    great set, but too expensive.

    minifigures

    This set includes four minifigures: Asoka Tano, a 332nd clone trooper, and two AAT driver battle droids. the AAT driver battle droids are basically normal battle droids, but they have an olive green torso, and printing on their heads. They are the same figure as in 75233 droid gunship, and 75234 AT-AP. Ahsoka Tano is a really nice minifigure, with some metallic printing on the front and back of her torso and her legs. the only problem is that her head piece is too long, and it should be cut off a little higher. the 33nd clone trooper is also a really cool figure. It has the torso and legs of the 501st legion clone trooper from 75280 501st legion clone troopers. the helmet has orange printing, which is exactly the same color as Ahsokas face. This figure also comes with the new clone head, which I think is much more accurate than the old one.

    build

    The build of this set nice. It is a much more accurate size than the previous clone wars style AAT. It comes with a few interesting slope and curve pieces, and has some interesting building techniques, but there are a couple of problems. First, the guns on the side should be flipped. When you look at the AAT from the actual clone wars show, you can see that the longer gun should be on top, not the shorter one, but that should be easy to fix because you can just unclip them and clip them on the other way. the other problem is that the main gun is too long. it still looks okay, but when you compare it to a picture, it just looks sort of wrong. the last thing is that the back of the AAT looks sort of weird, but that is fine because mostly you just see the front. These set took me about 45 minutes to build.

    playability

    I think that this set has really good playability. the main turret can rotate 360 degrees (which is probably too much, but it's still fun!), the main gun can move up and down, and the side guns can also move up and down. this set also includes two spring-loaded shooters, which are disguised really well. the are built into the bottom of the AAT, and you can shoot them but pressing on a small piece on the back. this is really nice because they always look weird when they are just sticking out of the set.

    value

    I think that this set is really overpriced, and it should be $30, instead of $40. 75280 501st legion lone troopers is about the same amount of pieces, and it includes six minifigures instead of four, and it costs only $30. Both sets include two exclusive minifigures, but the 502st legion clone troopers set includes three of the 501st legion clone troopers. I think this set should include at least one more 332nd clone trooper minifigure. It would be really nice to be able to get two of them.

    Final thoughts

    this is a nice set, but it should be ten dollars less, or include at least one minifigure. You should definitely get this set, but maybe wait until you can find it on sale.
