This beauty is the reason i came out of my Dark Ages after 22 years!

I had no idea LEGO had this kind of sets for adults and display purposes.

Found the set for 89 euro and was impressed by the new pieces, building technics, design details and the model height.

The height!

This UCS display set is way bigger in height then i could have imagined.

Its a beauty to have on your shelf to look at!

Even tho its a display model it has some moving parts, like to opening top hatch, the side and front guns.

The engine on the back is also well designed.

Im glad i buyed this UCS model since it proved to be the perfect way back to my old hobby from 22 years ago... :-)

This set awesome to look at - when the designers got to work on this, they certainly went overtime to get the model looking as realistic as it is.
So things to mention:

It doesn't walk (wouldn't stand otherwise) though the hips are loose.
The side panels are held together with an elastic band, which could be placed nearer the back allowing for a cockpit interior to be made.
It stands at around 18 inches tall (I haven't measured it so cannot say exactly how tall it is) so its a really big model.
At £50 it actually well priced

Very well detailed and worth getting. A must for any SW collector

While fragile, unstable and a bit cumbersome to build, this set is one of the most wonderful looking I've ever seen. Somehow Lego parts fit perfectly into the coarse look (which reminds WWII tanks) of armored Imperial fighting machines. This one belongs on a pedestal.

The set is not intended to be played by children, yet some of them might want to build cockpit inside The Monster -- although the set is not in the same scale as minifigs are. There is a lot of room for other modifications also.

There are some cool ideas in the design of set, such as little hatches in the driver/gunner vents, rotating grenade launcher and good use of inclined vertical plates on front, sides and rear.

I saw this set on sale directly from the lego store and decided to buy it. I hadn't built or owned any lego sets since I was a child and thought it would be fun. I think I spawned a monster because I fell in love with Lego all over again and the star wars sets are just awesome. So this was the first set in my collection I recently started. The only complaint is that some times the instructions are hard to see where the pieces go because everything is the grey color but I was able to stare at it long enough to finally figure it out. That's the fun of building right? On another note, I was missing a piece from the set and went to Lego's customer support website and filled out the form for the piece I was missing. Less than three weeks later I received it in the mail with no cost to me. I tip my hat to Lego for great customer support. I highly recommend this set.

The UCS AT-ST has everything you want in a Lego set: good number of pieces at a great price, astounding detail and scale, outstanding built experience and of course - its a Star Wars UCS! You get a mixture of system and technic parts. You essentially build the skeleton frame and begin attaching detailed armour pieces to flesh the walker out. It is fun to watch the unit build from the legs to the torso and finally the head. Oh yeah, the guns and grenade launcher are probably the best details in the set.

There are reports on the unit being wobbly. This is caused by the fact that the torso/turret assembly is attached to the 2 legs via only 2 technic pins, with no way of modifying it to give it more stability. This is perhaps the only gripe in this otherwise perfect set. It's a non-issue - UCS sets are not meant for play anyway. Otherwise, the set seemed strong enough to withstand the Endor attack. In all, I had the most fun ever in a Lego build. At this price, a Star Wars fan cannot possibly pass up on this set.
