this is by far one of my favorite sets, this will be good for my covenant collection.

That was one of my first sets, I liked a lot 'cause in it's moment was a really good set, 2 vehicles and a pair of figures per faction, the gausshog maybe doesn't look like the videogame but that first model of the vehicle looks awesome for me, great set!

I have to be critical of this one because of the Locust and its lack of stability. It looks great and a fun build. However, on a hard, smooth surface (like a table) its unstable. The point at which the feet meet the surface is a narrow end of a triangle piece. On a hard surface, this tends to slip. Add to that, rotating joints, the locust simply collapses under its own weight.
The joints are ratcheted, no problem there, but on the end of each joint there is free rotation. That's
four points of free rotation on each leg for a total of points of 16 free rotation.

On carpet its a bit better because the slip factor is reduced but the rotating joints are still a problem.

If this design was tested prior to production, there was a big miss.

If this was redesigned to eliminate the ability of the joints rotating in the "body" of the Locust, i think this would be much more successful.

With some patience and/or modifications, the Locust is very impressive display piece, but it fails as a functioning, pose-able play piece
