Deadpool Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Tsk, tsk, tsk, DST... Spartans are genetically enhanced super-soldiers like Captain America... ODST are just normal joes like Navy Seals... I think its actually a Spartan with the ODST armor, which you can use in the game's mulitplayer. He is still wearing the Spartan chestpiece, so that seems like the logical answer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ahhhh...yeah, like I said, I don't play the games, so I was just going off of the little bit of expanded universe I knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ahhhh...yeah, like I said, I don't play the games, so I was just going off of the little bit of expanded universe I knew. Which is more than I know. The extent of my knowledge for HALO is Red vs Blue. On a completely unrelated note, my clear...whoever he is, is missing one of the upper leg armor things. Went back to TRU to pick up a spare but they were sold out of half of the packs (plenty of Master Chief sets and the one with the bulky orange and brown armor guy).

groundhog7s Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I think from early reports and what people are saying/seeing that it's safe to say DST picked a winner with these. I forsee this line running a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yeah the TRU by me still has some of the MC/Arbiter and Reach packs, but maybe 6 or 7 packs from the 24 total that came in. Sold out of warthogs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Interesting to hear that the more army building style packs seem to be selling. I think this is a really good time for them, with Reach being fresh in people's minds and McFarlane having really slowed down their product.

Mrtankengine Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The active camo ODST is a Spartan. in Halo 3 multiplayer there are many different sets of armors you can customize your character with. Mark V, Mark VI, ODST, Rogue, CQB, Scout, Security, Hyabusa, EVA, Recon, and E.O.D. All armors have different helmets, but some of them do not have unique chest pieces or shoulders. The ODST, Rogue, Mark V, and Mark VI, which is the armor Master chief wears in Halo 3, all share the same shoulder and chest armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I wasn't expecting these to be so popular - I sold out of the army builder cases before they even arrived here, went to Diamond to get more, and they are also sold out!

gambitron Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 My TRU is on its FOURTH restock of these already. I see the pegs empty and then the next day they are full and then gone again within a few days and then full again. Man, these things are selling like crazy! I love my warthog and I can see why those sell so quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

link 46 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 a got my four pack today and i immediatly noticed this, The boxset was labeled with a TRU two pack nameplate. the elite holds his gun a little awkward, it seems like the hand was designed to hold a sword, other than that its a cool pack and it finally comes with a shotgun .

Cappy Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Got my series 1 set and a dump case. Seeing how varied the IM2 dump case was ( a lot of collectors got different ratios of mates per case), I thought we could see if DST got their act together with their QC. Here's the breakdown of my dump (case that is): Elite Assault armour (gold) x 1 Elite Assault (khaki) x 2 ODST (olive) x 2 CQB Spartan (cyan) x 3 Mark VI Spartan x 4 Anybody else get the same or something way off? My set matches that. and finally i now have enough master chefs to do this: Anybody care to show me how to fit six figures into a Warthog? (As promised on the packaging.)

Smashmaster12 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Anybody care to show me how to fit six figures into a Warthog? (As promised on the packaging.)

Honestly, I've tried it, and the maximum I can get is FIVE figures... I am looking at mine now and i think maybe two mates can grip the door frame side of the window and sit on the door hole.

Smashmaster12 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 How's about placing a mate on the hood TJ Hooker style? That totally works, and it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanezey Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Not sure if these are rare or anything, but the TRU in Tigard, OR is completely stocked. They have I think 4 or 6 warthogs, and the entire wave on the pegs... They'd probably sell more if they were in the video game department...

MINI_MYTE Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 With a little Krazy Glue and the day off work, I was able to get 12 HALO mates in and on my Warthog . Only problem is that they are there for good . Geez... come to think of it, I should have planned this out a little better . God I hope I get another Warthog and Dump set for Christmas .
