$150 for a First Order walker that isn't even the one from the movies — LEGO® delivered a C-tier set at an A-tier price, and the AT-AT laughs from across the shelf.

The Full Take
The First Order Heavy Assault Walker has a branding problem: it's a knockoff of an icon, and at $150, LEGO® charged like it wasn't. The build itself is competent — the legs have some mechanical interest and the cockpit section is decently detailed — but nothing here surprises a builder who's put together bigger Star Wars sets. Five minifigs for this price point feels thin, and the overall silhouette lacks the commanding shelf presence you'd want to justify the footprint. The C overall isn't a disaster, it's just a set that never quite figures out what it wants to be. If you're a completionist of the sequel-era Imperial stuff, it fills a slot — otherwise, there are better ways to spend $150 in this theme.
