30592 Mini Thunder Raider

30592 Mini Thunder Raider is a Ninjago: Core polybag set that released in 2022. It contains miniature models of the Lightning off-roader and the Earth Mech, that can be rebuilt into a mini Storm Glider.
==Designer's note==
A staple in the Ninjago polybag line-up are our little 2-in-1 offerings – polybags that allow you to rebuild a vehicle into a second one: Freddy had done the impressive 30536 Combo Charger which Ethan had followed up with 30591 Titanium Mini Mech, and now it was time for Jay.
When looking at our line-up of Jay vehicles over the years, the Thunder Raider was always one of my favorites: An off-road vehicle on tank treads ferrying around a mech that you can actually take off and play with separately? What more could you ask for?
Turning that awesomeness of a vehicle into a polybag was an idea I soon regretted – after all I had to also design a B model that would hardly be able to use any of the chain links required for the tracks. After a lot of back-and-forth I was able to turn the Thunder Raider into Jay's Lighting Jet, a model that feels way bigger than the pieces its made from.
In the end things tend to work out, especially when you have help: To this day I'm thankful for the packing engineer that happily spend an hour with me, explaining packing stations and other limitations that we face when packing polybags. Pro-tip: Just don't use a boat load of chain links!https://brickset.com/sets/designer-Markus-Rollb%C3%BChler
