Imperial AT-Hauler

Description

Moving freight, not firing lasers

An empire the size of the one in Star Wars depends on supply lines, and the AT-Hauler is part of that unglamorous machinery. It picks up cargo containers with its long arms and carries them between landing pads and depots. The craft can be seen in Rogue One, working in the background while the main story unfolds. Having a utility vehicle on the shelf adds some everyday realism to a Star Wars collection that otherwise tends to be all fighters and battle stations.

An unusual palette for the Empire

White is the leading colour, with reddish brown, dark bluish grey and blue following behind. That is a surprisingly varied mix for an Imperial vehicle and makes the model stand out beside the grey ships the Empire is known for. The set has 49 pieces and 23 distinct elements, and no minifigures. Brown and blue parts tend to be useful in all sorts of builds, from spaceports to street scenes, so they are worth keeping once the hauler comes apart.

Small build, room for play

The build is quick and suits younger fans well, with no tricky stages to slow things down. Once finished, the hauler can be moved around a table easily, and a small container built from your own bricks gives it something to carry, which turns a display model into a toy with a job to do. On a shelf, it fits alongside other vehicles from the same era and breaks up a row of fighters with a very different silhouette.

Keeping track of the pieces

The parts list on this page shows each of the 23 distinct elements with its colour and quantity, so confirming that a used copy is complete takes very little time. If a piece has gone missing, you can find its number there and replace it. The What can I build? feature then compares your collection with other sets and lists those you could already build, which is a good way to give these white, brown and blue parts a new purpose.
