At first I thought it had been opened then resealed but I was happy to see I was wrong. It's an old set so the tape was barely holding on. Shipper did a great job packaging it and it was a fun build with my son.This was a fun build that brought back some memories of building Lego sets from the Clone Wars series. I love that it looks practically the same as it appeared on the Star Wars Rebels episodes in Season 2 of the TV show. Even the discolored leg is the same!I'm glad that there were 5 characters. The 3 retired clone wars captains/commanders, the sith inquisitor and an Imperial Storm Trooper!If you've already purchased AT-TE Walkers in the past the main difference in this set (besides some artistic additions/changes on the exterior) is the fact that the rear area is functional compared to the original AT-TE sets and now it's more like an office/command center which I greatly appreciated.I hope that I was able to answer some questions you had or helped peaked your interest in this set! It's a good one. :D(Review from 8 year old Lego fanatic)Summary: The set came with 8 bags. I think this product deserves 4.5 stars. This has been one of my favorite sets.Pros:* The set came with cool mini-figures.* Lots of play value* Lots of fun to build.* Set provides useful Technic bricks.Cons:* The front armor was designed in such a way that it couldn't be opened. This wasted a lot of space and made it less fun to play with. I modified the sides so that the front armor opened (which ended up being a fun modification).* You cannot push the light saber blades for the mini-figures in and out of the hilt. This is a general criticism and not specific to this set.Great item!The instructions were quite clear and to the pointAwesomeGreat lego set, however, if you child is a lego master at putting together these models, then I recommend a higher count of pieces. My 9yr old worked on this for 6hrs and completed it in one day....I was hoping it would be at least 2 days of entertainment. This one has a 972 count, next time I would buy at least 1,200 piece count.I purchased this for my 11 year old grandson and he loves Legos. It was a great price and I thought there was enough pieces that it would challenge him and take him a little longer to assemble. Well he loved putting it together but he's just so good at assembling and he is so addicted to putting them together that he had it finished in half a day.Great set but our set was missing a whole bag of pieces (bag 6) and all the minifigures were missing. Lego has excellent customer service though and sorted us out, but my son was initially disappointed when we were building and realized we would have to wait for the missing pieces to ship. Now that it's all together though, this set is a beauty!Great product however shipping was terrible it was not packaged at all shipping labels were just stuck on the face of the box which when we tried to remove them they tore the face picture not good for collectors & the box itself looked like it was dragged behind the truck all the way to our house.Great product, great lego set and a fun build. Took me a few hours but had a blast. Wish more figs came with it cause it is so big. Big improvement over the other AT-TE that came out few years before. Some of the colour scheme seemed off as the colours are odd and stick out. Over all was a very fun and quality purchaseMi hijo quería un lego grande de Star Wars y este cumplió a la perfección, trae 6 personajes y casi mil piezas. Muy divertido!.Pour mes petits
