While I appreciate the approach of this kit being a Technic kit, really many larger regular kits could not be built without their Technic skeleton. The UCS Falcon, the Razor Crest, etc., are totally dependent on Technic elements. This approach made for a great review though.

ALL the big AT-AT sets have been Technic-dependent. It's the only way to economically achieve the volume and articulation.

The large Slave I model also uses a Technic framework to make it work, especially that angled part of the hull.

Did you pronounce lego sets kits?

I’ve built Lego sets my whole life but have never been on any forums, youtube videos and interacted at all with other Lego people so it surprised me that there was a small disconnect between Lego builders and technic builders

Unexpected part usage is always a nice surprise. The current Buzz Lightyear space ship has two of the new differential-hulls as engines... (red gears not included) :D

Now that I know it’s mostly technic, I actually want it. Buying it never crossed my mind before.

For me there is no LEGO without Technic. This is usually the best combination to achieve structure and form.

That set has a lot of technic structure inside and the legs are super strong

I wish they would already make a mechanised Technic version of it. 4 legged walker seems like the one of the easiest walkers to make

@urbanchomik

It may seem easy and Lego already produced a motorized AT-AT walker all the way back in 2007... buuut the hardest thing to get right with this walker is its complex walk cycle. In the movies it only moves one leg at a time which creates many stability issues. Lego went the easier way and built a simplified walk mechanism in their older model from 2007 which moves two legs at a time, resulting in a rather wonky, but still very functional walk cycle. But maybe one day they will release a new motorized walker with an improved, more accurate mechanism. ;)

The easiest walker are 6 legs vehicle : you always have 3 legs for stability, while 4 legs means either move one leg after the other, or partly unstable steps in your walking process... Might be easier to motorize with mindstorm, to get " cycle " of walk straight or turning, but still an inferno...

Very nice and compact review. The points you mention are exactly the ones why I much prefer the AT-AT above many other UCS sets. The fact that it’s minifig compatible is a very charming plus, too. A bit like 75060 Slave I, but a lot bigger…;)

13:00 very dramatic & serious facial expression “everything is connected”. Well done.

Besides the logistical reasons, using bright colours makes it much less easy to make mistakes during the building proces!

And much less easy to use the bricks for anything else than this set. Sorry but Lego sets should be just aas useful to built yor wn creations as the set.

Great review, I love your approach to this set as a Technic set, it's a really cool angle. I am also building mine from current part collection, I had to take a lot of sets apart to be able to get enough parts for it, and I even had to go and buy some extra parts, including those cool new rounded 6x6 gear racks, and a lot of those blue half-pins, I really underestimated this beast!

the way the ankles are genuinely the same mechanism that the real thing would have is beautiful.

The pink bricks in starwars sets is actually a kind of easter egg. The designers get cake when they include pink bricks in atarwars sets lol

I am very satisfied with my 75288 AT-AT. Best AT AT beside UCS version.

Your reviews are the best, I will be looking forward to your next videos as usual!

It always surprised me that many people aren't fans of mixing system and technic. To me it's just a great way to build. Are there any cool non-SW sets that do this sort of blending or is this mostly driven by them trying to get the authentic look right?

Thanks racingbrick for this review of the UCS AT-AT and as a fan of the technic / creator expert line, the AT-AT is very nice but I would take the 10294 lego because it is a wonderful lego.😍😍😍😍 The AT-AT rims look good on both lego 42110 and 42125 and you are right that the AT-AT is full of technic / creator expert bits.

First video I watch on this channel and I got to say your way of reviewing sets is amazing!!!

I’m not even a Star Wars fan but I just bought the Land speeder and really fancy this AT-AT

Always such a complete and useful review !

The interior looks like EXACTLY like the technical lay outs in the star wars books ( I wonder if I still have them!) Those were REALLY freaking cool :D !!!

Great review as always 🤩

Great video. I'm also happy about the lot of colors, not only when build a set the first time, even more when building it the second time. I do not have enough space so i have to disassemble the sets. When now building it a second time, it is much more easier with colored bricks.

I really enjoyed building this set. Great end product for displaying.

I watched this review and you made me buy it and i am trully happy for that.

Yet another phenomenal review from the man himself.

First video of yours that I've seen. Nice build and review. I've built a number of UCS sets and yes they all have a lot of technic pieces which makes sense because without them you'd never get the right strength to weight ratio or it would take so many more pieces that it eats into the profits.

