Hair on marines needs to be more common. In halo 3 the entire UNSC has been beaten down. most marines are full of bloodied bandages, and full of long hair because no one has the time to get a hair cut
On the halo 3 map sand trap there are 2 elephants, one with the leviathan nose art and the other with the mammoth nose art, Guess you’ll have to buy 2 to make both!
I remember back when megablocks popped off massive sets over and over again. Tanks, ships, everything from destiny, call of duty, and halo… what happened…
@@DemarcationMedia more like infinite being crap. mattel/mega distribution being horrible since 2009 when line launched they can barely supply sets half the time,. that's my take on it
Economic recessions and our cultural relation to toys shifting has made it unviable to produce big toys. Most families only "splurge" on electronics when it comes to their children, so the companies wont make big stuff as often even if it has collector demand.
Leviathan and behemoth are the designs that are on the elephants in the map sandtrap from halo 3… I learned this when I just recently played halo 3 multiplayer 🤷♂️
If mega does release a halo 3 Warthog they should make it a troop transport hog. Sure we have the Razorback but we need a proper halo 3 one with the seats for the Marines.
I am surprised Mega released this at all. Their disruption, especially with Halo, has been abysmal. At least in my areas, and I live in a populated area. I don't image they have been selling much with that. Perhaps there is still hope the line can turn around if the game developers get their game right.
Ok… how??? The fact that the fall wave is now fully available during the beginning of summer is so weird! I still love this set, the elephant is one of my favorite sets and this remake does so many things right and the figures are soo good! Great review and keep up the awesome content!
Use the two elephant marines as a corporal or staff sergeant as a second in command under Johnson or stacker 🤙🏽 that’s what I always do with more unique figures
No, you didn't dream it. Mega sets get codenames during their production process. This set's code name was Sandtrap. Another example is the newest Hornet's code name was Snowstorm
My assumption was that the second marine is intended as a female marine, but uses the male torso since that is the torso the chest armor was made for. I've customized a bunch of H3 blind bag marines, and I swapped out the torsos on some for female, and the chest armor definitely doesn't fit as well. It isn't terrible, but the male torso is much more snug since that's what the armor was designed for.
This took me so long to finally finish building, i just took awhile to actually get the time or feel like tackling the daunting task of putting it together now I'm left with a small pile of tiny parts left over and with how big this build was I'm highly doubting myself on if i actually built it properly or not, only way to find out is to find how many parts are left over, or to do a visual check of the full thing just to be sure I didn't miss any tiny details got the missing pieces figured out! i was able to look at the pile of parts you had left over and pick through what i had, found 4 pieces that could have been missed, went through the book to find steps with similar parts, and found what i was missing and where they needed to go, i ended up only having two spots that were missed, a 1x1 brick under the canopy where the controls are, and a 1x2 tile that went under one of the grey armor plates at the rear left corner
Ahh I get ya, also I noticed the back ramp wasn’t lore accurate, so I made a simple change without really having to modify the design that much and it still allows for the warthog to go up in there I can show you if you’d like.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I've been a huge fan of the Elephant for the longest time, and I have the original set and the Halo Wars version that came with Carter and characters, and wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to get this set or not...mainly because the price is really high. I'll likely end up getting it though. lol
Wow and mega wwwoooowww. I can't beliefe this full box without any Airlines like LEGOsets.i like HALOsets from MEGA but herein in Austria it's hard to get them.i like the couloring of MEGA-HALOsets.greetings from Vienna vicepresident of StarTrekclub Vulkan Spirit
Ohhhh it's a new set... I was confused how you were able to build it in the first place... haha. I swear even after building Legos all my life I couldn't ever put together any of the larger Halo sets when I was like 11 or 12. The pieces just wouldn't fit together and the instructions required a degree in linguistics to be able to decipher the steps LMAO
@@DemarcationMedia I think the crane might actually be the same sculpt as the old model. Some day I'll have to rebuild it and see. I wonder if its been scaled up at all to fit the newer figures.
@@DemarcationMedia How big is the difference between the new gen fellas and the old ones? I only ever owned a couple of the new guys from the NMPD and Flame Warthog sets.
Very cool set! I enjoy picking cheaper sets on amazon, especially those COD 4 packs, but these bigger ones I don't even bother haha. Also, I'm not much of a brick builder and I already had to muster all my energy to build the 3 mongooses I had haha. Very cool though! I'm excited to see it in action in photos and maybe some stop motion if someone make one.
I’m really debating either on getting this set or the pelican.. can anyone help me please 😭 I feel like this set is kinda empty and with the pelican it’s too small to carry any troops!
@@DemarcationMedia Both, haha I really can’t make up my mind, what would you consider being worth more in terms of value and how it may be worth in the long run?
@@DemarcationMedia it’s either one of those 2 sets or 4 other sets including the floodgate,UNSC gungoose gambit attack, banished garrison, and the skiff intercept set. I’m losing it😤
@@StarvinMarv1 The Floodgate is a must-have. It has so many weapons, so many flood figures and the Chief is really nice. The structure is fantastic for display, play or dioramas. I would say get the Floodgate and Banished Garrison sets instead of one of the big ones
The pelican that took me 6-8 days The reason being I broke it up into parts I hated the two rear wall parts the back part of the pelican because of the amount of parts early on
Could I get some more info on your pictures contest like what the deadline and where do I submit and will we be making a video to go over the pictures you like and make like a list of top 10 or something maybe go over all the pictures if there aren't too manh
36:00 hoy shit xDDD I'm dying of laughter hahahaha Although, I would use it as a box to store all the weapons of the microfigures, they fit perfectly :'0 I I hope I get to Mexico soon
Ohhh yes, he always does. For some reason Mega always uses Reach Forearms and the wrong lower legs for H2/3 Chief, even though they have the correct parts
Hopefully we get lord hood as figure in more sets same with Rtas'Vadum (half jaw). Guys what you thoughts on them doing a ships captain's/ship master's pack's or like the did for the forward unto dawn??
I think it would be more likely to have those guys reappear in a set like the FUD. Maybe Hood would be paired with one of those orbital defense platforms
I personally hate how rubbery/loose the newer Mega figures are as compared to the original Halo Wars line - unpopular take, but I preferred the figures that had the armor molded to them rather than the armor that can be taken off etc. I get that there is a lot of customized options with that route, but with mainline characters, it's a detriment when half of the parts go missing over time due to looseness.
@@DemarcationMedia Sure, with glue, but that's to the detriment of the product. I get that the parts "can" be fixed, but it makes the overall item appear cheap. The sets have improved a great deal, so I'm not leveling this criticism at the sets at all - purely the figures.
With glue sometimes, yes, but a lot of the time, especially with the softer plastic parts, all you need is some heat. The reason they use softer plastics for the forearms, etc is those won't crack and split the way hard plastics would. The old figures had rampant issues with the necks snapping off and the hands splitting because the plastic was too hard and brittle. I do agree that right out of the box you shouldn't have to fix a product, but I do think mixing in softer plastic was a good choice.
Why are these sets so impossible to find? Doesn't mega want to make money? In the past years I've only been able to find 2 halo sets in retail (warthog and hornet). I'd love to find this in a store since I wanted the original elephant as a kid.
Halo is in a bad spot, so stores just won't buy stock of Halo toys. This set wouldn't show up in stores even if things were going well, not with Toys R Us gone. Places like Target and Walmart tend to cap out their Mega sets at like 100.
Can you fit the warthog rally hog because of its larger size into the back of the elephant. Even if requires taking off the grey ramp. (I would hope you don't need to) (I only have the warthog rally hog)
