A polybag AT-AT with no minifig that costs more than it should — this one lands at an F and the grades back it up across the board.
Is the price fair?FWay too much for a 54-piece polybag with nothing extra to justify it.
Will you love it?CA small walker with no pilot and no memorable build moment — it's fine, but barely.
Holds its value?C-Appreciation is high, so sealed copies do gain ground — just not dramatically.

The Full Take
The First Order Heavy Assault Walker sounds cooler than it is. At 54 pieces and zero minifigs, it's a polybag that asks too much and delivers too little — the price grade is an F, and the love grade barely clears a C. There's no pilot, no interesting build moment, no shelf centerpiece; just a small walker that could have been a Happy Meal toy. The one bright spot is appreciation sitting at 9.0 — retired Star Wars polybags do tend to move over time, which is the only reason this isn't a total wash for someone who bought it sealed at retail. But if you're a builder, a display collector, or a parent shopping for a kid, this set has nothing to offer that justifies the price it commanded.
