About this deal

The metallic silver band below Ahsoka's montrals is attractive, although this should have been printed slightly lower. Furthermore, the lekku seem too long when compared with the onscreen character because this component was originally created for Shaak Ti, an adult Togruta in 7931 T-6 Jedi Shuttle. The alternating blue and white stripes look excellent though.

The AAT building toy measures over 4.5” (12cm) high, 8.5” (21cm) long and 5.5” (14cm) wide. Fans can also command the vehicle in the LEGO® Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga video game for extra creative fun The AAT building toy measures over 4.5” (12cm) high, 8.5” (21cm) long and 5.5” (14cm) wide. Fans can also command the vehicle in the LEGO® Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga video game for extra creative fun. Despite its excessive size, the primary laser cannon includes reasonable detail. The weapon rotates all the way around and elevates, yielding an impressive field of fire. Unfortunately, the elevating joint is too wide, even in relation to the turret housing which already looks unusually broad when compared with the animated series. Looking for the best building toy for a kid who is new to LEGO® sets? This Star Wars: The Clone Wars set comes with easy-to-follow, printed instructions so they can build independently… and feel Jedi-level awesome!This 286-piece construction toy makes a great holiday gift and offers a fun, rewarding building challenge for boys and girls aged 7+. It combines brilliantly with other LEGO® Star Wars™ sets for even more creative fun. I was an early fan of The Clone Wars, having seen the movie in theaters and going on to watch the series weekly from there. I was, hesitant at first... while the movie was entertaining enough I knew it was pretty bad, like worse than Phantom Menance type bad (I'd argue its better than Rise of Skywalker now, but that is another discussion entirely). Fortunately the TV show had the first glimpse of potential in season 1 shortly afterwards in the episode Rookies. A clone focused story? Nearly no Jedi in sight? Realistic war stakes? Swearing on a kids network? Rookies was the moment The Clone Wars fully hooked me and I was in on the ride for good, although I think it wasn't until Season 3 when the series really started to become consistently good.

Several minifigure-scale renditions of the AAT have been produced since 2000, varying quite substantially in appearance and size. The latest model measures 14cm wide while 75080 AAT, released during 2015, measures 12cm wide and 8018 Armoured Assault Tank (AAT) measures 20cm across. I think the modern design is the most accurate in scale beside minifigures. Oh yeah, the fandom has had a complete 180* change of how The Clone Wars and Ahsoka are viewed. I remember in 2008 it was all discussions of how Ahsoka was a winny kid being compared to the likes of Weasley Crusher from Star Trek, a Mary Sue with a snarky attitude. Then The Clone Wars as a whole was seen as trampling on the stories made in the prior Clone Wars series, Karen Travis's Republic Commando series and the Star Wars Republic comics. Its easy to forget, but The Clone Wars had a lot of negative reception from the fanbase at launch. The buildable droid itself will apparently retain many of the features and functions of its bigger sibling (despite its reduced piece count and price tag), including an articulated head, periscope, third leg, tools and even an info plaque. 75380 Boonta Eve Podrace Diorama The AAT building toy has many cool features to inspire battle play including 2 spring-loaded shooters, a rotating turret with an elevating cannon, plus opening front and turret hatches to place the Battle Droids inside LEGO® Star Wars™ construction playsets are great for kids (and adult fans) to build and display, recreate scenes from the memorable Star Wars saga and create their own unique stories.Recreate thrilling 501st Legion vs. Battle Droid conflicts from Star Wars: The Clone Wars with this awesome Armoured Assault Tank (AAT) LEGO® building toy for kids (75283) The LEGO Group is rumoured to be going all-out for Disney’s latest Star Wars show Skeleton Crew, devoting a huge 1,325-piece set to the main ship from the new series. With no release date confirmed for the Jude Law-fronted live-action show as yet, though – and rumours of delays circling – 75374 Skeleton Crew Ship might not yet meet its original expected shelf date of January 1. 75375 Millennium Falcon This 286-piece construction toy makes a great holiday gift and offers a fun, rewarding building challenge for boys and girls aged 7+. It combines brilliantly with other LEGO® Star Wars™ sets for even more creative fun It's worth talking a bit more about the Ahsoka minifig. When she was first introduced, everyone basically hated her (to be fair, when she was first introduced, Clone Wars was...not great, so the hatred was well-deserved). There have been two Clone Wars minifigs of Ahsoka, both with short "kiddie" lekku, and both with those ginormous anime eyes. There's only been one previous set that included an adult Ahsoka, and she had dark-orange skin in that one. That minifig also lists for more than this set costs. So, right there, it's cheaper to buy this minifig with a free set included, than it is to buy the Rebels Ahsoka loose. Also, if you want to de-anime young Ahsoka, this head looks like it can do that for you, where the dark-orange Rebels head didn't match the orange visible on either of the Clone Wars torsos." This set includes 2 LEGO® Star Wars™ minifigures – Ahsoka Tano and Ahsoka's Clone Trooper – AAT Driver Battle Droid and Battle Droid LEGO figures, and cool weapons including 2 Lightsabers to role-play action stories.

