buttheadsmate Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 The playscape is a disappointment especially as I paid top whack for it when it came out,it lacks paint & detail & is very bland. I'll build it back up perhaps & show you but there is little to get excited about. It would benefit from a small amount of paint/customising I guess but I'm a lazy sod & it is unlikely to happen anytime soon. I was swayed into buying it from the advertising pics & TBH I have a load of cheaply-bought-off-ebay Mega Blok bases & set-ups that look magnificent with Minimates which were infinitely better value .....look out for the Mega Fire & Ice (Whatever) sets which are exceptional & all but given away on UK ebay . I'll sort a few out & show them here somewhere & you can tell me if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yung doc Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 When does the new series actually come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) When does the new series actually come out? Pretty sure boxed set 4 is coming out any week now. [begin rant] I gotta say, overall, I'm really sad how this line was handled. I was ecstatic when it was announced, but only have a warthog and about 4 or so figs in my collection. Halo has such a huge universe and has more to it than Spartan armor variants which is all I see in this line besides the occasional alien. I would have been able to bear the variants if they would have been packed with unique guns but there's only been 8 weapons made and repacked so far. I really wish they would have made another vehicle rather than 6 warthogs as well. Ghost, wraith, banshee, mongoose, scorpion all would have been amazing.

[End of rant] Sorry we had to scrap the Scorpion. We had big plans for the end of this year, but they were not to be. Do you count all of the new guns in the Noble Team vehicle sets in your tally? Pretty sure that's the only place you can get the sniper rifle and shotgun (so far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Only place to get the cool chrome shotgun, but the Spartan Scout and Jackal Major pack came with a shotgun too. Less flashy, but I like it. R.I.P. Scorpion. There shall never be a love like we could have had. Alas, what was not meant to be...

I'm gonna group the rifles and shotguns from reach with the regular versions so we got: Assault Rifle Shotgun Battle Rifle Sniper Rifle Magnum Brute Spiker Plasma Rifle Beam Rifle Sword Gravity Hammer Off by two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) This is probably a dumb thing to ask now, as it's too late, but I wonder if the ODST Rookie is going to come with the silenced SMG or suppressed Magnum. Most likely not, but still, would be awesome. And just for the record, if he DID come with either one of those (let alone both) I would absolutely buy a dozen.

DSTZach Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I dunno, Punisher, the Marksman Rifle and Tactical Shotgun are pretty different from their predecessors. So is the updated Assault Rifle. And don't forget the Heavy Machine Gun! This is probably a dumb thing to ask now, as it's too late, but I wonder if the ODST Rookie is going to come with the silenced SMG or suppressed Magnum. Most likely not, but still, would be awesome. The ODST Rookie/Hayabusa comes with a Battle Rifle and what looks like a M7S Caseless Submachine Gun. That's a Rookie weapon, right? Is that new? Pretty sure it is. Aside from Master Chief's mini Cortana, the rest of the Series is pretty standard: assault rifle, two swords and a gravity hammer. Four-pack is largely weaponless (assault rifle and mini-Cortana only). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) If it comes with an SMG, that's good enough for me. And it is new. There's no SMGs out there. So now I have to buy a whole bunch. If it doesn't have the silencer on it, that's less of a big deal. I can find a small black tube thing to glue to the end of it and make one, but I can't just make an SMG body. Thanks for the info Zach. Also, Keyes doesn't come with a pistol? Drat. Oh well, it's not like he keeps it loaded. Also really looking forward to getting Shipmaster Rtas Vadum. That guy's my favorite. Does his face have missing mandibles?

youbastards Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Halo Boxset 4 It's been a long time since Boxset 3 / TRU Wave 3, I had been a little burned out with Halo 'mates. This boxset is awesome and it makes me sad these are ending. This line has produced some truly great Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
