Mega Construx Halo Banished Marauder Strike Review

[@ebomb1133]

Ah one of my many Unicorn sets. I hunted for this thing for what felt like an eternity when it "released". I eventually gave up bc any that I did find were horrendously overpriced. That's why I ended up just building my own 2 versions of it bc of how impossible it seemed to find. Great review as always my man! 👍

[@DemarcationMedia]

Pretty much the only way to get it without overpaying is having someone in Mexico find it for you

[@krlosmaze1125]

Glad you enjoyed this set as interesting as it is. For me this is my favorite banished jackal. I also prefer this Johnson over the heroes version since it is so clean and on spot. I pair the marauder with the scratched banshee and ghost and they make an awesome trio. Great review :)

[@DemarcationMedia]

Ooh yeah the HW2 Banshee and Ghost are epic

[@collectemall1234]

I really like this set! I think it is a pretty interesting concept that I wish was more widespread release. Great review as always!!

[@DemarcationMedia]

Now if only 343 adds the Marauder to Infinite so Mega can make it again

[@wollog2219]

Set looks amazing, personally for me next week I’m gonna get the Ghost of Requiem set! I’m really hyped to see mainly this Gek Lar fig plus the halo 4 marines

[@DemarcationMedia]

Looking forward to that set as well--it's great that the H4 marines are getting some more attention

[@MonkeysxMoo]

The unfortunate thing about the Prototype build is that it's actually fairly accurate to how it looks, really just the chaingun could've been improved. But yeah, Mega definitely needed to make the back weapons moveable like the Green Machine. I was lucky enough to find someone just a few towns away that had a handful of these selling 'em for $50 a few years ago, super happy I got it at that price and skipped on the shipping fee. I always felt the Marauder's build was a little small until I revisited Halo Wars 2 and saw that the vehicle actually isn't all that big in it, so it's quite accurate even if it looks odd. It's also interesting that this was the first set to include a Banished Jackal when it released long before Infinite brought them into the faction, as Halo Wars 2 did not have any. Sucks this set became so rare because even at the time of the game's release, Banished vehicles were so rare to see in sets, most of it was UNSC.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Yeah Mega sized the Marauder pretty accurately. $50 is pretty darn good for this set

[@waitwhat9939]

"I was not expecting this johnson to be this good"

[@DemarcationMedia]

Okay well when you say it that way, it sounds pretty ridiculous XD

[@PaulyRules]

I never knew this or the other sets you mentioned were sets until a few months ago I didn’t see any of them in stores

[@DemarcationMedia]

Yep, they were only in Mexico

[@SnapDragonProto]

It looks heckin cool!!!! (Also hi DE, how ya been?)

[@DemarcationMedia]

It is cool! And I'm always busy XD

[@SnapDragonProto]

Aww man, me too, (Also yooo u did answer no way :O)

[@DemarcationMedia]

@@SnapDragonProto I try to answer as many comments as I can!

[@warehouseguy97]

I had to have some relatives from Mexico go get it for me cause it was not in the U.S. lol still one of my favorite sets

[@DemarcationMedia]

Yeah everyone in the US never saw this on shelves XD

[@NightmareZerogbs]

I'm surprised to learn that was the retail price, I remember seeing it in stores for what would be like 40~45ish bucks, I got mine on sale for like 25 from a retail store's page.

[@DemarcationMedia]

$25??? Dude, that is a lucky find!

[@azovveles6690]

Be nice if the MK1 prototype suits come with the pieces to pose the back weapons. Going have to make a custom fix for it. 😣

[@DemarcationMedia]

I've seen some people make some pretty good custom fixes without using the piece from the Green Machine

[@commanderblyproductions9017]

This is so fricking awesome

[@DemarcationMedia]

It's so much cooler than I first thought

[@notsafef0rlife]

So I'm tryna get pelican inbound but literally can't find it. I stfg if I can't get it I'ma be pissed

[@DemarcationMedia]

Amazon has it. $130

[@notsafef0rlife]

@@DemarcationMedia in America?

[@DemarcationMedia]

@@notsafef0rlife Yes. I looked literally a day and a half ago and it was in stock

[@notsafef0rlife]

@@DemarcationMedia okay it's just your video on it doesn't have a proper link and neither does anyone else so I was just worried. Ty

[@DemarcationMedia]

@@notsafef0rlife My video came out before the Pelican was released, which is why it didn't have a link

[@arbiterproductions0516]

Wait it’s not called green machine vs banished marauder? I swear that’s what it was called

[@DemarcationMedia]

I looked it up and on Mega's website, that is indeed the name. But the name on the box is just 'Banished Marauder Strike.' Personally, I like Green Machine Vs Banished Marauder better.

[@cbassfuentes4551]

I checked the halo mega archive and surprisingly there were 8 different Halo 4/5 jackals

[@DemarcationMedia]

Are they all full new art or some of the old style ones?

[@cbassfuentes4551]

@@DemarcationMedia some old art

[@Black_Jazz]

Bro that jackal looks goofy

[@DemarcationMedia]

You're not wrong XD

[@Random_fandom_vids]

They didn’t use it for the prototype to be more accurate to the scene with the prototype in it

[@DemarcationMedia]

The Prototype has a minigun hand though, not a big cannon hand

[@Random_fandom_vids]

Canons beat mini gun

[@SaltyBara04]

Impossible
