What reviewers are saying

"It's beautiful. Seriously. You know with most sets, you glance at them and that's it? With this set, you look at it and get an inner feeling of 'that's awesome' every time."

Ecosystem

6210 — Unlike 6210, the 10174 AT-ST has maintained stable pricing over the years and has not seen significant market inflation, making it a better long-term value

TIE Interceptor (first UCS set) — The AT-ST is substantially better designed and has aged far more gracefully. The TIE Interceptor is described as 'pretty atrocious by today's standards' while the AT-ST, coming out 6 years later, 'has aged infinitely better.'

X-Wing (first UCS set) — The AT-ST significantly outperforms the early X-Wing in design sophistication and longevity, having aged much better over time.

Later UCS Star Wars sets — The AT-ST is smaller and less imposing than modern or recent UCS sets, which impacts its excitement factor in the collector community, though it remains a solid classic design that fits well into modern collections.
