My son got the AT-ST Raider for Christmas, so while this technically doesn't count as a quasi-quarantine build, it did "fall" under mysterious circumstances recently, requiring a bit of a rebuild.
This 540-piece set features the AT-ST from "The Mandalorian," marked by striking coloration intended to represent a "cannibalized look." According to Wookieepedia, the Klatooinians took control of and hacked abandoned imperial weaponry after the fall of the Galactic Empire.
Two of these Klatooinian raiders come with the set, along with the Mandalorian and Cara Dune, his ruggedly sensual mercenary sidekick. The AT-ST itself has spring-loaded rockets, two movable guns ("boomers") on the top section, and a wheel-activated turret that duplicates the distinctive motion of all-terrain transports.
As the procurer of seemingly dozens of Lego Star Wars sets, I can say that the AT-ST Raider is among the most clever and visually compelling of these sets. The intricacy of the transport itself combined with the four unique and rare minifigures that come with the set make this set a steal and a must-have for serious Star Wars fans.
I can report that it's also relatively easy to cobble back together after mysterious falls.
