(...) Forgive me if I sound like I'm ranting about the size of the AT-AT... It's really not all THAT important-- and I'm SURE if we actually measured the models used in the movies, got the distance to camera of the filming of the little luke (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well I do agree that 50' would just seem too small. The version I made at (URL) Is slightly smaller than minifig scale and according to the stud height, it's over 50'. (And if you look at my picture, don't rag on me about the head, I know it's (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

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)

(...) It's certainly been suggested that there are multiple varieties-- I've heard the following things about what various AT-AT designs carry for transport: - 40 troops & 5 speeder bikes - can be outfitted to carry "more" speeder bikes - can store (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

BUT if you go strictly by the fact that the foot of the AT-AT covers the Snowspeeder and take into account the size of the LEGO Snowspeeder. In order to accomplish the AT-AT foot being the right size it would HAVE to be HUGE. This would also support (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Is anyone else a member of the Star Wars Fan club? I've written a question to Steve Sansweet about the scales used (actual scales of models) and represented (how big they are supposed to be). "If" I get an answer maybe we could get closer to a (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

If you consider that LEGO uses existing pieces where they can, I can imagine each foot would use one of those tiny "saucer" pieces like the AT-ST foot, or the Millenium Falcon landing gear. Which would be fine, because if it were TOO big, yikes! I'd (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The even sadder thing is that the snowspeeder is one of the few SW models Lego's made that's actually LARGER than it 'should' be-- making the required AT-AT foot even bigger :) If I recall correctly, the 7130 is 18 studs long, making it about (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
