25 Custom Builds - Goodwill Hunter's Halo Mega Bloks Collection 2011-2012

[@SpartanJoe193]

10 years later and still looks gorgeous.

[@The_Marine708]

Dude I remember being a kid and every day I would watch your videos. Bro, you where my child Hood. Like I always wanted these and I would make my own versions and stuff. Good memories.

[@GWHunter1]

Thanks for the nice words, but I must admit your comment made me chuckle. I've only been doing this for five years and you made it sound like it's been 25 or more! Glad these builds hold good memories for you, old man... ;)

[@aboywholivetheuk7023]

Halo has one of the best game soundtrack in my opinion

[@imgayandiloveharambefager9348]

omg I was just thinking that

[@Chase_1734]

HECTIC GAMING got to say halo 3 ODST's was pretty boring some parts

[@samward5230]

you like that? try doom's soundtrack, frikin' amazing!

[@noobtube2783]

ikr it almost make me cry not really but its awesome

[@Phantom90622]

Weeb Trash true

[@samward5230]

bruh I'm sure the people over at mega blocks saw this and said "Let's wait a year or two and release all of these as sets..." and then some other dude (probably the CEO) was like "oh hail yea..." ten bucks says two weeks we have a flame warthog.

[@ryatt9365]

This video is the purest of Mega Halo nostalgia, next to AOS45. Over a decade old, my god. I saw this when it first came out and now I'm a whole adult. Just crazy.

[@onyxserenitatem7636]

KZbin recommended this to me just now. I watched this when it first released. Memories

[@brandonrosas4176]

Mega bloks should hire you make great sets

[@Black_Phantom707]

Yeah I know right he very talented

[@GWHunter1]

Well, I was my own cameraman, director, editor, etc...and I already had the music in my soundtrack collection, so basically nothing!

[@GWHunter1]

Interesting breakdown and analysis. Most of the sets I use for customs are bought on sale, clearance or used from ebay, so your cost estimate is actually rather high. In terms of a sale price, I prefer to hold onto my custom builds, so I've never really thought about how I would go about setting one. Thanks for the feedback!

[@thedomainhalo]

Wow! I can't believe I have never found this video. Awesome :)

[@wolfster95]

Amazing to found you here, i return to this video from time to time, it may be old, but it still have some amazing customs compared to these years

[@thedomainhalo]

Wolfster you’ll find me wherever there’s awesome Halo!

[@stepdaddy21_10]

Wow can’t believe it been 10 years I remember when I saw the video I was only 12 now that I’m 22 I miss those days

[@alvitrash7414]

I loved your videos as a kid and i as an adult still love your builds. Thanks man for the memories and inspiration with my own sets. Hope you are doin well.

[@GWHunter1]

You put a smile on this old man's face...what a great comment! Always humbled by people like you who say that what I did for fun so long ago had some sort of impact on their lives. While I am saddened by Mega's decline under the ownership of Mattel, I am still building and living the dream...thanks for asking and making my day!

[@StevenHellvaren]

@@GWHunter1 This video literally meant the world to me and my brother when we were kids. We would watch it over and over again, and living in such a remote place, it made a huge difference for us. I still think back to those times, and it always brings a smile to my face. I agree, Mega Bloks definitely went downhill, but I’m just grateful we got to experience it in its prime. Hope everything’s been going well for you, and that you’re finding your own little moments of joy too.

[@GWHunter1]

@@StevenHellvaren thanks so much for the kind words! I’m still blown away that posting videos of my hobby had such an impact on people. I was just having fun, and what fun it was back in the day! Still building these days, and it is definitely different now, but I am doing well, thanks again for your uplifting comment!

[@nomadstudios9564]

You can, you just have to believe in yourself and also have tons of sets

[@maxmccrabb2477]

That vulture is SPOT ON!

[@J29117]

You lnow somethings up when your custom scarab is better than the set

[@yogibear9355]

Jack Perry Ehhh, not really. This one was amazing don’t get me wrong. A true feat of ingenuity, but the official Scarab in my opinion is better. It can stand on its own, and Mega was able to make their own specialized pieces for the set. But working with what he has and was able to get, it was amazing.

[@s1lenttaked0wn-90]

He actually assisted in making the design for the 2014 scarab

[@joshkearns7470]

@@yogibear9355 look i agree but you would presume a company worth millions would make it better than some lad that just loves halo

[@SCHMALLZZZ]

@@joshkearns7470 I assume the people that love Halo will do better than the people that don't love halo

[@mr.archtalon4751]

Aw man, I would watch your videos all the time as a a kid, and it would inspire me to make stopmotions of my own. Thanks

[@GWHunter1]

When doing a custom build of an existing design, I find as many guide images as I can, and just try to match what I see using Mega Bloks as closely as I can. That's really all there is to it.

[@jacobbaker9389]

Your scarab is the best. I love how you used the banshee parts for the legs. Keep building !

