Csacsa234 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 First of all I request some help from an admin, because I don't know how to make a poll! Thank you Mini MTT When I first saw this set I didn't even know that they released a new mini MTT and I fell in love with it immediately. Then ordered it from a big Lego store in Hungary and I got it today, and I saw there isn't a review here on EB so I put one together for you guys (It's my first). Now let's have a look! Basic info Set Name: Mini MTT Set Number: 30059 Release: 2012 Price: I don't know exactly, probably was sol around 4-5$ (I bought it for 2000 HUF = 9$) Number of Pieces: 51 (http://www.brickset....ry/?Set=30059-1) Minifigs: 0 The bag It's decorated with the commonly disliked Darth Maul logo with his twisted neck and fierce look. In spite I have to say that I like that logo, he is my favorite short-lived Sith warrior. Moving our eyes below we can see the MTT itself in the middle of a fight on a beautiful planet (I'm guessing it's Ryloth concerning that the grey/blue MTT's were shown there first in CW). The content of the bag Here is the pile after a little sorting I have to say that those dark blue parts are astonishing, that color is so beautiful. None of them new but the 1x1 cone can be found in only 4 sets in this color. The instructions It is very little, we don't get a book but it's not necessary for a set this small, so we have the folded sheet with both side printed on. (I'm sorry for the first page) Very fast build, Took just a few minutes with taking the pictures, but it was very enjoyable. Now have a look at the builted set: The MTT Okay here we have it. It's looks very soild and it really is, except the binoculars, somehow they tend to pop off a little easily, maybe I was unlucky and those were made of worse quality ABS... Here are some more pictures: Side Front Back Top Underwear All together Oh and don't forget the spare parts!!! Overall Parts: I think they are okay, we get some rare, very nice dark blue parts, lots of cheese slopes and other common but useful parts. Price: A bit pricey, but it's Star Wars and in Hungary everything is more expensive so if you take that into account then I assume it could be worse. Playability: There is not much, A solid transport vehicle, it can swoosh and that's all. Minifigs: As usual we don't get any. Design: Compared to the size the mini MTT is as accurate to the original as it can be, Lego did a great work designing it, although the colors seem a little mixed up on the complete set, but again, you can't make better details on a set this size. Although it lacks the sense of scale, the rear part is too wide IMO. Final thoughts I've read some comments on this set throughout the web and there were more people who disliked it than those who liked it. I'm in the latter group and I recommend this set because it looks very good, relatively cheap (if you can find it in a store, but looking at ebay prices... ), contains rare DB parts and most importantly..... wait for it..... it's cute. I hope you enjoyed this review, it was my first so I tried to point out anything that you used to read in the experienced review writer's And I apologize for my english Quote
howie28 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Nice review. We don't get sets like this in Australia. Quote
Leo604 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks for the review; as for making a poll, I think you need at least 500 posts before being able to do so. Quote
Csacsa234 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 Thank you, I didn't know that. Quote
King Aragorn Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Wonderful mini set! Thanks for the review! Quote
Debricker Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 great review, I hope i can get this set soon Quote
tfcrafter Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 great review, I hope i can get this set soon How does it compare to the old brown mtt? Quote
TheAshTree Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Great review! I am contemplating if I should be collecting Star Wars sets. Quote
Csacsa234 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 How does it compare to the old brown mtt? You see the brown one is much bigger, and has more details thanks to this. Also IMO its not so accurate, the hatch on the front is placed too high, and the MTT itself is too long (or i just got used to the new one). Quote
Studebricker Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Yah, I like the bigger MTT better. When they reduce them down further, it just looks less and less like the original vehicle, which is disappointing... Quote
BigJoe Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Dude do you know if they would ship one to the us because I've been looking for that set for years Quote
Csacsa234 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 As far as I know they deliver only in Hungary Quote
