Still not convinced the underrated 10195 Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker is worth getting?

The only reason I bought the 10195 was because I was able to get it at a pretty good discount and shipped for free from Target.com. After I got, assembled, played with, and displayed it I would gladly pay full price for it. It really is an excellent set.

Glad to see it works well with the new Turbo Tank. With a few parts it also works well with the motorized AT-AT.

I got it, but my birthday's Thursday so I'll have to wait until then!

Oh and this one

I like it! Cool!

I wish I could just pick up the dropship only somewhere...the AT-OT doesn't do that much for me.

I know it's all just fantasy and the driving force behind the entire thing is making money but sometimes I wonder just what the people making this stuff up are on.

A 47 foot long, 20 foot tall, eight legged, armored transport with seats for 34 fully loaded out for combat troops, that's made out of some sort of magnetic material weighs less than 40 tons? And a carrier designed solely for the purpose of carrying heavily armored transports into combat can only lift 40 tons?

We've got Helicopters capable of picking up over 20 tons of payload and we don't have the benefit of repulsorlifts. The record for a Helicopter is over 44 tons of payload. I won't even get into fixed wing aircraft.

Oh well, in my little corner of that fantasy galaxy the LAAT/c is capable of lifting an AT-AT and I try my best to ignore a lot of the technical discrepancies.

Anyway, back on topic...

Here is a video LAAT/c carrying an AT-AT, proving it is possible.

*EDIT Same video posted by Boyfromvalley 3 posts ago.

Dose anyone have a photo of the dropship carrying the AT-TE. I modified one of my MOCs to do that with my AT-TE but still there are a few problems with it.

Love thte video of the dropship hauling the 8274 Combine Harvester. Just what the Empire needs for those urgent deployments when the cereal stocks get low!! It likely saw a lot of action in the Corn Wars The dropship carrying the AT-AT wasn't as impressive as I expected. It kinda reminds me of those nature films where you see an eagle flying away with a rabbit it's just caught
