Halo Mega Bloks 96853 ODST Covenant Invasion Review

Review of this big new set. It's a pretty nice set -- pretty expensive ($55 to $60), but you get 2 big vehicles out of it. The Scorpion is a definite upgrade from the old one. The Vampire is a pretty big sturdy vehicle in its own right.

I mentioned in the video that you can order replacement pieces from Mega Brands if your set does not come with some of the pieces that it needs. That website is here:

Just to answer a few questions that I always get....

1) I live in the USA. I buy these toys from Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys 'R' Us. Some of the Halo Mega Bloks sets are exclusive to one of these retailers, while others are common to all of them. I try to comment in videos where this is the case. Please WATCH and LISTEN to the videos, I can't believe how many comments I get where it's clear that you just didn't listen to what I said in the video!

2) I am an adult and I have a job. That is how I can afford these. I don't really "play" with them beyond building them and setting them up for display.

3) So far (as of January 2011) I own all of the Halo/Halo Wars Mega Bloks sets except the original UNSC Scorpion, Aerial Ambush (Hawk + Banshee), and Covenant Ghost. Most of these sets I just own 1, but a few I own multiples of.

4) No I will not sell you stuff. I do sell thing on eBay from time to time, but that's for you to search on eBay and find it.

5) The word "carbine" is most correctly pronounced to rhyme with "bean". Carbine is a word for a short rifle. It comes from the French word "carabine" which also rhymes with "bean". Look up videos for M1 Carbine, 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine, M4 Carbine.

These are all real gun guys talking about real guns... real carbines. It is pronounced "car-bean". Not all words sound exactly like they look. Some people pronounce it "car-bine" and that is ok. I am not going to correct you if you pronounce it that way, so don't try to correct me if I pronounce it the RIGHT way!

WOW. I never knew a piece could be clear AND blue at the same time. LOL anyway this is a cool review but try to kepp on topic rather that go on and on about color

[timetodie6]

burninator881 you should start playing the games that way you can do better reviews. Vampire comes out in Halo Wars. The tank is a Scorpion with the power turrent. You should focus on the vehicle it self and not a whole lot on the color.
