The LEGO STAR WARS gingerbread AT-AT Walker marches into the holidays to conquer Christmas

The Empire will grace the halls this year and the Dark Side has never looked so delicious. LEGO just unveiled the Star Wars Gingerbread AT-AT Walker (40806), a festive twist on one of the galaxy’s most iconic war machines, and it’s made entirely from sugary-looking bricks.

Constructed from 697 pieces, this brick-built beast trades its cool imperial gray for warm gingerbread tones, frosted finishes and candy cane accents. The result is a fascinating reinterpretation of destruction in a festive and ferocious way.

Inside this sweet assault vehicle, builders will find a surprisingly cozy interior, complete with socks, gifts, a fireplace, and even a seat where Darth Vader can relax with a cup of cocoa after conquering the galaxy.

Obviously it’s not just any Vader. Meet Gingerbread Vader, who wears a frosted cape and candy cane accessory. It has all the menace of the real thing, but with an added touch of sugar and spice.

The walker features poseable legs, an opening cockpit and folding sides that reveal all the festive details inside. It’s the perfect way to replace your gingerbread house with something with a little more firepower.

LEGO is also giving builders an added edge with the LEGO Builder app, allowing fans to zoom, rotate and explore a 3D version of the gingerbread AT-AT as they assemble it piece by piece.

This Christmas, the Empire isn’t just fighting back, it’s also serving up cookies. Whether you’re a lifelong Star Wars fan or just love a creative holiday build, the AT-AT Walker gingerbread is a must-have addition to your winter lineup. Forget the gingerbread house: build a gingerbread war machine instead.

Priced at $59.99, the Gingerbread AT-AT is designed for ages 10 and up and makes a great holiday gift for kids and collectors alike.
