I recently bought New 4483 in opened box (black version), but with sealed polybags. I paid about 371$ with shipping. Still waiting for UCS AT-AT.

Yes! Perfect. Thanx!

I honestly don't see much/any improvement on 75054. I was hoping we'd see something a little more spectacular for the big anniversary.

I have been trying to be very picky with Star Wars and only getting the sets that I really want, like MF, XW, TF etc. And this is one of them!
I like the addition of a speeder bike and a small cannon, but a little mystified by the change from 1 driver / 3 snow troopers to 2 and 2 though, as noted above, they can both fit in the cockpit with General Veers, so that makes sense. I'll probably have to pick up an additional snow trooper or two though.
Build-wise, I think this looks slightly better than the 2014 version at first glance. The head looks slightly nicer, with the dishes on the side of the head, which match the "real" version better.
Perhaps not a "Day 1" purchase for me, but a "Definite" purchase, at some point.

Even though this new one does indeed look a little better, I'll stick with my 75054 as well as my motorized walking one thank you very much.
If someone hasn't got an AT-AT already though, and is not interested in waiting for a possible UCS version, AND doesn't care about how overpriced this will be, then it can be quite a nice idea.

People are saying possible UCS... How likely is that to happen, anyone got a link to something or is it more a case of just wishful thinking?

How much bigger is this one compared to the 2014 version

I was convinced this would be a minuscule disappointment, so delighted to be wrong. As soon as I saw three figures in the cockpit I was sold.

I really do not like the look of this...the head is somehow angular in a wrong way...and there is something about the legs...great there are chairs inside the at-at,but that is not enough to justify as having an interior...nice to fit 3 figs inside the head,but that is it...

It’s good to see an AT-AT back and this version looks pretty good to me. It may highlight how tricky it is to bring anything new to the table with it but that highlights what a great job they did with it even back in 2003.
Like any model kit of an iconic vehicle it’s good to have it available to buy if you want it and similar enough to previous versions that skipping it won’t make anyone who has one already salty.
As for the price... my that mouse must dine on expensive cheese to demand such a fat licence fee! He’ll need it at the moment I suppose though...

@shirhac said:
"Hmm... two drivers, one commander... Could it be possible to fit them into the cockpit alltogether?"

There is a picture out there that shows this is a feature of the set so yes they can :)

If it's $160 I can justify the expense then again, I will buy the Blockade Runner for $200 but while this beast has 6 figures and can accurately seat 3 of them in the cabin I can't believe I bought the original AT-AT for $100 in 2003 (what has more versions this or the MF?). It's a shame it isn't an AT-ACT.

Purely based on the minifigs - awesome! That comes from the perspective of a highly biased lover of Imperial forces. The model doesn’t really set my world alight.

WRT discussions about a UCS AT-AT.... (which I don’t think will ever happen IMO) how about a compromise utilising a diorama with some iconic parts of the AT-AT? For example, a highly detailed UCS styled head and tunnel section from a destroyed vehicle? Possibly with a single part buried foot pad? Maybe jungle or desert scenery rather than Hoth to get more colours into play?

Gundam have done such sets to integrate 1:35 scale humans with parts of massive mobile suits.

Oh, and the evolution of the Imperial Snow Speeder Bike is good to see. I think the angled tiles are a nice replacement for the road signs previously used for the front steering vanes. Gives it a heavier, chunky feel.

It’s a nice update overall but I feel this version has missed leg day once too often.

AGREED!

It just goes to show how inured Lego SW fans have become to the SW tax. This is not just 'a little expensive'. This is a ludicrous price point. Bookshop 10270 is currently 179.99 with DOUBLE the piece count!!!

I would love to have an AT-AT at some point, but come on guys? Really?"

You wouldn't understand the devotion we have to all things Star Wars.

nobody has pointed this out yet, but that turret looks really cool. It is made from those really nice guns, mostly used in the CMFs, and an airjitsu blade thingymajig, which was only previously available in Ninjago.

@Slobrojoe said:
"I know we talk about having more bad guys, but 5 to 1 is a stretch, even for Luke."

Well 3 of them are in the AT-AT, and then the other two are on the ground. So it wouldn't be too hard for Luke to take em' on.

Does anyone know if the pilot helmets are the newer mold? I can’t tell if they’re the newest one or the older ones.

There isnt a UCS one because making one that is proportional, UCS-scale, and sturdy enough to pass Lego's strict QC standards, is impossible with exiting pieces. The reality is, all the great MOCs of UCS-scale AT-ATs you see, would not work as actual sets."

