I built the MK AT-AT and geared down the engine from 360 to 60 Rpm, I switched one of the studs that holds the legs to an axle (technics), that became much more sturdy, the legs don't fall off anymore. I also updated the feet so they don't fall off either. It was actually quite fun.
First as a single father raising two sons on my own living paycheck to paycheck, I can’t afford Lego. So for 250 bucks from Amazon I purchased Mould King version. Not a bad set, there was a couple parts I did glue, head to neck joint, and feet to leg. For price I can’t complain.
Exactly, the fact they're comparable and one is 550 less makes mold king #1 overall
I’ve been waiting for this video. Thanks!
Thanks for the review!!! Extremely helpful going with the MK
LEGO IS OVER-PRICED 😮
Good on you dude!
Thanks for putting this video together, and for all the insightful details! I think the Mould King set is really hard to beat for the value- not that I dislike the Lego one, but I find it hard to justify a $800 price tag for something that has a VERY solid sub-$300 competitor. I also enjoy the tiling on MK's a lot better, I just wish Lego could have done the same.
edit: okay those gaps are kind of killing me....
Thank you for the comment! Don't forget you can get the knock off version of the UCS AT-AT for about $275-$300 USD as well, so both are affordable. (I got the $800 Lego UCS only because this is my favorite Star Wars vehicle.)
@@SevenStarBricks Yeah Knock off Ucs AT-AT at 250$ Usd on Ali Express it's like the same price as the Mould King.
Great video, thank you! I’d be interested in a follow up if you ever decide to modify the MK set to match Jhae’s original design. He used tires, and he used hinge bricks for the side panels not hinge plates. That fixes the gaps
I may, but I am so backlogged with sets, mods, and mocs right now it would be a while before I could even look into it. Thank you for the complement!
The problem with lego (besides the INSANE price difference) is that i spent time saving up for the star destroyer UCS set, and as soon as i had the money it was replaced with the venator. Now don’t get me wrong, i like the venator. But I spent a whole YEAR saving up. I really hate that lego retires sets so quickly. Mouldking may be slightly lesser quality, with less detail, but at least i can get their sets anytime at a fraction of the cost.
Yeeeeah, but the UCS Star Destroyer was available for 3 years; From 2019 until 2022. I think Lego is aware that the average person is going to need to save for these insane sets, which is why they have a much longer shelf time than the normal sets, which are usually only around for a year or two. Of course, the Star Destroyer was available for a shorter time than the UCS Millennium Falcon, which came out late 2017 and is still available, but the Falcon is $300+ more than the SD was too. Or they may be coming out with another SD UCS set. If you really want the UCS SD, some of the knock off sites still have them in stock.
You can put pre-molded chairs in mould King one
I choose the mould king one and it was a pleasure looking into the box and nearly only seeing Grey pieces.
And I like that the mould king one is mostly tiled. I dont care for star wars so It doesn't annoy me that its less accurate.
And king bricks are good, but I prefer the mould king ones. And spending 700€ for the lego Model is waaay too much for me.
Great Video! You deserve Waaay more attention. Hope youll get big :-)
Thank you for the kind words!
Great review! The MK set seems like a great display piece. The price reflects the durability/playability of the set. For about 1/3 the price of the UCS lego AT-AT you get a full size minifigure scale set and even some improvements, but you lose the carefully crafted interior design.
Maybe mod the interior? I think we all know that Lego is ridiculously expensive. I’m seriously thinking about getting a MK set.
Thanks for taking the time to build both sets and put together this vid . Alot can be said for the Mould King version with the tiling and overall design and opinions will differ but i prefer the Lego AT AT . its got more right then wrong over the MK version like the neck detail and the rear for sure and the gaps although you cant see different colors , like Lego is famous for , is far too wide to be acceptable plus some of the part usage by MK especially in the legs look awkward and with Legos interior it makes this comparison a slam dunk for Lego putting aside pricing difference . But this is just an opinion situation ..
I love the SNOT look of the Mould King. I’m working on modding the smaller Lego ATAT to look SNOT and it’s working out really expensive. I’m better off getting a Mould King. Thanks for the heads up.
May i ask what SNOT means in your context?
@@gfj06 Studs Not On Top…more smooth surfaces than standard Lego sets.