Yep, Technic parts are the best to make a skeleton for large structures, that's why they are used in almost all bigger builds. What makes this one special is their usage to provide working functions.

great review! i got mine and built it under 12 hours, was the most enjoyable star wars set i ever built tbh.

Those new turntable pieces are nice.

Wow, great review! Trully amazing!

Whoa! That's a lotta technic 😲...I'm glad I didn't watch any other review of the AT-AT till now, this set had to be reviewed by a Technic reviewer like you or Sariel fo' sure ☺️...your humour had me cracking up as always 😆...was hoping for a shout out to our good friend Tiago too 😋, but maybe next time 🙏🏼

Wow unreal that's insane :O !

Absolutely magnificent

Very great Review! Liked it very much!

This was the first UCS Star Wars set I built [I have since built the UCS Star Destroyer and Falcon], and while the Falcon holds the slight edge for me as far as building and displaying goes, the AT-AT was a LOT of fun - and now I know why - it's mostly Technic! I love Technic builds! FWIW, the UCS Falcon had a great mix of greebling [details] and structural building, while the Star Destroyer was structure and then large panel after large panel, and it got boring. The AT-AT has all that, plus way more playability than the Falcon or SD. I hope future UCS Star Wars sets follow this model [pun intended] in having great building experiences with some playability and display options.

now I want one, looks fun to build

I dont actually watch someone build lego but this was so entertaining than i expected

4:17 nice reference to the behind the scene luke looking directly at the lightsaber

I really like your channel.. And the best way to prove it… I subscribed

Honestly it looks amazing. Just for being a good scale AT AT Build. In fact all I need now is a good place to put it cause I ran out of room

your accent is so calming, this is ASMR

Really wish I could afford this set it’s a work of art

The AT AT is my absolute favourite lego set ever. I am about to build the ¥Yamaha T 10 and this will be my first full Technics set.

Deffo my favourite Lego Star Wars set

This set is larger than my dog, wonder what she might do if I get this. Thanks for the excellent review Balazs 👍

Yes, the light wall pattern sticker was also added to 75156 Krennic's imperial shuttle!

i enjoy this content and i like your acsent keep up the good work !

I like those pieces with the internal gear teeth. I would love to get some internal ring gear pieces. There's alot of potential to build planetary gear sets which I have yet to see in a lego set.

Great video, really enjoyed it! I did want to point out that your middle row of seats is one stud to far to the side, it should be centered. I make that mistake all of the time with my builds and have to go back and pull things up and place them again.

I just love your outro music 🎸

I think those panels swap from orange to white on the legs to help distinguish front from back

@michielwerring5846

2 жыл бұрын

The panels are diagonal, as each upper leg mirrors its diagonal opposite. So the front-left and rear-right are identical and vice-versa. I suspect it's an ease-of-production thing, or to distinguish them during the assembly phase from the other diagonal.

great video!

I don't know if they changed the manual over time, but my recently bought one had the leg and lift-up advice in it's beginning as well. Great video :)

Comedic genius!

i love seeing the snowtroopers hang from the outside

Those orange technic panels come in handy for technic Mocs.

I love mixing technic Lego and system bricks to make more functional mocs.

I just received the r2d2 set from a few years ago. It has a really cool way to drop the middle leg down I think you’d appreciate if you have the 200 to use on it. Its about the size of larger technic vehicle and is a really cute display piece.

I love how it looks just like a birthday piñata when you take off the panels

I want this set!!!

21:05 Luke swinging around like that looks like the AT-AT has a dingleberry!

I have the Bucket Wheel Excavator and I thought THAT was huge. The AT-AT dwarfs it!

The only AT-AT sets to _not_ be Technic-in-disguise are the mini models (because tiny) and the Dark Side Developer Kit version (which isn't disguised).

holy gadunka this set is gorgeous

There ist a free manual of a stand for the UCS Falcon (it even works with the old one) and then it takes up far less space and even looks cool.

Awesome Content! :)

I actually like that its like Technic on the inside but doesn't look like Technic on the outside

thats a cool star wars t-shirt

You had me at pew pew pew

Does making a bearing out of new curved gear racks and round 1x1 tiles makes any sense? Or 60t turntable is not much smaller in comparison?

