Brickfanatics visited the London Toy Fair and says about this set:

• 75147 Captain Rex’s AT-TE walker – £99.99
  5 minifigs. complete rebuild from previous versions. more robust.

[GiliusThunderhead]

You mean robust enough to carry their dinner carcass around for a month

Seriously interested to see what this one looks like - was thinking about getting the second incarnation for the personal collection.  Looking forward to some photos of this one but am I right in thinking the London Toy fair doesnt allow photos?

[Alpinemaps]

Correct, no photos in London but next week's show in Germany I think does allow pictures.

This set should be interesting since it's a bit modified in Rebels. I'm definitely curious to see it. Plus I'm sure we'll be getting an old Rex mini

Maybe. Maybe not, if I read the description of this set at Brickset:

This too fell below my expectations, although it is quite a good set on the whole and I was perhaps too optimistic before seeing the model. I am impressed by the interior detail and the general shape of the model is accurate to the television series but it is smaller than I had anticipated and the bright colours of the platforms on the vehicle look odd in LEGO. Some colourful panelling appears on the AT-TE in Rebels but this is badly worn, an effect which cannot be replicated using the colours which are available to LEGO designers at present.

Captain Rex, Commander Wolffe and Gregor are included along with a Stormtrooper and an Inquisitor. The labelling did not specify which Inquisitor this is and the actual minifigure was not shown but I would assume it will be either the Seventh Sister or the Fifth Brother as both have only appeared in season two just like the Clones and their AT-TE.

Will wait for a direct comparison between this set and 75019 AT-TE before I make up my mind.

I'm guessing I need to watch Rebels to have an appreciation for this set. 

[Rodeogeorge]

That's a hodgepodge

[Ma-gic]

What's the view of this affecting the resell pri've of the current AT-TE?

I think the new one is to busy...looks to me the designer trying to cramp a lot of features in the model?

Btw, what's the rrp for this set?

It is pretty close to the source material. Question is, is the blue landing pad big enough for the Phantom set ?

with some overhang based on what i see in box pics   so far scale has been pretty bad in rebels.  heck, my son needs to remove the front half (cockpit) of The Phantom just so it looks sorta with scale when docked in The Ghost.

I don't think it will have much impact on the 75019 that retired since they are quite different.  That one was the third iteration, so this release will probably put a remake of the movie version further down the line.

I liked the concept of this AT-TE in the show, and I think it's cool that they're making a set out of it.  Pretty cool idea to have retired clones living in some old modified clone war tanks.  It's definitely a hodge podge, but that's the point.  I don't think it's going to have any legs post retirement, but still a cool set IMO.

[giannini78]

I like the look of this kit.

[Darth_Raichu]

Just to answer my own question, the blue platform has enough room for the Phantom to land on it

[TheOrcKing]

[Malachi1984]

Kinda looks like it's got a swimming pool slapped on the back of it don't look like a landing pad to me. There's a few nice play features but overall looks a bit confusing rrp £99.99 & I would think in US probably be about $130 i might be wrong.

[jcamdenlane]

It's quirky, but it's a very fun set.  While it doesn't come with a dedicated rope assembly for "big bongo" fishing, the spare pieces include 2 lengths of the stud-ended rope used for the cranes.  Attached together and then connected to the cannon barrel, they work as a perfect ad hoc solution.  You just put a stud backpack piece on Zeb and you're good to go.

I like the look of it, but it goes against my rule of not buying anything from Rebels.

Why would you have a rule about not buying from Rebels?

[Alpinemaps]

I've heard now, from multiple people, that this is a "fun" build.  It does look like a fun build.  I wasn't a fan of TCW, but like Rebels, and enjoyed this episode.  I like the look of this set.

I'm a collector, not a seller and I only buy kits from the original trilogy and so far TFA.

I don't buy anything from the prequel trilogy as I didn't rate them and I don't watch Rebels.
