Customer Reviews
Beautiful set, but I wish it was Lego.
I normally avoid Mega Bloks because they have a tendency to be inferior in quality to Lego. This was the case here as well, with bricks that don’t fit snugly and others that are warped. In the end there were certain parts that would not even stay on. The two chin-guns and the laser cannons would not stay on at all. In the end I had to bust out the super glue and glued everything that kept falling off. Now it makes a great display piece, but I can never take it apart, but I don’t think I ever would have anyway.
Once together the Hawk looks absolutely awesome. Mega Bloks did an excellent job on the shape and appearance and the stickers and camo-colored blocks only add to the look.
While the Hawk is the focal point of the set the Banshee is every bit as good and looks as close to the video game as you could get. The figures are also very good, and much more articulated and realistic than the Lego offerings. Children may find them harder to pose because of this, but I didn’t buy this for the kids, I bought it for me. 
If the set had been offered in Lego I would give it 5 stars but because of the quality issues with Mega Bloks I deducted 1 star. Be warned, if your child wants to be able to build and re-build the model it may be difficult because without super glue the Hawk had parts that would not stay together. The Banshee and gun turret, as well as the figures, were fine.
Love this set!
This was my first set in Mega Brands’ Halo Wars line, and I was very eager to get my hands on it. The set is composed mostly of basic bricks, rather than over-specialized elements of limited versatility. The few pieces that are specialized, such as the two canopies, are still sufficiently useful to be easily incorporated into a range of custom creations.
The Hawk is IMO the best-designed aircraft I’ve seen from any brick-based construction toy in recent years, including LEGO. It has great lines and an unconventional attachment structure for the tail, and the end result is a scrappy little fighter that really looks like it can dish it out as well as take it. The cockpit holds one Spartan figure. It’s armed with missiles, laser cannons beneath the wings, and a pair of chin-mounted machine guns. An excellent design overall.
The Banshee is also very good, with unusual angles and a truly sinister canopy. Even when it’s just setting on my desk it appears to be in flight, and the forward mounted cannons appear to pack quite a punch! The down-swept wings give it the appearance of a predator.
In addition to the two craft, the set also includes a Covenant gun turret to give the Hawk a little something extra to worry about.
The set includes two Covenant forces and two Spartans, and the figures are really amazing–highly detailed sculpts with great articulation. One of the two Spartan figures carries a flame-thrower built from four separate elements yet quite sturdy when built.
This is easily one of my favorite brick constructions sets in quite a few years.
