Lego Star Wars: AT-ST Ultimate Collector Series (1,513 Pieces)
$200 | Releases August 1
The All Terrain Scout Transport, better known as AT-ST, has been part of the Star Wars movie universe since The Empire Strikes Back. The 1,513-piece building set creates a detailed replica that looks quite similar to the AT-ST from Return of the Jedi.
The completed build measures 14.5 x 8.5 x 8.5 inches and has multiple interactive components, including an openable top hatch covering the cockpit, a rotating head, viewport shutters, and adjustable laser cannons. The AT-ST is well-known for its unique gait that resembles a chicken. Lego’s AT-ST has articulated legs, so you can move it around like a real chicken walker.
As an Ultimate Collector Series set, this AT-ST has a myriad of small details that you won’t find on transport walkers in Lego’s playsets. The spacious two-person cockpit has finer details that make it more aligned with its appearance in the movies. UCS builds also take a more thoughtful approach when it comes to layering and visible studs, and the promotional images reflect that here. The build process is generally more complex with an Ultimate Collector Series set, so the AT-ST and UCS sets are recommended for experienced builders ages 18 and up.
Like all UCS Star Wars builds and other large-scale display models, the AT-ST comes with an information plaque and a minifigure. Appropriately, the minifigure for this kit is an AT-ST Driver.
