Are you ready to embark on a journey back in time and celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary in style? The LEGO Mini Steamboat Willie (40659) set is here for you! It’s a remarkable tribute to Disney’s iconic character, Mickey Mouse, and his screen debut! In this review, we’ll explore the charm of this buildable boat and minifigure and why it’s a must-have for any LEGO and Disney fan!
A Nostalgic Trip
The Mini Steamboat Willie set is a delightful reconstruction, capturing the essence of the original with exquisite attention to detail. From the charming bucket and flag at the bow to the winch and cargo at the stern, the rudder and funnels on the upper deck, it’s a true masterpiece. The only omission is the awning above the wheelhouse, a detail we can forgive since it would not be in scale with the minifigure.
Rotating Paddlewheel and Moving Funnels
As you push the boat along, the paddlewheel turns, and the funnels go up and down! Just like in the cartoon. This playful feature brings the set to life, creating a delightful connection to the source material and providing hours of interactive enjoyment.
Incredible Value and Exclusive Minifigure
What makes this set truly extraordinary is that it is a promotional gift with purchase (GWP). To obtain it, you need to spend a minimum of €100 on LEGO Disney products from October 23rd to 31st, 2023. This GWP contains over 400 pieces, and while LEGO’s page may state a value of €24.99, it’s worth mentioning that it could potentially retail for around €40. The real treasure, though, is its association with Disney’s 100th anniversary and the exclusive minifigure, available only in this set. It’s arguably the most cost-effective GWP of 2023, making it a wise investment for collectors!
