Kurt, I saw the AT-AT walking on a CNN story about the toy fair this weekend.
It moved along at a pretty steady pace, at least a step a second. This is much
faster than the menacing pace from the films, but I think it's great to have a
walking version! Also, as you would imagine this is not the most stable/steady
set ever designed. Those skimpy little legs can only provide so much support
and the whole body sort of rocked with each step. Maybe we should call this
the Jello Walker ;) I still think this will be a good set though. I was
*very* disappointed with it initally, but I realized a realistic design would
be far too heavy to support, and those little motors would be useless.

| (...) Overall I'm pretty happy with the new sets =). The ATT tank looks pretty playable, on model and has a fair selection of different pieces.Are the tan bits used for the main turret similar to the model team chrome smoke stacks? seems like it. (...)