@@StarWarsJay but don't forget, SNOT adds an incredible amount of weight. and the 2021 atat doesn't have the most stable legs.
I build Lego and Mould king. Incomparable. Lego is perfectly better. I sometimes need super glue for mould king. I often receive slightly bent plates that have de facto difficulty attaching well. Mould kind is cheaper but too expensive for the quality offered. As well missing parts for Mould King and never for lego.
Thanks for this and love the channel and the overall vibe. Including the shelving vids. Just finished the legit UCS AT-AT (my fave vehicle from the movies) and am 2/3 through a bootl€go SSD. My fingers are chafed. Just ordered a bootl€go Heavy Assault walker for 1/4 the Ebay going rate. Hopefully it's not too bad...
You should review the orange lego porshe gt3rs
i think sound effects are needed when showing the doors open and describing the laser blasters...
The rear panels shoukd fit quite flush on my MK ATAT. Idk why yours doesn't. Just sayin. Thanks for the comparison video! I prefer the Lego version overall too (I have the Mould King bootleg ironically)
Dirt cheap where I was ran the lego one for $550. But for me that was still super expensive!
£160 Vs £700. The Lego might better, but I'd be an idiot not the pick the Mould King.
Yes, but you can opt for the copy of the Lego version for about the same price as the MK version.
so the mould king version is a design by richboyjhae, a moc designer fairly prominent in the Lego community. I have built the version he sells out of bricks made by Lego however with all these similar brands the quality is becoming fairly similar if not identical.
However the point I am trying to get to is I have built the original design by richboyjhae and it seems that mould king has taken some liberties to change the design slightly, but I can say the version I have while a bit less stable than the mould kind does not have these issues. The feet have built in massive tires to stop from sliding on two of the four feet and the gaps at the back are way less prevalent but I can see that is because it is built slightly different. The ankles on the original are a lot better looking, the reason they changed the design as far as i can tell is because the connection between the ankles and feet are not good at all and causes a lot of dramas moving around.
With that said the model does come with its own issues but none of them are aesthetic so it stays in its display case for most of its life.
Also, there is a new one from China. Its made by KING A66777. It is to compete with the new Lego toy. It's AMAZING?
I had no idea Mould King existed.
I really like the overall look of the Mould king but it's too bad that it's missing something that Lego was able to fit in.
7:55 I hear a claptrap 😂😂
Yeaaaaaah, I'm really bad about remembering to put my phone on silent when filming. Claptrap is set as several of my notifications. 😁
Interesting I would imagine from my own experience that the knockoff version would be very comparable to the LEGO one (only way cheaper) so on that note I just looked into the hero factory locations and they do have a Canadian store so do you have an affiliate link for that store or no? Because if I do end up buying this one I would definitely like to help you out a bit if possible. Great review and Thank-you again for you honesty.
Take care & hi from Canada
Hello again! Yes, you can use the coupon "sevenstarbricks" at any of their warehouses and it will save you 7% and help us out. The Canadian warehouse appears to be sold out of the knock off AT-AT currently, but here is the link: herotoyz.com/product/star-wars-at-at-walker-with-interior-75313-ucs-4/
@@SevenStarBricks great and yeah I seen that and I have set the notification email for it. Glad they have allowed all shops for your channel that’s great.
Can you compare the official Lego UCS Star destroyer with the mould king version?
Probably not going to happen, at least not soon. The Lego UCS Star Destroyer is now a retired set, which means the price will increase and typically I don't buy too many official Lego UCS sets because they are already too expensive. But it could happen, depending on how much the channel grows. 🙃
Mould King looks much better in my opinion. I love the smooth look for sure over studs exposed.
They are definitely ahead of Lego on that front. The new Razor Crest UCS set is very smooth compared to older UCS sets, though. I was surprised.
@@SevenStarBricks Yes I agree totally. I collect the helmets from lego and wish they went with the more smooth look. Plus lego is getting ridiculously high, just look at the new hulk buster for example and I’m not even a marvel fan.
@@Daniel_B_23 Me too, plus I build some of the MOC helmet sets. I especially like the stuff Albo is doing. And yes, Lego is out of their minds with some of their pricing.
