“Hey Mr Pilot battle droid, how’s the weather look?” - Ryans 2012 review of this set was the first Mandr vid I ever watched. Thanks Ryan for all you do!
Have this set next to my 2008 gunship. Parents came in clutch back to back years for Christmas. Both are probably my favorite 2 sets of all time and will definitely stay that way.
i still remember the first time i saw this box stuffed in my friend’s closet….i asked where it was and he shrugged his shoulders, said “I took the figures out and threw the rest of the pieces back in the box.” Looking in said box was just some loose pieces and bags 3 & 5…i was so jealous of kids like that. was my dream set then and probably always will be cuz $100 to me when I was that young was basically what it actually cost now.
So happy I managed to get mine for $150 on ebay used, but in mint condition. Now LEGO just needs to make a UCS version with twice the amount of droids.
I remember back in 2010 when I was living in an apartment with my step family, this was all I wanted. I wanted this set for so many years and I remember my parents telling me it was to expensive. Honestly I blame that build me up butter cup assembly video that was made for this set, if anyone knows what I’m talking about I’m proud of you.
I used to watch that video religiously like a decade ago, it's how I found that song and the band and I was so obsessed with the set but never got it, I'm thinking about finally ordering it after all this time
I remember saving up as a kid, going to Legoland and buying this set on the way out. My parents were confused why I wanted this one specifically but I remember that I went straight to it and picked it up. Such an amazing set
It’s still my favorite Lego set so glad 11 year old me convinced my parents to get it for me in 07. That Advertisement definitely worked on me too I still get chills listening to it today sadly we won’t ever gets advertisements like that ever again
This set is just proof battle droid are the best “ At least we don’t release giant transports big enough of only one spot for a mini figure, looking at you 2013 clone trooper atte"
Best lego set of all time for me! My mom bought it for me the second year we move to Shanghai when I was a kid, and you have no idea how much it meant for me! Absolute GOAT.
I dreamed of getting this set for years and years. Finally bought one used in 2019 along with two old AATs based off Episode I. It was the AAT from either year 1999 or 2000. I had to sell it later due to financial constraints but i fulfilled the dream i had of owning a complete 7662. Good times.
Great video. I am a new fan of your channel and I love your vibe. Also, I can't tell the difference between the two Bottega bags, the kislux is close and cute, so that's enough for me. I will bring my friends to buy.
Imagine having all the best Star Wars building kits and your cousins broke them all and they ended up just being a bit pile of pieces in a bin. This video really healed that.
Remember seeing this on display in my local Lego store back in 07. I was only 5-6 years old at the time but man this set would have been amazing to own. Definitely wouldn’t have lasted this long though haha
Thank you so much for the review of the MTT. Love your channel. Keep it up, you are our eyes and ears when it comes to LEGO Star Wars. Is there a chance in the future of this MTT going head to head with the other MTT releases? 😉
I remember going to Toys-R-Us when I was like 8 years old to get this for my birthday. I even remember it was a dark, cold and rainy morning. I still have it to this day 100% complete except the box and instructions got destroyed along the way
Ryan, I'm so happy you did this review, I had this set among a bunch of other Legos but this was definitely my favorite as a child and I lost my entire Lego collection in a move that I didn't realize as a little kid was an eviction and so everything😮 that was left behind was left for good so that was tragic. Cool to watch this video. I might buy a fake brick built version of the MTT just to have something similar because it is a really cool vehicle and the Lego one is just too damn expensive 😅🤘🏻
I remember paying $270 for one of these in a beat up but sealed box on bricklink in like 2010 thinking that was way to much money. Now I wish I got one more. Not my favorite lego set, but may be my favorite playset of all time
I had one that I loved when I was a kid, but I accidentally dropped it (in an ill advised attempt to swoosh it) and it went absolutely nuclear when it hit the floor. We searched everything top to bottom and still couldn’t find all the pieces. So I took what was left with it and turned it into an open top droid base that I could pick up and bring to friends houses when we had LEGO wars. Still pretty bummed about loosing that beast, but at least I still got to have some good fun with it
So thankful my parent bought me this when I was 9, they didn't often buy lego sets (jealous of your childhood) as I've only got a handful I've been able to hold onto. Can't believe they tried convincing me to get 'rid' of my old sets bc I don't play with them anymore. Anyway its an amazing feeling knowing I own a top 5 GOAT sets lol
The best MTT and I am so happy my dad bought me that during the release. Sadly my child self destroyed that box and disassembled the entire thing in a fit of rage and scattered it in 10 different boxes 1 day I get to rebuilding it ^^
Do it man, Just done mine took about 3 days finding it piece by piece. Still got some pieces the wrong colour because I couldn't find them but I've ordered some.
