Actually, going by the movies, an AT-AT's about 75 feet tall, which
translates to about 525 mm in minifig scale which is about 65 studs tall...
But 40 studs would about work for the often reported 50-feet height of the
AT-AT, though...

Now Lego's version wouldn't necessarily
have to be this big but it could be made pretty close and still look good.

I'd definitely agree-- they could do a VERY scaled down version and still
have it look good. As I recall the AT-AT that Kenner put out was roughly 30
feet tall in their figure size, and it wasn't all that bad, really. At 30
feet, that'd make it about 26 studs tall... so maybe 30 studs... Hmm... now
I'm kinda curious to design one just to see if it'd be reasonably feasible
for TLC to produce... hmm...

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)