I just built the 2,500 Plus Size At-At off Rebrickable and it could absolutely be a UCS set. It's sturdy with posable legs and the snowspeeders look great compared to the size of it. The only issue is the price of the light bley 5x5 scala dishes but that could be modified fairly easily

I have the AT-AT from 2014, set 75054
This new 2020 set looks a bit different, and I like it a lot. I don't know if I like it better than the one I have, but this is definitely a set I am tempted to buy. The inclusion of the speeder and tri-pod cannon are nice touches. The general Veers minifig is nicely updated, but I like the 2014 snowtroopers with cloth kama's better. The 2014 set also contains a snowtrooper commander with different torso print. It is a bit silly to include Luke Skywalker, when there are only 6 minifigs in this set. I would have preferred more snowtroopers instead.
Interesting to see how they managed to design this cockpit with room for three minifigs. My 2014 set has room for two minifigs but that is already so cramped.
This new set has 130 more Lego elements than my 2014 set, curious to see if, and how much taller and/or detailed this 2020 set is.

I agree with others, that if this set will be actually priced at $190 or perhaps !?!? €180 in Germany, the Netherlands, France etc. that that price point is just totally insane!
My 2014 AT-AT 75054 had a RRP of €129,99 in the Netherlands, I am not sure, but I might have bought this set at a Dutch toyshop somewhere on special offer for 15% or 20% less, not long after this set was released.

I have the original from circa 2003, and this is the first one that has come out since then that looks as good as that original.

@The_Brickster_ said:
"might be in the minority, but I really liked it."

I think most people like it but feel its either:
- too expensive
- too similar to the last one
- enough differences to justify purchasing it but they already have an AT-AT and they’d quite like to keep their money
- Not an original set when other things haven’t been made (E.G. An AT-ACT

75288 - 1276 pieces - $189.99? "

Agreed. One extra minifigure, an extra 139 pieces and 6 years of inflation doesn't account for that jump. Silly really.

Looks great. Massive improvement over the 2014 one, even in minifigures!

If the price is £150 their is no way it will sell well. Thats crazy for 1,200 pieces!

Yes! Finally something for the 20th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. Minifigure Selection looks great, the price is - as usually - crazy.

Why is the snow trooper with the tri-pod cannon shooting in the wrong direction on the box front? Did he not get the memo?

Very nice, does an AT-AT have two pilots though? Can’t remember.

Provided some kind souls make some baseline instructions on modding for Kashyyk claimable mode, this is Xmas winner material - move over Luke, Kal is getting the attention

That's more like it lego hope there are more decent ones because January's sets were mediocre and most of them looked like juniors sets!!

as i'm missing an AT-AT in my collection, it's a must-buy . . . probably wait for either double VIP points or i'll cash some in for it

Is that a 4x4 dish with an open stud on the side of the head? I must be mistaken, because there are regular 4x4 dishes on the legs, but I can't figure out what other piece it would be.

I have similar feelings about this to the latest Luke's Landspeeder - looks good and seems to have some improvements over the previous version. If you don't already have one in your collection it seems like an easy buy (depending on actual retail price of course). Having said that I'll pass as like a few here I've already got 75054 and I built Raskolnikov's Plus-Size AT-AT MOC too.

Looks okay, not remarkably different from the previous version (slightly wider though) so won't look out of place next to the older version. Definite buy at the right price.

@Snazzy_Bricks was worried that it would be a Juniors one, and I can say we're both happy it isn't! Looks great!

^$140 would be so much better

@paulioscorchio said:

Yes, during the Hoth battle in ESB we see General Veers standing behind two drivers on the AT-AT bridge.

(1) Squarely in the camp of "missed out on previous versions during the dark ages, so definitely want a new AT-AT." (2) We paid $150 RRP for the 1,376-piece (with 5 minifigures) 75189-1: First Order Heavy Assault Walker in 2017, so I would hope that the price of this AT-AT (100 pieces less, but with an additional minifigure) is comparable.

I got used to the First Order ones, this looks weird...
Still cool though.

75075 still the best

Now if they just re-release the AT-M6 and give it the proper size scale over the AT-AT.

What a surprise!

Although, they still have not surpassed the accuracy of the build and shape of the original 4483 AT-AT in my opinion, but nice for collectors nowadays to have access to the walker.

Weird how no one at Lego seems able to replicate or just strictly improve upon the proportions of 4483. The legs are the main problem on this one. They just do not look robust enough. Way too scrawny.

Ouch, $190? I was lucky to find my copy of 4483 at Target on clearance for $50 in 2004. And it still dominates my Lego walkers, wearing that old light and old dark gray with pride!

I anticipate the day Lego releases a UCS AT-AT that is close to minifigure scale and just knocks the model out of the park, like the Slave I. But I shudder at what the price would be!

Looking good although i still prefer the AT-M6

$190?!?! Iv'e been hearing $160

If there are more Clone Wars sets I'm getting those instead

I would beg to differ there. Have you seen The Last Jedi? He flat out wrecks a fleet of AT-ATs single handidly."