[@andrewmoreau2311]

I really enjoy looking at these amazing builds of yours, Hunter! Even though Mega Bloks basically ripped off your idea for the Scarab.

[@yogibear9355]

TheNewBlueNoob How though?

[@lowqualitytrash7034]

I know that this is a 3 year old comment but gwhunter did work on the scarab design with mega bloks, idk if you know this, feel free to call me stupid

[@Mr.Killjoy95]

you should seriously consider sending in some of those designs to mega bloke! Who knows, they may pay you for your designs. I honestly think you do a better job than the people that design the box sets. Keep it up man!

[@senorcheems8388]

Man made the sets before the company

[@crazzypanda1176]

Returning here after 7 years when you first uploaded. Brings back good memories I loved your vids.

[@pocketcat-117]

Hola hunter, puede que no entiendas esto pero queria decir que veia siempre yus videos de pequeño y ahora los apreció demasiado me inspiraste a hacer mis propios customs Sea donde sea que estés espero que te encuentres bien Un saludo desde México👍🏻

[@sampollard1998]

Just a quick thought that passed through my head as I watched this, I thing a lot of people would like to see a Lich and a Mamoth from Halo 4.

[@africancouscous]

Bunco Time the unsc Cobba looks similar just other color

[@IamDogge]

When he showed the covenant spirit, the music made me remember halo 3, but those times are gone, sadly

[@dakotaraptor5918]

the nightingale is now a support unit in halo wars 2 it looks more like a falcon though.

[@Void_tear3123]

But he got the whole concept of the vehicle right

[@jerrell1169]

Spec Ops I think that’s because it was originally a concept in Halo Wars 1 like many of the vehicles he’s built

[@connprbarker3518]

Even though alot of these things are now proper Mega Bloks sets, they still stand out because they were made before all the official ones. And he'll, some like the Spirit still aren't! It goes to show how good these are when it's hard to tell the difference between a custom made set and a real one. Good job!

[@Koryn117]

who knew the razorback is now a vehical

[@Bobo-wp2bw]

Shame it doesn’t have treads. But it does have the same idea of a beefier warthog that carries more people.

[@UnSapoPerroMas]

Dude, I watched this video when I was 7 years old. I always want to make one of those Mega Bloks

[@gangstaluigi2311]

Hello, GWHunter! I would like to ask you a question. When you collaborated with MegaBloks for the Scarab set, did they mention possible future collaboration? I would love to see a UNSC base set! Having that vs a Scarab and a ton of other stuff would be such a kickass diorama!

[@j_williams5076]

Hell yea

[@troywhitelock6441]

I HAVE SOMETHING I NEED TO SAY TO THIS MAN!!! You're a genius.

[@patrickthestar8623]

I can totally see that. The way I see it is that you could order on Amazon and just pick out the buildings you want on your base. Holy crap I could totally see that being an exclusive set!

[@t_mouse_schmit7829]

That scarab looks better than any mega bloks scarabs I have seen, even the official scarab set! Great job!

[@ayylmao9697]

Thomas Smith he helped mega blocks make the scarab

[@justsomeguywithoutlips9549]

This video was made on my birthday

[@peternastro5910]

I am speechless, These are the Best custom builds i have EVER seen, my mind is blown I think my head was gonna explode when i saw the Scarab.

[@nicolaspascoe863]

Dude, you should be the new creator in MegaBloks studio

[@andrewmoreau2311]

i agree!

[@sherryjacobs3084]

andrew moreau he is

[@ponds91st]

+Sherry Jacobs OK now hold up, you're telling me, that this guy is making official sets?

[@showerlizard9549]

He is though

[@GWHunter1]

Glad you liked them, thanks for the feedback!

[@AlutaShade]

Although I've never liked the MegaBlocks brand, and have always loved LEGO brand instead, I will definitely say these MOCs are badass. If MB ever released your Halo CE Covenant Dropship or Scarab, I'd be forced to snatch them up. They're too amazing not to own! The scarab especially, my favorite.

[@aidanmillward2146]

they are making a scarab set based on his design watch commander bacara's video about the NY toy fair they talk about some other really cool sets and some of them already came out

[@AlutaShade]

Alexander Harris I wasn't aware that LEGO ever made Halo sets...?

[@fig4558]

AlutaShade They don't.

[@morscer9281]

You can buy lego halo customs of the web.

[@TheboyWHOboughtAbred]

AlutaShade I really know what you are saying about the awesomeness of the Scarab but sadly is the convenant ship that killed Carter in Halo Reach or basically he got killed by trying to destroy one :))

[@GWHunter1]

Thanks for the feedback, and also thanks for providing what I suspect is one of the funniest awkward autocorrect examples I have seen in a while. ;)

[@glenjohn5016]

nice buids bro, your very creative

also the renevent

***** Especially the scarab

[@sharkfacemlg]

scarab

[@GamingVideosAndMore]

yes.