@@SevenStarBricks I’ll have to check out Albo haven’t heard of them. As of late customer service with lego hasn’t been the greatest. Not to beat up on lego, but things have just gotten ridiculously high. I’ll have to check out Albo tho.
Cavegod MOC is still the best version!
what do your friends think about you making videos about lego bricks?
Haven't really had any feedback from them. I don't live near anybody, so I just keep in touch with old friends on Facebook. Some of them give a thumbs up to the videos but don't comment. My wife thinks its a great hobby for me.
I just finished the mould king at at and i am not confident in its ability to stand with out its legs breaking at the hips over time
Yes, definitely need to modify it to be sturdier. I've heard from a few people that it crashed off their shelves; the blue pins at the hips broke after about a year of holding the entire model up.
Ok, first thing. Anyone buying alternate brands to build should know that IT's NOT LEGO! There are some issues with every build I've done. So be prepared to innovate as you build. I enjoy this. At first it was frustrating. But now, I just find work-arounds and ways to make the build better. So take your time and don't worry when you think they've missed a part. It's always in there somewhere lol
AND, this model cost me $210 US delivered. Not $750.
That's a massive saving.
Those gaps on the back of the Mould King would have me very disappointed... that shouldn't be there for what you spend on them, and would be an easy fix in the design phase.
The Lego one is clearly superior... IMO.
All I know is one is 1/3 the price so...
Ngl mould king neck is cursed
The lego version cost about the same as a Playstation 5 and Xbox series S combined. You could even get an entry level high tier electric guitar for the same price. If I wanted one of these I'd go for the Mould King despite its flaws. I would never fund Lego at their prices.
You could always get he knock off version of the Lego UCS set which are typically about a quarter of the price but with similar quality bricks.
Just get a fake version of the LEGO set, they're cheaper still
The way the side door opens on the Lego version is actually more screen accurate. You do see the door swing open outwards in the movie at the moment the first AT-AT falls down.
As for which I prefer, the Lego version no question. It is superior in every way in my opinion, and I'd rather have 1 really good looking and functional AT-AT for $800 rather than a $200 static version that looks kinda ugly to me. That $200 would end up being a waste of money since I wouldn't want to keep it on display.
I agree for these AT ATs, but the Mould King Monarch Star Destroyer is way better then the UCS star destroyer, same for the Executor, plus Mould King also has the Eclipse.
You think the Lego one looks better? The fact the designers couldn’t even be bothered to use some kind of snot for 800 dollars is all I need to see
@@cameron2900x Well SNOT is not a be all end all for me. The studs actually add some surface detail as they kinda look like rivets. Yes, not super accurate but aesthetically it looks better to me. But regardless of whether it had studs or not, it still looks far better than the Mould King IMO. To each his own. But as a toy collector who has owned different versions of different toys, my experience is that I always end up settling on just keeping the best version of something and selling/getting rid of any other. Keeping or buying inferior versions just becomes a waste of space and money as I don't want to display them next to something that looks better.
@@archienov i agree the lego version is imo also superior in every way, people seem to forget that SNOT adds an incredible amount of weight if put every where like the MK one...
people also seem to forget that lego has Great quality control on nearly all sets, lego tries to make every set stable because they know that people will move their lego sets a lot or are going to move it someday.
they also know the problems of big models thats why they don't SNOT a lot or put their main focus on stability. because lego isn't light.
Mould King one is $300 while the LEGO one is $800
Hopefully you remember this.
This is not a fair comparison video because Mould King has two different At At’s. This one is an MOC and is not accurate to the official UCS set.
There’s a second set they make that IS accurate to the official UCS set.
There is a knock off set of the UCS AT-AT, but it's not made by Mould King. This is comparing the Mould King version of this MOC to the UCS Lego set, because those are the two minifigure scale versions of this model that are readily available to most people.
Лучше сравнить Лего 75313 и MOC-4042.
Не стесняйтесь присылать мне Cavegod UCS AT-AT, и я это сделаю. ;)
@@SevenStarBricks /scrinshot 4042 UCS/ for you😉
MK looks fragile
I don't believe in investing in LEGO but several sets get pricy. I can sell some sets and I get at least my money back. This is unlicensed cheap China shit. Only plastic...
...and it's not the LEGO one that you call "Lego UCS".

Yes, the Lego UCS AT-AT in the video is indeed the genuine Lego one.
