LEGO Star Wars 7662: Trade Federation MTT

Product Information

At least in Lego form it's a lot easier to mask scale inaccuracies, because there is no actual solid point of reference scale wise. A minifig is intrinsically a really bad estimate of the human form factor, so everything else is a lot easier to sell as "somewhat in scale". Notes: Three different lengths are commonly provided for the TIE Advanced x1. Detailed fan calculations have established that the length is nearest to the shortest of those canon measurements, which would match the design in 75150 Vader's TIE Advanced vs. A-wing Starfighter. The first ever MTT was on my list until the 2007 version, and the only reason to get it now would be for completionist means for the older sets. I could have chosen something I knew was not good by word of mouth like the latest MTT and that AT-ST, but with all the mudslinging I saw at those older sets in the AT-ST review purely because they were old (I doubt most that crapped on them actually owned them. They have some fantastic functions and utilize great innovation in my opinion.), what are we going to do with the sets we have coming out now in ten years? While I may know that the sets I listed are considered bad, I do not know firsthand why they are bad. It's easy enough to do like knowing a Transformers movie is going to be bad, but how severe? Once again, this issue can be attributed to the limited selection of colours available. Dark green pieces are ideally suited to Boba Fett's Slave I and have been used on every subsequent model of the vessel. Unfortunately, they did not appear until 2003 so the designer had to use the standard shade of green which is not at all suitable. This model also suffers from a severe scaling issue and its flaws become even more apparent when the set is compared with 7153 Jango Fett's Slave I which was released just two years later. 7257 Ultimate Lightsaber Duel

Notes: An alternative length of 9.60 metres is sometimes provided, but I find the shorter length of 6.90 metres more convincing. Viewing the onscreen vehicle and comparing the RZ-1 A-wing Interceptor with its successor, which measures 7.68 metres long and seems larger than the Rebel craft, provides compelling evidence. The significance of minifigure-scale varies dramatically between subjects. Larger starfighters such as the T-65 X-wing or TIE/sk Striker have achieved near-perfection and that is apparent simply when looking at them, without needing any calculations. Other vehicles deviate slightly from the source material, but are ideally-suited to interaction with minifigures.The Self Propelled Heavy Artillery (SPHA) walker was a modular heavy artillery unit used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. It was used at the end of Episode 2 on Geonosis. Forgot to mention last time: Thank You @CapnRex101 , for using Boba and Jango Fetts' ship's PROPER NAME...yesh, don't know what's worse: revisionist history, or the name their trying to replace it with...But I digress... The reason there is a large market of child star wars fans is because there parents are either SW fans themselves, or watched the movies as a child.

Recent discussion surrounding 75309 Republic Gunship has prompted broader examination of minifigure-scale. This interesting topic undoubtedly warrants investigation and this article encompasses numerous significant vehicles, determining their approximate minifigure-scale.As for "accountants had taken over Lego and people only care about making money instead of bringing joy and creativity to children", any company nowadays is about money. Like it or not that's the world we live in. LEGO can't make sets if they don't bring in the money to do so. Star Wars brings in the money, and quite a lot of it. Measurements taken from StarWars.com, Wookieepedia.com or the most recent canonical reference book. Furthermore, the interior is very sparsely detailed. Later models have contained a smaller vehicle but this one is almost entirely empty and certain areas of the hull therefore feel flimsy. The minifigures are also relatively unappealing and the absence of any opposing forces is disappointing. The overall shape of the vehicle is reasonably faithful to the source material though and I quite like the idea of opening the model to create a static base. 7144 Slave I Say whatever you want, but calling licenced sets a bad thing just shows your ignorance of the wider market and how business works. There is actually also a thing about colors, that ends up looking inaccurate in smaller scales, making people mix lighter colors and create fake shadows, but that's a whole other can of worms, that scale modelers have to deal with.
