AT-TE (sand) blues
I'm going to start with an admission and a grumble... because I was away at the weekend playing Lego with my 7-yr old niece for the first time since August last year, I didn't log on to the Lego website until lunchtime on Saturday. By which time, the Tatooine homestead freebie was already out of stock! WTF... OK, so I was slow off the mark but surely Lego should make sure they have enough to last more than 10% of the way through their promotion period. 10%!!! Anyway, I've got my R2 order in (already despatched) and have reluctantly stumped up for the homestead on Ebay. Back home now and today's build was the last of the AT-TEs - the 2003 version ( 4482 ). This was another Ebay purchase but came in pretty good condition and was nearly correct/complete. It's also full of some pretty interesting bricks - no less than 11 of them go for more than £5 each on Bricklink and the estimated "new" cost of a rebuild is a whopping £742. A surpris...
