I'm not sure it's the one you're talking about, but I've seen your mini-Vader walker (I'd love to see instructions for that, BTW), and I've also built one MOC that uses it (DTotS was just a one-time modification of a pre-existing MOC): (URL) I (...)

Speaking from experience bulk buying of LEGO can be quite economical in that shipping becomes next to nothing, lots of suppliers will discount huge orders, so having 100s or even 1000s of units of LEGO sets is not unrealistic or that strange.

(...) I think that's why most of us loved the sets from the 80-90s period. There were only a handful of themes (Castle, Town, Technic, Space, Train, Basic) and there was so much room for creativity. Not saying that we can't be creative now, but (...) (21 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
