    good set, great minifigures

    Written by (TFOL) in United States,

    minifigures

    This set includes three minifigures: the mandalorian in beskar armour, the child/Grogu, and a tusken raider. The tusken raider is the same as in 75270 obi-wans hut, and 75265 t-16 skyhopper and bantha microfighters. It comes with the detailed head mould, which looks great. The child is the same as in the 75292 razor crest, and the 75318 the child buildable statue. It is a great minifigure, and has some great printing on the head and body. The last (and best) minifigure in this set is the mandalorian in beskar armour. He is exclusive to this set, and looks really great. He includes a brown cape, lots of detailed printing on the front and back of his body, and on his legs, and even has arm printing.

    build

    This set comes with three smaller builds: mandos speeder, a tusken raider hut, and a tusken raider ballista. The best build of this set is mandos speeder. It is pretty close to minifigure scale, and it looks great. It includes a bag on the side that grogu can sit in. the second best build is the tusken raider ballista. It has a handle for the tusken raider on the back, and it has little wheels on the back that you can spin around to pretend you are pulling in the krayt dragon. It also includes a spring-loaded shooter, and comes with two of the spring-loaded shooter bolts on silver. Usually they come in transparent green or red, so it's nice to get them in a different color. The worst build is the tusken raider hut. It's really only half a hut with a fire pit in the front, and the part of the wall that you do get has a lot of gaps in it. overall it is a pretty boring build, but the other two are good.

    playability

    This set doesn't have that much playability. You can put mando and grogu on the speeder, and they can all sit by the fire pit, and on the ballista you get the spring-loaded shooter, but this set is better if you like just pretending with the minifigures, instead of having tons of features.

    value

    I think that this set has really good value. It's not quite 10 cents per piece, but it has three amazing minifigures. This is the cheapest set that grogu comes in, before you would have to pay $80 to get the buildable statue, and this is the only set that the new mando comes in, and he is a really amazing minifigure.

    Final thoughts

    This is a really amazing set, that comes with three great minifigures. This set is a must-have for any Star Wars or the mandalorian fan.

    great set, with some pretty great figures

    Written by (TFOL) in United States,

    Minifigures

    This set includes three minifigures: an imperial at-st driver, a rebel hoth trooper, and chewbacca with snow. The at-st driver is a pretty good minifigure. It has nice printing on the front, back and legs, and a double-sided face including happy and angry expressions. The rebel hoth trooper is also a pretty god minifigure, but it lacks leg printing. It includes a white backpack, and a helmet with goggles that can be placed either over the face, or on the helmet. It also has a double-sided face, with a smile on one side and a scowl on the other. chewbacca, which is by far my favourite minifigure in this set, has great printing to show snow all over him. It comes with the usual moulded head/body piece, which looks good but is nothing new, and a stud-shooting bowcaster. All over the head/body piece, and the legs are little dots of white to represent snow. It also has toe printing with snow. I really like this figure, and I think it looks great.

    Build

    There are two builds in this set: the main build, which is the at-st walker, and a smaller imperial probe droid. The imperial probe droid is a good build, and is very detailed and accurate to source material. It comes on a clear stick attached to a white wedge plate. I would have liked something more to represent snow, but this is okay. The at-st is great. It has many improvements over previous lego at-st models, including much more detail on the feet, a new design for the head, which is more accurate, and much stronger connections for the blaster cannons and rocket launcher on the sides. This build is also very accurate to source material and looks very good on display. It would also go very well with the ucs at-at walker that was released on Black Friday last year.

    Playability

    There are a few really cool play features to this set. My favourite is how you can rotate the head by spinning a small knob on the back of the walker. It has a full 360 degrees of movement, and looks great. There are also two spring-loaded shooters in the head of the walker, activated by pressing small sticks on the back, and then there is also the stud shooter built into chewbacca's bowcaster. There is space inside the walker for the at-st driver, and clips for his two accessories (a blaster pistol, and a pair of white binoculars). On the top of the walker you can open a small hatch to the interior, which is accurate to source material, and you can also open up the whole top to get into the interior easier. The one thing that disappoints me about this set is the legs. The can move backwards, but it can not move forwards. This frustrates me because the hinge that is used for the lags can move forward, but it is blocked by part of the legs, which makes it difficult to create accurate poses, other than just standing still. This has been a problem with previous lego at-st models, and I was hoping it would be fixed here.

    Value

    I think the value for this set is great. It has a great price per piece ratio, and includes three very good-looking figures and many fun features.

    Final thoughts

    I think that this is a really great set, despite the problems with leg movement. It has a lot of great details, and is definitely worth getting if you are a Star Wars fan, and especially if you have the ucs at-at, because it goes very well with that.

    great set, but too expensive.

    Written by (TFOL) in United States,

    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.