Viewing the model from either side reveals its most notable shortcoming as the primary laser cannon is too long when compared with the source material. The body section and turret both look reasonable as individual components but appear as though they might belong with models of two different scales! Fortunately, the laser cannon barrel can be modified easily. Clone Troopers from the 332nd Company accompany Ahsoka during the Siege of Mandalore, hence the second minifigure is identified as Ahsoka's Clone Trooper. His distinctive helmet is immediately recognisable, featuring orange designs that correspond with Ahsoka's appearance. A darker shade of orange may have been more suitable, although this colour matches Ahsoka's LEGO skin tone. Join forces with Jedi hero Ahsoka Tano and Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper against the Battle Droids. Beware! The Droids’ Armoured Assault Tank has powerful weapons. Dodge missiles fired from the spring-loaded shooters. And watch out for the AAT’s cannons. You will need to use all your Jedi skills to win this epic Star Wars: The Clone Wars battle!Looking for the best building toy for a kid who is new to LEGO® sets? This Star Wars: The Clone Wars set comes with easy-to-follow, printed instructions so they can build independently… and feel Jedi-level awesome! I am glad The Clone Wars and Ahsoka both have a loved place in Star Wars canon now. The Siege of Mandalore from the final season on Disney+ ranks up with The Mandalorian, Rogue One and Rebels as my favorite products of the "Disney Era" and I think Dave Filoni and crew did an excellent job maturing Ahsoka over the series. While we had to wait several years for the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection to broach the prequel trilogy, the midi-scale collection will seemingly do so during only its second year on shelves (and in its first full wave of sets). 75377 Invisible Hand is rumoured to recreate General Grievous’s flagship cruiser from Revenge of the Sith’s opening scenes, and is even said to split in two – referencing its fate in the Battle of Coruscant. 75378 Grogu’s Escape Recreate thrilling 501st Legion vs. Battle Droid conflicts from Star Wars: The Clone Wars with this awesome Armored Assault Tank (AAT) LEGO® building toy for kids (75283).

This construction playset is powered by creative kids’ free-thinking – no batteries required – so whether building and playing solo or sharing the fun with family and friends, the galactic adventures never stop! The AAT building toy has many cool features to inspire battle play including 2 spring-loaded shooters,a rotating turret with an elevating cannon, plus opening front and turret hatches to place the Battle Droids inside. Ahsoka Tano and colourful Clone Troopers from the 332nd Company appear during the climactic episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and have attracted significant attention. 75283 Armoured Assault Tank (AAT) includes both characters and should prove accordingly popular!

Details

Buildable characters are still in vogue in Billund, with the next slated to be 75381 Droideka. This particular Trade Federation droid feels like a perfect fit for this format, but questions remain: will it be able to curl up into a ball? Will it arrive in a giant trans-blue sphere to replicate its deflector shield? And will we finally see another minifigure-scale Droideka to accompany it? All unknowns for now, but there’s a lot of potential here… 75382 TIE Interceptor Finer details have yet to be revealed, but with that piece count and price tag, it’s unlikely to be minifigure scale – unless the LEGO Group has opted for a clever forced perspective build that places microscale podracers in front of a minifigure-scale viewing area. We can only dream… 75381 Droideka Nothing is known yet about these four remaining sets, which could literally be anything. (As long as it’s to do with Star Wars, obvs.) Chances are good that there’s another diorama in here – the two previous waves included multiple sets – while at least one might be based on later episodes of The Mandalorian Season 3 or Ahsoka. For now, your guess is as good as ours – but fingers crossed there are a sprinkling of other obscure characters among them for LEGO Star Wars’ 25th anniversary. Every LEGO Star Wars set rumoured for 2024 LEGO set The set forms part of the Ultimate Collector Series, which also includes the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon set, LEGO Star Wars UCS A-wing set, and the recently released LEGO Star Wars UCS Republic Gunship set. Ahsoka wields two blue lightsabers, reflecting her weapons from the final episodes of The Clone Wars. The character has now used three different lightsaber colours in LEGO sets! Her double-sided head features appropriate facial tattoos and two expressions, displaying determination on one side and a smile on the other.
