LEGO Star Wars AT-AT Set: The Ultimate Holiday Gift for Die-Hard Fans

It’s too early to tell if the Lego Star Wars AT-AT set will become one of the hottest “Star Wars” gifts this holiday season, but it’s certainly impressive.

Announced in early November, the colossal LEGO set is an ultimate gift for die-hard fans that don’t mind spending big bucks on gear inspired by “Star Wars.” The humungous structure comes with more than 6,000 pieces — which is probably why it’s designed for ages 18 and older, plus it retails for a whopping $800 (a small price to pay for some collectors).

“The mega-sized LEGO Star Wars AT-AT set is the one everyone has been waiting for, and it’s been a thrill to bring this highly-anticipated build to life,” LEGO designer Henrik Andersen said in a statement. “The AT-AT was an engineering masterpiece, and the LEGO set will make an impressive display. But we have also packed in plenty of details that will deliver hours of fun for fans of LEGO and Star Wars alike.”
