Mega Construx Halo Warthog Run review (10th anniversary 2019)

[@chuckjones6612]

I think it’s funny that over 10 years after Halo 3 was released people are still arguing about what color arbiter is

[@bombomos]

He black. His armor is silver. His undersuit is black

[@revdaddy6934]

@@bombomos His undersuit has a mix of black and real dark purple/gray lining on it. I think

[@maejr]

He gray armor silver under suit black

[@libre2726]

Might as well say he's frickin lime green at this point... 😒

[@Sgt-Wolf]

@@libre2726 No he's hot pink.

[@MonkeysxMoo]

For those curious as to why this set is such a big deal, let me add some time stamps: The last time we got two Hunters in the same set was EVA's Last Stand, a set that came out in 2011. The last time we got a normal, green Warthog was in 2012 with the Warthog Resistance set. The closest we've had to a green Warthog was the flame Warthog set from 2014 The last time we saw the Mk VI Chief and gold Arbiter release was with Halo Heroes 5, which came out not too long ago in 2017, but it saw a very limited release leading to the figures becoming very rare and hard to obtain for many fans. Fans have been asking for all three of these for years and this set brings all them all together in a $30 Warthog set, a type of set that has never had any issues with distribution (at least in North America) because the Warthog is such an iconic Halo vehicle so of course stores will stock it.

[@Mega-Brick]

This is also the first set to feature the new, highly-articulated Hunters in standard color. The only other new Hunter was an Ultra, and the color-scheme matched.

[@Grievous-uh6iv]

Rhas 'Churol Yeah the classic blue Hunters

[@Quillian]

I got 3 of them on Amazon for $16, sadly tho they just upped the price sooo... but still, it’s a great set overall, but if it had one of those working winches, I think it would make a bit of a difference but it’s still a great set without it

I'm glad jang understands some history and gun stuff.

[@tristanr7581]

Me seeing that Jang does Mega construx too: A suprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@k.bermejo7334]

Amazing set. It's very simple, yet it gives us absolutely desirable classic Arby and the Chief figures and a great Warthog build. Wished Chief had some black outline around his visor, and Arby's armor color was more accurate though; that would've made the set practically perfect, but that's just a nitpick. The inclusion of a pair of classic Hunters in the modern armor system is a great additon as well. PS: You should've compared this set to the Halo 5 Warthog Attack set, and the PAX exclusive one that are very much just like this set though.

[@dylm8689]

Arby’s armor is golden if thats what you mean, but Yeah over all this set is great

[@radmirhima9563]

Yeah, the Arbiter's armour is actually golden. It usually looks silver, due to lighting.

[@Plooooof]

@@dylm8689 in the game his armor is silver but all through lore it's a bronze color with a weird silver look to it so if it's meant to be game accurate it should be silver

[@urfavalaina5363]

Yes

[@tomasudizzle6100]

Read desc. "Hunters, in human/n00b speak" Thank you Jang, that made my day

[@JedRobby]

I just got this yesterday and i really felt like i was building an old halo set, but with the new quality bricks. It was fantastic

[@shoppingcart1505]

I remember getting the crashed warthog set a LONG time ago, I loved that set and eventually over time it got lost and destroyed, I still have one of the OG hunters, and it is definitely one of my most prized halo items

[@RoboGuy2K]

I'm glad they revisted this, the only one I had was the initial Halo Wars run Warthog and that was back when Mega Bloks had huge quality issues and would fall apart while being built.

[@itsmemories]

Thank you so much for making these videos your videos help me make my decisions on if I should buy that set thank you for making these reviews!

[@jeremiah3355]

this is why I love Mega Construx.

[@gamingcenter360]

Thank you for making this video Jang! Really missed your halo videos. Hoping you’ll do another room 117 videos soon?🤞🏻

[@a1pher]

Finally a Halo MegaConstrux review!! And what a set, so pretty.

[@veryyes1919]

I always saw the Arbiter as very dark grey, so when I started seeing merch of him having silver armor and bronze I was kind of confused thinking maybe I missed something.

[@basicproductionz816]

Very Yes you’re not wrong, he’s gray but with lighting he looks more gold. When you play as the Arbiter in halo, when you look down the armor on his legs is a gray/ silver color and when you jump you can see even more of his armor.