Keep up the content

I like how the Star Wars and Technic kind grew together. Before the SW theme was launched Lego Techic was mainly functional, the pieces were either used structural, mechanical or as a connection, the design was very barebones and generic. These days the Technic sets are more like a SW set, replicating a very particular vehicle with lots of effort and pieces dedicated to making it look right. I think we/Lego lost something valuable with that replacements, we could have had both the Lego Models/Replicas/Collection and the more functional Lego Technic. I have several Lego SW sets, most aren’t UCS. I wouldn’t classify the majority as Techic, as the technic parts are used mainly structural. The exemption are BD-1 and the X-wing (75301). BD-1 main feature is its Lego Technic Based posability, and for the X-wings is the synchronized open and closing of the wings. Come to thing if it Blacktron II also had Technic elements is some of it’s sets.

Damn now i want a at-at

4:28 the turntable is also used in the guardians of the Galaxy ship (model 76193) as part of its display base, while that ship isnt in the UCS collection it is definitely built with the same quality.

Late to the party with this one, but still a really fun/informative review. Great job capturing the building process, and features/easter eggs throughout the set. Could have said a little more about the leg positioning aspect as other than standing straight, the legs even with the technic infrastructure, gearing have difficult holding up the sheer amount of this thing, and can be prone to popping apart. For the cost I'm good with the significantly smaller/cheaper 2019 model. Also Landspeeder also needs a review lol.

not a fan of technic models to put on display but i do love making the structural parts from it for most bigger lego sets

cool video

Nagyon örülök neki, hogy végül összeraktad a készletet! Nálam nem is volt kérdés a vásárlás, amikor megláttam, hogy lesz, már tudtam, hogy megveszem. Az elérhetőség éjszakáján a gép előtt ülve vártam az 1 órát. Másnap (aznap) reggelre mentem dolgozni :). Sajnos volt egy kis csomagolási malőr, így egy Titanic érkezett, de később ez is megjött és karácsony napján sikerült is befejeznem. A legcsodálatosabb élmény volt, amit eddig összeraktam. Pedig a listán van olyan, mint a lambo, a liebherr markoló, sok autó, lánctalpasok és a Millenium Falcon is. Ami egy dohányzóasztalban van tárolva, a nappaliban. Itt megjegyezném, hogy ebben is van azért technik, lenyitható rámpa, és mellette a burkolatból előjövő fegyver, valamint a váz. Viszont tény, hogy renget a kocka. Az AT-AT alsó paneljával nekem nem volt gondom. Az oldalsó panelekkel én is eljátszottam, mire felkerültek a helyükre. A lábak álltak, mikor az alsó részt rátettem. Nem volt egyszerű, de annyira vészes sem. Emelgetni igazán eszembe sem jutott. A leírásban lévő hibákat sajnos én is láttam, illetve a dobozok is fejjel lefelé voltak a nagy dobozban, mint neked. Sajnos más leírásokban is találkozom hibákkal. Itt van mindjárt a Battle Pack. Ahogy te is, úgy én is keveseltem a katonákat bele. Így amikor megláttam, hogy jön egy ilyen szett 4 katonával, siklóval, így nem is volt kérdés, mivel töltöm fel. Eredetileg 9 szettet akartam venni, de végül csak 5 lett és milyen jól tettem. Az ülések mellett nem csak a fegyvertartó hibádzik, hanem a falakhoz nem lehet katonát tenni, mert nem fér el a kezük. Azért +20 katonával is nagyon jól néz ki. És a másik oldalra is került két sikló. Meg beállítottam még 2 ágyút. Szóval én nagyon meg vagyok elégedve az élménnyel, amit nyújtott ez a szett. Viszont a lego StarWars készletei egyre inkább kezdenek kiábrándítani. Ez az új Luke sikló nekem sem jön be annyira. Főleg, hogy csak két figura van hozzá és nem is az, aminek lennie kellene. Ehhez a "jelenethez" vagy 4 figura kell vagy Luke és Obi. Szerintem. A Millenium Falcon-ból is hiányzik Luke és R2D2. Úgyhogy ide vettem egy Obi Van Hütte-t és betettem mind a 3 figurát a sólyomba. Az új antenna meg az új szereplők mentek a raktérbe. Persze két kis Disney állat Luke szigetéről belekerült. Disney. Egyéb StarWars legók is tetszenek, de sajnos ahhoz egy külön lakást kellene fenntartanom. 30 cm alatt nem igazán van, ami engem érdekel :) Pedig nagyon fáj a szívem egy Star Destroyer-re. És egy Halálcsillag sem lenne rossz, ha valamikor kiadnak egy újat.

I won't be splashing out on this expensive one, I am pretty happy with my relatively tiny 75288 AT-AT, which fits nicely in my tiny living space. I personally expect underlying Technics structures for a lot of the larger LEGO kits, and I enjoy the way the two systems easily intertwine.
