Rebuild instructions for those that want to give it a go 👍 s3.megabrandsmedia.com/instructions/products/rebuilds/rebuild-halo-battlescape-iii-97029-4871.pdf
I remember picking up the flood and red Ghost baseplate for clearance when the COD sets were first released. My TRU had them randomly out on a shelf for $20. I got a tan one in a haul years later but man I loved them. Such a cool concept
The good old days when Mega was on shelf and cheap 😢. Almost every single one of my scapes also came from hauls. I only ever purchased 1 brand new intentionally and that was the battlescape 3 because it has the structure and the sentinels. I also purchased it from eBay after retirement so had to pay a small premium but it’s worth it.
Finally someone shares the raw beauty of the battlescape III and it's gorgeous builds, adding the foliage was the cherry on top I was grinning from ear to ear since you showed the rebuild and it only got better from there. I never thought the enforcer from this set was large enough to lift anything like in H2 but seeing my favorite warthog in that scenario was marvelous. Thank you for sharing this with us, on my case I have only managed to get hold of 2 BS-1 sets and I really wish I had not been a lego purist when these were on shelves.
Glad you liked the video, I’ve been trying to create content like this featuring things that haven’t been done before whilst adding my own take on it. I’ve just finished another battlescape video with the VS Snowbound scape that will release in about 4 weeks, spoilers…it’s a good one 😁
12:19 funfact(s): the enforcer is capable of picking up and destroying scorpions (and wraiths) in 2 during Quarantine Zone. Also the controller sentinel in HW2's DLC Op:SpearBreaker was originally an enforcer, the units code name is still for_air_enforcer_01. Enforcers were cut from hw1.
It would be great to see a more accurately scaled version of the enforcer from MEGA in the future, one that can be connected to a new HALO 2 Scorpion and Wraith sets.
speaking of which, imagine if they made a line of sets based on the quarantine zone mission and Hw2 awakening the nightmare DLC, it could make collecting sentinels and flood a lot more easy, not to mention the great potential of sets and new minifigs that could be made out of it
I'm trying to implement one of these battlescapes into a Diorama I have been working on, but I have found it very hard to mesh the blocks themselves with the battlescape. Very cool video btw!
Watching your vids just fills me with old Nostalgia! I miss getting sets for Birthdays and Christmas back in 2010-2015. I still own a lottttta mini figs, but barely any sets. Keep up the vids! Much love
@@ArmourOfDeath I love receiving comments like this, thank you. I wasn’t really on the scene from 2009 -2015 so a lot of the content I create using older MEGA BLOKS sets is me experiencing this era of products for the first time all the years later, that’s why most of my content revolves around MEGA BLOKS as opposed to MEGA/MEGA CONSTRUX. It’s not that I don’t like what the company has produced since MEGA BLOKS days (quite the opposite in fact) I just find there is something more magical about discovering MEGAs past than just covering the latest and greatest products, I can cover these in ten years time when they too are old 😂
I loved all the Battleground ! I have like 2 maybe the 3 of them, some of them are complete, other are loose purchase so quite sure there are not compelte. But it's a really good start to create a little MOC ^^ you highlight me some cool vegetations piece, i'm always looking new sets like the Pokemon line right now, to see if there is some interesting unique piece to get, but this is really insane to see all these folliage piece on Megaverse haha As always, was a great video !
A Great review of an awesome set thanks , this is by far my own favourite battlescape set and so rare now , the sentinels in it are really good with a great colour scheme , I love the structures available also , thanks for the diorama tips , you have a terrific collection of foilage available , keep up the fine work , it is lovely to have a regular update slot
Thanks Chris, I appreciate the feedback and it’s great to hear that the regularity of the videos is being appreciated, I have content produced to see the year out now so it will continue until the end of the year on Fridays for sure. After that I’ll have to see how my work life goes, hopefully I’ll be able to continue to produce more content as I’m very much enjoying it at the moment and have plenty more ideas for future videos.
Found two of these for a good price, one complete and one just the battle scape, I used both of them for a large diorama, it’s definitely a good starting point! Great video as always!
It’s great to hear that people are still picking these battlescapes up, especially this one given how popular it is. They are often available on eBay UK (not for the best price mind) so they must have sold a lot of them back in the day.
Awesome video. I have a few battlescapes and I did not realise you could make the bigger forerunner structure. I will give it a go as I have the warthog set as well. If I can find the instructions
That’s great to hear you’re going to give it a go, always nice to build something new without having to buy something new😁 Rebuild instructions below…Enjoy👍 s3.megabrandsmedia.com/instructions/products/rebuilds/rebuild-halo-battlescape-iii-97029-4871.pdf
Ive always wanted Battlescape 3 but its just so hard to get a hold of, even compared to the other battlescapes which are already rare enough. The Enforcer alone is something that just makes me wish I could find one, its such a cool build and I wish they would rerelease it, I was hoping we'd maybe have a set with one this year due to Halo 2's anniversary. We definitely just need more Sentinels in general.
I agree, the enforcer would make a great standalone set and this year would have been an ideal opportunity for it with H2A but that said, the character pack and the potential the Gravemind set are also great choices.
@brickman1175 Yeah, still waiting to see what that Gravemind set will actually be but looking forward to it either way. An ideal H2A set for me tho would be an Enforcer with 2 Sentinels vs a Spectre and pair of metallic purple Spec Ops Elites in the new H2A mould, to match the Grunts in the character pack, maybe even include an updated Rtas figure with the correct H2A armour too.
Where did you find those foliage pieces? You may have mentioned it in your Banished AA Gun display vidéo but perhaps you can remind me - would love to get my hands on some of them for my own future displays!
Ive never seen someone actually build the alt build. Do you have a link to the instructions for it. I was never able to find them before. Want to make the very same set up of both builds. Just need an extra battlescape 3 build
Hopefully this will make you feel better about the situation. I only have 1 brand new battlescape 3 on my shelves, the other sets I showed in box being pulled from the shelves are used sets. They came as part of eBay hauls I picked up about 8 years ago when everyone was getting out of Mega in the UK due to the fact they stopped selling it there when Mattel bought MEGA. The reason I show them in the box in the video is for those that have never seen the boxes before and appreciate what the set looked like new in hand. For clarity I’ve never purchased a standalone battlescape, the reason I have so many is they always seem to come with used hauls.
@@brickman1175 yeah i see where you're coming from and it probably isn't possible to do what you use to again, but it would really be a cool thing to open an online store so you can distribute older mega to fans that didn't have that opportunity at a cheaper price so more people can do what you do. It would only make you more of an inspiration for new moc makers.
Rebuild instructions for those that want to give it a go 👍
s3.megabrandsmedia.com/instructions/products/rebuilds/rebuild-halo-battlescape-iii-97029-4871.pdf
thank you! I've been wanting these instructions for a few years!
Mega definitely needs to bring these back not only are they great for displays but I want a little Sentinel Army and having an enforcer would be great
Baseplates would work pretty well with Fallout

