"Mini Steamboat Willie earns a BrickScore of 75.3 and a Recommended verdict: owners rate it 4.81 out of 5 across 320 ratings, drawn in by the authentic black-and-white aesthetic, clever paddle-and-smokestack mechanics, and a Mickey Minifigure variant found nowhere else."
Mini Steamboat Willie (40659) was originally distributed as a gift-with-purchase celebrating Disney's 100th anniversary, and the response across 320 owner ratings is overwhelmingly positive: 4.81 out of 5 overall, 4.83 on value for money, and 95% of buyers saying they would recommend it. Reviewers were consistently impressed by the set's scale, the working paddle wheel and moving smokestack mechanics, and the faithful monochromatic black-and-white aesthetic that recalls the original 1928 cartoon. Expert dedicated reviews are limited, but owner sentiment is near-unanimous and the high agreement rating reflects broad consensus.

"This set is a pint-sized miniaturised version of 2019 LEGO Ideas version, 21317 Steamboat Willie, but don't let its small size fool you, it's a really good model and arguably better than its predecessor!"

"For such a low threshold it's a substantial set, and not that much smaller than the LEGO Ideas set 21317 Steamboat Willie that was released four years ago."
