Forget any unpleasant memories of past holiday-themed Star Wars releases, as a delightful new addition is set to brighten festive seasons: the LEGO Star Wars Gingerbread AT-AT Walker. This unique set, priced at $60, will be available starting October 1st. While pre-orders aren`t an option, enthusiasts can add it to their wishlist on the official LEGO store to receive notifications upon release, a wise move given the anticipated high demand for this festive collectible.
Comprising 697 pieces, the Gingerbread AT-AT Walker stands over 7.5 inches tall, adorned with whimsical holiday lights, candy canes, and decorative icing-like trim, reminiscent of a classic gingerbread house. Every part of the walker has received a festive makeover, including the Darth Vader minifigure, which appears reimagined as a gingerbread cookie, complete with a candy cane and a piece of cake.
The set also features several interactive elements. A side wall opens to reveal a cozy interior scene with a fireplace, a table, stockings, and a stack of gifts. The AT-AT`s legs are posable, and its cockpit can be opened to comfortably seat a minifigure.
For those seeking more holiday-inspired Star Wars items, the Star Wars Advent Calendar is currently available at a discounted price of $38 (originally $45) at Walmart and Amazon. This calendar includes 24 LEGO toys, such as C-3PO and BB-8, for festive display or play. Various other LEGO Advent Calendars, featuring themes like Minecraft, Disney, and Friends, are also on offer.
Additionally, Walmart`s extensive “Bricktember Event” offers significant discounts on numerous non-holiday LEGO Star Wars sets throughout the month. Highlights include the LEGO Star Wars: Clone Wars & Mandalorian Gift Set, reduced to $45 (from $63). This 423-piece collection allows the construction of three distinct sets: the Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack, Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack, or Captain Rex’s Y-Wing Microfighter, accompanied by a selection of minifigures. Many Bricktember deals are bundles of two LEGO sets at a reduced price, such as:

- AT-ST Walker UCS + Darth Vader Bundle – $210 (was $280)
- Kylo Ren Helmet & Darth Vader Helmet 2-in-1 Bundle – $99 (was $150)
