Really fun to build! Anyone who has Lego's will love putting this one together. Watching it walk when your done with it is really really fun for anyone of all ages.

Best Motorized Lego for your Buy!

This lego is a great price. It really walks forward and backward. It also comjes with neat mini figures- Luke Skywalker, General Veers, ATAT pilot, and a snowtrooper with a rifle. It also comes with a grappling line to hang Luke. I give this durability a 4, since it did not walk until I fixed up a few gears. It is one of those toys that if you mess up one little piece it messes up the whole. The age one this really matters, I am thirteen and I needed a little help from my dad. Anyways this is a great buy with many customized features.

It's alive!!!!

I bought this for my husband on Father's Day. I was quite excited to see him put it together. He got the legs done within an hour or so and we tried to make the thin walk....and all it did was twitch. We hadn't hooked up the power yet, but we figured the legs should move without it. At this point I was prepared to call LEGO headquarters and complain at length. He continued to put it together while I moped and fumed about our new non-walking walker. Finally he got to the power-pack installation and we turned it on...................and IT WALKED! When we tried to move it earlier it was not able to turn the motor so it siezed, but we couldn't tell that because it appeared that everything was turning as much as it could. We were seeing what turned out to be the motion of the worm gear switching between forward and reverse.

This little model is wonderful. It walks in forward and reverse and the head moves back and forth as it walks. I can easily see this being modified into other walking robots and it gives a great example of how rotational motion can be transformed into linear motion. Plus it's kinda cute. Pew pew

Greate toy!!!

Best Lego Star Wars: AT-AT

2008-06-09
this is the most lookalike lego star wars vehicle. it even moves like the AT-AT in the movie. Great & innovative creation, Lego. It'll be even great if there is sound with movement.

Back to Planet Hoth and those AT-ATs!

Requires six "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 22.5"W x 15"H. 1,137 pieces.

Fun, Functional, and Fantastic

I just finished assembling Lego's motorized AT AT. Not only does it look fantastic, but it actually is fully mobile. After tweeking the gears and the legs a bit, I managed to get the AT AT to walk smoothly on my tile floors. It's not a toy for young children because of its fragility and small parts which can easily be swallowed, but for adult "kids", it is definitely a wonderful collectible that will provide many hours of fun.

Great fun

My 12 year old son thought the AT-AT was reasonably challenging to set up, but it was worth it. The walking is very wobbly and it seems to almost topple, but keeps itself upright. Walks best on carpet. Is delicate though which is why I rated it low on durability.

Lots of fun (even for us adults)

I haven't bought a LEGO set since I was a kid, but this set could not be missed. Lots of fun to build, and how cool is it to have a walking AT-AT when you're done? It will make a good present for my newphews too.

Good price, unlike the other collector sets which are in the multi-hundreds of dollars.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
