I just bought this at TRU this afternoon. It is truly huge with great play value. While the old style AT-AT was prone to have pieces bust off of it, this one is made to “break-away” at the guns so you can store it or cart it around safely.

There are dozens of electronic sounds and chatter and space enough for all the snowtroopers you can fit. The legs move well – I stood this up on a lumpy bed with the legs posed like a trotting horse (one side together, the other side apart) and it still stood up.

The only things I would have done differently would be a)include weights in the feet (though there is plenty of space to add your own) to anchor it more securely, and b)make it larger!

I paid $159.99 for the new Millenium Falcon and this was only $99.99. I would have paid another $60.00 if they could have made it bigger! Ah, well – it’s probably the best value for it’s class and size of toy in several years.

Your kids will go bonkers – Hell, I’M going bonkers and I wish I was seven again so I could really sink deep and play instead of just setting it up. Mine is crushing the new 2010 snowspeeder as Luke leaves Dack’s lifeless plastic corpse to the crushing tread of the Imperial AT-AT. The 2009 removable helmet AT-AT drivers are commanded by the new 2010 TVC Commander. The new TVC Hoth Han Solo (great figure!) looks on helplessly with his repair tools from the crippled Falcon.

Too cool…

Where’s my nephew so I have a good excuse?

Old age sucks, but one can afford more.

This new AT-AT is truly awesome and it has loads of excellent features that the old Kenner one was seriously lacking. For example the feet on the old one are way two small, and could barely crush a snowspeeder, but could crush a Star Wars figure no problem. With the head on the old version you could only fit just two figures, whether they be two snow troopers, a snow trooper and an AT-AT driver, two snow troopers etc. Unlike the old vintage head, which was more of a cockpit, this new improved version could definitely be classed as a small command centre. Although this new AT-AT isn’t in 100th percent scale with the 3-3/4″ figures, it still is an incredible toy nonetheless. One thing I’ve always wondered was, if you went back in time to 1982 or 1983, and brought along all these new super upsized vehicles, and showed some kids who had the original one’s, I’d say they would be mad jealous and really blown away.

The detail is really great, and I noticed that quite a few of the details are indeed correct according to the DK cutaway guides. In The Dorling Kindersley cutaway book it shows that the AT-AT has two floors/decks in the back, but considering this toy AT-AT does not have two floors/decks, it does however have technically two or three decks, even though they are not directly above one another. I also love the way the head on this one does not droop down like the old one. It only droops down if you have the handle out. Specking of the head, it has lots of space, although I feel six figures in the head starts to look a bit on the cramped side. I think five figures look great. You can have the two AT-AT drivers at the front, General Veers standing directly behind them, and two Snow troopers standing at the back. Overall the proportion is brilliant in comparison to the vintage walker and obviously it’s way bigger too. I really love the garage section at the back. I managed to fit two Imperial speeder bikes in there side by side. It can also double as another troop hold. Here are the pros and cons:

Pros:

It’s huge, and in much better scale to the figures.

The feet are massive and can crush the new snowspeeder without much trouble.

The legs are well articulated.

The detailing underneath is brilliant, and you can see the turbines.

The head is amazing and you fit up to five figures comfortably, although you can fit six, it starts to look a bit cramped.

The body section is very detailed. It has railings, computer consoles, lights and best of all; it has rappelling platforms for snowtroopers and stormtroopers for them to access the vehicle.

Both sides of the body cavity open up.

It has a proper grappling hook for Luke this time!

It has struts for the feet just like the Dorling Kindersley cutaway guide.

You can actually fit two speeder bikes in the back section side by side. If you take out the speeder bikes, there is loads of room for almost ten figures.

The detailing is fantastic.

It’s very very sturdy and will not fall over easily.

The sounds are brilliant.

Looks great next to the new snowspeeder.

Cons:

It’s not quite to scale.

The body section just behind the head is blocked off due to electronics.

I think Hasbro should have included two sets of guns, one that has firing missiles and another set that are very movie accurate.

Another AT-AT driver should’ve been included.

It also should have come with more battle damage stickers.

Overall I really think that Hasbro outdid themselves with this fantastic toy. Lets hope they will re-do the Sandcrawler and possibly the Imperial Shuttle as well at some stage.

I knew I wanted this toy the moment I laid eyes on it. Seems to me Hasbro are making some of the bigger star wars toys to movie scale to the 3/34 star wars figures. This At-At is way bigger than the original ones released,but at the same $99.99 price tag. This version has more room for your figures,you can fit 2 in the head of this version,it come with a speeder bike,launching side projectiles & more room for your snowtroopers in the body of this vehicle. Not to mention, more electronic voices from the movie added to this version. From the other reviews I’ve read, not one of them were negative. This toy is also very sturdy. To all the star wars collectors, you won’t be disappointed if you purchase this toy. If you need more convincing on a decision to buy this toy, head over to youtube to get a more in depth look at this toy & it’s features.
