Gamers and builders alike are ready to stack up this massive walker. “It’s the ultimate hunk of LEGO and Star Wars magic – so here’s to big, brick‑heavy adventures!” you’ll hear from the community.
Meet the Giant of the Star Wars LEGO Galaxy
Marvel at the latest titanic addition to LEGO’s Ultimate Collector Series (UCS). This 6,785-piece monster isn’t just any block‑busting build—it’s a full‑blown, gravity‑defying 62 cm tall, 69 cm long, and 24 cm wide kaboom of a set that will make your garage look like the next generation Millennium Falcon.
The Line‑up That Makes Your Heart Speed Up
- 75192 Millennium Falcon – the classic star‑ship that never goes out of style.
- 75275 A‑wing Starfighter – sleek, swift, and bone‑crunching good looking.
- 75309 Republic Gunship – the heavy hitter for your cockpit training regimen.
And now, straight from the heart of the Star Wars saga, comes a set that packs a ton of trivia and fun surprises.
What to Expect Inside the Scifi Masterpiece
This beast comes with a movable head, spinning guns that’ll have your friends cheering, adjustable legs for that impossible landing effect, and side panels that open up to reveal a detailed interior worthy of the Capitol’s finest interior designers.
Meet the Crew (Nine Mini‑Figs + Accessories)
- Luke Skywalker – because we all secretly want him to wave at us.
- General Veers – the guy who knows how to deliver a stern “Take this!” order.
- Two AT‑AT drivers – officially designated “Creeper Invaders.”
- Snowtrooper Commander & four Snowtroopers – the original “the team that couldn’t stand up” squad.
- Two speeder bikes – because who doesn’t want to race through Death Valley without the actual danger?
- Additional Easter eggs – usually a surprise that makes fans grin like kids on a chocolate bar.
Special Treat: Luke’s Escape Wire
Luke’s skull‑shattering, AT‑AT escapade comes with a miniature wire model that’s the exact thing that helped him dodge that massive hovercraft. It’s a must‑have for collectors, because you’ll want to brag at the next meetup: “Yeah, that’s the wire that gave us a 100‑ft escape!”
Bottom line – if you’re a LEGO aficionado or a Star Wars fan, this set gives you the ultimate experience: massive build, themed details, and a crew ready for action. So dust off those mini‑figs and get ready to assemble your own galactic saga!
Meet the AT‑AT: Star‑Wars’ Four‑Legged Walking Giant
Picture a massive, four‑legged robot barreling across a barren, snow‑covered planet—cue the dramatic soundtrack that sounds like a freight train crushed by a thunderstorm. That, my friends, is the AT‑AT, short for All Terrain Armored Transport. Its first grand entrance was in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, where it lumbered across the icy plains of Hoth, all set up to corral the Rebel Alliance’s shield generator. It’s the kind of machine that turns every pause‑for‑action typo into a full‑scale dance routine, only with really heavy dust‑eyes and a tendency to trip over its own feet.
A Few “Facts” About the AT‑AT
- Massive Footprint: Twice the size of a full‑size car crash, with each step kicking up a cloud of snow.
- Foot‑In‑the‑Water: It marches like a giant robot with too many legs, which makes it perfect for the epic “king‑of‑the‑high‑hell” showdown.
- Not‑Exactly Silent: The clunky, mechanical whir and thunk is basically the soundtrack to a disaster movie.
Why the AT‑AT Sticky‑Feet Finesse Stole the Show
Think of it as a robotic bulldog with a love for thunderous stomps—its mobility is limited to that slow, imposing swagger. Yet when the stars align (and the Emperor’s orders hit), those legs become the heart of a battle montage that still earns a standing ovation every time it ticks down that 10‑second countdown badge.
Bottom Line
In the galaxy far, far away, nobody’s invented a better way to make an enemy feel the weight of a thousand marching boots than the AT‑AT. Ready, set, stomp!
Once considered an “impossible” UCS set due to the walker’s long legs, it was brought to life by Lego Design Master Henrik Andersen and Lego Star Wars Design Director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen.
It will be available from Nov 26, 2021, which coincidentally happens to be Black Friday, via Lego Stores at the recommended retail price of US$799.99 (S$1,080).
But wait, there’s more, there’s even a Lego 40482 Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber you can receive as a gift-with-purchase.
