I’m so happy that you didn’t let yourself get scammed for the at te at that other store. What a bunch of scumbags.

[@thebritishpanda6545]

how are they scumbags?

[@Kai-yv1gd]

@@thebritishpanda6545 They charged almost $100 extra for a set that retailed for $140, even if they have rights to change the price, that's way too high

In korea since we don’t really have too many people that have good taste we have lots on stock, so I get all of the legos

[@dombo813]

I was wanting an ATTE since the clone wars version with ahsoka. I went for the gunship instead, which I don't regret cos that's a brilliant set too, but finally being able to get one, and it being the best one yet for a reasonable price was so good.

[@Larstronomy]

Production quality of these videos is insane, very well done. It's crazy to think how rare this set is for you guys in America. I ordered one last week for $120, but could've ordered 10 if I wanted to, arrived the next day. Sorry to make you jealous now ;) (I'm from the Netherlands)

Congratulations! The securing the AT-TE with the seat belt is a nice touch!

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

This videos always fun to come back to. The at-te has always been my favorite walker. As a kid when I was old enough to appreciate it I wanted the Hasbro one but never got it, and the LEGO ones always seemed out of reach, by 2008 I stopped asking for LEGO sets knowing I’d never get them. I didn’t own a LEGO atte until a few years ago, I got the 2013 one and I regrettably sold it, then I got the 2003 one which I later gave to my mom for her walker collection, ended up with another 2013 walker near complete, and sold that to get this new one, glad I did because that one seemed to lower in price a little after the new one came out. I don’t regret the decision, the new one is just so perfect to me

[@SuperMuffinsBf3]

It’s crazy how it’s easier to get it in Europe. With no effort I got 4 ATTE for 120€/each

[@willtaylor6793]

im glad it retails for actual retail price now, and the target near me is stocked full of them for the holidays.

[@trentoninnewjersey]

I completely get you I was 7 back in 2013 and had really wanted some of the bigger sets such as the 2013 AT-TE, as well as other big vehicle sets, but could never get them since they were expensive. Luckily I was able to save up money back during the summer to buy myself the new 75337 AT-TE. It was so much fun to build, and I even got through the entire Revenge Of The Sith, and most of Attack Of The Clones whilst building it. Yeah parts of it are inaccurate but I still really like it

[@dekisui]

What a journey, im glad it worked out in the end, and you did quite a bit of a legwork to get it; I almost succumbed to higher prices also, but ended up waiting like 3 months til the lego site had a second wave up. And lmao the end of the journey was exactly the same for me xD Watching your vid newly today, I may revamp my AT-TE to house my newest (bankruptcy inducing obession) of clone army building :'D

[@aidendecoto5244]

I finally picked up the Lego Slave 1. Sure, it is the $50 smaller version, but the younger version of me wouldn't have cared either. I had wanted that ship for so long

[@yogaforanxietywithjurateyo9682]

[@user-es2vr3cv1v]

Oh my gosh. 😂I watched till the end to support you in hunting. It’s an amazing story. I was so curious to know whether you got it or not eventually 🎉

[@dmytrok-ov9fn]

this video brings me joy! and i really want to visit a lego store some day.

[@ItsNep]

I had wanted an AT-TE and gunship since that first 2008 clone wars wave, I had wound up getting other big sets instead, notably the 07 MTT (which is still a phenomenal set). Got the walker recently and still have my fingers crossed for a gunship in the distant future.

[@Azrel00]

Great video man! I got flashback when I was getting my PS2 back in the day. I was already in front of my local mall hours before it was opened. cheers!

[@BrickOsBudProductions]

I can relate! I got mine for my birthday this new year I was glad they still had them in the Lego store, always wanted a at te as a kid

[@valentinhuber7717]

I live in germany and was able to order the set on the 2nd of August. I got it for only 95€ form a online shop called Alternate. But crazy to see how hard it was to get it in the US.

[@tomasmorales814]

I got so lucky to get mine. I randomly checked online and said the store had 4 in stock. I rushed over and got the second to last one.

