I received this for my 11th Birthday. I'm a Star Wars Lego fan & this is the best set I've ever made.

Pros: The inside is very interesting because you can fit soldiers and vehicles inside. The whole thing is detailed. The legs can move. Comes with 1,068 pieces. It looks like how it does in the movie. It's for ages 14+ and I could still build it.

Cons: It's fragile. If you knock it over you have to put the body back onto the legs and fix the head (not too hard to fix). It takes 3 to 4 hours to build. It's also expensive.

I highly recommend this toy for anyone who's 10 or older. I think you can build it yourself.

I used Christmas as an excuse to buy myself this set and "gave" it to my son as a present. We had hours of fun putting it together and did some serious father-son bonding. A 5 year old is easily impressed by a 33 year old Lego Master. The set is definitely not for beginners nor will it stand up to the daily abuse a 5 year old calls play. As another dad mentioned, the head falls off WAY too easily. (A minor removal of two bricks from the neck helps the tiny stem that connects the head to the body give it a better grip. Helps, but doesn't solve the problem.) But that AT-AT looks really cool when placed along side his X-Wings, Tie Fighter and numerous other Star Wars pieces. It is a must for Star Wars Lego collectors of all ages.

The other reviewer admonishes us to be sure to play with this set, but I have found that to be pretty difficult because the AT-AT model is kind of fragile. Don't get me wrong, this is a very, very cool looking set. But it is mostly for Star Wars fans and adult LEGO fans. And those of you know that you must have this set for your collection.

If you are looking for good LEGO sets to play with, then I would recommend the Make & Create line instead.

This is by far the best set LEGO? ever made. LEGO? put so much detail on the exterior that if there wasn't so much dark grey it would probably look like the real thing! My main complaint is the head. The sides open so easily because they just don't lock in. I have sort of made a solution to it but it still doesn't totally lock. Try replacing that odd shaped red piece that is supposed to "lock" in the sides with a 1x2x1 panel and alter the position of the corner panel next to it. Also it falls off REALLY easily! Try removing one of the round pieces on the neck. I helps, but doesn't solve the problem. Though you can't make it walk the legs can be positioned in many cool ways. But keep this set away from toddlers, for it is very fragile. My 4 year old sister was running down the stairs, barely touched my model, and it fell over and broke. Luckily I was able to rebuild it. It took me about 3-4 hours to build and wasn't too difficult except for that every once in a while there will be a pretty difficult step. I was 11 when I built this so I don't totally agree with reccomended ages 14+. It should be 11-12+. Not the best set for younger fans, but for older fans, this set ROCKS!

Even big kids can't resist this set. A must have for collectors. Just don't accidently tip it over. It is top heavey. Looks great on display, but don't plan on being able to actually make it walk. Cool snowtrooper figures are exclusive to this set along with one of a kind ATAT driver.

This is by FAR the best Lego i have EVER gotten. It is SO durable. A note to people who said the head falls off easily:LOCK IT IN! You know that little piece with the 1 on it? LOCK THAT INTO THE CIRCLE! I got it for Christmas and the head hasn't fallen off yet! That is because i locked everything in! Anyway, the legs can't really walk, but you can move them in cool ways. And it is so fun to play with. A bad thing is that the guns on the sides of the head fall off sometimes. I would recomend this Lego to everyone ages 11+. Something fun to do is put this beside the Millenium Falcoln Lego. They are only 81 pieces apart from each other, but look how much taller the AT-AT is!

TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is by far the best set the LEGO Company ever made!!!!! It looks so cool on display, too! But when 4 year olds come to play, move this set out of the way, for it is very fragile. The head comes off so easily because it is only attached by one lame piece. LEGO probably made it realistic because in episode 5 Luke throws a bomb at the at-at's head and it falls off. This is also a very detailed set. I would reccomend this set to any LEGO Star Wars fan ages 9 and up! Hope this helped!!

This was an awesome set. I recieved it for my birthday and have not stopped playing with it since! The set looks exactly like the real AT-AT, but being a huge star wars fan, I noticed the problems right away. The limit to only having 4 troops and a pilot was very dissapointing, the AT-AT in the movies can hold 40 troops, 5 Speeder bikes, two pilots and a commander. Otherwise, there are a few problems with it -the head falling off and the body falling off the legs- but it can be easily fixed with other peices - my lego AT-AT does not fall apart. All in all, this was the best set I have ever recieved, and I highly recomend it for any star wars fan.

I freaked out when I got the Star Wars AT-AT. It takes a lot of time though. But any way all of my friends are comeplaning when you touch the cocpit and it falls off. I think the lego company is just making it realistic because in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Luke Throws a thermal detanater in side the AT-AT. But put it some where safe when little kids come over to play trust me I know what happens and I think you do to it BREAKS!! So try this one and if you like it good job you have chose bum bum bum bum The Best Lego Ever!

I always ask for Legos at Christmas, being 19 kinda makes people disinclined to buy them for me, but this year I got this set! It's wonderful the sheer size of it makes just building it a fun and rather long experience. It's not really the best set for young kids but for the older Lego addicts this is the best way to go.
