... thanks - I needed this laugh to start the day.

Very clever.

As far as this new AT-AT version is concerned I'll pass on it, happy with the last version I got but I'm happy to see Hasbro constantly improving.

The price of this thing is not going to matter. If you want to buy it just wait six months after its release and then, just like the Millenium Falcon before it, it'll be on clearance for maybe $25.

And at that point, for some, it is like winning the lottery to find one.

This system may work for some...but not for everyone.

I still have 8 mib POTF AT-AT's I got on clearance at KB Toys for $25 each.

Had three myself but ended up flipping them... TRU blew them out for 19.99 at one point ten years ago.

Maybe, but I now that I bought the MF too early as my local US Wal-Mart later on had six sitting there for $25 a piece...

They never got that low in my neck of the woods If I had waited, i'd be SOL

Same thing happened in Aus, the AT-TE, BMF and Turbo Tank all ended up going on sale for a lot less, 1/4 or 1/3rd of what the original price was. I got the Turbo Tank for $50. they started off at over $200 Aus original price.

I picked a AT-TE up for $19.97 at Walmart but, it seems the Falcon never did make it under $100 at my local stores, though they sold out when i returned so, maybe they did drop.I am not worried though as i know BMF will be rehashed for years to come.

May have to get this thing to compliment the Falcon... Had the original one as a kid and of course it broke and got thrown away somewhere far far away. eh.

Wow!

STAR WARS AT-AT (Approximate Retail Value: $99.99; Ages: 5 & up; Available: August 1, 2010)
In space, size does matter, and Hasbro certainly kept that in mind when creating its all-new, highly detailed STAR WARS AT-AT. The AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) played a significant role in the Empire's military assault in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and it will play an equally important role in every fan's toy collection this year! Measuring more than 24 inches tall, nearly 28 inches long, and 12 inches wide, this colossal vehicle holds up to 20 STAR WARS figures - 6 of which can fit in its head alone! - and includes so many play and electronic features true to its on-screen counterpart that it's hard to believe! From the zip-line in its body and articulated legs for superb poseability, to its LED lights and authentic movie sounds and phrases, this is the must-have addition for STAR WARS fans of all ages. Includes a 3 ¾ inch AT-AT driver action figure and a pop-out speeder bike.

The very sick thing about it is that guy's getting paid to play with Star Wars toys!

 

[Darth Waller]

That looks amazing.

Sorry, I haven't bought a Hasbro figure since the McQuarrie line a few years ago. Besides, I thought pics of the AT-AT would be posted in this thread.

In all fairness I may have missed it in the huge slew of Toy Fair stuff but that's were I've been dumping most of the 3 3/4 inch love

Did you see the Hasbro presentation videos? If I did still collect Hasbro I'd be pretty happy.