Yes I have seen TLJ, but did he wreck the AT-ATs? No. He just distracted them and then became ‘One with the force’, so your point is invalid."

You mean the AT-M6... ;)

I still have this one https://brickset.com/sets/4483-1/AT-AT and I don't see a big improvement. It's even the same parts on almost all the structure.

Is it just me or does the printing on General Veers helmet look.. off?

Well, for one thing, the legs are disproportioned to the body where it's too skinny and should be thicker. But asides from that flaw it's a decent set. I really like the figures and the parts used in this set. For those waiting for a UCS AT-AT why not just make the MOC versions out there? LEGO will not and has not even been able to make one that is even close to being as good as the good MOC versions out there (bc of there restrictions obviously). Yeah MOC's are much more expensive and more tedious to collect the parts, but definitely worth it if you want a true UCS model. But I guess MOC's are too overkill accurate where LEGO sets are just good enough for most. Still, I hope some of you guys try out to build these MOC's, even the small ones.

Don't worry, he's just an astral projection. ;)

For those complaining about the price...

At the same website the Boba Fett helmet is 9500 Yen (=approximately €81) and the Millennium Falcon is slightlt less than 21000 Yen.

So I guess it will be closer to €150 (which is still rather expensive).

Actually there is technically a UCS variant. It’s motorized if I’m not mistaken.

Very cool. I bought 75189 a few years ago and so probably would give this one a miss (although I do prefer this model).

@magmafrost:
I tried pointing that out on another comment board, and you wouldn't believe how many people hopped on to tell me how wrong I was. But imagine the lawsuit if someone tried to display one on a shelf and it fell onto a kid.

@TheMikeAwakens:
That's...exactly what that looks like. And really weird that they'd include both. But they've had times in the past when they tried to make a running mold change and incorporate one version or the other in a set, and anyone who got the other version couldn't actually build it right.

Awesome and amazed by this news, saw it last night on brothers-brick. Always wanted an AT-AT so really glad this is coming back and looks better than ever. 14.9c per piece though seems a bit high. Others on youtube have thought it will be $160 when it comes out. more like 12.6c which seems reasonable. Hoping it's the latter. $190 then it should be a UCS set!

This does look really good, but I already have the 2010 variant.

Lego did a good version with the 5th generation AT-AT. Love the play features, especially the "Luke wench". Regarding a UCS AT-AT, I hypothesize that Lego could use the same technique as the Voltron shoulder for the AT-AT legs at UCS scale and make it work.

Let me remind you that a rumoured price for it is $160. I'd expect 150/140 pounds in the UK.

I've never had an AT-AT and I'm really tempted to get this one, but not at a ridiculous price. I guess I'll have to wait until it goes on a deep discount and perhaps save VIP points to help justify the purchase. It's going to be a long wait, no rush though.

@Brickodillo said:
"How much bigger is this one compared to the 2014 version"

It's mostly just a wider body at 8 studs across the top. The proportions look more robust.

Regarding the price, don’t take it at face value. I live in Japan and can assure you that Amazon JP’s preorder prices are always super high- they drop at least 10% in the first few days, sometimes even more (biggest drop that I can remember was 19%). I learnt that the hard way and stopped preordering after that...

Looks great but there is no way I'll pay $190 US for this. That's absurd, that's almost the price of a UCS set. I'll either wait until it's on sale or just pass.

@shirhac said:
"Hmm... two drivers, one commander... Could it be possible to fit them into the cockpit alltogether?"

yes, on the back of the box it shows all three together!

This looks great,
I can't wait for it to come out.

They could adapt the leg joint the the Jurassic Park T-Rex set to build a sturdier joint and give it more stability.

Hard pass at that price. Heck even 20% off isn't good enough, I'll stick with the previous one.

I am wondering, who is target group of this set? Children? Don't think so, normal 7 six year old kids no idea what is a AT-AT. AFOLs? They have received 4-5 AT-ATs previously... I thought Lego is about creativity, but this set is a proof of lack of creativity of lego designers? No, TLG is about business, and if everone hype a set just beacuse it is new and they willing to pay 50-70% more money then the same previous set, than I think they are right.

According to my pre-orders UK retail is £140

Ah, good ol’ General Veers. The only competent Imperial shown onscreen.

Am I wrong or AT-AT sets are worse and worse every year

This pleases me.

@peterlmorris:
No, the Death Star Gunners manning the main cannon hit their target the first time. They just didn't have enough time to charge up for the second shot.

I've been waiting for a new AT-AT after failing to track down the last one at MSRP, but this one is a big price jump and I think I'm more likely to track down a previous version instead to add it to my collection. Hopefully a 'better' version being on shelves will bring the price down a bit. Might pick up the new Veers though...