[@timabata3530]

Jang! You’re back! Omg I’ve missed you, it’s been too long. I’ve always felt that your reviews were almost a part of the set. The packaging, the build and the set itself, and Jang’s video review of the final product. It doesn’t feel right to me when a new set releases and there’s no review from Jang :’( Lol anyway. Great review. Love that you mentioned EVA’s Last Stand and it’s 2 Hunters, as that was actually my very first set alllll those years ago that got me started down this rabbit hole. Also I just happen to be building this set right now as I saw that you posted this (notifications rarely work on my junky phone). I’m so excited to see another a Halo review, and I’m sooo hoping you’ll soon get to the other new sets. And other very slightly older new sets. The Infinity yeah (ridiculously cheap on Amazon, wow) but the one I’ve been waiting months for, the Frostraven!

[@macgyverbrown6803]

This review came in just in time for me! I ordered it yesterday off of amazon

[@MajatekYT]

Oh MAN have I been waiting for this. I thought about hodge-podging a few older Mega-brand Warthogs to make the perfect chaingun 'Hog... And then this shows up. MY NEED HAS NEVER BEEN GREATER. Thanks for the great review!

[@Mega-Brick]

Looking forward to getting this. I missed my chance to get the MC and Arbiter figures from the Halo Heroes line, and I only have the one new Hunter they released (and it's an Ultra), so it'll be good to get a pair of standard Hunters. The warthog's just a bonus. And yes, the Arbiter looks gold in Halo 3. He's not supposed to, but he does. All official merchandise proves this.

[@Wortwort-Spooderbat]

I completely agree this is one of the best sets ever

[@kronklybutcooler]

Its supposed to be the final part of Halo from halo 3 but the put hunters when they could’ve given us FLOOD.

[@basicproductionz816]

Angry Cactus but if they have ya flood that would have required new molds, I do agree that it was a missed opportunity but since it is tenth anniversary they may be wanting to release new flood figures in a remake of one of the older sets that has flood.

[@Grievous-uh6iv]

Angry Cactus Yeah, flood tank forms would’ve been great. But I prefer the Hunters since I already own the tank forms

[@h.h.quincy8851]

The BAM at the end made me jump out of my seat.

[@jolemaire6629]

finaly some mega bloks / construx review again!

[@timabata3530]

This warthog has definitely grown on me. I liked it at first and all, but the more I see it sitting on my dresser as I pass by, the more I like it. I just wish it had the suspension system of the previous hog, the Security Patrol warthog. I like that it has the “droop” but wish it also kept the independent “spring” suspension pieces too. I think Jang mentioned during that review that he felt that was their best suspension system and I totally agree, I can’t figure out why Mega keeps changing it. I’m no designer of course but it really seems a minor thing to incorporate those 4 spring clips and a peg or other piece above for them to push against.

[@somerandomreachfan8579]

There is hope! The megablocks/construx revolution against the legos is beginning!

[@burntbricks5425]

some random reach fan no revolution needed mega keeps making more adult themes and LEGO makes more kid friendly ones

[@opera1love674]

Burnt Bricks "Reach fan" hahaha 😂

[@CouragSomeone]

The what?

[@crashbash8549]

If you look at arbiters model in a model viewer, he's definitely silver, the lighting effects in halo 3 make it appear as if it's bronze or gold but it's definitely silver

[@crow6226]

Thanks for the review and information. I appreciate it. I had not known this existed and now have something to look forward to getting. This is such a great set.

[@ryatt9365]

I wish they'd use the Halo Legends figure legs and forearms for the Halo 3 Spartan figures. Those look a lot more accurate.

[@nickowens4780]

They know they can, they just haven't yet.

[@commanderwyro4204]

i remember when i first saw the halo wars megablok hornet. got 2 of those and played with them all the time. and than the first warthog model, pelican, banshees. those were the days

[@joshfisher374]

The fact that the under arm of the forarm on the arbiter matches the under arm of the bicep and the gold matched the gold makes it look that much better

[@astrophxx4371]

Welcome back jang to halo mega bloks

[@ebomb1133]

A jang MCX review? That's as rare as finding a set in stores. JK seriously great review though! I love this set for so many reasons. That classic green metallic warthog, twin hunters in blue, chief with a gold flamethrower, a classic ARBITER figure that I missed bc heroes series 5 never released in my area, and severe amounts of nostalgia for halo 3 and my first ever mega set EVA's Last stand. Great review as always jang! Any chance we will see the sparrowhawk and banshee?

