I have been a huge lego fan for years. I am going to start out by saying that mega bloks are not lego quality. With that said, even the most devout lego enthusiast has to admit that the quality of lego products has diminished greatly in the last few year. I have especially noticed this with the star wars series. This is the first set I have put together of the halo series and I have to say I do not agree with the bashing of quality or the negative comparison to lego. This set came with an alternate instruction sheet and extra parts to give the set some extra stability (mainly with the wing section which has been talked about in a previous review, I don't think they used the amended instruction sheet). I consider these, quality wise, to be just under that of any lego space set. I have several star wars sets and you cant play with those either due to them falling apart. So to finish up, these are awesome for any collector and look very cool when put together. The mini figs are great and have several points of articulation. Another plus is that the retail price of a mega bloks set is half that of a lego set of equal piece value. Barely less quality for half the price. Sounds good to me. Plus...come on...its Halo.

This review is from: Mega Bloks Halo UNSC Hornet (Toy)

I like this toy because it can move and has a lot of stuff in it. it can open its cockpit and it can move its wings. It was hard to put together, but i stayed up late because I wanted to finish it. So I did. It was very nice packet. if you have this packet, you should look on the shield on his mask bc he was brighter than my other Halo guys, they were not light. I liked this packet, recommend getting this. T, age 6.
