Breaking: I built the Lego UCS AT-ST Walker, a hulking 1,500-piece ode to one of the Empire’s most famous vehicles from Return of the Jedi

GamesRadar+ Verdict With the bar set higher than a Wroshyr tree, it takes a lot for a modern UCS set to stand out, and while the AT-ST is a more modest offering, its fun build and undeniable OG Trilogy charm shine through.

In some ways, it falls victim to the Empire’s terribly impractical design in that the overall form factor and playability take a subtle hit in order to produce a Lego set that isn’t prone to toppling.

And yet, in a galaxy not so far, far away, where size does, in fact, matter, it’s nice to know that the UCS AT-ST Walker can be displayed on a shelf and stand under its own weight, without fear of taking a tumble.

Pros +Stands securely under its own steam +Challenging and engrossing build +Dripping with OG Trilogy charm +Imposing set that doesn't take up too much space +Premium minifigure Cons -Stability impacts visual accuracy slightly -Very light on playability -Slightly expensive at RRP Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you.
