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:

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:

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... :sick: ), contains rare DB parts and most importantly..... wait for it..... it's cute. :wub:

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 :classic:

And I apologize for my english :blush:

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).
