Lego 4482 - AT-TE

The All-Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE) made its first appearance in Star Wars Ep. II: Attack of the Clones. It is a multi-purpose assault vehicle capable of transporting battalions of troops or full-scale assault. The design reminds me of a fearsome rhinoceros beetle.

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

Lego 7250 - Clone Scout Walker

This set was released in 2005 as part of the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith line. I bought this as a brand new set from Toy Station in Serene Centre for S$19.90. There are 108 pieces in all, including some unique printed bricks.

The walker is based on the All Terrain Recon Transport (AT-RT) seen in several Star Wars films, comic books and video games. It features an open cockpit for a single driver and cannons which swivel. Unfortunately, it is not to scale and is much larger than it should be.

One mini-figure of a clone trooper in Episode III armour is included. A unique feature of this figure is the 91st Recon Corps. markings consisting of a red circle and a sword pointing downwards through it which is only available from this set. It would have been more appropriate for a Kashykk trooper to be riding this as portrayed in the film.

Overall, it is well-designed. You would be able to build a whole division of walkers if you buy several of these sets.
