LEGO Star Wars AT-ST Walker Building Set - Adult Building Blocks for Fans, Ages 18+ - Imperial Forces Collectible Model Kit - Star Wars Gift Idea for Men & Women - 75417

Honestly just a really fun build and a great looking model, it's bigger than I had expected which is definitely not a drawback, the little additions of tan bricks spread throughout the build to show dirt might be a negative to some but I don't really mind it and I think it looks nice, interior is also great despite the usage of stickers for the seats which were a little annoying to place correctly, I'm not a big fan of stickers, especially on UCS sets, but there's only 5 here and they're not huge drawbacks for me here so I don't mind it too much, only real drawback I can think of is the lack of dual molded legs for the AT-ST driver, still a great figure but it's one step away from being perfected.

This was a fun build with a lot of unique techniques, taking me about eight hours to complete at a steady, unhurried pace. There was some unavoidable repetition (to have them match, you have to build the legs and side panels the same way), but it was otherwise a varied and engaging build. My only deviation from the manual was waiting to attach both legs to the head support platform (which you build first) at the same time, rather than after completing each one. Overall, I'm happy with the final look, which is nicely detailed, even on the inside, and it will look good on display beside by AT-AT. It is also nice that the head can be rotated side-to-side, and the cannon angles can be adjusted, which helps you vary how you display it. That being said, only one Imperial minifig is included, but the AT-ST is controlled by two pilots in the movies (along with a commander), so that was a little disappointing. But, to me, Lego missed a key opportunity to improve playability: Ewoks! Given the key scene in Return of the Jedi when Chewie commandeers an AT-ST with two Ewoks (which is highlighted in the manual), the playability of this set would have been much improved if a couple of Ewok minifigs (possibly with a RotJ Chewbacca minifig) had been provided alongside the single Imperial minifig. Therefore, I consider it a bit pricy for what it is included. Had more than one minifig been included, particularly a couple of Ewoks to improve playability, I would have considered the price more appropriate. Nonetheless, it is a worthy addition to my Star Wars UCS collection.

Nice set, looks great when finished. My 11 y.o. daughter built half and I did the other. The Weasleys werent happy when she used it to attack the Burrow! My only gripe is that the legs don't move.

It's a fun, well designed build and most importantly it's SOLID. Pieces don't fly off every time you touch it. I enjoyed this set far more than the AT-AT UCS set which you dare never touch. I am missing one piece (got a slightly different piece in the bag instead), but Lego has been very good about sending me replacements when needed.

With the release of the new August wave, I wasn't too impressed with most of the new sets. However, one of these did stand out, this being the new UCS ATST. This is the second UCS ATST we have gotten, the last being from 2006 I believe. The build experience of this set was extremely enjoyable; it had a good balance between brick built lego and lego technic. It was split into 14 numbered bags, with the first few bags being the main body and legs of the model. I am extremely impressed with how much detail they put into the head of the model, and the overall rotation of the head works very well. Although the legs aren't posable they do have a really nice amount of detail, with little strips of tan pieces incorporated into the model to break up the monotonous grey colour. I was also surprised by the minimal amount of stickers included in the set too. As many new sets that are released these days tend to come with a large number of stickers (one being the UCS Jango's Slave 1 set also released this year). I would say the biggest downside of this set is that the ATST Driver minifig does not come with dual moulded legs. Otherwise, I think this is a pretty near perfect UCS set that displays very well, and would look great in anyones UCS or Star Wars collection. I would give this 4.5/5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed building from start to finish and I think it looks formidable on display. Though I do wish they had put more effort into the driver minifig. For a UCS set they should have used dual molded legs, drivers clearly have tall black boots and Lego did not even try to imitate this.

I know a few of August's releases have been contentious but this is one I think is worth it. Some great building techniques and the thing is an absolute unit when built, doesn't feel fragile like the TIE Interceptor did! Between the build experience and the price / piece ratio, would have no problem recommending this set.

It would be an instant buy if the price was just a bit lower, I bought it using my Lego VIP points allowing me to get it into a decent price, I really like how it looks displayed next to my UCS AT AT, the both of them look really nice for display.

Overall a solid UCS build, good detail. I was expecting it to be close to the BD-1 model but was pleasant surprised. The only hard part was getting the sides on correctly. The overall all tones are great and I love the way the eyes look. Just feeling it in your graso it is very solid.

NICE LOOKING DISPLAY MODEL, BUT WAY OVERPRICED AGAIN. THIS IS A UCS SET AND YET AGAIN WE GET STICKERS INSTEAD OF PRINTED PARTS AND A MINIFIGURE THAT SHOULD HAVE DUAL MOULDED LEGS. YOU TELL US "ONLY THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH", WELL YOU MIGHT AS WELL DROP THE FIRST FOUR WORDS AND JUST GO WITH GOOD ENOUGH.
