very pleased to hear you're working on part 2, really looking forward to that.
Thanks so much!! Yep I'm sure you'll love the set haha. Can't wait to see your take on it! Cheers, I wanted to include some clips of Resolute Harmony part 2 so people can see I'm definitely still working on it 😆
Although this set is quite questionable, I do love the idea of this set, but there are many things MCX could have improved on though. Thanks for including my feedback btw! I love these reviews! They are detailed & very entertaining to watch 😁👍
I think my issue with the feet is the peg holes themselves. They're round instead of the oval shape provided from the earlier or more common figures, meaning they stick to the pegs more like suction cups. Otherwise I do like this pack a lot, considering I'm happy with generic Marines that look unified. Awesome review by the way, the quality and animation is nice
I am actually quite pleased with mine. The demolitionist Marine from the one I purchased does have a deformed left arm at the wrist joint, but ironically it grants fuller range of motion to the hand. Definitely a great set to acquire in multiples. From the animation standpoint a few do have loose feet, however none I’ve encountered so far have loose leg/thigh joints. You do make a good point with the lack of muzzle flash pieces in this set. Personally it doesn’t bother me as I don’t use them, but they would have been a nice addition. My particular favorite detail from the new Marines are the holes in the pupils of each eye. With accurate lighting they can give the illusion of the eyes moving to “look” at the camera. Downside of this physical attribute is my demolitionist’s head (grey-haired female) has off-center eyeholes making it seem to stare up towards the ceiling. Overall I would rate this set 8/10. Great review; looking forward to the next one!
Nice review and it's a great pack. As a 'headhunter' (especially with a couple of unique heads) this is perfect for me. The different tops and short sleeves are really welcome as well.
That's a great point, I forgot to mention that aspect in the review. Bare heads were a real pain to get a hold of before but they're starting to become easier with sets like this. Cheers Dafter!
Me gustó mucho la review con stop motion, por cierto soy el único que cree que cada uno de los marines se parece a un personaje de rápidos y furiosos :v
Nice work this review was amazing! The stop motion bit at the start was phenomenal! I would recommend although using a flashlight or vfx to add a flash to the plasma based weapons. Nice review especially love the way you set all the stuff up. Thanks for mentioning my comment.
Yeah tell me about it haha. Although at the moment you can buy it on Amazon.com for £15 rather than searching on .co.uk version of Amazon. But it'll cost about £10 shipping. That's how I get my orders, I bundle them together so the shipping isn't as much of an issue
I was lucky enough to get my hands on 2 others sets, and although I love the marines, I personally think that the details can't pop out and show with the plain mould and that the undersuit it a slightly off colour and it all feels too clean? Same with the modern grunts. I modified mine by adding metal scratches and used a wash to darken and muddy the figures, it also really helped to make the chest and helmet details stand out!
Nice! Yeah I know what you mean, figures always look so much better after adding a wash or metalic scratches but the original marines already looked decently grimey and grizzled even without it, compared to these new shiny plastic-looking ones
I just found your channel, and I have to say I'm impressed with your quality. You have that same level of professionalism and attention to detail as Jangbricks, but your inclusion of stop motion sets it apart with that extra character.
Being British I have a hard time finding sets. Or anything for that matter especially as they are overpriced with a £12 set being priced at £24 with delivery because my local toy store can’t be bothered to restock Megan’s halo. But do restock Pokémon. Which I’m not even into. Is their anywhere you get I dunno. A baggie of marines? Like how you can get with Lego? I hate that it’s so hard to get newer sets or any for that matter. Can’t even buy it off their site in England
You can always pain the orange spartan. Also, I have a question. Is the blue 104 variant rare, or is it blue because they where lazy. Also, are the masked marines still being sold?
My standard came all screwed up lol, her right arm doesn't wanna work, along with the fact her hand doesn't wanna hold anything. So ima probably gonna use her as a wounded marine found in a busted frigate or something. But I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue?
