  • @brandonthetoyandgamecollector

    This videos always fun to come back to. The at-te has always been my favorite walker. As a kid when I was old enough to appreciate it I wanted the Hasbro one but never got it, and the LEGO ones always seemed out of reach, by 2008 I stopped asking for LEGO sets knowing I’d never get them. I didn’t own a LEGO atte until a few years ago, I got the 2013 one and I regrettably sold it, then I got the 2003 one which I later gave to my mom for her walker collection, ended up with another 2013 walker near complete, and sold that to get this new one, glad I did because that one seemed to lower in price a little after the new one came out. I don’t regret the decision, the new one is just so perfect to me

    I also tried to get The AT TE in 2013 for Christmas when I was 10 but unfortunately I couldn't get it because my Parents didn't have enough money as we had fallen on hard times and we had just lost our house and most of our things a year prior due to financial difficulties, we had just moved to a new city in 2013 and for Christmas I really wanted this set as I saw it in the Lego store but my mom said we didn't have enough money, which was sad for me. We struggled for a long time after that but 10 years later we're back on top and I'm making my own money now and I ordered the 2022 set today and it felt so satisfying to finally buy it after never being able to afford it due to hard times.😎👍

    I was 7 back in 2013 and had really wanted some of the bigger sets such as the 2013 AT-TE, as well as other big vehicle sets, but could never get them since they were expensive. Luckily I was able to save up money back during the summer to buy myself the new 75337 AT-TE. It was so much fun to build, and I even got through the entire Revenge Of The Sith, and most of Attack Of The Clones whilst building it. Yeah parts of it are inaccurate but I still really like it

    *Plus, adding on the four 501st Legion Clone Troopers sets I have alongside the AT-TE would look freaking awesome!

But my 7 year old self decided to buy the Anakins starfighter from the original Clone Wars 🫡.

    Heheheheh, I share that feeling of always wanting a Lego AT-TE but never been able to get one...
    Until now that is. I'm happy for you.

    I got the 2013 AT-TE for $30 with all the minifgures last week, it was the best deal ever

    There’s no reason to over pay for a current Lego set. They make tons of them they are not rear. Just because they aren’t in day one it will be on store shelves at some time.
