Hey all,
Just got the first wave of four MINI's today at my local Target (4484, 4485,
4486, and 4487). Ummmmm, WOW! Double WOW! While the ISD represents the
grand scale that Lego can accomplish, these sets clearly represent the
possibilites of nano-style building. With the exception of the pod racers,
every set minimally yet beautifully represents the ship it's based on. I
can't single out any one in particular, they are all fantastically realized.
The set design is superb!
And what a fantastic selection of parts! A few highlights:
1x1 tiles in trans-smoke and dark-red.
2x2 trans-clear radar dishes.
Plain orange minifig heads.
2x2 orange radar dishes.
1x1 cone in orange and sand blue.
1x2 plate in trans-smoke.
Trans-orange lightsaber blades.
Sand blue droid bodies w/excellent generic decoration.
Plain 1x2 trans-dark blue tile.
1x2 tile w/center stud in sand green and dark red.
1x2 plate w/1x4 side plate in dark red.
ALL the decorated tiles. These are especially nice! Despite the fact that
they're designed for the specific ship, their small size makes them much
more flexible. I think my only criticism is that I would've used a 2x2
round smooth-bottom plate for the base of the snowspeeder rather than a 2x2
plate. It doesn't sit up so high that way. Otherwise, they are super cool
and just cry out to be swooshed!
Can't wait until the next wave comes!
Dave
