  • UCS AT-AT MOC


    Quacs

    Just a quick blog entry today. This morning there was a post in the forum discussing this, but since I already wrote the blog entry last night, I figured I would release it anyway...

    For all you Star Wars enthusiasts, check out this website that chronicles one man's journey to build a UCS AT-AT that is minifigure scale:

    Here's a picture of this behemoth!

    Some stats on this MOC:
    Piece count - approximately 6,250
    Piece cost - estimated $375-$600

    Assuming TLC could produce this set cheaper, but with the licensing fees tacked on, I would estimate that TLC would have to market this at about $600. This price and piece count would really fuel demand as it would immediately become the largest and most expensive Lego set ever built.

    That said, there are a few reasons TLC would never release this:

    1. It's MUCH too fragile. Reading the blog gives you an appreciation for how weak this is.
    2. I don't think Lego will crack the $500 MSRP mark with a model in the near future.
    3. Logistically, this would be a BEAST to box and ship.
    4. The box alone would require some significant reinforcing given the amount of large bricks that appear to make up the model.

    I still think this is an amazing structure, and the designer should be given serious credit for the amazing design, and the author should be given credit for its construction. Please visit the website for further information about this model.
