AAT

"The 2015 AAT earns a Mixed Reviews BrickScore of 59.0: kids and casual collectors will find a fun, sturdy, play-ready vehicle at a fair price, but fans of the older, larger versions are likely to feel short-changed by the reduced scale and absence of surface detail."

Reviewers are genuinely split on the 2015 AAT: JANG and BrickQueen found it a well-designed, fairly priced vehicle with good play features and movie-accurate aesthetics, while Solid Brix Studios called it a significant step backward from older versions, comparing it unfavorably to a blown-up Microfighters set. Owner ratings average 4.06 out of 5 across 17 ratings, suggesting buyers are generally satisfied, though critics at the lower end warn that collectors and fans aged 13 and up will be disappointed by the reduced size and lack of printed detail.

Where they split: The central disagreement is whether the smaller scale is an acceptable trade-off or a dealbreaker. JANG argues the reduced size is appropriate and the aesthetics are actually an improvement over prior versions. Solid Brix Studios takes the opposite view, calling it an inferior Microfighters blow-up with no printed detail and recommending buyers skip it in favor of the 1999 original. Critics score it as low as 45 and as high as 75, reflecting genuine disagreement about design quality.
