LEGO 75083 Star Wars At-DP Toy

The AT-DP is one of the better walkers I have seen from Lego. When you first look at it, it already looks better then the AT-ST. As you build it you realize how much detail has gone into the set from the leg design all the way to the top hatch. The minifigures are also good. There is the AT-DP pilots which are unique to the set. Also along for the ride is a stormtrooper, and you cannot have enough of those guys. Finally we have Agent Kallus. I don't know how I feel about the minifigure. I haven't seen Rebels yet but he just looks a bit silly. I don't use the double sided blaster because it's a bit big and cumbersome. Overall it's an awesome set.

I really liked how this set went together. The Lego designers found what I thought was a pretty interesting way to attach the side armor panels and legs to the turret. I have a couple of minor issues. I wish the side panels opened for easier access to the inside. The chin gun can fall off pretty easily (maybe I should use a little super glue). The legs don't move very easily, but that's probably because if they were easy to move, it would probably topple over as the turret is relatively heavy compared to the legs. Otherwise this was a really fun set to put together and its a great set to play with. My son loves it!

This was one of the better sets I bought recently. The build was interesting and challenging enough to keep my son engaged for a full afternoon. The result looks terrific. I am particularly happy with how they create the head- keeping all those angles in place and making it solid. If they can replicate that on the next AT-AT it will be great. Love how the shooters stay hidden. MiniFigs are good too. My only disappointment is in the legs. Without any articulation they do take away some of the fun and play potential this model has. They could have done a bit more detailing on the back as well. But still, I really enjoyed this build - its too bad it's been retired.
