I still remember when I saw those At-At's for the first time in the theater. It blew my mind!

Uhrrrrrrrr…..

This LEGO AT-AT is showing the same problems as previous kits. Clearly not designed to be assembled in earth gravity, for one thing.

Now I’ve got the legs built and attached to the underside, I feel like I should get some red hot metal rods and push them down thru the full length of the legs to add some actual support. At the very least I feel I’m going to have to force some glue into the joints!

Just looked at the price of the Lego AT-AT with 6785 pieces... Cripes, that is expensive.

I’ve done some gluing of bigger Lego sets. With some of them it’s necessary.

Speaking of large sets, there's this 10,001 piece Eiffel Tower coming out on Black Friday.

JB: how goes the At-At? I'm always entertained by your descriptions of the process. Sorry my entertainment comes at your frustration. ;-)

I would assume you would have to take it one piece at-at a
time?

Spent the last two days assembling the “head”. Unfortunately LEGO’s policy of using existing pieces means the seams don’t close completely. Leaving me to explain that’s how it comes, not because I did a shoddy job putting it together.
