Is this Lego Star Wars AT-AT Walker one of the massive UCS sets? No, and given that the UCS AT-AT is retired, you'll have to pay four figures to get your hands on it. However, it is a seriously striking set, with a Snowspeeder flying around its legs in an effort to bring it down.

At 6.5 x 7.5 x 4.5 inches / 17 x 19 x 11 cm, it's just the right size to perch on a desk or a shelf. And, despite its size, it packs in a serious amount of detail. From its red 'visor' window to its giant, stomping feet, there's no mistaking this iconic Star Wars vehicle, and you'll get a real thrill out of watching it come together, piece by menacing piece.

Just looking at this set gives us the chills and despite its rope-based vulnerability, we can understand why the Empire unleashed it on Hoth. Not only will this mid-size Lego Star Wars AT-AT dominate a desk or shelf, but it boasts a more dynamic appearance than its bigger brethren, with a Snowspeeder wrapping a tow cable around its legs.

Key features: 525 pieces, 6.5 x 7.5 x 4.5-inches / 17 x 19 x 11 cm in size, for builders 18+, includes a smaller Snowspeeder model, wrapping cable around legs.

Price history: Released in January, this is the cheapest the set has ever been and we're surprised it was reduced this soon. It's also the same price at Walmart.

Price comparison: Amazon: $61.99 | Walmart: $64.95 | Best Buy: $61.95

Reviews consensus: This is a great little set and despite being mid-sized, it packs in plenty of detail. It's mostly a fun build and, once completed, the addition of the Snowspeeder makes for a suitably dynamic scene.

Space: ★★★½

✅ Buy it if: You want an impressive, dynamic model of this iconic Star Wars vehicle but don't want to spend a fortune.

❌ Don't buy it if: You're a collector who wants a towering, thousand-piece set. Consider picking up something from the Lego Star Wars UCS line.
