this is a bit of a white elephant (funny that it looks like an elephant aswel). this set is amazing. i ahd many joyus hours of assembling it, and the sheer amount of pieces is phenominal. this set really captured the look of the AT-AT, yet still gave that the LEGO quality.
but there is a downside. it is a bit tricy to build, and there is so mutch going on, you sometimes miss out pieces, and there are some parts that fall off if you just look at them. therfore the playability is very very low. but they are very rare, and for someone like me i prefer this over the newer more child proof one.
