It looks to be constructed of a very heavy duty plastic that should hold up over time. And outside of the box is just as heavy (almost). That is a very heavy box so you can rest assured that this isn’t one big hollow pieces of plastic. We ordered our sample online and the shipping notice clocked this vehicle in at 13 pounds. The Trade Federation MTT (Multi Troop Transport) is a very heavy vehicle. It’s the things it comes with that are the letdowns and we’ll get to those in detail in a moment. It’s not perfect and Hasbro made some unacceptable shortcuts here that are nearly tragic, but overall this is a fine effort and we’re very happy that after 13 lucky years Hasbro has finally made the “big” vehicle from Episode I and so well at that. Rather than try to force something down your throat, hopefully we can sell the MTT to you with our commentary here and our photo gallery above and convince you that this vehicle is a worthy candidate for your collection (even if you’re just on the fence about it). We’re not saying you must like The Clone Wars, Episode I, Episode II and Episode III, but some of the largest (and neatest) vehicles that have ever made it into the Star Wars universe are from the films that didn’t have stormtroopers. Interestingly, they were based on The Clone Wars franchise (which sadly angers another facet of fans – we’re not going there) which shows that Hasbro is shy about releasing these humongous vehicles without some media support. Both are very large in size and loaded with play features and are in general very awesome toys. For instance, they’ve done other great large vehicles like 2008’s TCW AT-TE (All Terrain Tactical Enforcer) and 2009’s TCW Clone Turbo Tank. We want to see an overload of product based on the classic Star Wars films too, but the “modern stuff” really does pack a punch in multiple ways. We’re empathetic to the zeal for the Original Trilogy. So when Hasbro does focus on something Prequel Trilogy instead, a large percentage of the collecting community won’t even consider a vehicle like the Trade Federation MTT (Multi Troop Transport) which is an ultimate shame. And as impatient as a people we are, we're not satisfied until they are confirmed. But Hasbro always seems to find an excuse not to do them. After 2008’s TLC Millennium Falcon and 2010’s SW Imperial AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport), there is little that can truly wow us at this point, save for the much needed updates to the Original Trilogy vehicles (and playsets) we desperately want to see new and improved. It’s quite possible that Star Wars collectors have been spoiled in the past with Hasbro’s large-scaled vehicles.
