Review: 8018 AAT (Armored Assault Tank)

[TheBrickHitHouse]

The speeder may look like it just fell from an 1980's Lego set but...

Leave the speeder permenantly in place as a control room and remove the bricks on the second section of the speeder - and you have a perfect little entrance ramp

Eurobricks welcomes more than one review of a certain set, so no need to freak out.

I think he is mad because you got your review advertised on the front page! But his review was over-looked.

Great review, I picked up 2 of them, myself, to go with the MTT. They do make nice army droid builders too.

That's a great set, can't wait to pick it up. I don't like both blue's in it, and they should have included 2 CIS signs for the lower sides. Still, a very nice set!

Thanks for that excellent review, Erdbeereis.

The set looks very nice and I like especially that new SBD

gun mold... that piece could work beautiful as some kind of

minigun mounted to a MF...

[Tacitus]

Thanks for the review. I hadn't realize that the new Yoda has hair. It almost makes up for the google eyes.

I just wanted to add that I think the reason LEGO does not do number bags for SW sets is to prevent theft of the minifigures, which often are the compelling reason to buy a set- like, did you really want a Sandcrawler, or did you just want the Jawas? It would be way to easy for someone to break open the box, and pull out the number 1 bag with all the MF parts, so I think LEGO mixes it up as a deterrent.

I loved the original AT&T, so I might pick this up. I love the cylinder things sloping down the sides.

Nice review! I have been sorta wanting this set since they first released it, and now I really want to get it.

[Loganwan]

Great review. Saw it in the store and thought I wanted it. Read your review and now know I need it. Thanks a lot!

Here's a few views of the stickered version, just for comparison. God bless navy blue!

I got this set before Christmas and it's really awesome. I love the new yoda and Super Battle Droids.

[Dark Brickz]

great set just they should have added droid pilot...

[Cardinal Brick]

Thanks for the review. I like the set but it'll a bit to expensive for my money. In the unlikley event that I ever find it on sale I will pick it up though. I like the intergration of the dark blue parts and the swept back look. Personally i don't like the new Yoda, just seems a bit odd to me.

[Dr. X]

I agree. I'm never quite sure why TLC mixes colors sometimes, especially when the actual vehicle doesn't have different blues.

I think SW LEGO designers have a strange psychotic compulsion to add blue to any vehicle they see. This includes all TIE fighters.

At any rate, very nice review, and I'd definitely buy this set if it was $40 instead of the blood-clotting horrible $50.

Lego even added blue to the old AT-AT...bizarre

...and the blue at the back of the old AAT was just dreadful

I have a question for someone who owns this set:

Is Yoda's head made from the new soft-rubbery plastic? (I'm guessing that because it's two colors [green and grey], it is) or the same type of plastic as a typical minifig? Does anyone know about the old Yoda?

I'd like to add Yoda to my minifig collection, but not sure if I like the idea of one with a soft plastic head.

It is indeed the softer rubber. If you have Plo Koon from the new gunship, it's the same material. I believe the old Yoda had a solid plastic head.

I personally don't mind the rubbery plastic at all

Awesome set and review, I'm glad I decided to purchase this through bricklink for $50
