One of my favorite Star Wars vehicles and the LEGO set I always wanted growing up was the AT-AT from Star Wars, so when the LEGO® Star Wars™ AT-AT™ USC #75313 was announced on November 2021, I set alarm to order it at the moment it released.
I also ordered the Defense of Hoth #40557 and two of the Snowtrooper Battle Pack #75320 sets to build a small battlefield near it. Originally I planned to buy a bunch of the snowtropper battle packs to fill up the transport seats inside the AT-AT, but then I realized after the first two that I'm probably never going to have that visible so it'd be a waste. At the time there wasn't a white baseplate in release, but white baseplate #11026 came out by the time I got around to building it, so alls well that ends well.
My only complaints about this behemoth is the side door doesn't nicely stay open at 90 degrees and the command room can't stay open, though you can easily remove these covers so a better view.
