By this I mean it should be able to hold more People. Luckily If you have various pieces you should be able to change this. For example, if you take out the board that the two snowtroopers fit on and replace it with a stationary board ( Stationary as in not moving, not paper) you can fit three more minifigures. Also if you place an eight by eight board in the middle top, and replace a piece over it (which hinders the head space) you can fit roughly five more minifigures. The last adaption you can do is to place a board piece in the back of the AT-AT to allow even more room. I could not, however, find any way to allow more room in the head. One more thing is that there is extra storage space in the far front for an astromech droid or something. To end I must say that there should be one or two more snowtroopers in this set. Overall this is a great set although it could be a bit cheaper.

I had always wanted the original 2004 release, however at the time couldn't afford it, and I never really liked the look of the motorized version that came out a year or two ago (the body looked badly disproportional in my opinion). However when this version came out, I had to get it. This release looks wonderful, the build is sturdy, and overall is easily my favorite Lego set I own. The build was pretty good overall; you start with the inner structure of the body, then the four legs, the body panels, and finally the head. All was nothing too challenging, and the design is very well put together. The legs of course do get tedious as you're replicating the same thing four times, but alas it's not something you couldn't avoid. The method used to get the correct angles for the body panels is really good and all keep their shape very well. The detail in the legs is really cool. There are stickers for the decals (such as the viewport on the head and the computer screens inside), however I wish that the dishes for the leg joints could have come with the printed designs that were on the previous versions. For the pros, I would say just the sheer size of the set makes it. It stands so much taller than anything else I have, and it's a wonderful display piece. The detail worked into this set (even though it has less pieces than the previous versions) is very good, from the use of shovels and hammers for the ear turrets to the handlebars and revolver pistols used for detailing on it's 'hindquarters'. All of this really makes it a great Lego incarnation of what we see in the movies. This set does have its cons though. Primarily, I would say the management of the space inside. The head can only fit one minifig (although, there would be no real way around this without blowing the head out of proportion). There is a troop section in the middle chunk of the body; however there is a rather large empty space in the rear part. However, I made use of this space while customizing my set by putting in an 'engine' (I'm including a picture of what I built for this empty space). This is the only reason why I didn't give this set a perfect rating for its money value. The minifigs and accessories included are suitable; all of the Imperials are real
