As my title states I wish more people could have this set. Now it may be one of the most expensive lego starwars sets. It is also one of the most fun sets I've ever played with. As someone who didn't grow up with a ton of lego it was a dream come true when I found this in my cousin's attic dismantled and a layer of dust on it. I took it home and cleaned it up. Put it together and I was exhilarated on just how much you could do with this set. Be it stand-alone dropping the at-ot or picking it up, or perhaps pair it with other AT variants fighting a war on geonosis. There was just so much you could do with it. It was even compatible with other sets from its time. I just simply wish more kids could have the pleasure of playing with this set. Its simply a shame just how much it costs now.

Buy it before it is obsolete.

I received this set for Christmas last year and later my mom bought me 3 clone trooper battle packs to fill the AT-OT.This is a good set,it definitely gives what you think it would and more, giving the set it's name.

Box/Instructions

The set comes in a box where if it's wrapped up or not, it reveals what your getting.

The dropship is dropping the AT-OT off on what looks like Geonosis.Random laser fires and explosions are going on everywhere,probably to make the look of an enemy is attacking.The dropship is also firing its flick-fire missiles,in addition to the fact that 3 clones are running in front of the AT-OT.Sadly,if you count the guns it shows you on the of the box,LEGO accidentally added in an extra blaster rifle.If you do get the set,don't assume you missing a rifle as soon as you open the set.The back of the box shows you the 9 features of the set,like the lifting mechanism,hidden missile turret,different nose stickers,etc.

The instructions are surprisingly 3 books,with no mistakes and I had no missing pieces.

Minifigures

The set totals 6 regular clone troopers, with the accompaniment of two clone pilots, one for the AT-OT and one for the dropship.Four of the clones in the set are armed with blaster pistols,and the other 2 have blaster rifles.The clone pilots don't come with any weaponry.:[

Parts

This set has some pretty strange parts.One of them is the rare giant radar dish used as the magnets on the dropship.If you like flick-fire missiles, this is the set for you. the entire set is armed with 16 flick-fire missiles! The set also comes with 5 ball turrets if you want to put them on a MOC or something like that.

The Build

On the AT-OT, the build is a bit repetitive.If you don't feel so sure about building the lifting mechanism on the dropship,I was 9 when I built it.The build was very easy for me, even at my young age and finished the set in about 6 hours.

The Completed Model

Finished, the models deliver what they promise.There is a way to have up to 22 troops in there,you just need to fold the boarding ramp back a little and 6 troops can stand up.

Summary

I recommend to get it ,but whatever you do,do not buy this set with your own money.Ask for it for Christmas or even your birthday,just don't buy it on your own. Don't even agree with your parents to pay some,just ask for it for a holiday.

I bought this set thinking that the LAAT would lock in with the ATTE. Well all of the fans who actually believed that it would, like on the back of the second booklet on the ATTE, it doesn't, don't wate your money only for the locking thing. But otherwise, it was an amazing set. It had two pilots, and six other clone troopers. This set is very big, I was excpecting it to be small, but it came with a gigantic walker and ship. However, it is hard to build, and also falls apart easily. Finally, if you like weird building techniques, the ship comes with one.......

First, let me say that I'm a Star Wars nut, so I love just about everything Star Wars.

With that said, I have a few issues with the way Lego did this set. Yes, it is impressive, the dropship is huge, bigger than you think it will be. It does a fair job of coming in to land with the AT-OT, and it carries the AT-TE and Clone Turbo Tank to boot, which is pretty cool.

So what is wrong? First, I'd like to be able to buy the dropship without the AT-OT walker. I would like two of them to be able to drop the AT-TE and AT-OT at the same time for play. The AT-OT is the weaker half of the set, the legs don't do much and with it being open on top (yea, I know that is the OT part of the name), it makes little sense as a battle walker in my opinion.

The dropship is as swooshable as it gets, it has a nice carry handle and works just like you think it should.

Pros

• Dropship is amazing
• Much bigger than you expect
• Great concept
• High swooshability factor with the dropship

Cons

• Price, the price per brick is very high, even for Star Wars
• The AT-OT just kinda sits there, the legs really only sit in one position
• Can't buy the dropship by itself

Over all, would I buy this again? Of course, I own everything Star Wars, so that makes me a bad person to ask. Would I buy this if I had a limited budget for Lego? No, I wouldn't, there are better ways to spend $250 on Star Wars Lego than this. Buy the new Republic Frigate and the new Millenium Falcon instead for the same money, more fun to be had that way.
