HALO Falcon Review: MegaBloks for LEGO Fans

[bioniclemasterful]

can lego minifigs drive the copper

[LegoMovieMan44]

megabloks bricks fit badly.

[BeanMeister22]

@LegoMovieMan44 I have read a couple of your comments, and obviously you do not know what you are talking about. It's ok if you like LEGO best, we all do, but there is no reason for you to make negative comments against other brick companies, when you lack the experience with them to know. MegaBloks Halo and ProBuilder series is a higher quality brick. Most of these other brick companies make sets that LEGO will not make, and they do it for a lot less money, with only slightly less quality.

[megalegostarwarsdude]

@BeanMeister22 i like both and hes right

[nightmarevalkyrie]

@beanmeister22 thanks for the quick reply that's worth this subscription compared to the other people who do reviews and don't respond to me

[BeanMeister22]

@nightmarevalkyrie I try to response to all questions, and I do read every comment I get; but sometimes it takes awhile for me to do it.

[nightmarevalkyrie]

How much does this cost in target 20 or 30$

[BeanMeister22]

@nightmarevalkyrie I have not seen it at Target yet, but where I have seen it is seems to be priced between $45 and $58.

[WORRO01]

Oh my,, I wont show this to Johnboy lol.... he loves the Halo stuff thanks to Uncle Jim haha

Salute!

[BeanMeister22]

@WORRO01 Yeah, the Halo stuff is really cool, and it is a lot less expensive than the LEGO stuff. Maybe someday LEGO will start making cool military sets, but even if they do, they will cost a lot more than MegaBloks sets.

[formulaonehotwheel]

I really like it. This is so cool!

[minifigureproduction]

I ran out of space last comment anyway I think you should check out BAN-DAI's Mobile Suit Gundam series they are snap together model kits if you do decide to check them out I reccomend the ,00 Quanta(00 Qan[T] as others callit) or the RX-78-2 'GUNDAM' please respond to these comments I have made you are epic-----

minifigureproduction

[minifigureproduction]

To be honest with you beanmeister I despise companies who are to damn lazy to create their own majour franchise (like lego or bandai's mobile suit gundam model kits) why rip of soeone elses brilliant idea when you could start your own thing?the only thing related to lego i have built recently is some character building drwho(Ithink you should check that out by the way) an I have a kreo bumblebee to build i wouldnt normally by these but they were christmas presents(ran out of space)

[villagomezfarms]

if lego made it it would cost twice has much >.<

[BeanMeister22]

@villagomezfarms At least twice as much, probably even more than that.

[FloodFire101]

Good build! I could tell you that the pelican took very long to build about 3 hours straight!

[BeanMeister22]

@FloodFire101 Thanks, I just bought a Pelican, but I have not had the time yet to put it together.

[stubryanfull]

im the 666 veiwer . shit!

[leokimvideo]

@stubryanfull well i'm seeing the iron maiden song 'number of the beast' in the related video are now, so whats going on

is mega bloks Halo the devil brick?

[stubryanfull]

@leokimvideo yes

[7MattCox]

Why is this on someone else's channel?

[BeanMeister22]

@7MattCox Because the secrets to succeeding here on YouTube, is to unselfishly feature other people's videos instead of your own, and to have good friends who help you without ever having to ask them.

[leokimvideo]

@7MattCox a very simple thing to do on the tube is help others, believe me the returns to you can be very powerful stuff on these very selfish networks

[thisiswhatshesaid]

Probably fake

[BeanMeister22]

@thisiswhatshesaid Fake? What's fake here?

[legonut5543]

yep it is

[mastergardner1234]

F**k. It's Halo?

[leokimvideo]

@mastergardner1234 to spell that word you need E as well, now thats a fail

[crazygruntproduction]

Lego fans, I to am a Lego fan (ninjago) but I also love megablocks has a lot more detail aka (the camo bricks) but Lego can clip on easy but megablocks kinda lacks it in my opinion I think this rivalry is a bit over rate I like both brick brands

[SRGTHALO]

falcon=blackhawk osprey=pelican/ unless lego comes out with better sets in my opinion mega bloks has surpassed lego in all but parts quality.

[BeanMeister22]

@SRGTHALO Maybe, but even though the body of the Falcon looks about the same as a Blackhawk, I think the twin rotors on a wing like structure puts it into the Osprey category. I just bought a Pelican, but I have not had enough time to build it yet; even in the box it looks pretty cool. I agree, but I almost think it is less of a parts quality issue, than it is a design issue. The use of thin flat plates always makes it difficult to get a tight fit, regardless of which company makes the bricks.

