Same. Kind of expected.

Wondering what can delay this set so much. Can't be the clone as they are usually faster to produce than other figures. Possibly technical issues with the AT-RT?

I assume the legs of the AT-RT. Multiple joints carrying a lot of weight on thin legs. Either they will be weak and the thing topples, be too stiff and people crack joints, have screws to loosen/tighten as needed or easiest option: create a support stand that plugs in underneath for when it is posed standing. They are taking their time so maybe they are trying to make the joints work right while also developing a stand too. Maybe. Just speculation.

What i suspect as well. Going from prototype to production gotta be challenging for this kind of stuff. Hopefully, we don't end up with an awful translucent plastic support like we did with the BARC speeder.

Aweful translucent support is very likely

I don’t think it will have a stand. I’m sure it will be a balancing issue, but I think we’ll still get really close to what the pics show.
