That building blocks set that I had so much fun building with that final result that just blow me away.
MEGABLOCK HALO MANTIS!
I planned to just buy it for the pieces because it's over 400 tiny pieces for less than 30$. I never played any Halo games. However, I just love western style mech so I assembled the thing. Man, the joints are perfect. The final mech is solid, stable, and just awesome. The only forgivable faults I see are the feets and the torso base that are just a single blocks, and some stickers cover more than one pieces making them unusable if I ever plan to dissassembling it.
I usually dont give a fawk about minifigs, but that Halo little guy is pretty neat too.
nstead of using the clear studs for the docking bay, I used them to give that mech some decent spotlights. Because I bought the set twice for the parts, I buildt the docking bay twice to make a decent display, with just some slight mods. Also, the second minifig is inside the mech, of course.
I love that display because for me, it's not just a "Halo" display. It can be from any universe where western style mechs are used. Mechwarrior, Steel Battalion, Metal Gear, you name it.
Stay tunes for that transformable Transformers I will make with the rest of the parts!
