I nominate Mathew for vocabulary award

Which is what I do with a lot of Lego sets. But $800+ is a large cash outlay all at once. I’m in a rare (and lucky) position to do this right now. There’s just the psychological barrier. 

YOLO

It's a no brainer.  Get it!  If you want to make financial sense out of it right now you could do the Titanic instead and resell it.  No way you're selling the AT AT now.  Can't even sell them new.

Not interested in the Titanic.  I’m buying this for personal build. Has anyone here actually built the AT-AT?  Any buyers remorse?

In the middle of building. The scale of it is crazy.

Wife gave green light on purchase:  Yay or Nay?  I’m heading to the Lego store to see it on display.  I’ve never spent so much on one Lego set yet I really want the UCS AT-AT.

Do you like Technic build? I don’t so won’t build this one even though it is a nice display set especially once you pack it with Minifigs. You may get a better deal on eBay since there is no promos GWP from Lego.

That’s a good question. Technic building is not typically my favorite. With that being said one of the most satisfying builds I can remember is the UCS Shuttle. I’ve never built anything this large so I’m thinking that the sense of accomplishment will offset some of the Technic “grind”. 

Agree with the Technic opinions

While I can respect a Technic build, it doesn't provide (IMO) the real LEGO building experience.

I’d wait for a good GWP promo or double VIP or something.

With mine I got the tin sign, Santa’s yard, and lightsaber. I also got enough points to use for the Mandalorian armorer set. So it stung a little bit less.

Normally I’d agree but wife approvals usually have an expiration date.

Plenty of Santa's Yards in the wild.  You might have thought of Santa's Livingroom

Did they give you a Xmas Tree Poly with it?

If you live within distance of the Mall of America, there is a 15% off purchase coupon active at their website that can be used on the AT-AT and several other sets. Website is a bit of a nightmare to maneuver though ...

Might want to find out if it applies.  Most of the time Lego does not let such promotions apply to Exclusives.

At least one made it into the wild in Poland.

The eBay one is at $1000 with 6 days left....and the seller has zero seller feedback. This isn't going to end well.

Was the listing taken down? It now says the page is missing.

 

 

 

This guy confirmed in the comments it was taken down, but not sure why yet.

LEGO cracking down on LEGO products being sold on eBay, ignores fake LEGO on eBay.