[mrvampirepuppet]

goodisH?

[tattycape717]

awsome set for christmas

[hulkcp]

have you ever played halo before?

[BeanMeister22]

@hulkcp No I do not play Halo; I play Borderlands and COD. I am not against playing Halo, I just do not have any extra time to start playing a new game. But with that said, I do think Halo is pretty cool, and if I had more time I would play it.

[legomaster1378]

Iw ill say that these newer Halo sets a peretty cool, but they are still not up to par with lego.

[Transformer2055]

this is sooo cool!

[ri769]

i just clicked on this video(thinking nothing about it)watched it its nice build and even i never play with legos...:D i give like any way:)

[BeanMeister22]

@ri769 Thanks, and if you have not looked at LEGO or MegaBloks lately, it may surprise you with some of the really cool new sets they have. I recently bought a LEGO like Aircraft carrier from BanBao, it looks fairly real, and it is about 4 feet long.

[krackapictures1]

i have never brought a mega blocks halo

[BeanMeister22]

@krackapictures1 You will find that there are really two quality categories when it comes to MegaBloks. There is the normal MegaBloks that is of ok quality, not really great, but worth the price. And then there is the MegaBloks Carbon Pro Series, and Halo Series which is top quality.

[Autobotmech]

gotta say this was informative, hadent thought about picking this one up.

[BeanMeister22]

@Autobotmech It took awhile for me feel this way, but now I am a big fan of the MegaBloks halo series and the MegaBloks Carbon Pro series; they make some pretty cools sets.

[Designandrew]

Now this is cool!

[leokimvideo]

as you say the lego kids will hate it, they hate kreo as well

i know because they leave hundreds of comments telling me they hate kreo

buy hey this looks pretty cool, lets hope lego do some better blades for their choppers and get over the no gun thing

[Chips556]

@leokimvideo  i hate kre-o

[BeanMeister22]

@leokimvideo I am still not sold on Kreo; it seems to be MegaBloks quality, but with a LEGO price tag. And I have never really understood that whole Transformer thing; and I hated the Transformer movies as they played to the lowest common denominator of viewer.

[FalamfalaFilms]

Im a bit of a perfectionist, thats why I tend to stick to one brand (that being lego).

[leokimvideo]

@FalamfalaFilms i'm a massive perfectionist and I try all sorts of stuff, and guess what some is amazingly good

i also hate getting ripped off with massive prices and thats why I try other brands, where I live lego is almost double the US retail price and that sucks really hard

[JFS1505]

@BeanMeister22 Nice, but can I ask you and I hope I'm not a bother, but where are the LEGO that we were discussing in the PMs? :)

[BeanMeister22]

@JFS1505 Has your LEGO arrived yet?

[JFS1505]

@BeanMeister22 Yes it has. On Dec. 31st. :) Thanks! :D

[LegoSchy]

@Ifairchild1112

Nope I'm not a hacker

[LegoSchy]

@Igairchild1112

Nope I'm not a hacker

[strikerbuster]

no offince dude but u pluged the machine guns on the sides in the wrong ports.

[BeanMeister22]

@strikerbuster Thanks for noticing that, I did that on purpose to see how many people would catch that. So far you are the only one who caught it yet.

[OrionCinemas]

Halo really is more suited to mega blocks than to lego but it would be cool to see a grand helecopter (with specialized pieces) made by lego. But, as long as Halo resides with mega blocks, I'm still holding out for something like this to be made by lego.

[BeanMeister22]

@OrionCinemas I just heard that LEGO is coming out with a military Chinook helicopter, a friend is sending me one. Maybe there is hope for LEGO.

[catsri7503]

wow awesome yea why is it there is always extra parts you did a fantastic job here amazing 100 thumbs up 5 stars to all HAPPY NEW YEAR TO best wishes always

[BeanMeister22]

@catsri7503 Thanks, and MegaBloks always seems to have even more extra parts than my LEGO sets do. On some of the Halo sets, MegaBloks even includes extra parts that are installed to help keep the vehicle stable when you build it, and then you remove them when you get it all built.

[msteele323]

@BeanMeister22 mega blocks always have great surprises my favorite part of Mega bloks are their choice of wheels.and their helicopter props. me i like all block building sets.

[leokimvideo]

@msteele323 not all mega bloks have good helicopter blades, look at their block squad stuff and you will see some very block styled helicopter blades

[LegoSchy]

First😁