So i bought three of these platoon packs, and also was able to find a battle unit as well, i can say i really do like these sets, but i now also have 4 orange mark 5 spartans! Other than that though, only nitpick is that the joints and the feet are always a bit loose, but thats just my experience.
Bruh my platoon back was so bad the quality control was terrible one marines foot couldnt fit on a stud lots of the figures legs were loose and loose armor pieces also
hey man , this is just a suggestion to review , this set i think is how you write , and a little old it and the UNSC gun goose the one with the noble 6
I cant seem to find this set anywhere in the UK without having to pay ridiculous shipping prices,. If you don't mind me asking, how and where did you manage to find it?
Very good review of this wonderful set, follows this type of videos I find very entertaining, interesting and informative, a request, could you do the animated review of the set "Skiff Intercept" and the new surprise series number 2 of halo infinite? Nice video, you win a new suscriber 👌
You know what they need to do is make the big legs that the older marines had for the Spartans. I mean to have a accurately bigger and taller Master Chief side by side with the smaller marines making him look like a giant would honestly look amazing.
They should make separate bags of just muzzle flashes, including 10 or so of them.
YESSSSS
Or a covenant platoon since getting the covenant is hard on its own
The Spartan I got in my set had a hand that was practically popping out of the socket. But thats my problem so... yeah.
other than that it's a great set in my opinion.

Chaingun Marine: We weren't expecting special forces.
Spartan: That's the point Marine.
Nice work this review was amazing! The stop motion bit at the start was phenomenal! I would recommend although using a flashlight or vfx to add a flash to the plasma based weapons. Nice review especially love the way you set all the stuff up.
Thanks for mentioning my comment.
I mixed parts with the yankee marines with these guys bodies and it look better than expected
Ah interesting, that's a cool idea. Might have to give that a go!
I love how you listed the price as £15.99. I wish any mega construx set was commercially available in any stores in the UK. I'd love that
Yeah tell me about it haha. Although at the moment you can buy it on Amazon.com for £15 rather than searching on .co.uk version of Amazon. But it'll cost about £10 shipping. That's how I get my orders, I bundle them together so the shipping isn't as much of an issue
Good~ It's a really cool battle scene!! 😎
Any recommendations on what to do with the stand and shield when you give the turret to a spartan?
Why would you have bright orange armor? Doesn’t seem the most practical😂
Cómo admiro estás animaciónes :D ojalá yo también tenga pocos dislikes como tus vidios :'(
Picked up two of these. I left one of them normal, but I did some mix and match with the second one.
oooohooooh yeah, new animated Review, what was needed this weekend
Thanks for the assist BRUHHHHHH he took out all three
Cool! Really like the short animation at the beginning!
5:10 makes for nice spinning effects though.
this level of review is amazing
I might just super glue the feet.
the intro was gold
I like that Mega is making marines more accessible, though I would like to see a Covenant battle pack like this
Please, Spanish subtitles
I send you my greetings from México :D
I've just added them! Thanks for watching :D
id buy alot of these if i had the money. And the stop motion at the beginning was really good!

primer comentario
Did any of the figures have loose shoulder armor out of the box? If not, I want it lol
No all of the shoulder armour on mine were totally fine. The chest armour moves ever so slightly but I didn't find it a problem 👍
@@SonicJohn117 awesome!! Loose shoulder armor is the reason I’m always so turned off for these pre built figs, besides Heros, which I know are fine.
👍👍👍💕💕💕like
3 of my marines from this set had loose forearms, and they wouldn't fit properly.
Yoooo this was sick! Loved it man! I actually got that set
4:46-4:51

the Sniper and the Technician give me major Crosshair and Tech vibes from The Bad Batch XD
Good job, I hope you get what your looking for in you stop motion. The feet you can just glue in place. And good luck! 👍
The platoon pack is actually the one I got and now animate with
Let’s appreciate the giga Chad the marine hip firing the sniper rifle
You can always pain the orange spartan. Also, I have a question. Is the blue 104 variant rare, or is it blue because they where lazy. Also, are the masked marines still being sold?
