Halo Mega Bloks VS Mega Construx! Episode 01. 

domain has uploaded, buffalo wings and chair engaged

REACH ERA GRUNT MOLD GANG

Even though I didn't grow up with Mega Bloks, I still collect old articulation figs. They just have a special charm to them that I love.

I love seeing old and new figure comparisons

Mega bloks because nostalgia

Grunts need a ball joint at the elbow, it would fit no problem on that beefy forearm and give them so much better movement

i remember when you could go into a store like a target or walmart and actually see megablok/mega construx in the stores. i miss those days when i was a kid

This video was a serious labor of love and a series I would love to continue! Let me know what figures you would like to see compared next and how you scored the figures in this video! ☮

Theres a certain beauty in megablocks simple design, but i do like the customizability of construct

Mega bloks to much good memories 😂

this is the kind of content i love to see from you simon, really hits those nostalgia happy buttons in my monkey brain. comparisons like this really help with my currently playing about 9 years of catchup since i stopped collecting these guys haha would love to see more comparisons like this, or some "every ________ figure made" typa videos. would love to see you talk about every EVA figure hahaha

Amazing video! Also the elite at 10:07 was a halo 3 elite

For me it always been mega blocks for the covenant thats way better but mega construct for the spartans that are better

One of my favorite videos that you uploaded Simon. Keep it up

Really dug the comparisons, thank you for this. It's too bad that the newer figures don't incorporate both the marbling and the washes. Having both, I think, would provide some killer looks.

I was born in 2011 so I didn’t really get to experience the older versions and I can’t really find or get any older figures 😭😭😅but I’m glad I still get to see them on your channel btw I love ur channel/content

The first and grey elite you showed in old articulation was the actual Halo 2 elite. You can tell because the helmets are the same. Then the one you actually used to compare to the new Halo 2 elite is a Halo 3 elite minor, again the helmets line up.

Next episode has gotta cover ODSTs and Hunters!

I’m my opinion there both really good company’s.

That new blue elite is the best figure they've ever made imo

I'm Team MB. MCX has the edge on pose-ability. That's it. The paint applications of MB is the sole reason I started collecting. If they would combine the SP figure design of MCX with the paint apps of MB. That would bring me back to collecting. I've been selling my collection slowly on Ebay. I'll keep some select figures for display. One being the gold painted Hunter from BloksFest I got in a trade years ago. As well as some custom commissions from the legend BigFatChef.

Babe wake up, Domain dropped another BANGER

That one green elite minor from the old blind bags was the pre arbiter before the phantom released 😂

Really makin me feel old, and I'm not that old.

Just got the 20th anniversary figure pack, and the floodgate firefight set, and I'm quite happy with them.

Watching this at 1:17 hits different 👌

Just spent $300 something on my first big haul, have so much good memories with my brothers with halo and cod mega bloks, though I’m pretty sure I like the halo series much more

Love ya bro!

If they changed the new elite head mold it would definitely be perfect, it shouldnt be the halo 4 and 5 elites head

Fantastic nostalgic video. Def missed the camouflage back in the day pieces. Maybe one day it will be brought back.

I love both

I wish that mega made a lot more halo sets the ones we have are amazing but theres not enough

Awsome stuff man

With the elite it’s weird that I almost prefer the old one as it’s almost like the halo 3 McFarlane figure scaled down. Maybe it’s the helmet and colour.

Please do more!

What would be peak would be new articulation figures with paint jobs like the old ones. And I mean not just in the hero lines or special packs but even the painted weapons to make them pop

Mega Blocks I like much more for the paint immersion. It holds up so well and a couple things are slightly bulky for me like the elite helmets on the new release is just a little too large. If it was a bit thinner it would mesh so much better

I forgot about the chase jackal, I remember hunting for it in 2012 and it was non existent

Iconic

Awesome vid! Goose approved, can't wait to see more of this series

Depends on the person really I prefer new elites but I also prefer old jackals

Every new articulation figure is better now except for the brutes. The chieftain from the NMPD hq set will never be topped by the Infinite figs. Of course, I'm not talking about the new honor guard that came out recently that thing is insane

I absolutely hated the original grunt articulation but loved the paint jobs

halo 3 elite btw for the redesign you can tell by how detailed the helmet is

Makes me sad I don't have mine anymore I spent my whole childhood collecting things I had know idea the value of

good video

CONFESSION: i know about the helmets not being the same color as the metallic green chest.... BUT I AM ABLE TO UNSEE IT, AND IGNORE IT SOMEHOW :O

I love the old elites. Anyone know if theres a way to upgrade the old elites to look a bit better? To make them taller and more menacing as simon described the new articulation?

Bro, mega blocks for the win

I agree Simon, I feel like the mega bloks have more paint apps on not only the fig, but also the gun as well. I mean the spartan laser is just beautiful on the CQB. So one thing I wanna mention if you would be interested, Is I wanna see more stopmotions from you. I know you haven’t done it in a while, and it would be cool. I mean see ing the background of the video would be perfect for a stopmotion. So you should try it again.

Buen video de halo me emocionado mucho ver tus videos

Both even. Bloks were unique i tnik for spartans they had a good head/ body ratio except for marines, bc construx arms went to far out and with all the articulation and felt like mini action figures of mcfarlane. Constux had better customizable stuff and better looking covenant

Were is part two

Hey dude, I am just wondering if you are going to the Atlanta HCS this June. I am, and I am super exited! 😃

9:48 Nah you ruined the balance here. The Mega Bloks Elite is an Elite from Halo 3, while the Mega Construx Elite is an Elite from H2A. The previous articulated Elite that came in the H.Infinite Mongoose was the Elite from Halo 3 as well, having a variant painted as Halo CE in the Clash on the Ring Blindbags. The Elite from Halo 2A is the counterpart to the first Elite from Halo Wars (as you can compare in the video) and has another painted variants, even the Ultra Elite from the first Wraith Set (a Top Figure imo), since these are based directly on the Elites from Halo CE/Halo 2 and some time later Bungie took the design of the Elites helmet for the Minor Elite in Halo Reach, being reused by Blur in H2A like the Halo Wars Marine Armor that we saw in green too.

Great series, keep it going

To be real I like Mega bloks more, I just like it because it's simple

What is the newest halo Lego set in 2024

old far better due to less rubbery feel and less parts falling off

I loved the mega bloks but the meg construx had more then the previous

You should try and get mattycrafts to make you a custom mega blocks flood brute ❤😊😅😂

I really want these packs are there any places where I can actually buy them for their normal price?

Ye

I thought that there were the same

The biggest thing mega construx did was give us Rtas with two mandanles instead of four like the old ultra

The original ones are a million times better

Aren’t they the same company?

Is beatliful

Ya mudda buys you mega blocks insteada legoos

If you would like to see some of my flood customs, I can show you them over email

Mesa lobe this

Never heard an American call it a loft

Idk how mega block won some of these

💕💕💕👍👍👍😊

Day one of commenting wort wort wort

You forgot the hunters!

Why is the brute, albino. lol And the new elite's armor is too bright.
