Monday, May 3rd, 2010 at 2:00 pm

The Star Wars Lego set 7675, the AT-TE walker is the second time Lego has produced this particular star Wars vehicle. The first version, set 4482, came out in 2003 a year after the release of Star Wars Episode Two Attack Of The Clones. It is featured in that movie and in the Star Wars Clone Wars television series, from which this latest Lego incarnation of the vehicle has been taken.

The All Terrain Tactical Enforcer is a walker that was developed to support the Grand Army of the republic and became the precursor to later walkers including the AT-AT. Lego's version of the walker is impressive and comes with a STAP vehicle that the separatist battle droids rode in the Clone Wars movie to battle AT-TE walkers on Teth.

The walker model measures 15' 1/2" (39cm) long and 8" (20cm) high and playable features include positionable legs that spring back to position, movable cannons, firing missiles, armored hatches and cockpit that open to reveal the cabin and troop bay inside.

The top panels lift up and troopers can sit inside while the cockpit can be opened to place in a single figure. Another gunner can sit on the top to rotate the cannon and behind him there is a small handle that can be used to pick up the vehicle or attach it to the Dropship (set 10195).

The minifigures include Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano, Jabba The Hutt's son Rotta, Clone Captain Rex, a regular clone and a battle droid. The Commander Rex is exclusive and has not appeared in a set since.

While not quite as playable as the Republic Gunship it has a lot of character and young fans will enjoy replicating the scenes from the TV series. It looks good as a display model and will fit well into battle scenes and dioramas.
