Not Bad.
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.

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.
