It's so tiny, it's like a baby!
I loved the Star Wars minis! I immediately went back to re-collect the first wave when I first heard of Bricklink a couple of years ago. :-)
Looks more like a mechanical camel than an instrument of Imperial destruction.
The Minis line was fantastic! Especially the first two series which came with the bonus parts to make an additional model if you collected all four. This particular one came with parts to make the cockpit of a Y-Wing.
Amazingly Tiny - Armored Transport
Very cute. I got the MTT a few years ago from an aunt who purchased it back then but didn’t actually use it for anything until she found out that I liked both Lego and Star Wars! Great memory :)
Despite this I never got the At-At, but I really like it. Lego should reboot this line one day, and no polybags don’t count.

I'd argue that they have multiple times. The Planet Sets were great, and the Microfighters have become some of my preferred sets because they're small and fun representations of larger ships. The exaggerated proportions may not appeal to everyone, but there is something quaint about them that I like.

Okay, good point. Still these types of sets were pretty good, although Microfighters aren’t bad either.
This is the line that got me out of my dark age.
Man, I loved these mini sets so much! I had all of them at one point.
The hump looks a bit crude, but I'll take it.
The perfect toy for Baby Yoda XD
I remember collecting all of these sets when they came out, just so I could build the bonus vehicle, whose parts were split across all the sets.
If I remember right, they came in a strange plastic bubble-type packet, not a box or poly bag.
I must still have them in a box somewhere.
It's so cute and tiny :) Can I take it home? I promise to take good care of it
I'd love for them to do these again, or, even better, midi scale again!

YES! Bring back Midi Scale. It was perfect for getting details without breaking the bank.
I remember really liking the first wave of these SW mini-models - I got all of them together on sale, plus had the TIE Fighter polybag that came free with an issue of Lego Magazine at the same time - but the later waves failed to keep my interest; I guess, just because I've always been more invested in the characters than the vehicles.
All the same, I did have one from this wave too; back in probably 2010 I bought a big box of used Lego from a charity shop, because it included lots of Insectoids and Life on Mars pieces (two almost-complete sets worth!), and found to my surprise that it included a still-sealed mini MTT from this range, too. So that was cool ^^
Definitely picked this one (and a few others from the line) up back in the day. Didn’t quite pull me out of the dark ages, but still have a soft spot for it.
