    I was wanting an ATTE since the clone wars version with ahsoka. I went for the gunship instead, which I don't regret cos that's a brilliant set too, but finally being able to get one, and it being the best one yet for a reasonable price was so good.

  • @brandonthetoyandgamecollector

    This videos always fun to come back to. The at-te has always been my favorite walker. As a kid when I was old enough to appreciate it I wanted the Hasbro one but never got it, and the LEGO ones always seemed out of reach, by 2008 I stopped asking for LEGO sets knowing I’d never get them. I didn’t own a LEGO atte until a few years ago, I got the 2013 one and I regrettably sold it, then I got the 2003 one which I later gave to my mom for her walker collection, ended up with another 2013 walker near complete, and sold that to get this new one, glad I did because that one seemed to lower in price a little after the new one came out. I don’t regret the decision, the new one is just so perfect to me

    I was 7 back in 2013 and had really wanted some of the bigger sets such as the 2013 AT-TE, as well as other big vehicle sets, but could never get them since they were expensive. Luckily I was able to save up money back during the summer to buy myself the new 75337 AT-TE. It was so much fun to build, and I even got through the entire Revenge Of The Sith, and most of Attack Of The Clones whilst building it. Yeah parts of it are inaccurate but I still really like it

    I had wanted an AT-TE and gunship since that first 2008 clone wars wave, I had wound up getting other big sets instead, notably the 07 MTT (which is still a phenomenal set). Got the walker recently and still have my fingers crossed for a gunship in the distant future.

    I also tried to get The AT TE in 2013 for Christmas when I was 10 but unfortunately I couldn't get it because my Parents didn't have enough money as we had fallen on hard times and we had just lost our house and most of our things a year prior due to financial difficulties, we had just moved to a new city in 2013 and for Christmas I really wanted this set as I saw it in the Lego store but my mom said we didn't have enough money, which was sad for me. We struggled for a long time after that but 10 years later we're back on top and I'm making my own money now and I ordered the 2022 set today and it felt so satisfying to finally buy it after never being able to afford it due to hard times.😎👍

    Homestly waiting to buy something is bad because if you are thinking to buy it, someone is going to buy it eventually, and thus will make that price more viable, and then it will make people up the price even more
