Star Wars AT-AT Reissued – Even More Awesomer

by Jay Garrett on February 15, 2010

If, like me, you never had an AT-AT of your own.

Well, now’s your chance – and this one is sooooooo much better!

To help mark the glorious 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, Hasbro have reissued the saga’s most awesome vehicles.

Costing $100 this AT-AT measures over 2 foot tall and is almost 28 inches long, and 12 inches wide.

The new AT-AT can actually hold up to 20 Star Wars figures – half-a-dozen of those in the head alone!

It also comes with the zip-line in its body as well as LED lights and authentic movie sounds and phrases.

Just to clinch that deal it includes a 3 ¾ inch AT-AT driver action figure and a pop-out speeder bike.

Now, where’s my Snow Speeder and credit card!!???!!

Find yours then head here.

R2D2 – Voice Commanded and Motion Sensing

November 11, 2008 Click to read more →

Who wouldn’t want their own R2D2?
How about one that stands 15 inches tall and is voice activated?
This most famous and loved of the R2 droids (sorry D4!) will respond to around 40 voice commands!
He can even be set to a motion sensor so that he sounds an alarm when he detects movement – that should work to confuse any would-be ne’er-do-wells or at [...]

Ok, stop your sniggering class!
