Mega Bloks Halo Wars UNSC Gremlin

The MegaBloks Gremlin set makes a handsome and sturdy vehicle with a big, easy to access cockpit and six rubber tires. This set is great for careful ten year olds on up.

The Gremlin is made from rectangular blocks and wedges, making it a less sophisticated model than Lego might have made, but also making it easier to rebuild as something else. The instructions are easy to follow, highlighting studs where new pieces attach.

During construction the Gremlin goes through some frail stages. There were times when I was adding pieces only a little quicker than I was knocking pieces off.

The UNSC Gremlin, as seen in Halo Wars is a fine Mega Blocks set. Here are some pros and cons to it.

Pros:
1. Very Sturdy
2. Extremely accurate to the game
3. Cool mini figs
4. Cheap

Cons:
1. Not enough figures, this set should include a spartan or something, cause 1 marine and 1 brute just isn't enough for me.
2. Not Lego quality

Overall: Great set, i would buy it again and not very difficult to build.

I'm amazed at the poor quality of the Mega Bloks products. My son purchased the Halo Gremlin and we couldn't even put it together as the parts were warped and couldn't be assembled. There doesn't seem to be any quality control. This is the last Mega Bloks product we'll ever purchase, we'll stick with Lego as the quality is far better.
