As the turret turns, it must twist and tighten up the wires, until one gave out. But I wouldn't like to try it if I wasn't careful! Did I read somewhere that the AT-TE came apart easily for storage? Wouldn't like to see difficult, then - My heart was in my mouth a few times taking the turret off - it does snap off, question was, what was going to snap first!! If you have a delicate touch with a soldering iron, it's easy to do, but the wires are tight and the switches are very small, so be warned!

Anyone else had this issue? Legs seem fine now at least - hurrah for toy shops selling them 1/2 price!!!

This walker needs to come with a (LATT\c) and a AT-XT if you ask me. If you are wondering why it needs to come with a AT-XT is because the AT-XT comes with a plasma shield.

Legs falling off and doors flying open - the things that shoot from the "guns" getting lost and the batteries wear out in 2 days - and that's not even using it all the time. What a waste of money. I'll never buy hasbro again. Ever. Tonight I will attempt to glue the legs on perminately. My son is so excited he may get to play with it again. He got it for his birthday and got may be 2 days play of it. He had asked for it for a year! I got it on sale for $70 or it would never have entered my home! Yep – same problem.

Something to look forward to on the legs. My problem is that when I put it together, guess what, I had two of the RL legs instead of one and missing the front RF front leg! I hope Hasbro can replace that leg and maybe all of them if there is that much trouble? Great! Something to look forward to on the legs.

Even the replacement legs get worn very fast and your back to the same problem as before. Legs popping off. This isn't the first time I have questions Hasbro's quality as of late. I am afraid Hasbro doesn't know what it means to make a quality toy any longer. It doesn’t last. Even the replacement legs get worn very fast and your back to the same problem as before.

He gets so mad because the legs fall off all of the time. I thought about contacting Hasbro about it to see if in fact this is a defect. My husband has said that he is going to superglue the legs on. My son played with it for about 25 minutes and has not played with it since because of the legs falling off. He keeps saying that it is broke! My son has everything you could think of Star Wars. We have spent so much money on these toys. I wish they made the toys like they use to. Nothing came apart. Everytime we get him a new guy, I have to take all of the little parts that come with it and put it in container that I keep all of that stuff in. I have at least 3 containers full of the little stuff. They need to make this stuff so that the kids can actually play with it and not only for the adults that collect it and keep it in the container for years to come. If anyone has any information about contacting Hasbro about this ship, I would greatly appreciate that information. I have greatly disappointed with this toy, especially for the price of it. Believe me, we have spent hundreds on ships for him and it seems that all of them have parts that won't stay on, but I was hoping that this was the last of the ships that I was going to have that problem with. JUST MAKE THE TOYS SIMPLE FOR KIDS!!!! They don't need all of that extra stuff. Yes, it looks cool at first (in the box) but when they actually play with it, they don't care about all of the other gagets. My husband as all of his star wars stuff from when he was a kid and my son plays the old star wars toys more than he does the new stuff because they are all in one peice.