[@amandamendoza9125]

That was a long day and you finally got it. It was your dream, right🎉🧐

[@McFrozenNuggets]

I hope to get my hands on this myself, bro. It would be awesome to have a big set for the prequel era in my collection as the two big sets I have are from the OT era, namely the 2015 _Millennium Falcon_ (I modded it to be OT centric), and the 2014 Imperial Star Destroyer. *Plus, adding on the four 501st Legion Clone Troopers sets I have alongside the AT-TE would look freaking awesome!

[@sansloscheletro3488]

The same thing happened to me with the lego horizon zero dawn set, i couldn't find it anywhere where i live (i live in italy). Fortunately when i went on a big store with my father i found it, they only had one left, so i bought it. Anyway i think that commander Cody will go up in price just like phase 2 captain Rex

[@RobertReynolds-vz3nb]

I am watching this in 2023 but I got the at-te for christmas and love it more than anyone could ever imagine it is by far the best one that Lego has ever relised it is so good

Just got this set for Christmas, It’s definitely a 10/10 would reccomend

[@Ali-Adamantium]

Ive never heard of a toy store increasing the price of a new toy because of the demand. There taking advantage of the desperation. Bunch of crooks!

[@user-wl6fu7ib2k]

Happy if your happy I want that for chrismas but I can’t buy it but it’s worth the wait I’ll be so happy when I get it.

[@Awax62]

I made the same stupid decision in 2013/14. I could’ve gotten the Stardestroyer, the At-te or the gunship, which I really wanted at the time, when my father took me to the local toy store and told me I could pick whatever I wanted. But my 7 year old self decided to buy the Anakins starfighter from the original Clone Wars 🫡.

[@HankyInTheTanky]

I just got this one myself, kinda, my wife said it’s my Christmas present 😭. But Im just glad I got it and I’m excited to build it and add it to my other All Terrain Walker collection

[@Habsfan56744]

Bro this was my exact experience it’s crazy

[@kyogre7917]

I know how it feels. For me, it was the 501st battle Pack. I could also buy the AT-TE by now but I already have the 2013 one. So I don't know if I should buy the new one.

[@GrizzlyCompany]

I picked up the AT-TE about 2 weeks ago. Well worth the wait.

[@Niklasoliver]

Haha, the ultimate "FeelsBadMan".. glad you finally got it.

[@lcthegreat642]

I went to my local toy shop with tge intent to buy 8 501st battle packs but then i saw the atte and without hesitation I immediately just bought it. Very cool set

[@jimx13]

I know how that feels I had to wait months for this thing I have been going to store by stores every single time when they say they have it in stock and when I get there they are already out I been doing this for months and now I been having for about almost six months. Right before Christmas happened.

[@brobro9281]

lol in my local stores there are so many instock and literally no one was buying it including me, it was the original price btw

[@tomechamusca]

lucky fella

[@brobro9281]

But I wasn’t allowed to buy it, sad

[@TheStarForge]

Dude, that much of a mark up is insane. 140 to 232 is not cool of that store, I can understand a mark up due to high demand, especially for a smaller store, but that much! No, sorry, I think anyone would have said no in that moment.

I made same stupid decision of buying 2 smaller sets instead of one big one with the 2008 Lego Star Wars gunship. Bought the corporate alliance tank droid and ahsoka’s starfighter with vulture droid instead. I’ve always regretted that!

[@frankiewild9931]

Homestly waiting to buy something is bad because if you are thinking to buy it, someone is going to buy it eventually, and thus will make that price more viable, and then it will make people up the price even more

[@BobIsAterrorist]

honestly the droid gunship and the at ap are absolutely beautiful sets honestly i would of chosen the same

Hey is that the lego store in Connecticut? I’m just asking because it’s my closest lego store and I was just wondering if it might be available.

There’s no reason to over pay for a current Lego set. They make tons of them they are not rear. Just because they aren’t in day one it will be on store shelves at some time.
