LEGO 75288 Star Wars AT-AT Walker Building Toy, 40th Anniversary Collectible Figure Set, Gift Idea for Kids, Boys & Girls, Room Décor with 6 Minifigures

Product Information

This Luke Skywalker minifigure was introduced last year and is the best version in his flight suit yet – unfortunately not for Hoth though, as this is his X-wing outfit rather than his Snowspeeder outfit. — Price —

Without a doubt, this combat walker remains a fan-favorite to many who cherish the Original Trilogy to this day. This is what also made it so popular in the LEGO Community. Our task today is to compare all the LEGO AT-AT versions we received throughout the years and see which one is the Best LEGO AT-AT Walker. 4483 AT-AT AT-AT walkers are traditionally controlled by two drivers and an officer who commands the vehicle. Previous models have only accommodated two minifigures but this AT-AT provides enough space for three characters and various printed control panels. This alteration seems subtle but has necessitated some dramatic changes to the design and the result is excellent, remaining close to the source material. When you take things into consideration, it could be troublesome to choose one that could be named the best. If you want an AT-AT that is accurate to the movie version, you should buy the UCS AT-AT.AT-ATs can deploy speeder bikes for reconnaissance missions and this model accordingly includes one speeder bike. The same feature appeared in 4483 AT-AT and the location of the speeder garage has remained consistent, inside the rearmost section of the body. Opening the surrounding panels reveals several unsightly Technic elements but permits easy removal of the speeder bike which is perfect for play. The model looks absolutely outstanding based upon official images and its announcement provoked considerable excitement, particularly since this rendition of the AT-AT is larger than previous versions. Additionally, I think the new model appears exceptionally accurate and the interior detail has been significantly improved. Minifigures

If you want a fairly nice design and a great minifigure selection, then the 2010 version is the best choice for you. However, if you are looking for a great design which is robust and will not break when you move it around, then the 2014 version is the perfect choice. Also, it will be the cheapest option out of all today. The interior undoubtedly remains cramped and placing the minifigures inside can sometimes prove challenging. Nevertheless, this internal configuration represents an improvement upon earlier models and I am particularly pleased that the designer has still found enough room to incorporate basic controls which surround the minifigures. Several depictions of the E-Web have been produced, beginning with an example from 4504 Millennium Falcon. This model hardly resembles other versions, featuring an Aeroblade piece and three pistols from Alien Conquest which form the tripod base. The legs should reach much nearer to the barrel but the remainder of the blaster looks good, particularly where a head from BB-9E faithfully recreates the flash suppressor! Six years is a long time in LEGO design, so 75288 AT-AT has the potential to offer something worthy of fans’ attention. — Set details —The design itself is not as good as it should be. I think it looks rather crude and unfinished with all the large gaps between the panels and sections. The dark grey coloring, however, really suits this vehicle and I wish I could see the old Imperial AT-AT in this color as well. On 9th November 2021 LEGO revealed their next instalment into the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series in the form of a giant AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport). The set has a total of 6,785 pieces which firmly puts it very near the top of the biggest LEGO set list.

A winch is included towards the front of the body, which allows Luke Skywalker to be raised beneath the AT-AT, as if he is grappling up to hurl in a thermal detonator. It’s much better than the way this was portrayed in 8129 AT-AT Walker and makes for a well-executed, relevant play feature. There’s even a gap to represent where he slashed with his lightsaber to make a hole for the bomb. I was a proud owner of 4483 from day one but exchanged it against 75054 when that came out. I still like 75054 a lot and I'm not going to exchange it against this, even if this seems to be superior. It's only slightly superior, I think. Not such a big step up. These inaccuracies are disappointing, especially since LEGO has produced appropriate attire for Snowspeeder pilots before. Nevertheless, the torso and legs are both highly detailed and Luke's helmet looks good, featuring Rebel Alliance symbols alongside authentic hazard stripes. The dual-moulded helmet from 75218 X-wing Starfighter remains exclusive to the 2018 set.The final product will not come apart unless you are really careless but the designers could have done a better job nevertheless. The All Terrain Armored Transport (commonly known as the AT-AT Walker) was the largest and most heavily armored ground vehicle in the Imperial military. We saw them in the Original Trilogy (Battle of Hoth & briefly in Return of the Jedi), in Rogue One, and most commonly in the animated series Rebels. Shortly after the motorized AT-AT Walker set from 2007 was retired in 2010, the LEGO community received a new regular version. It came cheaper than the previous model which is always rare for a re-designed set but it also has around 200 fewer parts. Compared to the original 2003 version, it does not stand even close in terms of authenticity.

The moving panel that provides access to the main body’s interior is great – it pulls out and then can be pushed up out of the way, allowing full access to the troop area no matter how big your fingers are. There are five seats inside, so anyone who has extra Snowtroopers can load it up. It’s probably better to have extra chairs than the trapdoor that was included in 75054 AT-AT. Unfortunately, part of Luke's double-sided head remains visible underneath the helmet. His alternative expressions look superb though, displaying different smiles and featuring an open visor on one side. This minifigure includes a blue lightsaber, a printed thermal detonator and a grapnel launcher, although the latter accessory is cleverly integrated with the AT-AT. This set, however, has one or two positive features that we have to mention. The first one is the minifigure selection. Compared to the previous two versions which had 4 minifigures each, here there were 8 including C-3PO, Han Solo, and the less common General Veers.

Overall, the build itself is impressively diverse for a set with identical sections. It also has a great design despite not being really accurate. Honestly, when you take out the smaller size and the less diverse minifigure selection, I would definitely recommend this set more than the previous version. Overall, this was a good set which received a fair amount of criticism for its price. After all, you got 200 less pieces for just about the same price. It did have a decent minifigure selection which apparently was not good enough for the LEGO community. For this particular reason, I would not recommend this set to collectors who look for a display piece. I would rather suggest getting the older version or one of the next ones. Most UCS sets tend to be made for display with very few play features. This is far from just a display piece. Almost every panel is removable, revealing a highly detailed interior with many play features.
