I did not see the ad, but I did ask Hasbro for a replacement set of middle legs and got them in about a month at no cost.   ;)

I asked too (obviously)  Still waiting on my legs.   ::)

I asked as well and am being told I'll get something "worth equal value"...  ::)

Wow, that may actually be cooler.  Maybe they'll ship you a few exclusive gunships.   ;D

Actually I'm thinking they mean something worth the value of the legs, which I imagine Hasbro would give me a couple Mutt Williams figures.

That's lame. 

I can see substituting a broken figure with a figure of similar value but to not 'make it right' with regards to a $100 toy is reprehensible.

Hey, if the world's largest retailer can't get one where the legs stay on, what makes you so special? :P

Well, at least they didn't try to get you to ship the entire thing back to them and then pull the "item of equal value" trick, like they attempted with me (see the last page for details).  I didn't fall for it, but it's sad that they won't even take full responsibility for a flawed toy.  How long before they say the problem isn't with the AT-TE or with the legs, but it's that kids are the core audience and kids like toys that have the legs fall off as much as kids love Mutt Williams figures?   :P

Thanks, Hasbro!   ::)

I have the same problem win my AT-TE....

But here is a way to fix the legs, what would cost you is just $4 dollars.

I just picked up some of that clear tubing for $1.69.

Looks like it will work but we shouldn't have to fix it to begin with.

I've heard it works like a charm and only takes a few minutes, but I want me some new sexy legs from Hasbro.

All I can add is that my buddy called me the one day from Costco to tell me they had a ton of them, but when I went a couple of weeks later, they were nowhere to be seen.

Sams Club has AT-TEs for $89.99. This is the same box you would by at TRU or Target just $10 cheaper.  Any pictures of this Costco one with included figures?

Thanks to Crunchy Nug for sending us some photos on this.  If you head on our to the front page you can see a nice comparison shot of the AT-TE Replacement Leg set that is just now showing up.  I've got a set ordered and should probably get a 2nd for my 2nd AT-TE I got on sale.



Head on out and check them out...  Good stuff from Hasbro!
