Star Wars enthusiasts will find this build rewarding due to its high piece count and multiple figures, making it a centrepiece on any shelf.
How does the build experience compare?

Where to buy in the UK
- BuyMyBricks 75002. BuyMyBricks verifies the seal on each AT-RT, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition and offering UK delivery with a 30-day return policy.
- BuyMyBricks 75112. General Grievous is also sealed at BuyMyBricks, guaranteeing its pristine state upon arrival and providing the same UK delivery and returns options.
- eBay UK. Buy from eBay UK for similar prices but be cautious about seal verification; sellers may not ensure the set is sealed properly.
- BrickLink. EU-based sellers on BrickLink offer both sets, with international postage and potential customs issues to consider.
- Amazon UK. Amazon UK third-party listings can provide competitive pricing but may lack the same level of seal verification as BuyMyBricks.
Both AT-RT and General Grievous are in stock at BuyMyBricks, making it the obvious starting point for UK collectors. Their sealed condition ensures all printed elements remain intact, preserving the set’s integrity.
Why does sealed matter for these sets?
The AT-RT has a unique open-topped design that can be damaged if not handled carefully, while General Grievous requires precise sticker handling to avoid peeling or damage.
Sealed copies are crucial for both sets as they ensure all printed elements remain intact and prevent any potential damage from handling used copies. AT-RT’s open structure is particularly vulnerable, making a sealed version the best choice.
General Grievous’ intricate sticker work also benefits from being sealed, ensuring all details stay in place for long-term enjoyment.
How BuyMyBricks verifies sealed retired LEGO
Every sealed retired LEGO copy on the BuyMyBricks shelf has been through a five-point inspection at our Yorkshire warehouse before it gets listed for sale. The same inspection runs on every retired set we hold, regardless of theme or price band, because the failure modes for retired LEGO are mostly theme-agnostic.
What we check on every box, in order: (1) Original factory seal stickers on every flap, intact, with no peel-and-restick edges. (2) Tape integrity across the top and bottom seams, with no replacement adhesive. (3) Set-number match against the box artwork and the LEGO part number printed on the back. (4) Box-condition pass for crushing, tears, water damage, or storage warping that would compromise a display copy. (5) Photographic record of every face of the box, kept on file against the listing.
If a box fails any of those five checks on arrival, it does not get listed. If a sealed set reaches you in a state that does not match our description, we refund in full. That is what makes us a specialist rather than a marketplace.
The retired LEGO authentication checklist
Whether you buy from BuyMyBricks or compare elsewhere, these are the seven checks that separate a verified sealed copy from a damaged or fake one. Every retired LEGO listing on the BuyMyBricks shelf has passed all seven before it goes live. If you are buying on the open market instead, run the list yourself before you part with money:
- Original factory seal stickers on every box flap, intact and not lifting at the corners.
- Tape integrity across all seams — original LEGO tape only, no replacement adhesive.
- Set-number match between the printed front of the box and the LEGO part number on the back.
- Box edges and corners free of crushing, denting, water damage, or storage warping.
- No re-shrinkwrapping — resealed copies often have looser, foggier shrinkwrap than factory-sealed copies.
- Country-correct artwork matching the LEGO part-number suffix (EU vs NA vs UK box variants).
- Photographic provenance — clear, well-lit photos of every face of the box from the seller.
Storing and displaying retired LEGO sets
A sealed retired LEGO box is a long-term object. Three storage rules keep a sealed copy in the same state it left our warehouse, whether you plan to display it sealed, build it years later, or hold it as part of a curated collection.
Keep boxes flat or upright, never stacked under heavy weight. Stack pressure crushes corners over time, especially on lighter cardboard from older System and Speed Champions lines. A wire shelf with the box laid flat or stood on its long edge is the safest position.
Stable temperature and low humidity. LEGO boxes use coated cardstock that can ripple in a damp loft or warp near a south-facing window. A bookshelf in a heated room at normal indoor humidity is fine. A garage, an unheated outbuilding, or direct sunlight is not.
Plastic UV-shielding sleeves are optional but help. If you display sealed boxes long-term in a room with significant daylight, a clear acid-free polypropylene sleeve protects the artwork from yellowing. Specialist LEGO box-protector sleeves are available in standard sizes that match most retired releases.
If you plan to build the set rather than hold it sealed, the only thing to watch for is sticker-sheet drying-out: stickers from the early 2010s can lose adhesion in very dry storage. Build within five to seven years of release if you intend to apply the original stickers.