[@walkingbrick4529]

This guy worked for Mega Bloks before Mega Bloks was Mega Bloks. Looking back on this, half of these became sets and DAMN are they similar...

[@Demospammer9987]

I don't remember seeing alot of these vehicles (like the razorback and mastodon) are they original creations or vehicles from the games?

[@GWHunter1]

They and a few others, like the Nightingale and Dragonfly are original designs, but most were either used or planned to be used in one of the Halo games.

[@Demospammer9987]

Wow... they look pretty kick ass! If only they became official sets, then I'd be able to get one. Obviously I would get the Nightingale first, as I need a medical vehicle to get injured troops out of the battlefield. However, the Mastodon, Dragonfly, base turrets, and Razorback looked awesome as well.

[@chuckr3762]

you should show these new ones to 343 industries these would be awesome to use

[@chuckr3762]

343 should add evey single planed or original vehicle from all halo games into Halo 5 Guardians

Yes it looks like that but in Halo wars it makes it's only appearance in the halo series it am a very dedicated halo player and wondered why it was in no other halos just like falcons are only in halo reach

[@thehipinmyear]

Josh Lunt Man... Falcons were the shit... so much more fun to fly than hornets.... you can tell they made hornets first in Halo 3, and then made the Falcon for Reach, knowing that everyone would call bullshit on the fact that the UNSC would take falcons "out of commission" months later. unless the dawn only had hornets.. :S I like to think that. :)

I love to see a good custom built scarab it just shows how talented people are.

[@GWHunter1]

Days even! What can I say, some people spend their time rebuilding old cars, I spend my spare hours making Halo Mega Bloks custom builds...some would even call it a hobby!

[@gabrielortiz2970]

I'm making a unsc marine base and watching this has gave me more great ideas thanks 😀

[@GWHunter1]

Some are based on concepts developed for Halo but never used in the actual games, others are things I just dreamed up...as far as seeing them all, I'm pretty sure you're already at the one place where that's possible!

[@GWHunter1]

Actually, I just made up a few, like the Razorback, Nightingale, Mastodon, and Dragonfly...the rest were either planned for use, or used in the Halo series.

[@GWHunter1]

Thanks! And as far as a space ship "thingy" goes, check out the UNSC Infinity build on this same bat channel!

Thanks for the feedback!

[@sebastianauditore1024]

That vulture was amazing

[@GWHunter1]

Instructions for the Revenant and Firebase Turrets can be found on the SpartanBloks website, instructions for the larger builds would just take too long to do. As far as reviews go, I'll leave that up to you and the other viewers...greetings from Wisconsin!

[@matthewlechuga072]

Some amazing build but when I saw the Scarab I was speechless just wow wow it’s better than the actual thing Great job man

[@_FarEastStar]

I'm speechless about ur creativity

[@SkippingAsssassin117]

These are masterful builds, the detailing and features on each one of these builds is phenomenal! I was really impressed with the cobra but then all of a sudden, Spirit, Reactor, Darters/Heavy supply pad, SCARAB and a whole bunch of the others! These are incredible. No doubt people will be "Shut up and take my money!" I don't blame them, these are too good. Well done!

[@GordonShemway1]

It's crazy how close some of these look to the actual Mega Bloks sets.

[@TrueSavage555]

Coming close to a million views! Great job man :D

[@Tigershark_3082]

Hot damn, I remember sitting at the computer in my old house. When I watched this video for the first time, I don’t think I had even played halo yet. Still, I was amazed at how absolutely kickass your builds were, and still are. It was also this video that made “The Covenant Dance” one of my all time favourite halo songs. I still collect these sets every now and then, even though I am 16. Actually, I kind of want to try and recreate one of my aircraft drawings as a build in either Lego or Mega Construx, so I can have a physical representation of it.

[@dgtechnokid]

These builds are AWESOME!!! Especially the Covenant Scarab. Great Work!!!

These are amazing! Dude you are insane! Keep it up!

This is so cool merry Christmas dude!

[@GWHunter1]

The ones you don't recognize are of my own design, but made to fit in the Halo universe.

[@Chiefstep]

That was amazing! These are easily the best custom builds I have ever seen! For those in the comments complaining, custom build doesn't mean original idea. A lot of these are creations of existing Halo buildings/vehicles that just don't have their own Mega Bloks sets yet.

[@dylancrossman1640]

Your build had inspired me to build too! I remember trying to CLONE your builds in my first year of custom building lol, It never got successful lol, In 2014 i try build something i could create myself (It didn't got successful really) And in 2015 i still try to build something by myself (without cloning) it got more success and more success and now in 2016 I'm still doing bigger build and bigger build! I will never would've been well known (in facebook and few forum) if it haven't been from you and Vince Hoffman builds!
