"A mechanically inventive and visually improved MTT that earns its Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 62.0 by delivering the best droid deployment mechanism in the set's history and a coveted Commander Bly minifigure, while charging $20 to $30 more than reviewers believe the vehicle's size and piece count warrant."
Expert reviewers largely agree that the 2025 MTT (75435) is a genuine improvement over the 2014 and 2000 versions, with a smooth, repeatable droid deployment mechanism and a strong minifigure lineup, but that the $159.99 price tag is $20 to $30 too high for a vehicle of this size. The BrickScore of 62.0 and the Mixed Reviews tier reflect that critics appreciate the engineering and design while repeatedly flagging the cost relative to piece count and the reduced droid capacity of just six battle droids. Owner sentiment splits sharply: Amazon buyers rate it 4.6 out of 5 across 314 ratings, but the LEGO.com base gives it only 1.84 out of 5 across 540 ratings, and just 19% of LEGO.com reviewers would recommend it, confirming that price is a serious friction point for the core audience.
Where they split: Reviewer verdict scores split between 75 and 65, with critics broadly positive about design and mechanism but split on whether the set justifies its price. The larger gap is between expert critics and LEGO.com owners: Amazon buyers (4.6 out of 5) skew far more positive than LEGO.com buyers (1.84 out of 5), suggesting that buyers who specifically sought out the set are more satisfied than the general LEGO.com audience who encountered pricing friction.

"This set here is going to retail for a whopping $160 US, but boy oh boy, have we ever wanted an MT for quite some time."
