A terrific model!

This is a great little set and a very good introduction to Mega Brands' Halo Wars product line. The design is pretty simple overall, using a nice assortment of basic bricks rather than specialized, single-use elements. The colors are excellent--really good representations of Halo colors, and frankly it just looks great.

The turret itself features four laser cannons and a seat for the gunner. In addition, the turret swivels and elevates to provide a 360-degree arc of fire--enough to keep even the most stubborn Covenant forces at bay!

My favorite part is that the UNSC Turret includes three Spartan figures, so that this is a good set for starting to build your army! The figures are remarkably detailed and great representations of Spartans.

A fine set from start to finish. I already own three and plan to purchase at least two more.

Not Bad.

Reviewer: M. Sutherland,

This was my first Mega Bloks Halo Wars set, and honestly, I wasn't expecting much. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of MB and I like Halo, but I'd heard some pretty bad reviews. Honestly, I bought it to get my hands on the figures - which turned out to be very well done and highly pose-able. Not thrilled with the over-sized shotguns, but I was able to fix that easily with a little mod work. Having bought the thing, I decided I should at least put the turret together and see how it worked - and I was pleasantly surprised. It went together easily with only one minor issue - the side shields are attached early in the build (for no good reason) and get in the way. Naturally, they pop off throughout the build. When attached at the end, they are fairly stable, but will pop off. I put in a little tissue to tighten the clutch and they were rock solid. Same with the guns, which do tend to be a bit loose. In the end, my only real gripe with this set was that there isn't an interface between the figure and the weapon. He sits in the chair and has no handles to grab. If you build it as per the instructions, he can't even touch the control panel. Easy to fix with a little creativity and a few spare bricks, but somewhat annoying. Overall, though, this is a nice model with some excellent figures.

Its a great set for mega bloks.here are the pros and cons. pros: nice color scheme (camo), the turret turns 360 and goes up and down, amazing detail with the spartan soldiers, and the weapons are cool. cons:its a little hard to fit the spartan soldiers into the seat on the turret, the submachine gun fits strangely into the spartan's hand, and the circular exhaust vents on the sides of the turret didn't even snap on. but overall a GREAT toy.

My son received this as a gift for Christmas this year. What a complete disappointment. We are avid LEGO fans so we assumed that the quality of MEGABLOK would be similar. The review that complained about the pieces not staying on is absolutely correct. The cannons on the front will not stay on, like the reviewer said, these would have to be glued on in order for them to stay in place. The top piece also pops off any time it's touched. One of the pre assembled characters had a leg on backwards, no way to fix this, apparently he has two left feet. I have not bought any other MEGABLOK sets so I am unsure if this quality issue of the pieces popping off all the time is across the board. We certainly don't have this problem with LEGOS. In fact, my son sometimes brings me pieces to pry apart with my nails (much prefer this to the frustration of things falling off all the time.) I would return this gift if we still had the box. As I said, don't waste your money, go with LEGOS instead!

total BUST

Halo should have been marketed by Lego. There isn't a Lego set that my 9 year old son can't put together. He has sets from almost every series that Lego puts out.

My son is also a Halo fan and we've purchased every Halo Mega Blocks set. Each one sucks. The pieces don't fit well and they all fall apart at the slightest touch. Some of the pieces won't even snap together. The only good thing I can say is that the models look good when they are completed (if possible) but they don't stay intact.
