Mrtankengine Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I ordered a set as well the other day. I should get them today. I've had enough of the Active camo figures already. A slightly different blue elite was just lazy. I don't mind more spartans, but I'd like to see some more interesting colors and armors. Minimates seem like a great format for a red vs blue capture the flag set. The Reach figures have great details, and the marine is one of my favorite minimates of all time, yet this line does seem a little boring. I am really looking forward to the two new Warthogs though. I really wish they would make enough red and blue spartans to fill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they would make enough red and blue spartans to fill them. I got my Wave 2 set and would have to agree that DST is making this line boring. Where are the red/orange/yellow spartans? Hayabussa armor? ODST? ONI? Cortana? Also, the lack of variety in the weapons is frustrating. Jun is a sniper and does he come with his sniper rifle?? Nope. Thankfully Brickarms weapons are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Dang, you just answered my question. How could they not do a sniper rifle for Jun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Dang, you just answered my question. How could they not do a sniper rifle for Jun? I'm guessing it's due to budgeting issues for the wave, however this is the same company that shows the correct "gold" color on the spartan visors in all promo pictures and prototype displays but then the final product is the wrong color.

gambitron Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Got the new TRU wave at my TRU today but I only picked up the Blue Spartan and the Arbiter (active camo) These look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I was just saying Jun should have come with a sniper rifle (his signature weapon in Reach) instead of a regular rifle. Bucky comes with one that works pretty well in a pinch, although it's still a bit short-feeling for a sniper rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 I highly recommend the LEGO Brickarms HCSR for Jun's sniper rifle. I believe it is based on the sniper rifle design from Halo. Also, it's in scale with minimates and all you need to do is trim down the handle so it fits in a minimate hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bored with all the plain assault rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 The Warthog with missile launcher is in-stock here. It's nice to have one more Minimate item added to the list of things to buy right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Magnus Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Time for a new Halo vehicle, DST! Only if they can top the Warthog. Easily the best Minimate vehicle produced thus far. I do like that they've dropped their claim that it can accomodate 6 figures, though. Edited June 6, 2011 by God Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storm 1:08 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bring on the Banshee, Wraith, or Mongoose! Oh yeah, and the Ghost!!! I thought I was on a Marvel thread for a second. I'm a sucker for translucent figures. And I really like that Carter and Kat pack. Is Kat a girl? With one arm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The Warthog with missile launcher is already sold out on TRU.com. Mine should be in today's mail and I'll try and get pics up tonight (although it's going to look a lot like the others I'm sure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHOOT how did I miss that this was available to order...I don't care for the Halo mates but I love these vehicles and they are a big addition to my collection!
