    A beautiful build that's amazingly accurate and worth every penny

    Written by (TFOL , rhodium-rated reviewer) in United Kingdom,

    Opening;

    The lego Star Wars AT-AT (all terrain armoured transport) from summer 2020 was my major birthday gift for 2021and I must say it is an amazing set released six years after its 2014 variant and this set outshines that in all check boxes especially in the accuracy department although like the razor crest 75292 it could use some work in the figure department .

    The minifigures-

    The figures starting with Luke Skywalker , he has his rebel pilot helmet with great printing , a face with the visor and a smiling expression printed and on the back a face with the visor up and a larger grin , his torso and legs are a very good printed rebel flight suit , he wields a regular blue bladed lightsaber and a printed thermal detonator , next we have General Veers he has a fantastic helmet mould with printing on the front , a face with a headset and frowning face and an evilish grin on the back , the torso is appropriate with armour and a generals rank plaque , his legs are unprinted in dark grey , he wields some dark grey electrobinoculars , next we have the AT-AT pilots (although in universe only one is a pilot and the other is a gunner) they are identical other than their face prints the have incredible helmet printing that really cannot be improved in any major way other than the exposed back of the head at the back , the faces are a Lex Luthor face and a Tom Riddle head , the torso and legs are very detailed with a continuous print , they both wield a small blaster pistol in black and finally we have the snowtroopers , like the AT-AT pilots thy are identical excusing the faces the have simplistic helmet prints , one has a exhausted face print whilst the other has just a stern expression , their torsos are nice and the same goes for the legs , they both wield a standard black blaster rifle .

    The builds-

    The main build being the all terrain armoured transport starting with the feet , they are built on 4x4 black plates with a modified dark pink 2x4 brick in the centre , there are three main toe assembly's on each foot , built on two 2x3 light grey angled plates with a 2x2 light grey slope on top , there is also an inner toe that is smaller with a 1x2 light grey cheese slope , there are angled bricks on each foot with a 6x6 light grey dish on top , then there is a 4x4 light grey round brick with a light grey arch attached above with snot built around a technic lift arm for the leg's armour plating consisting of angled plates , 1x2 slopes , 1x4 tiles and light grey CMF stands , where the foot connects to the leg at the bottom inside there is a beam build made of bars clip adaptors and half technic pins , at the middle point of the leg there is a hinge connection with a 4x4 light grey dish for the joint covering , further up we get the second portion of the leg built on another technic lift arm with a snot build around it as well consisting of 1x6 light grey tiles , 1x4 light grey tiles and more light grey CMF stands , there is another joint covered by a 4x4 light grey dish and these are securely attached to body with technic axles and pins and just to note these legs are very well articulated and are great fun to pose it in a walking stance . Now moving from the legs we start the main hull of the walker starting with the area where the legs attach it is tiled off behind with curved plates attached with a snot technique at each side , the middle of the bottom sides has an assembly attached with clips it consists of angled plates introduced in the 2020 TIE dagger but the ingenious part of this build the the central snot build for the vents incorporated side ways to get a very nice grilled effect , behind where the rear legs attach there are more tiles and curved plates and in the centre there are two 3x3 light grey round tiles for more mechanical detailing which are just great pieces on their own and there are two on each side , at the very back there is a panel assembly built on some plates and angled plates with the outside having a clip and bar assembly having some dark grey flags as well and a sloped brick with some curved underneath and jumpers inside and a 1x3 light grey tile for detail in the centre and a large light grey technic wheel at the bottom for detail , now e have the two side panels for te back they are built on 6x8 plates with angled wing plates around the sides and two 2x3 light grey tiles for decoration along with a clip and clip receiver attached for more detail these are attached with mini ball joints , the central panels consist of a 6x12 light grey plate and a 6x12 jumper the plate has six 1x2 divider plates leading up the sides with a 4x6 light grey jumper for further panelling this are connected to technic bricks and you pull and lift to open them up the front panels are smaller than the rear and are built on angled plates with jumpers and two 2x3 light grey tiles on top for more detail and the front roof panel is built on a 4x6 modified dark grey plate with modified 1x2s and CMF stands in light grey for the roofing , the centre roofing of the body is very simple just consisting of two 4x12 light grey plates and the back roof panel is also built on a modified 4x6 dark grey plate also with CMF stand ,modified 1x2s and a snot plate in dark grey as a sort of lock attached to a 2x4 light grey tile . Now we move onto the interior with one side consisting of three sand blue seats with a black railing in he middle , the other side has two more seats in sand blue with a side assembly with a bar sticking uo for you to attach the included E-WEB heavy repeating blaster which Moff Gideon has a interest in , however here lies one of my major flaws of the set te interior has space for five snowtroopers yet the set only comes with two which is quite frustrating , when you open the back panel and back roof panel to an area in which you can insert a speeder bike which is also included , and when open the front roof panel you reveal a winch mechanism that can lower down a string which runs through te body and comes out underneath being tied to a galaxy squad gun piece and if you could not tell this is all for Luke to pull himself up to destroy the craft and underneath lego also included a feature of a clip attachment to a hinge to show the hatch in which Luke enters . Lastly we have the head starting with the neck which is very strongly attached with technic to the body and head , the neck has three dark grey technic steering wheels for a good but open design , the nose panel for the head is a brick build with snots on the sides and a 1x2 light grey ingot at the bottom , the windshield is very sleek as a single black line with cheese slopes around it , the sides are built out of angled plates and loped bricks at the bottom and the panels above are angled with 4x4 light grey dishes on it with clips and computer screen pieces and long bars for the main side canons and the back is elevated with more angled plates and 1x2 light grey grilles , the roof is built out of a 1x8 and 4x8 light grey plate with an elevated slope build in the middle with a 2x3 light grey tile , the interior has space for the pilot and gunner and general veers with two printed 1x2 dark grey cheese slope consoles at the front and two more on each side at the back there are also two reciprocating cannons at the bottom attached bt hollow studs and using flick fire missiles . Additionally, in the set there are two side builds that can be placed inside the AT-AT starting with the E-WEB heavy repeating blaster canon it is on a tripod base with three black galaxy squad guns and a 1x1 cone with the main blaster on top consisting of roller skates , jumpers , candles , unprinted BB-9E heads and lightsaber hilts , the speeder is built on a 2x6 black plate with a snot brick at the front with two bars with white angled fins at the very front and white sloping on the body , two handle bars and a build at the back with white slopes and a cannon underneath it with two foot breaks as well .

    In conclusion-

    this is a fantastic set , with its presence really felt in a room and it also makes for a great toy with playability through the roof my only proper complaint other than some dodgy technic pins showing is the lack of more snowtroopers as this is a transport and the fact that not even half of the seats are filled and there are not really any other easy ways to get snowtroopers nowadays , but overall I 100% recommend this set to every lego star war fan as it is already a highlight of my collection .
