One of the most popular sub-series in recent years has been the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection, which allows fans to build and display detailed recreations of legendary helmets from across the saga. From Darth Vader and Boba Fett to Clone Troopers and Rebel pilots, these helmets have become must-have collectibles, blending LEGO’s signature building experience with stunning display pieces. Now, the latest addition to the series, the AT-AT Driver Helmet, is ready to join the ranks! Read on to discover more about this exciting new release and why it's a must-have for Star Wars and LEGO enthusiasts alike.
Set Details
The LEGO Star Wars AT-AT Driver Helmet (75429) is a great addition to the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection, capturing the distinctive design of the Imperial AT-AT drivers from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Comprising 730 pieces, this set offers a building experience that showcases excellent construction techniques. Notably, the helmet's structure deviates from previous models by utilizing angled panels connected to a Technic core, allowing for more accurate shaping around the face and respirator housings. The helmet's colour reflects the on-screen appearance of the AT-AT drivers, distinguishing it from other Imperial helmets in the series. Detailed features include printed Imperial insignias and carefully designed mechanical elements above the eyes, enhancing the model's authenticity. Measuring over 19 cm in height, 13 cm in width, and 14 cm in depth, the helmet comes with a display stand and nameplate, making it an impressive piece for any collection.