BRUH THE MEMORIES I REMEMBER LOOKING THROUGH MY LEGO CATALOGS AND CHOOSING WHAT I WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS AND MY BIRTHDAY AND THIS WAS THE SET I WANTED SO BADLY BUT NEVER GOT BECAUSE THE WAVE ENDED BEFORE DECEMBER
6:50 I think the cannons are done like that to give the illusion that it's shooting as Star Wars cannons usually do this back and forward movement when they shoot
I painstakingly pieced this set together about 6 months ago, and let me tell you once I discovered that the battle droids I was getting had the wrong torso variant from what the set includes I went way down the rabbit hole to finish the set right. Side note, getting all the wrong battle droids allowed me to start a side project battle droid army.. I do think this is one of the best lego star wars sets ever, I would've loved this when it came out if I wasn't going through a dark age.
I remember being so sad my parents didn't get me this when I saw it displayed at Toys-R-Us and i'm still salty. This really was the best version of the set imo and so awesome for army building.
I remember saving up for this set. The manuals got shredded by time and I don’t have the box but I’m trying to rebuild it again. I’ve got all my Lego parts and I’m doing my best to sort them into the different sets. Surprisingly I don’t think I have any broken pieces from the MTT itself. Just broken droid hands and a tooth mark here and there.
If they ever made another MTT, I'd like to see them do it in CIS blue and gray colors. That would be something we haven't seen before in Lego. And of course being back the 20 droids and please a good droideka.
Best set ever, lego battle droids always were my favourite. Especially the mtt… would love to see some more sets with commando droids or vehichles that hold the droids like the mtt.
It is a shame that I was not collecting back then. This kind of set if redone, would not come with 20 battle droids. That is a shame. I would love to have one of these for my collection but I would not spend the money to get one of these now in box. Great review!
I'm surprised you didn't mention the two different color brown bricks in this set. Being from 2007, the year Lego switched to brittle brown, this set was on shelves during the transition and it was common for it to receive both the new and old bricks leading to faint color variations in the brown bricks included.
Love how they took the time to "engineer" every small aspect of the Lego set. How a lot of stuff is modular, how you get 20 droids in 1 set! These days only the droids will be 100usd....
I really hope they remake this, at this scale, with the same features and number of droids, very soon. Probably asking for more than what LEGO will do, but you can hope. They could definitely add some improvements to the build with updated techniques but hopefully not lose the features.
An MTT is high up on my list of sets that really need a new version. Ideally it would be a Phantom Menace version (but a Clone Wars blue and grey one would work) with lots of Battle Droids and a few Gungan soldiers, maybe with a Boss Nass figure if we’re lucky.
I still remember getting this set back in 2007 and thinking it was absolutely amazing. I wish Lego would make a five to $700 UCS version with 100 battle droids!
If they release a new one today it would be $200 with 5 battle droids and a lone Security Droid (they’d call it a pilot) and there would be a $35 battle pack with 5 more droids released at the same time
The megaphone blaster is the Classic Lego star wars Blaster. (and no I am not talking about old Lego Star wars sets, I am talking about the Lego Star wars games)
I want a remake of this set. I’ve wanted one for years. I would buy it for $300 even if it was the same size AS LONG AS IT HAD AT LEAST 20 BATTLE DROIDS
I've owned this set since it's original run and I NEVER realized the grey plated sections (gun rack, droid rack, etc.) were meant to be interchangeable. I feel like such a fool, lol.
As I’m building new sets these days I can still respect the engineer’s work and ideas they put into making the sets but there’s not much in the way of interchangeable parts presently. It’s crazy how much they’ve stopped putting as much effort into things 9:56
Best set ever imo. If I could afford it I'd get it. Like you said, I hope they bring out a UCS version or at least a new release so I can get my hands on a proper MTT set. As it is I've had to do the 2x CIS tank set conversion to MTT MOC to have my own to play with. (actually might've learnt about it on this channel iirc) I live in hope 🤞
i’m chilling here on a friday weening off a wicked Hallowhangover with a retro star wars review. Thank you Ryan for all you do for me
Read that as hallowangover
@@thetallgrass😂
Agreed. Just got home from school chilling with Halloween candy and hot spiced cider, next to the fire. 😊
One of my dream sets...
if you ever find it for a good deal or even market, go for it i got mine used 100 percent complete for just 225
It'll never let you down
@@EBLegoBro😂
This and 7163 are the best two sets I own.
Nice pfp! 😂
If they make another one, they have to do it right. 20 Battle Droids MINIMUM!
No chance they do that
They’ll probably give us 10 and say it’s an extra $40
I’m hoping they keep it the same price and stop OVERPRICING ALL THE SETS
They don't really have trouble with battle droids. They could probably include 20 realistically
@@StarWarsiscool2that’s Disney for ya
The Malevolence review is long overdue. Most would probably agree.

