LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series AT-AT

Today, the LEGO Group announced the new #75313 LEGO Star Wars AT-AT set – the latest launch in the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) line-up and a must-have for fans of LEGO and Star Wars.

The AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) first appeared in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, its huge presence appearing over the horizon on the icy fields during the Battle of Hoth, ready to attack the Rebel Alliance’s shield generator. Nothing like it had ever been seen before, and the Galactic Empire’s ground forces used the AT-AT’s gigantic size to overpower the Rebellion and ultimately destroy Echo Base.

This immense new LEGO model is massive in size and detail, paying homage to the gigantic vehicles in the film. It features 6,785 pieces, a movable head, spinning guns, adjustable legs, and side panels that open to reveal amazingly detailed interiors. The overall size is 62cm / 24.5 inches high, 69cm / 27 inches long, and 24cm / 9.5 inches wide.

In addition, the set comes with nine minifigures and accessories, including Luke Skywalker (along with a wire so fans can recreate the famous scene of him swinging from an AT-AT’s underside in an attempt to thwart their attack), General Veers, two AT-AT drivers, a Snowtrooper Commander and four Snowtrooper minifigures, as well as two speeder bikes and an E-Web cannon set accessories — plus plenty of interactive elements and Easter eggs! An amazing set for display or action, the set can also fit an army of Snowtrooper minifigures inside – 40 in total.

Even the unboxing is a rewarding experience, as the packaging displays beautiful imagery of the final set from all angles. Whilst all the pieces are stored in four internal boxes, which combined show the famous Battle of Hoth scene.

A must-have for any dedicated Star Wars fan, this model has been designed by legendary LEGO Design Master Henrik Andersen. Discussing the design, Andersen said, “The mega-sized LEGO Star Wars AT-AT set is the one everyone has been waiting for, and it’s been a thrill to bring this highly-anticipated build to life. The AT-AT was an engineering masterpiece and the LEGO set will make an impressive display. But we have also packed in plenty of details that will deliver hours of fun for fans of LEGO and Star Wars alike.”

The set forms part of the Ultimate Collector Series, which also includes the #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon, the #75275 LEGO Star Wars UCS A-wing, and the recently released #75309 LEGO Star Wars UCS Republic Gunship.

The LEGO Star Wars AT-AT set is available from the 26th of November via official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. Prices are as follows: $799.99 / £749.99 / € 799.99. For more information and to purchase the set, visit the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.

BrickLink Designer Program Crowdfunding Round 2!

Get ready! The BrickLink Designer Program kicks off the second round of crowdfunding tomorrow, November 9th. Check out all nine candidate projects, and get ready to place your pre-orders at 12:00pm Pacific / 9:00pm CET. Only 10,000 of each project will be produced, and pre-orders are taken on a first-come basis. Details below.

In case you’re not yet familiar with the BrickLink Designer Program, you can read about it via the links at the end of this post, but in summary, a select group of LEGO Ideas projects that achieved 10,000 votes but weren’t chosen to become official LEGO sets, were given a second chance to become actual sets via this unique program. The first round of crowdfunding took place this summer and was very successful at getting pre-orders for the included project.

In the second round, which is beginning tomorrow, nine projects will be included; Mountain Windmill by Hanwas, Modular LEGO Store by Krisnow, Science Adventures by LegoAlatariel, Seasons in Time Calendar by BrentWaller, Retro Bowling Alley by avila, Ruined House by Kirteem, Clockwork Aquarium by Farquar, Quest Builder by legobouwer, and Venetian Houses by BlackQubit.

Just like in the first round, the first five projects to reach the threshold of 3,000 pre-orders will be produced. Successfully crowdfunded projects will become official BrickLink Designer Program sets. This means that only registered BrickLink members who pre-ordered will receive these exclusive sets. You can see detailed pictures, description, and prices for each of the projects at the BrickLink Designer Program Page.

If you’re interested in pre-ordering any of the projects, I suggest that you do it as soon as possible. Judging by the success of the first round, it’s possible that some of the projects will sell out fast. Please note that sets offered in Round 1 will ship in December 2021 or January 2022, and sets offered in Round 2 will ship starting in the third quarter of 2022. You can read more about the program on the BrickLink Designer Program FAQ Page.

What do you think? Did you pre-order any of the projects in Round 1? And are you getting anything from Round 2? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!
