To amuse myself, I'm posting some AT-TE photos to sort of compare the toy with...

This one really roughly shows where an average-height-human would stand compared to the legs/feet of a TE...


schematic, not real helpful for fans of scale...


This is the one that really gives an idea of size though.  You see how tall a trooper is to the walker's foot, and it's a good pic for eyeballing scale.


I'm trying to convince myself one way or another...  Wrong thing to do at 2:00 a.m. though.  I gotta watch out or I'll be buying all of it by 4.

SWEET. I am so all over this. So all over this.

One thing I'm now wondering... when Hasbro says it can hold 20 Clones, do they mean it can hold 20 Animated Style Clones, 20 Movie Style Clones, or both? Looking at the pics, the Animated Clones are smaller and skinnier and overall look like they would take up less room than the SA Clones we've already gotten.

As cool as this behemoth looks, I'm going to have to pass. The one Clone Trooper figure included would probably push me over the edge and cause me to start buying the animated action figures. I'll wait for the eventual Felucia, Utapau, or Geonosis AT-TE repaints.

I'm wondering the same thing. I would image though that Hasbro wouldn't
put the effort into something that cool that wouldn't accommodate either/or.

Personally I don't think it'd make much difference as they're about the same size, no?  I believe it can fit 20 though after Sal's diagram, as we mentioned in the rumor report, so that's nice...  I think if the interior were more true to the Cross Section book I wouldn't be debating the purchase so much...  I know, I know, it's great...  I'm just trying to be cautious with purchases I'm not satisfied 100% with anymore. 

Jeff's right though, I'll probably cave on it.  Not 3 though like I thought at first, but maybe 2, probably 1.

Well damn....I didn't want t think of repaints...thanks, lol.

Seriously though, IIRC, there isn't a difference between ANY of the AT-TEs. They looked the same on all planets, just as the Gunships (from teh movies only) did. The only one I'd be interested in getting as a repaint would be a Geonosis one as that would be movie accurate (you'd hope). But I'll make due with this one now. I can always airbrush this myself to reflect the movie accurate deco.

Amazing!     Hasbro finally delivers....I'm still down for at least two, maybe more if I can find some on clearance.  I just can't believe there's still people out there bitching about scale.

Hmmm...I think you kinda make a good point...

I take back everything I said about the AT-TE.  This thing ROCKS and I will be getting one sealed and one to open.  The added fig is a nice bonus, though still not sure if I will collect the animated line.  Its a good opportunity to jump ship for those of us with space and/or $$$ constraints.

Get it. I'll buy the figure off of you.

I'm happy for the people that wanted this so badly, and I think it's a pretty cool toy, but I'll pass. Way too expensive, and I don't have the space.

[ruiner]

Man, the kids will love this.  I may not be buying any figs this year but this a must have for X-Mas.

I appreciate the offer, but I have a weird issue where all of the stuff in my collection must be... complete, so I'll have to pass. I might actually cave and start buying animated figures when they come out, so I may actually end up with an AT-TE in my collection.

Speaking of the AT-TE, is anyone else liking the box art? I'd probably pay $50 just for the box itself. Easily the best artwork for any item in the line in quite some time.
