Grandson enjoys his Star Wars AT-TE Walker October 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My Grandson had been talking about this toy for several months. When
it arrrived at his house on his birthday he was excited. He has played
with it over and over and takes it with him when visiting me or his Aunts.
It appears to be a safe toy for an 8 year old and very durable. If your
child loves Lego's and Star Wars then you can feel safe obtaining this for the child.
A lot of fun! September 26, 2008

I would recommend this walker for anyone who is really into LEGO Star Wars. It has space for your own additional clones in the back. (This set only comes with 2 clones, so I added 4 of my own.) It has really cool hidden missiles that fire with the lift of 2 of the front guns. One thing I didn't like is that you can't make it walk very well with your own hands. But it can be posed well, especially on a bumpy bed. I like this toy and my dad plays it with, too. (Reviewed by a 10-year-old boy.)
pretty cool for kids September 23, 2008

bought for my sons 10 th b.day he loves star wars & legos so its a great match. he is a very smart little guy it's a three dimensional challenging puzzle that teaches him how to follow directions and advances his reading & dexterity skills (& patience) i would would recommend it as a cool toy w/some educational benifits.

A Good Excuse to Step it up August 8, 2008
Ryan Crout (Irvine CA, USofA)
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Now i know that the return of Lucas to the big screen this summer has a lot of people in a pinch, mostly about how it's an excuse for him to make more money and such (well it is...but hey, if it's good then who cares)
that being said, the upcoming clone wars was a perfect excuse to rerelease these two sets (the other being the republic gunship)
that being said
this thing is great, leaps and bounds above it's predecessor
the legs are actually prevented from falling like they did in the original, and they are slightly more accurate to the movie (just for those of us who are OCD about detail)
the cockpit still doesn't hold two clones, but they borrowed a little from the old Sith infiltrator and now the hatch opens and the seat the clone sits on slides out
both types of clones (the episode III and the new ones that come with it) can fit easily inside the compartement, but the hatch hinge is tough enough not to have things go falling out
in addition, this set has really stepped up the carrying capacity
while officially it can seat only eight people (one guy on the big gun, one pilot, two in the foreward compartment under the big gun and four in the aft) as well as store up to four extra guns, i've found that there is standing room for up to an additional seven minigigures, as well as two more sitting ones in the aft section, directly above either rear leg
in addition, this set is easily costomised, it works off a large H frame, with a center platform that runs the length of the vehicle and two smaller beams that jut out, allowing the armor plating (and any other armor plating desired) to be attatched
lastly, this thing is incredably spacious, with double roof hatches, where both rooves (or ceilings or whatever you want to call them) actually pivot up, allowing easy access by small hands (or long fingers) into either personell section
(also on an obvious side note, the four foreward facing swivel guns and the big cannon return, in addition to two more rear swivel cannons like in the movie)
now the unfortunates
first of all, the very design scheme that prevents the AT-TE from crashing under it's own weight also makes making it walk impossible
the best you can do on a constant basis is swivel the central legs back and forth
that beig said, the appearence of walking is still possible, but none of the foreward or rear legs will move any higher than shown on the box (or in the picture)
also, this thing comes with only six figures (which sounds like a lot till you break it down as follows)
1 Anakin
1 Ashoka (ani's padawan)
1 Rotta (mini jabba the hut, utterly pointless)
1 clone trooper (come on!!! it's a freakin troop carrier, it should have waaaay more!!!)
1 commander Rex (okay, he's pretty awesome, but his add on kilt prevents him from sitting or moving his legs beyond a limited range)
1 battle droid (mounted on a STAP, so he has no other guns)
so basicly, unless you've got more clones (like me, YAY for those clone trooper booster pack thingies) you're gonna have a big empty shell running around (well, not so much considering it can't actually walk...)
in addition, the entire core of the AT-TE is composed of this weird mechanism that basicly is a bunch of rollers that can assist in lifting up some sort of grab on bar
while this could be potentially awesome with a properly modified Gunship (in case you wanna recreate scenes from Episode II) it is rather pointless otherwise
on a more positive note though, this vehicle is hollow
while this may make you say "What? how does that help?" those of us with imaginations will realize that this means you can stand clone troopers all over the place (i know i already mentioned that) but there's another thing
the only part the armor covers is the top and sides, this means you can have clones sort of rapell down from underneath the AT-TE, have them drop off like soldiers and star attacking right away (which just sounds awesome to me, but hey, maybe it's just me)
all in all, this is a $60, that's about the right price for all the stuff you get,
unfortunately oil has jacked up the price of legos double and it now costs $80
still, if you're willing to spend the extra green, this thing is well worth it (if you've got clones and droids) so all in all a great addition to any battlefront (in joke) a child may make
