Today I would like to show you one of my favorite LEGO Star Wars sets that just got released recently, the #75019 LEGO Star Wars AT-TE. This most recent wave of LEGO Star Wars sets is solely based on Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, where Obi-Wan Kenobi finds out that on the planet Kamino a whole clone army is being made on the order of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The #75019 LEGO Star Wars AT-TE is from the First Battle of Geonosis, as seen in the film. So let’s check it out! 🙂
First of all here is the official description of the #75019 LEGO Star Wars AT-TE from LEGO’s website: Win the Battle of Geonosis with the AT-TE! As the Battle of Geonosis rages on, the clone commander boards the heavily armored LEGO Star Wars AT-TE with Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Coleman Trebor. Take them deep into the battle with the AT-TE’s lifting handle and cool poseable legs. Open the cockpit to put a minifigure behind the wheel, then fire the 2 moving laser-cannons and rotating top-mounted projectile-cannon with dual flick-missiles! Lift the top hatch for extra flick-missiles! Climb the access-ladder through the opening rear hatch to reach the cargo box with thermal detonators. Lead every LEGO Star Wars battle with this ultra-tough space tank. Includes 5 minifigures with weapons: Battle Droid, Battle Droid Commander, Mace Windu, Coleman Trebor, and a Clone Commander. 794 pieces. Price: $89.99
Now let’s look at the minifigures in a bit more detail. There are the two Jedi: Mace Windu with a purple lightsaber and Jedi robes, and Coleman Trebor with a green lightsaber and a dinosaur-like head-piece (even though he died before the clones came). The third minifig is the Clone Commander, who fits perfectly into the cockpit and has a pretty neat weapon. He has the Episode II clone face, which is new for 2013. The last two minifigures are the battle droids, coming straight from the Geonosis droid factory. They have a very nice dark-orange color, and the Droid Commander has some yellow markings to show its rank.
As far as the LEGO Star Wars AT-TE walker itself, it is a very well designed model with lots of details and functions. The front cockpit where the Clone Commander can sit slides out very smoothly, and when out, you can see the little stick pieces that make up the controls. The gun on top of the AT-TE can fit another minifig (I use a clone from a previously released LEGO Star Wars battle-pack). If you lift up that compartment, there are four extra flick-missiles; 2 blue and 2 green, which are very useful in a heated battle. At the back compartment there are two gun holders and a box that holds two thermal detonators. The compartment can also hold two minifigs.
The legs of the AT-TE are done really well; the front and back ones have to be in a certain position, but the middle ones just kind of dangle, so you don’t have to worry about positioning those. It is the legs that the model is named after; All Terrain Tactical Enforcer, because the feet move you can have it climb up and over objects in its path. One of the best bit of the AT-TE is the handle; you can fit two fingers on it – one either side – and imagine that a LAAT (Low Altitude Assault Transport) is carrying it. 🙄
You can get the #75019 LEGO Star Wars AT-TE, along with other recently released LEGO Star Wars sets at the Online LEGO Shop.
As I mentioned at the beginning this is my favorite LEGO Star Wars set in this wave, and in fact one of my most favorite LEGO sets. What do you think? How do you like the LEGO Star Wars AT-TE? Is there another recently released LEGO Star Wars set that you prefer? Feel free to share in the comment section below! Also, I’m a TFOL (Teen-Fan-of-LEGO) and this is my second article here at theBrickBlogger. You can read my first post here: LEGO Galaxy Squad Eradicator Mech Review. Thanks for reading! 🙂

Awsome Dude!
just what i wanted to see after a day of boring school MY POST! but i took out my joke 🙁 oh well. admin just wondering can my next post be a game review? id love to do chima speedorz
TYPO I put I insteand of u, my ipod always makes typos
Benny, you mean you had a joke in there? I don’t remember that. I sometimes re-word stuff when I feel something is not clear enough (always remember that we have a lot of international readers for whom English is not their first language), and sometimes I do take out a sentence of something that I don’t understand myself. Anyway, what was the joke? I just don’t remember. 🙄
Sure, you can review whatever you want. It is a good idea to check with the others to make sure they are not planning to review the same sets, but other than that, just go for it. 😉
yea I put the droids, straight from the droid factorys on geonosis or in this case lego factorys, well I found it funny but..
Benny, that’s still in there. Third paragraph, where you talk about the minifigs. 😉
if u look the lego factory bit isn’t there
Oh, I see what you mean! Sorry about that! I do remember working on that part and somehow missed it. 😳
me and my younger brother combined money to buy the chi battles set that comes with waks and longtooth 😀
one time when my older brother brot some lego sets and me and my sister each got a minifigures bag we got a free speederz set with waks and longtooth (my little brother got the good guy and i got the bad guy)
Nice review again benny 😀 I would get this set if it wasn’t for the fact that I get £20-£60 sets myself and ask for the higher priced sets for birthdays and Christmas. 🙂
Off topic but my mum got a package today whilst I was at school and the box was by the dining table (unpacked obviously) and had the LEGO bubble rap thing in it from where she had opened the box and put it in. Birthday present? It was quite big and about the same size as the box jek-14s starfighter came in fingers crossed its something epic! 😀
thanks, I hope it is jek-14 starfighter I want that set for the figs. im gonna ask for every single geonosis set for Christmas and money for 2014 sets 😛
I already have jeks starfighter i meant box size. 😉
Which suggests a £70+ set perhaps or a couple of smaller ones
same here im so excited for the entire geonosian wave of sets thatsball i want for christman
Now, don’t go peaking! That would be very bad! (Not that I don’t do it.) 🙄
Oh yeah, while we’re talking about Jek-14, here’s a piece of wizened advice: If you do not want the Yoda Chronicles ruined for you, DO NOT buy the Yoda Chronicles book, or at least not yet, or don’t read the part about Jek-14. It tells of the final fate of Jek-14! Seriously! I totally regretted reading that part! The Special Forces Clone Trooper is cool though…
Let me guess he becomes good. Don’t actually tell me though 😉
I find the ending fairly satisfactory. Here’s a little about him. He’s someone who’s been created literally to be used for evil, but he sort of has a moral good in him. So, he has a raging internal conflict inside of him that will span the series, as he face the dilemma of whether he should continue to serve Dooku and Palpatine or if he should defect and join Yoda…
Don’t tempt him. It is really best not to know. I read the book too. 😉
I agree, Jek-14 should remain a mysterious character to fully enjoy the series.
Well turns out it was a food order…… That’s embarrassing 😳
Seriously i saw my mum had got the Spanish food she ordered and it came today….. In that box. I feel dumb
Food is overrated. It should have been LEGO. 🙄
Nice review! It looks like a really nice set! I really like the Mace Windu fig in this. And the Orange Battle Droids are a nice addition 🙂
cool set! anything star wars is totally AWESOME! does anyone else agree with me? 😀
obviously
@benny: Nice Sev avatar 😀
thanks jay-mouth its my steam avater and tf2 spray aswell so I think I might change it LOL
cool review, set looks awepic 😛
“One of the best bit of the AT-TE is the handle; you can fit two fingers on it – one either side – and imagine that a LAAT (Low Altitude Assault Transport) is carrying it. ”
Actually, the Old version of the AT-TE could attatch to the LAAT, so this one might be able to too. 🙂
Yeah I wondered that too 🙂
no it doesn’t, my friend got it before it came out and he told me it cant.
