Anyone have the new Star Wars AT-AT?
« on: August 10, 2010, 02:59:25 AM »

I saw the thing in Wal-Mart today and it looks pretty freaking awesome.  I know it's HUGE!  I was just wondering if anybody had one yet, and if so if it's worth the hefty, hefty price. 

I got out of Star Wars a long time ago when they started flooding the shelves with every variation of every character that even got a millisecond of screen time.  However, between the AT-AT and the classic style ESB carded Vader, I might actually have to make a few Star Wars purchases.

Don't collect Star Wars.
No desire to collect Star Wars.

But man-o-man, that thing is EPIC.

I'd love to get one, but I haven't the space for it, and as I don't have any other SW stuff right now, I'd be way to tempted to paint it into Cobra or Red Shadow colors.

however it they don't move fast enough for TRU and they are put to clear... maybe.....

I've got mine yesterday and i opened it.  It's BIG.  It's a great playset and a must for the fan or collectors. 
I'm just starting to collect Starwars and i love this remake.  I passed too much time playing with my original one when i was kid so, i bought it whatever the price.
I think i will buy another one when Hasbro will release it again with a vintage style box.

I've seen it twice now and looked over it thoroughly and I'm SO TEMPTED.  Gaaahhhh it's so badass and I always wanted one as a kid but gaaaaaahhhh it's $89.  And I don't have a Star Wars collection, nor do I want one other than that new Vader.

Olyeller....hear me....hear me! Don't give in to the Dark Side of buying. That leads to buying crap, and buying crap leads to collecting a shitload of more crap and making Lucas richer so that he can continue force shoving more crap at us.

Get a Flagg instead!  :wink:

Meeza no Star Wars fan Okeeday?  :lol: I can still walk between the Joeverse and the Starverse as I please. But don't be fooled - I'm 100% devoted to collecting Joes now.

When/where are they planning on releasing the AT-AT in the Vintage style box?

If I could get a Flagg for $100 or even $200 I'd be ALLLL over it. 

And I see what you mean with the slippery slope of buying crap.  After considering the AT-AT I started looking across the 'Net at other Star Wars crap.  Getting into that again is the LAST thing I need.
