LEGO Star Wars AT-TE Walker Set #7675 Review

Stomp all over the Separatists!

LEGO Star Wars are some of the most popular LEGO toys and the AT-TE Walker 7675 is no exception. Clone Wars was a perfect excuse to re-release the AT-TE set. Just like in Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie, help Anakin Skywalker and his apprentice Ahsoka protect the baby Hutt, Rotta, by firing missles from the might AT-TE at the droid STAP. The AT-TE #7675 is far better that the original AT-TE #4482, with more carrying capacity, and legs prevented from falling like in the original. The new AT-TE is more accurate to the movie.  

Watch this video review of the LEGO Star Wars Clone Wars AT-TE 7675 for yourself and see what you think of this awesome LEGO set.

When droids attack, it is time to call in the mighty AT-TE! This powerful six-legged walker features details straight from Star Wars Clone Wars. The AT-TE includes positionable legs, movable cannons, firing missiles, and armored hatches and cockpit that open to reveal the cabin and troop bay inside. Even with its flying STAP vehicle, the battle droid doesn't stand a chance against Anakin Skywalker and the clone army of the Republic. Includes mini figures of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka, Captain Rex, clone trooper, battle droid, and Rotta the Hutt. Open front to access the cockpit and to slide out the pilot seat! It measures 15½" (39cm) long and 8" (20cm) high and has 799 pieces. Help yourself to this and you'll have a blast for eons to come!

Rockoh T3 Bionicle 8941 Review

Fly the Rockoh T3 into battle!

Rockoh T3 was a vehicle found by Toa Pohatu while inside the Codrex. It, along with Jetrax T6 and Axalara T9, was made by Artakha and placed in Karda Nui sometime before the Toa Mata were created.  Of the three T-series vehicles, Rockoh had more armor then the others.

Packed with power, the Rockoh T3 can trap energy ships in an energy field or ram them out of the sky! Fold out the wings for flight, or fold them into for a power dive.  The flying vehicle equipped with a Midak skyblaster is mounted on the front of the vehicle. A wing release function giving additional speed and releasing laser cannons.  Pull the lever underneath to fire the blaster.  The Rockoh T3 includes a special edition Toa Pohatu Nuva figure in adaptive armor pilot form.  The Bionicle Rockoh T3 set is so much fun to play with. It looks good, has cool functions, shoots and is just plain awsome.

  • Rockoh T3 measures 16" (41cm) long!
  • Pohatu Nuva stands 7" (18cm) tall!
  • Contains 390 pieces
  • Released summer 2008