I remember seeing some of these in store, really regret not picking one up.
When it comes to MEGA I think everyone shares that regret. 😔
I'm trying to implement one of these battlescapes into a Diorama I have been working on, but I have found it very hard to mesh the blocks themselves with the battlescape. Very cool video btw!
@@DRlFTUR I find the best way to do it is to step it down to a single plate level then disguise the joint with foliage pieces if you have them.
I Really love the Enforcer attacking the warthog, really Nice touches with the foliage also!
Oh man idk why you dont have 117k subs already, this videos are fun, nice and always entertaining
Thank you, I appreciate that. 😊

I remember seeing this in the Sears catalog and begging for it for Christmas
I loved the build section of this video. Super satisfying to watch you place everything and explain your reasoning why, very good!
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll try to do that more often in the future when time allows 👍
Another fantastic diorama video. I too felt these base plate did not do much but after watching your video, can def see the potential!
Thanks Jon, I’ve just finished another video using the Snowbound battlescape, another surprisingly enjoyable experience. 😁

Thank you, I appreciate that, more to come. 😁

Been looking at getting more of these, Battle scape 1 makes for a great flood infected area. Wish I bought more of these back then.
Agreed, the battle scape one is great, it’s incredibly versatile.
combine them and make somthing crazy you make me want to buy these again as a adult
@@dyoungprince9734 I just finished making a video doing exactly that 😂, it should release mid December. Stay tuned…
@@brickman1175 betttt
Guess it’s time to pull out my battlescapes and start building!
Yes it is…yes it is 😂
I have this one! It is not in great condition, but stands as a support for my other sets!

I still have my snow battlescape and im very happy especially since i got a lot that had the capture the flag buidling that goes with it
Just making a video about those two sets now 😁
wow
Where did you find those foliage pieces? You may have mentioned it in your Banished AA Gun display vidéo but perhaps you can remind me - would love to get my hands on some of them for my own future displays!
Most of the foliage came direct from MEGA as part of them supporting the AA gun build, the rest I have collected over the years.
Ive never seen someone actually build the alt build. Do you have a link to the instructions for it. I was nevee able to find them before
Huh I never realized there was 4 battles scapes. I thought it was just 3. Didn’t realize there were two different ones with green grass.
Same here for a long time.

Would a battle scape be more possible to get than the Forward Unto Dawn?
@@CallsignDagger4 Absolutely, and considerably less money too.
Great baseplates. Another thing that has demised.
Correct…and sadly correct 😔
I love it very much! If you need some parts I could send them to you for free just need pictures and quantity that you need.
@@billydifranco6023 Thanks for watching the vid and thanks for the kind offer of parts, I will keep it in mind 👍
How could you leave out the sand one
The sand one?
Where have you gotten all your tree parts and foliage if you don't mind me asking?
@@matthewmichael214 most of it was supplied by MEGA as part of a collaboration a few years back.
One of the first ❤
Man maybe they are so rare because you have like 8 of them on your shelf💀 no shade tho but you did say you didn't even like them
