Head-to-head
LEGO Star Wars Imperial AT-AT vs LEGO Star Wars R2-D2
Both built. Both reviewed. Here's how they actually compare on the things that matter.
Set #75313
LEGO Star Wars Imperial AT-AT
Tallest UCS Star Wars set ever. The presence on a shelf is unmatched, and the openable cabin sells the fantasy.
Set #75308
LEGO Star Wars R2-D2
Punches way above its piece count. The rotating dome, the periscope reveal, the 40th anniversary minifig — it all just works.

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2
Pros
- Rotating dome and a hidden periscope/saber-launcher gimmick
- Includes a tiny 40th anniversary R2 minifig with bronze plaque
