"A mechanically inventive and visually improved MTT that earns its Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 64.5 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 64.5 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."

"This is beefy. I'm happy with its size. I'm happy with its uh its weight, and it feels it feels well sorted."
JANG's LEGO Reviews
"The spectre of 7662 Trade Federation MTT will forever loom over subsequent attempts at this droid vehicle, as one of the most popular LEGO Star Wars sets ever produced."
Brickset Reviews
"One of the flagship sets of the wave is 75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT, which not only includes the long-awaited minifigure debut of Commander Bly, but also features the first LEGO MTT playset in over a decade!"

"I'm just honestly surprised that LEGO even made this set. If you would have asked me a year ago, I would have said that Lego will never make a blue MT."
Five Lonely Clones"I cannot believe they finally made a full-size Clone Wars version of the MTT. It's insane."
MandRproductions"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."
"Set is overpriced by $20–$30. Should retail at $130–$140. Maintains quality on par with ATTE and Coruscant Guard Gunship (when on sale), making it somewhat comparable to those $120–$140 pricing points, but not justified at $160. Better value than Republic Juggernaut (same price, fewer pieces, fewer minifigs). Two-in-one variant with 327th battle pack rumored at $160–$180 may represent best value if available."
"The price is a bit high for the part count compared to earlier versions of similar vehicles. The reviewer suggests using LEGO Insider points to make the purchase more reasonable if buying on day 1. US $159.99 | CAN $199.99 | UK £139.99 for 976 pieces puts the set at approximately $0.164 per piece, which the reviewer views as overpriced relative to historical MTT releases."

Owners agree the build quality and droid deployment mechanism are genuinely clever, but nearly universal frustration with the $160 price tag for a sub-1000-piece set that feels noticeably undersized dominates the conversation.
