Customer Reviews

Back to Planet Hoth and those AT-ATs!
Lego hits a home run with this mechanized model of the AT-AT you first saw terrorizing the Rebels on Hoth in Episode V of Star Wars. This advanced model (more than 1100 pieces) features a handle on top for easy transport, but the kicker is both its size (over 12" tall and 14" long) and the mechanization. With the addition of 6-AA batteries, this model uses its articulated legs to walk smoothly and "effortlessly", with the head swiveling... just like in the movie!

The disappointment? Not too hard to build. I do have an expectation that these collector sets are more complicated and take more effort to construct.

But it's so cool when it walks!

Fun, Functional, and Fantastic
I just finished assembling Lego's motorized AT AT. Not only does it look fantastic, but it actually is fully mobile. After tweeking the gears and the legs a bit, I managed to get the AT AT to walk smoothly on my tile floors. It's not a toy for young children because of its fragility and small parts which can easily be swallowed, but for adult "kids", it is definitely a wonderful collectible that will provide many hours of fun.

It's alive!!!!
I bought this for my husband on Father's Day. I was quite excited to see him put it together. He got the legs done within an hour or so and we tried to make the thin walk....and all it did was twitch. We hadn't hooked up the power yet, but we figured the legs should move without it. At this point I was prepared to call LEGO headquarters and complain at length. He continued to put it together while I moped and fumed about our new non-walking walker. Finally he got to the power-pack installation and we turned it on...................and IT WALKED! When we tried to move it earlier it was not able to turn the motor so it siezed, but we couldn't tell that because it appeared that everything was turning as much as it could. We were seeing what turned out to be the motion of the worm gear switching between forward and reverse.

This little model is wonderful. It walks in forward and reverse and the head moves back and forth as it walks. I can easily see this being modified into other walking robots and it gives a great example of how rotational motion can be transformed into linear motion. Plus it's kinda cute. Pew pew
