Here's a thought, maybe there are several different sizes of AT-AT based on purpose. A larger 80ft one that contains vehicles and a smaller 50ft version that is a people transport. Just a thought. I know the books say otherwise, but maybe the books (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) A more refined guess: 80' - 96' (...) I checked snowspeeder length a bit more closely. They're about 16 feet long, +/- a foot. So revamp that guess to 60' - 68' (a little over in each case). (...) I still agree with this 60' - 93' measurement, (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

Yesterday I saw boxes of 8008, the Technic Stormtrooper, at the nearby TRU. I bought one, and when I opened the box, surpringly I found not a Stormtrooper, but a 8007 C-3P0 inside. No matter. I like C-3P0, too. After I built it, sadly I must say the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

1st rule: NEVER go by what you see in the movie!! In one scene, the AT-AT's could easily be 100 M tall, wheras in the scene when the foot steps on luke's snowspeeder, it is significantly smaller (to scale w/ the foot, maybe 10 M tall at the (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
