LEGO 75283 Star Wars TM Armoured Assault Tank (AAT)

Product Information

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! 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." 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

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. 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 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. 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 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 funFiner 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 Here’s where things get really interesting, and not necessarily because of the build: alongside a smaller and more accessible take on 2021’s 75308 R2-D2, 75379 R2-D2 is said to include minifigures of both the eponymous astromech droid and… Darth Malak. The Knights of the Old Republic Sith Lord is rumoured to be one of multiple characters inserted into 2024 sets to celebrate LEGO Star Wars’ 25th anniversary. 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.

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. Four unique Ahsoka Tano minifigures have been produced since 2008, reflecting her changing appearance throughout Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. The latest example is based upon the seventh season of The Clone Wars and appears faithful to the series. Her dark blue attire features metallic silver and metallic gold highlights which look superb and I like the continuation of this design across the hips. 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. 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! 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 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
