The instruction manual included is actually printed in color! Harder plastic might have helped as well. It is packed fairly well inside, a bit more care could have been taken with the legs, to prevent leg joint warpage. The pack-in Clone is visible from the front. It comes in a big box, covered with new Clone Wars designs.

“big enough” and serves fine as the cornerstone for many a diorama. Some will complain about the scale, but I believe it is

I have the good fortune to own an AT-TE from Hasbro, and let me tell you…Īfter quite a few years of wishing and whining we have a new, large vehicle. Hasbro did offer up replacement leg parts with improved joint stability, but if you missed that opportunity, you can follow his fairly easy guide yourself.Īnyway, without further ado, here is your blast-from-the-past review/photonovel/turorial by guest writer/photographer/handyman, sambuca. You may recall that the leg joints were extremely weak, and would slip and slide instead of locking into place, which made standing the AT-TE a major challenge. Then, he followed that up with a step by step tutorial of how to fix a glaring problem with the vehicle. First, he did a “photo novel” to show off the features of the AT-TE, out in the rugged terrain of his desert homeworld of Tatooine the American Southwest.

But the reason I’m going with it here is that sambuca did not one, but two special features.

He also had completed a full basic gallery (which we have updated for our more modern standards). (He’s a crafty one.).īack in ‘08 when this AT-TE was released, sambuca wrote the original (rather enthusiastic) review. Perhaps you’ve seen him around our Disqus comments, under the name sambuca. In preparing for this review, I had discovered that the original review from 2008 was quite the contribution made by our good friend and original Banthaskull forum member, sambuca.
