[Slowly raises hand] It was a long time ago, okay? Over a year and a half.
I didn't have any track or 9V wheels either:

And Larry knows this because he was there. Look on the link to Huw's
photos. All the effort went into the walking AT-AT at the time (see my
Space section).
But yes, I'd love to see Lego Direct do a nice big version of this. They
could leave the fairings off if they wanted to - many of these ran from
day-to-day without them. But, big train wheels, lots of curves. It would
be great.
