One of the many perks of buy MCX from both eBay and Amazon is that you can buy a whole set if you want the set, but you can also buy the individual figures from the set. Case in point, I have three more Arbiters on the way (one is the Ripa figure, though). I was also going to buy another Sierra Marine, but I decided on grabbing another one of the new style SMGs instead (which was the same price for some reason).
One of the Arbiters will be painted into a custom Ripa 'Moramee (so I can have an official and a custom) and when all is said and done, I will have six Halo 3 style Arbiters in total. The only version of the figure I am missing is the Heroes Series 5 Arbiter, but basically nobody has one of them (It's almost as rare as the stupid Halo Mattel Series 3 ODST figure. I still haven't been able to find and buy one of those stupid things and I have been looking for almost two years now!).
Also arriving soon are the eight Halo 2 Marines I bought, which came to a post office about a hour from my house before accidentally being shipped out to another state (and then to another state after that). Maybe those poor little guys will make it to their new home soon. They will actually end up being my second smallest non-405th 16 POA Marine squad, only having two more members than my unit of Hellbringers and Flame Marines. Joint Task Force Sierra is the largest, with 16 member figures. My non-405th ODST (so about a third of all my ODST figures LOL) and my Halo 3 Marine squad are tied for second, both having nine figures each. The number of the Halo 3 Marines may or may not be subject to change though . . .
Going to fully show off the newest Arbiter tomorrow (maybe).
