Cool looking set. Unfortunately, it's another one of those walker sets where the legs can move, but not in any useful direction.
^What was the last time we had a recognizable walker that actually, y’know, walked...2015’s AT-AT?
You know, I'm not sure. AT-ATs typically have a good range of motion, but I hate how the rear legs are advertised as they never bend the way they are shown. They are more like elephants, I don't understand where this reverse knee thing came from.
My personal favorite is the first AT-ST, set 7127. https://brickset.com/sets/7127-1/Imperial-AT-ST It may look goofy, but the walking function is better than just about every other AT-ST. The gear functioned one with 8038 Battle of Endor is nice, but the legs are all one piece for the most part, making the feet not stay parallel to the ground. https://brickset.com/sets/8038-1/The-Battle-of-Endor
I like the AT-RT from 2005 https://brickset.com/sets/7250-1/Clone-Scout-Walker although it is a little limited. The minifig scaled one in the Clone Turbo Tank https://brickset.com/sets/8098-1/Clone-Turbo-Tank is pretty darn impressive in it's range of motion. Same with that battle pack one. https://brickset.com/sets/8014-1/Clone-Walker-Battle-Pack
This used to be the set that I really wanted . . . However I never got it . . . (I'm still salty)
^ I was in the same boat. Then a couple years later they finally released a new one (75043), but this time it was $60...
Yes I still hope to grab this one eventually. But probably 75043 if I can. One of the lasts I really would like to add to my collection (but for a great bunch of UCS!)
Still have this one on display, wish they gave kyssshkk troopers in the set considering the courosant gaurd is not in this vehicle :)
@Keegan_MC Having some more of the one guy we got with the 2005 Clone Turbo Tank would have been rad. In my Kashyyyk display, I have four of the classic Clone Troopers Battlepack, but I bought four of the Kashyyyk Battlepack just to replace all the Shocktroopers, and anyone in different armor colors I deemed incorrect. I still have my guys with the green markings from the Catamaran, the guys with the yellow markings, and the plain guys being the rear pilots on those speeder bikes on display, as well as giving the classic Kashyyyk Trooper and the Yellow Commander some extra armor from Clone Wars sets, and it looks great. I threw everyone else in the Turbo Tank since it's an enclosed vehicle with the capacity to do so. I still wouldn't say it's perfect by a long shot, but it looks a little more screen accurate than all the white and red.
always loved how well they got the armour plates to lock together on the main pod. but yes, the downside is that it can just sort of stomp up and down rather than any real walking
One of my favs still on display. Gaps aside, I really liked the cockpit and weapons storage.
Has a great stance with the third leg deployed too.