It's been 12 days since we've seen an upload...excited to see what content we get when he returns
Great choice for review. Another step closer to your thorough and polished review of every Lego Star Wars set
What are the odds that specific amount, shape, and color of plastic inside of that large piece of cardboard would be worth so much 🤯🤯🤯
THIS was the best set I owned as a kid. We couldn’t afford a lot of sets, but this one was a ready-made army for me to play with. So much fun.
1:19 He has the thumbnail, stoked for star destroyer reviews and comparisons!

I get that song stuck in my head often, i also first listened to it in that video lol
I built this set listening to that video back in the day!
@@_trublu_2307get the aliexpress version, instead of 1000 bucks u pay 70 euro’s and it still is a fine set (i have 2 and love em)
I remember that video! I never had the set but I would watch that video all the time as a kid.
I got it for christmas when i was younger and it was the coolest lego set i ever owned
Agreeing with your 2009 self is TIGHT!!!

Well done sir 👍
The straight arm battle droid arms were invented for the Summer 2007 Castle Skeletons.
This is in my top 5 Lego sets ever.

I get the feeling that Lego will never top this MTT ever.
I begged my mom for this in 2007 (when I was 9)! When I finally got it for Christmas I think i shed a tear. Good times!!

Where is Mandrproductions? He hasn't posted or vlogged in like 2 weeks?
Ever Since I Was A 14 Year Old 7 Years Ago I Used To Love Reviewing The LEGO Star Wars Trade Federation MTT Released Back In 2007!
Great video. I am a new fan of your channel and I love your vibe. Also, I can't tell the difference between the two Bottega bags, the kislux is close and cute, so that's enough for me. I will bring my friends to buy.
this was my first Lego set that I fell in love
One of the best sets, glad MandRproductions prioritized this set for a new review over others
This was the first lego starwars set my parents bought me and to this day is still my favorite. I love it so much

Thank you so much for the review of the MTT. Love your channel. Keep it up, you are our eyes and ears when it comes to LEGO Star Wars.
Is there a chance in the future of this MTT going head to head with the other MTT releases? 😉
The fact that it also did not come with any named characters made this one giant battlepack.
I remember going to Toys-R-Us when I was like 8 years old to get this for my birthday. I even remember it was a dark, cold and rainy morning. I still have it to this day 100% complete except the box and instructions got destroyed along the way

Easy greatest playset of all time for me. It just ticks every box. Love this design era for Lego sets too.

The vlog 5 months ago “making final preparations to seek every Lego Star Wars set on Whatnot” is this the same MTT u built¿
This having 20 Battle Droids is like the equivalent of pretty much anything including batteries

Best set ever. Displayable, playable, 21 figures and one of the best priced sets ever
I hate that companies like Lego and Hasbro are scared to make big villian sets. We need more stuff like this, the heroes need something to fight!!
It is a shame that I was not collecting back then. This kind of set if redone, would not come with 20 battle droids. That is a shame. I would love to have one of these for my collection but I would not spend the money to get one of these now in box. Great review!
If you were a Lego fan in 2007, this set was like seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Like things would never be the same lol.
This was one of the first lego star wars my parent gave me. Felt so sad when i lost it while changing house like 5 time 😢

I refuse to do anything to mine until they make a better version, which they haven't yet. It's such a great kit and still looks great.
Ah yes, a diamond of my collection, love to play with it.
An MTT is high up on my list of sets that really need a new version. Ideally it would be a Phantom Menace version (but a Clone Wars blue and grey one would work) with lots of Battle Droids and a few Gungan soldiers, maybe with a Boss Nass figure if we’re lucky.
What a deep thought set! Fantastic! This rises the question, why modern SW sets tend to be lacking features and wow effects (e.g. Dropship).
best lego set from my childhood, so good i needed to buy it again from temu!
Hope one day they'll make this set in gray and blue colors
nice video keep up the good work hope to see more like it in the future
my grandmother got me this when i was 7, and regrettably never finished it before is dissipated into the bin
I still remember getting this set back in 2007 and thinking it was absolutely amazing. I wish Lego would make a five to $700 UCS version with 100 battle droids!
Not necessery play set is enough a UCS MTT would look bad for display just like the landspeeder
If they release a new one today it would be $200 with 5 battle droids and a lone Security Droid (they’d call it a pilot) and there would be a $35 battle pack with 5 more droids released at the same time
Please we need the comparison video of this and the play scale Star destroyer.

My favorite droideka is the one from the 2015 Naboo starfighter. I think it’s the most accurate one.
I love this, i literally was asking for this back in January, I know my account hasn’t existed that long but it was on another account
The GOAT of Prequel sets!
This set is just so legendary! LEGO, capitalize on this set! We literally had TPM’s anniversary and no MTT! Someone save us!
As I’m building new sets these days I can still respect the engineer’s work and ideas they put into making the sets but there’s not much in the way of interchangeable parts presently. It’s crazy how much they’ve stopped putting as much effort into things 9:56
That droideka is massive lol
And incredibly flimsy. Still have my set to this day, and Droideka arms just want to come off every time I adjust them.
"A surprise review to be sure, but a welcome one"
These are the 1st SW001c with no lego emboss on chest or front hips ✅️
I wonder if they will change the droid arms back to bending. Keep the hands vertical to hold the blaster. I think that would look better.
This was my first lego set and what started it all!
Will you please please come to Dallas, TX ❤, I'll take you to all the Lego stores
Best set ever imo. If I could afford it I'd get it. Like you said, I hope they bring out a UCS version or at least a new release so I can get my hands on a proper MTT set.
As it is I've had to do the 2x CIS tank set conversion to MTT MOC to have my own to play with. (actually might've learnt about it on this channel iirc)
I live in hope 🤞
One of my favorite sets I own
My fantasy land is literally just the blank sky and grass from this era of LEGO SW.
They should've remade the MTT this year
