Looks really fun and looks like another huge (no pun intended) winner. I'll be anxious to pick it up.

This seems like a lot more fun than the AT TE, which I don't have still (no room).  It will do very well, I imagine, and hopefully we will see more of this kind of thing in the future.

Update:  Nevermind, I just read that Approximate Retail Price: $99.99.

I dunno......I have a bad feeling about that MSRP for some reason "due to the current state of our economy"

I've soured a bit since seeing photos...  It's not as impressive to me as the AT-TE is, so I'm just not sure on this now.  I would consider it for cheaper but at full price I think I'll pass...  My minds changed on a lot of the stuff since TF.

I feel the same way.  Just seems kinda lame to me for some reason, but I'm sure I'll still cave.

There is an actual video of the Tank, funny how the speeder is shoot out, I'm looking the original plan sketck to compare...

That tank is ok, will look cool for display or in a nice diorama.

Here the real stuff.

It looks like a lot of fun and I'm sure the kid will be pleading for it when he sees one up close. Parts of it seem a little goofy like a spring loaded BARC and a removable command center.  But I don't blame them for it.  It's all in the name of play value for the kids.

Easy pass.  Kids already have an AT-TE - no room or desire for another $100 toy.

And I was thinking that those were some of the coolest features.  I also think the Corw's Nest is kinda cool.  Definitely a lot of play value with this one.

I'm disappointed with the size of it, but it will still be fun to own. (waits for the inevitable misquote...)

Still, it's packed with a lot of features. While I don't "play" with my toys, it will be neat to "test" the features from time to time...

I'm only getting one though. No need for more than that.
I'm just a humble collector trying to make his way through the universe...of toy aisles.

I am fine with it.  Besides I am sure we will all be able to find it for $75 about 4-6 weeks after it is released.  You know how that goes.  It looks like a fun vehicle to me.  I was never expecting it to be close to "scale" or all that big really.  I like most of the features on it.

It will all depend on budget at the time for me, but it does look pretty cool.  Like I mentioned before, I still haven't picked up an AT-TE - and would like to - so it might be one or the other for me.  Then, if some unannounced OT vehicle comes up, that will change things too.  It might just be because we've seen a couple of large vehicles now - but it doesn't seem like the forums are "buzzing" about this one quite as much as the AT-TE (or even the Falcon) last year.

I think that could be because we've been clamoring for an AT-TE since 2002 and a Millenium Falcon that we could put figures in the cockpit since 1995.

The Turbo Tank by comparison has had far less demand.
This is the way.
