Wait...so the one at WM in the blue box with the snow speeder is the EXACT same one that is in the vintage style box at TRU?
Thought the TRU one was more like the original AT-AT and the WM one was the updated version similer to the Falcon from a few years back.

You mean the white speeder bike, right? The AT-AT doesn't come with a snowspeeder.
Anyways, the blue boxed AT-AT and the vintage boxed AT-AT are the same... sort of. In Canada, the blue boxed one has a changed sound chip removing all the phrases (english) and adding a few more sound effects. The vintage boxed one is exactly the same as the one in the US, with english phrases intact. But otherwise they are the exact same big honkin AT-AT.

Well that's good to know. If I was going to buy one, I know which one it would be now. Vintage style box = win.

Lol..yeah sorry your right...(would be an even better extra tho  ;D )

And now I know which one to buy as well, thanks. I try not to buy a lot of SW stuff cuz it's just way WAY to expansive, but no way I can pass up this (or the recent Falcon)

Let me know if they remake that Hoth battle scene with the blow apart bridge and I'll buy that. Cobra North needs some stomping grounds.  ;D

I had this in the cart today...but I'd spent 150 earlier getting all the Target exclusive ESB stuff at Zellers. The guilt of buying this too would have kept me from enjoying it. I told my wife I need it, but it isn't something I can buy for myself in good conscience. Hopefully the ESB box version will come down in price sometime before xmas. I'd love to get that as a present. The last AT-AT I bought was like seven dollars at a garage sale, and I loved it more than pretty much anything I've ever found at one of those sales. I remember playing with it in the front yard and getting lots of compliments on it (this was in 1989 so no one had seen one in a while I guess!).

Finally an AT-AT I really want for the packaging as well.  However the price is restrictive.  I will pick one up when there is finally a sale and it drops below $100 before tax.  $130 before tax is too rich for my blood.

I like the Star Wars boxes they're using lately, the stuff goes right back in for storage and the boxes look great, especially the Vintage themed. It took me a while to decide but I think I'll insist on the vintage collection box when I get one.

Ugh, I gave in. Bought it. Quite possibly the best toy I've got since the 1988 Lego Monorail came out. This thing is just amazing. I am sort of in awe of it. If I get a chance to get it on clearance or sale in the Empire box I will definitely buy another. This thing is a legend. Is this an all new version? I haven't collected SW vehicles since just before Ep I came out so I missed hundreds of things I imagine. I really wish I'd snagged a MF at Winners though, I was just fighting every urge in my body to collect SW stuff again. Too late now.

Saw this at Costco on Friday for $95.00

Was really tempted but I passed.
