redghostx Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi, I recall reading speculation of an update of this set and I am considering buying a used one, mostly to rebuild and display but I wanted some feedback on if the set is as impressive as it looks in photos. It seems that some remakes/updates affect prices of older sets and some don't, so any insight into that would help my decision making process (I certainly don't need to display both if a new one is released). Thanks! Edit - **I am surprised that there is no topic for this set** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I am in the middle of building one at the moment to see if it is complete. I built one last year, that was not quite complete and it still looked good. This one is looking to be 99-100% complete so far, only missing 3 1x3 plates. I hope to list mine on eBay within the next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Nader Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I too am surprised that there really isn't much discussion on the UCS AT-AT on the internet in general, in my opinion it's the best one lego has made so far. Anyways I myself don't have an AT-At, but from what I have heard on the internet is that it's pretty big and detailed (specifically this version) and in my opinion I would say try to find one at a decent price (<$200). It's a really cool set if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I have built this several times to flip and had to keep one for myself. Just recently got another one with almost all sealed bags 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amnesiac Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 There isn't a UCS AT-AT. 10178 is just a system scale set. REALLY???? I would LOVE to see what a UCS treatment of a AT-AT would look like!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackables Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I was hoping the new one coming out would be motorized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Nader Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 There isn't a UCS AT-AT. 10178 is just a system scale set. Whoops my bad. It makes sense though now that I think about it. I probably mistaken it for being a UCS set because its set number starts with 10178. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 OK, finished building mine. Had to replace half a dozen small pieces. Starting at a high price to see if there are any bites. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291054930169?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649#ht_975wt_1141 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxofcorey Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Are the minifigs in this set unique at all or exclusive to this set? Grabbed a never been built one on Craigslist for 50 but it had no figs. Probably going to keep it anyway but the completionist in me feels the need to complete the set. Have a million snow troopers but the Luke, Veers and AT-AT Driver I don't think I have unless they appear in multiple sets.

jeff_14 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I have this set (it's not in front of me at the moment) and I don't believe recall these figs being exclusive, though Veers might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that set as well and don't recall the figs looking any different. BTW, I have some 8084s that I could be persuaded to part with.

jeff_14 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'll have to check on the reversible head. I have 4 8084s, plus 4 of the matching rebel troop set 8083, all factory sealed and in great condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cashmoney-0 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm planning on selling my used motorized at-at this December. I think all the pieces are there but I can't be sure as the at-AT is taken apart, but, not in individual pieces. So should I sell out as 99.9-100% complete and show the pictures of the printed pieces? Should I take apart every individual piece? I have the minifigs, instructions, and the box. Is it even worth selling the box or its that just going to be a pain to ship when I can easily fit everything in a much smaller box? I've never sold a used set before and any advice would be appreciated! Sent from my LG-D801 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Put it together and take pictures of it once you replace any missing pieces. I just sold one for $250 with the box. It cost about $20 to ship. Edited October 2, 2014 by Migration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus001 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'd advice you to be sure that no parts are missing. I wouldn't sell (nor buy) anything that says 99%-100% complete (even if you state that no significant pieces could probably be amiss). Putting it together always is good for picture taking, when I buy something on ebay for myself though I usually prefer it if it's all in the original box and not already build. But I don't know if that really has a big impact on selling the item as there will also be people who prefer it the other way around (only weird strange people!!! ;-) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neosphinx Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 100% complete structures and minifigures you can put. I also advise building it and taking pictures. You'll get more money. A picture of the set complete will attract more Lego novices that thinks it looks cool instead of having Lego Set nr XXXX for sale and a picture of a lot of gray pieces.

Locutus001 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Yeah but you can probably just take a picture from the internet... I mean is it really important that you take the picture yourself? Costs more time and if you're not good the pictures often look crappy enough to frighten potential buyer away ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you need to take the picture yourself. It's second hand, you can't just put a stock pic on it. All my pictures look crappy, but I have relative good succes in second hand market compared to people that use stock pics or no pics at all.

Migration Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I don't buy anything on eBay unless I see a pic of what I'm actually buying. Put it together, take your pictures, take it apart. Put the pieces in zip lock bags. I shipped mine in a LEGO Shop at Home box that my sons Benny's Spaceship came in. Having the box will give you an extra 10-15% for this set.
