When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

1 Corinthians 13:11

Yeah. Right.

In space, size does matter, and Hasbro certainly kept that in mind when creating its all-new, highly detailed Star Wars AT-AT. The AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) played a significant role in the Empire’s military assault in The Empire Strikes Back, and it will play an equally important role in every fan’s toy collection this year! Measuring more than 24 inches tall, nearly 28 inches long, and 12 inches wide, this colossal vehicle holds up to 20 Star Wars figures — 6 of which can fit in its head alone! — and includes so many play and electronic features true to its on-screen counterpart that it’s hard to believe! From the zip-line in its body and articulated legs for superb poseability, to its LED lights and authentic movie sounds and phrases, this is the must-have addition for Star Wars fans of all ages. Includes a 3.75 inch AT-AT driver action figure and a pop-out speeder bike.

So … wait, I’ve gotta buy the Snowtroopers separate? WTF.

Sadly, I have reached the point where buying this absolutely awesome new sculpt by Hasbro of the All-Terrain Armored Transport (best known as the AT-AT) from The Empire Strikes Back is quite most certainly out of the question. That said, holy crap, I would’ve loved to have had this as a kid, particularly given the recent snowstorms we’ve had. Domination, DC, domination!

But while I shall, in fact, refrain from buying Hasbro’s AT-AT and stocking it with Snowtroopers, there’s absolutely no way I’m going to scrap the Lego AT-AT currently guarding one of my bookshelves:

That that, Rebel Scum!

(FYI — this is what Hasbro’s old — read, 1980s — sculpt of the AT-AT looked like!)
