Absolutely agree Mega has come a long way, especially since their first Halo sets in 2009. Also, I wouldnt say knock-off, I assume you think Lego itself is the original; it's also a knockoff. Check out JANGBRiCKS's video on the history of building bricks to learn some interesting stuff! :)

No, they’ve severely regressed since 2012 or so, the new armor plating they use for the minifigures ruins the flexibility and looks way to bulky, and the plastic quality hasn’t really improved since their Halo Wars sets from way back when.

I can't believe y'all actually remember the designs, I never notice the difference in the games.
This is the best looking Pelican we've ever gotten in my opinion.
As to the "one seat" thing, I'm pretty sure its supposed to be the pilot's pelican from the trailer (based on hanging chief and the pilot being included). And in that trailer we can see multiple ships. It is a troop dropship, after all. However I don't think that this compromises the set, and I think the interior is fine, but mega could've included the option to put in more seats.

Your lucky
Got the set, and let me say the quality on the plastic is A Grade or even beyond. I love the detail on each part of the ship, and the instructions really are easy to comprehend, nothing too complicated but nothing too easy. Overall this set inspired me to buy many other Mega Construx sets. The only con for me is the lack of space inside the ship, compare the space inside the Pelican gunship and then to this. Either way it's just a minor bug that can be only personal for me, the rest for me is golden
This is why Mega sent you this Pelican for free. You put so much effort into your video and it's much appreciated for both your viewers and Mega.

@@rrockstar1584 I've figured out that you need to replace the mechanism for the landing gear, and use high friction pins instead of the axle, rubber bands and beams. You'll lose out on a rather useless play function, and the trade-off is more seats, so I find it worthwhile. I bet someone has done a how-to for the exact steps to take.

If you feel that pursuing that info could in any way, shape, or form jeopordize your relation/deal with Mega, I understand and can respect your refusal to probe, I wouldn't be keen on risking free Halo mega's either.

Great review my friend! Very in depth and analytical. I honestly me tht try to pick up 2, 1 for the pelican and one for the firebase
Well, we did see many more seats in the trailer, but I can probably take seats from my Pelican Gunship if I need to. I don't think I will though as I won't display it opened up. The one change that seems necessary is the angle of the access ramp
well this is absolutely beautiful

It honestly should be much bigger. The CE Pelican had 12 seats for the Marines.
So nice to see off brand LEGO sets tackling Halo. LEGO will never do military type stuff for some reason, which is unfortunate, but these sets are near perfect. The figures are great, and the builds are good.
Really cool!

This is my first item on my christmas list, it is kind of sad there arent many seats and im almost 100% sure that the in game pelican has like at least 16 seats, this is (obviously) scaled down for figures to fit in it and so you can have play features, I would rather have more playability than something you just build for display, the weapon rack is nice, if there were 2 seats I would be happier but you would have to sacrifice the landing bar locks, overall great set, I really hope I get this set for christmas, if not I can get it for my birthday and great review

But the older Pelicans did not have printed intake grills - they were actual molds. On other parts (especially the size and the undercarriage) - definite improvements.
