As cool as the LEGO Star Wars AT-AT (75313) and the LEGO Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser (75367) are, not everyone is prepared to drop 650–800 bucks, and/or has the shelf space to spare. This is where micro builds, like the new LEGO Star Wars AT-AT (75440) and the LEGO Star Wars Venator-Class Attack Cruiser (75441), come in. They are designed small, allowing more such awesomeness to populate your home without you needing to buy another house.
LEGO clearly understands that not every Star Wars fan wants a centerpiece that doubles as furniture. The AT-AT (75440) shrinks one of the Empire’s most intimidating machines into a desk-friendly display, without losing the drama that made it iconic. This mid-scale build recreates the Battle of Hoth in frozen time, complete with a Rebel snowspeeder looping its tow cable around the walker’s legs. It is cinematic, nostalgic, and slightly cruel to the AT-AT, which feels correct.
Despite its compact footprint, the detailing is sharp. The walker’s proportions read instantly as AT-AT, the pose gives it motion, and the included display stand with nameplate makes it feel like a miniature museum piece rather than just another model. With 525 pieces, it is a relaxing build that rewards patience instead of demanding a weekend off.
On the other side of the galaxy, the LEGO Star Wars Venator-Class Attack Cruiser (75441) takes a different approach. Where the AT-AT is all about ground-level chaos, the Venator is pure fleet commander energy. Its sleek silhouette, bold red striping, and angular hull capture the look of the Republic’s workhorse capital ship as seen in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. This one is designed to sit proudly on display, broadcasting serious prequel-era authority.
The Venator build includes a removable top section that reveals the hangar bay, a nice touch that adds depth without overcomplicating the model. At 643 pieces, it is more involved than the AT-AT, but still very manageable. It fits neatly into LEGO’s growing lineup of mid-scale Star Wars display models, striking a balance between detail and sanity.
In terms of size, the AT-AT measures over 17 cm tall, 19 cm long, and 11 cm wide, or about 6.5 by 7.5 by 4.5 inches. The Venator-Class Attack Cruiser comes in at over 15 cm tall, 31 cm long, and 16 cm wide, translating to roughly 6 by 12 by 6 inches. Both are ideal for desks, shelves, or that awkward empty spot you keep pretending does not exist.
Key specs and features include 525 pieces for the AT-AT and 643 pieces for the Venator, buildable display stands with nameplates, screen-accurate proportions, and designs clearly aimed at adult fans who want Star Wars without committing to a full renovation.
The LEGO Star Wars AT-AT (75440) is available now for US$64.99, and the LEGO Star Wars Venator-Class Attack Cruiser (75441) can be had for US$79.99 as we speak.
