This is the first release of the AT-TE by Lego from 2003, consisting of 646 pieces. I had won this from eBay and received it in the mail last week. I spent the weekend building it just to ensure that there were no missing pieces as it was in used condition even though it came with the original box. Fortunately, all necessary pieces were accounted for and the seller exceeded my expectations by even including the spare pieces that came with the set.
Plus points:
- Huge structure, suitable for display
- 4 Ep.2 clone trooper mini-figures
- Great design for mass driver cannon which pivots
- Inclusion of speeder bike is a nice touch
- Nice cockpit with green windows
- Easy removal of top allows access to the internal bits
- Relatively expensive now on the secondary market
Minus points:
- Decals, although thankfully not too many
- Legs are stable only in the standard standing position, not much leeway for movement
- Could do with a lot more clone troopers
- Other guns lack stability and could be better designed
- Overly large gaps in the armoured body
