What Makes the LAAT/LE Different
The Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron LAAT/LE is not your typical Republic gunship. This 9-inch vehicle is based on the version seen in Star Wars: Ahsoka, serving Admiral Thrawn. It brings a mix of play features and display appeal that sets it apart from earlier LAAT models in the line.
If you are deciding whether to add this to your collection, the key question is how much you value the Ahsoka-specific design and the included Night Trooper figures. This guide breaks down the confirmed features and helps you match them to your collecting style.
Confirmed Features of the LAAT/LE
- STAR WARS™ Micro Galaxy Squadron LAAT/LE: This brand new 9-inch vehicle dives into battle with an opening canopy and side doors, trooper bay, rotating wings, retractable landing gear, removable engine covers, laser cannons, space for six figures, and authentic details from Star Wars: Ahsoka. These are the features you will actually use or display. The opening canopy and side doors make it easy to load figures, while the rotating wings and retractable landing gear give you display options that mimic the on-screen vehicle.
STAR WARS™ Micro Galaxy Squadron LAAT/LE - STAR WARS™ Micro Galaxy Squadron LAAT/LE: The set also comes packed with 1-inch micro figure accessories of Captain Enoch and two Night Troopers, each compatible with all other Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron vehicles. You get three figures in the box, which adds value and lets you start a Night Trooper squad. Compatibility with other Micro Galaxy Squadron vehicles means these figures can move across your collection.
- STAR WARS™ Micro Galaxy Squadron LAAT/LE: The entire set is encased in premium collectible packaging with a special slipcase. If you are a boxed collector, this packaging is designed to protect the vehicle and figures. The slipcase adds a premium feel for display on a shelf or in a collection room.
Who Should Buy the LAAT/LE?
This vehicle is a strong pick if you are a Star Wars: Ahsoka fan or a Micro Galaxy Squadron collector who wants a distinctive LAAT variant. The included Captain Enoch and Night Troopers are exclusive to this set, so it is the only way to get these specific figures in the line.
It also works well for play. The opening canopy, side doors, and trooper bay are built for loading and posing figures. The rotating wings and retractable landing gear add a hands-on element that younger fans (8+) can enjoy.
If you already own a standard LAAT from earlier series, the main reason to upgrade is the Ahsoka styling and the Night Trooper figures. If you are not attached to that era, a standard LAAT might cover your needs at a lower price.
LAAT/LE vs. Standard LAAT: What to Consider
- Theme and details: The LAAT/LE is based on Star Wars: Ahsoka and features authentic details from that show. A standard LAAT from the Clone Wars era has a different paint scheme and markings. Choose the one that matches your favorite era.
- Included figures: This set includes Captain Enoch and two Night Troopers. Standard LAAT sets may include different figures or none at all. If you want these specific characters, the LAAT/LE is the way to get them.
- Price: The LAAT/LE is priced at USD 43.80 (catalog comparison price USD 60.00). Standard LAAT sets may vary in price, but the exclusive figures and packaging add value here.
What the Supplied Information Does Not Cover
The catalog confirms the vehicle's features and included figures, but it does not specify the exact scale of the figures beyond calling them 1-inch micro figures. It also does not list detailed care or assembly instructions, so if you plan to display the vehicle long-term, handle it with standard care for collectible toys.
There is no confirmed information about articulation points on the figures or whether the vehicle can be converted to a different mode. If those details matter to you, check the packaging or official product images before buying.