[@kesselsauer4441]

Halo, this is one of the best Mega Construx Halo sets ever. *BAM!*

[@merc4733]

I was checking your channel to see if you've done a review on this set a few days ago, and here it is!

[@MVJORV]

I had a set with Master Chief and Arby in it, but it was when Halo 5 came out. I got another warthog with those random Spartans with the bee on their armor.

[@magmorix3883]

I feel like a somewhat unsaturated dark brown color would be ideal for the Sangheli

[@The-Rowller]

*BAM* We need another warthog comparison

[@ricardomartinez8430]

The only set I’ll pick up ever since they changed from mega bloks to mega constructs.

[@muto_112]

That intro is a legendary entrance 😂😂😂

I wish I had the funds to get a bunch of these when they were still available Nothing beats a bungie style worthog

[@HeavyMetalDriver666]

Mega Blocks has some really nice color going on. Better than any color job I have seen on any Lego piece.

[@Plooooof]

When the Wasp set came out I was disappointed that it only had one hunter. Not because it's just one but because of how cool it looked with it's silver armor

[@kiwisark8055]

Yesss!! Time to start picking up Mega Constructs again!

[@nameunknown1412]

I need these, I’m going to buy all of theses especially if they remake that delicious original pelican....

[@CMTechnica]

Only time Arbiter is *cannonically* gold/ bronze, whatever, is Halo 5. They imported his model from 2 into 3, creating the texture clash that’s only been fixed by 343 out of game in a cannon fodder post on Waypoint. He’s silver. End of discussion.

[@arandomelite5448]

Wrong he's a dull grey.

Hello, CQB lover

[@Connorjoyce0254]

I’m surprised you didn’t show the warthog tribute in the instructions. Also, I hope the Aeriel ambush set is next!

[@TFanPage101]

I feel like this is a celebration of not only the first, but many Warthog sets. The two smaller figures seem to nod the black and gold Warthogs before that featured a Sparta/Master Chief and Arbiter, EVA's Last Stand with the two Hunters, and of course, the original set.

[@ashdoll217]

I don't know much about in-between Halo 2 and 3 stuff, but is he supposed to be wearing different armour in 3 than he was in 2?

[@Mega-Brick]

No. It's the same armor. Apparently there was some texture issue that Bungie didn't fix that made his armor look more gold than silver.

[@quigonsbebygones3463]

Agreed on the Arbiter's colour. It's a bronze-gold sort. Just wish these were more widely available where I live in Canada!

First time that I actually want to buy something other than Lego ^^ Now it needs to be available where I live... Nice review!

Last time I bought mega blocks was 2015 but i definitely need to get this for this collection just for nostalgic reasons

[@barkingapollo]

I haven’t liked a Halo Megabloks set in awhile. Feels like all I’ve seen on shelves was stuff from Halo Wars, something I don’t care about. Also a lot of non-canonical looking ‘fireteams’ and stuff. This is such a classic, perfect looking set. Eying quite a few of these 10th Anniversary sets...

[@barkingapollo]

[@lincoln3310]

Recently I’ve not been keeping up with getting the sets or figures, etc. but this is something I really couldn’t resist ordering because Halo 3 is my favorite one and this set is indeed everything a halo fan would want.

Sadly, even here in the US I'm having little luck in any store that wasn't Toys R Us. Target *used* to stock them pretty well, and Walmart seems to slowly be getting rid of them. You would think Gamestop would be an option, but the ones I've seen only stock Destiny sets. I'm not sure if there even _are_ any other big retailers that would sell them, at least in the US.

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

I love it! Chief is missing the (now signature) "damage" mark on his chest plate. I always thought arbiter's armor in Halo 2 and 3 was silver.

[@andrewmccullough2159]

In Halo 2 I'm fairly certain he was silver, but it switched to gold in Halo 3.

[@Sangheili_Rawr]

It’s silver in both, it appears gold because of the lighting in Halo 3.
