Excellent value, January 3, 2013

For the MSRP of $19.99, you get:
A 501st Clone Trooper with rifle (new color scheme), Yoda with green lightsaber (new sculpt), Commando Droid with rifle (new color scheme), a Sniper Droideka, and a redesigned 'walker.
The AT-RT has a few minor flaws.
1) Unlike the AT-ST (7127), it cannot swivel. The torso is static and does not turn, which hinders the playability of this new rendition of a classic design. If you own the Clone Scout Walker (7250), this is identical in fundamentals, with just a couple of different pieces for aesthetics (bigger front plate for instance).
2) The 2 radio antennas in the back are not secured and frequently falls off.
On the plus side, the stickers are top notch transparent pieces of vinyl - better than the paper decals for Headhunter (75004), which I just reviewed.
The Sniper Droideka is also a nice addition. Of all the recent destroyer droids, this one most closely resembles the film version, with the sphere back.
Great set for the value. 3 Minifigs, 1 brick Minifig, and a small sturdy vehicle that should take anywhere between 10 - 20 minutes to build.
Very detailed model! A must have, January 22, 2014

I had the original ROTS AT-RT back in the day and absolutely loved it. I feel Clone Wars 501st AT-RT builds (no pun intended) on what the old one did right and makes it better in every way. The Walker is a beautiful replica of the Clone Wars version. It really adds to any Grand Army of the Republic you are currently building. Unfortunately, Legos don't clone quite like people. The minifigs are top notch. I love the Phase 2 troopers and the Clone Wars Yoda is very nicely detailed. Lego has yet to get the Droideka (this is the sniper version) quite right, but nonetheless, it still looks magnificent alongside my droid army. The Commando Droid is also a very nice addition to my collection. This set is a definite must have! I recommend it to people of all ages who love Star Wars as much as I do.