A cheap And easy fix for the loose foot is to take them off and put some sticky tack/thumb tack on the peg
I own 3 of these for the marines, as for the spartans, well...Fireteam Phoenix on standby.
My standard came all screwed up lol, her right arm doesn't wanna work, along with the fact her hand doesn't wanna hold anything. So ima probably gonna use her as a wounded marine found in a busted frigate or something.
But I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue?
one of the reasons I watch these videos are for the short animations in the beginning
I might use a few of these in the cross display I'm building for my shelf it's gonna be a cross display of my destiny and halo construx
I actually wasn't expecting my comment in one of these videos
Actually found a use for one of my defective marines: Combat Casualty
So i bought three of these platoon packs, and also was able to find a battle unit as well, i can say i really do like these sets, but i now also have 4 orange mark 5 spartans! Other than that though, only nitpick is that the joints and the feet are always a bit loose, but thats just my experience.
Can mega construx figure stand on their own without the tile base?
Bruh my platoon back was so bad the quality control was terrible one marines foot couldnt fit on a stud lots of the figures legs were loose and loose armor pieces also
I like the new legs. They solve the midget look problem the marines use to have. The shoes are in more close proportion to real shoes.
I think they should bring back the old marine legs because these new ones just look too skinny and weird
What an insanely well polished review. Outstanding pal!
could you review the banshee breakout set?
hey man , this is just a suggestion to review , this set i think is how you write , and a little old it and the UNSC gun goose the one with the noble 6
I give my extra orange figs to collecters
It would be lovely if you made a stop motion halo wars harvest war envelope
I think some sandbags would be nice 👍
The orange guy was the quiet kid in my class.
I made it go from 1.7k to 1.8k
I bought two of them I opened one and now I’m waiting to for the razor back then I’ll open the other
I think they should make one for the covenant or another one
great opening animation! love the vids
I'm not getting this set any time soon I realy hate when the feet move
The only thing about this set to me is that there’s a lot of girls and I’m a guy so I rather have men marines.
I would love to add these to my collection
I want some silent shadow fillings
Do u use PC for the sounds and the shooting
where can i get one in the uk?! i need one of these sets
oh and i only have the new infinite warthog and mongoose and a elite ultra and 2 old mega bloks spartans
I had to go onto Amazon but the US version of Amazon (.com) and order it that way. It still shipped to the UK
Another good review video keep it up
I made an animation once I got this, its on my channle
Whit u forgot the Granade
I used to play this in arxade
Love the stopmotions
Where can I buy this?
Now I'm gonna get 3 of these
these reviews are awesome man!
Блин жалко что я из России и не знаю где купить такой
I think it was a bad idea to buy 2 sets same as that :v
These videos give me life
Great job on this
I just got this set!
Worth the wait :)
F por los subtitulo en español
I want more
Great review as always! The set is so good for army building.
not funny
Cool one
I cant seem to find this set anywhere in the UK without having to pay ridiculous shipping prices,. If you don't mind me asking, how and where did you manage to find it?
US targets and amazon have it for 19.99

Dude I know u only have 4 but u should do more review I love watching them and u should do the show down the banish anti air craft
And I remember watching ur battle of the brick red vs blue when I was 12 u came a long way and ur apart of my childhood man so good luck
Love this review series. You gotta love that intro!
There a way to fix the foot problem! Look in reply
Glue them(gorilla glue for me)
noice
Dude, every time I see these vids it just brings a smile to my face.
Nice opening animation and intro, the set great, I do want to get one.
How do you put the muzzle flashes on the guns that they dont attach to like the sniper and sidekick
I added a tiny bit of sticky-tak onto the end of the muzzle flash so it would stick to those guns
@@SonicJohn117 oh ok thank you
First
You know what they need to do is make the big legs that the older marines had for the Spartans. I mean to have a accurately bigger and taller Master Chief side by side with the smaller marines making him look like a giant would honestly look amazing.
