sdcc is around the end of july. and tamer i read on other sites that the hasbro reps said the only high value vehicle will be the turbo tank. take that for what it is worth as they said no bmf after pics were leaked.
It's a little early for April fools, Tamer. Are you serious??????
I can't find the article. How bout a link, shawn?It's a little early for April fools, Tamer. Are you serious??????
Scum seems to be pretty serious. I can only hope this is true. A guy has to believe!
Well, chances are, if it was up earlier and pulled already, Hasbro stepped in and ordered a cease and desist on it. I've seen it happen before...That would make the truth of this rumor seem that much more likely.
It is in thier Legacy Section under Rumor Central which is a pretty large list, you have to scroll down the the vehicle rumor list to see it. It has been up for a bit, I would assume at least a month or more. I will go see if scum pulled it.Nope, still can't find it.
Here is the thread link for Scum, I must say it is very thorough, daggone they have good intel. You have to scroll down the page a bit to find it.thanks for that, buddy.

oh wats a bmf walker is that like the bmf with at-at legs glued on it lol?
Devin, If they do make one. It still won't be the right size. Do you ever think they would make a vehicle to the correct dimensions? Over four feet? Never!Quite right, Tamer. Kind of like how the BMF still isn't the correct scale, were Hasbro to make a large scale walker, I would expect it to be bigger but not to true scale. They would make the cockpit big enough for two drivers and a Veers to stand behind them with a periscope and that would be the important part to them. One can only hope that the body is large enough not to make the head seem underscaled.
I am excited about this bit of news although it seems far fetched to me. A full scale 3 3/4 inch figure walker, for $100? How long until toy fair?
I think we will probably see this for around 150 dollars or the 200 dollar tag as Phatty has suggested depending on how many bells and whistles it has. Irregardless, if they make this, I will buy two. I can imagine me going crazy if it hits clearance, cmon Blizzard Force!You wanting to make another two sided review on this bad boy, Shawn?

Woo Hoo, basement-sized dip, here we come!
I meant dio " damn phone"
french onion dip is the best
but a basement sized supply is too much
LOL
I still think the cost is going to be closer to the ATTE and roller tank thing, rather than the BMF, overall weight will be nothing on a walker.
oooooooohhhh! i just wet meself!
oooooooohhhh! i just wet meself!
I think they make medicine that us old guys can get to help out with that Jay! (LOL)
Tamer, check out the latest new from Yakface:
Wondering what to expect for that rumored new AT-AT? Look no further as we've received a spy report with more features of this bad boy:
Here is the translated text:
- Complete with new molding, the AT-AT bigger than ever!
- random dialogue from the movie (English), built-in sound and action
- Holds Speeder bike in the rear hatch.
- Cable arm and pull open the cover for passengers side of the body
- The blaster has a gimmick in luminous nose (light up chin cannons I assume)
- Opening the hatch at the bottom of the body to recreate Luke's sneak attack
- AT-AT Driver figure included.
- Cockpit/head can hold 6 figures
I am not sure about the real source of that pic, buddy, as the addy on the pic doesnt work. I do know that the scale representation shown was just a guess at the smallest possible size that this could be. It could be bigger than that but who knows? To me, the head looks different.
As you can see, the back legs look shorter than the front. Man Toy Fair is seems sooo far away. Judging by this pic, its hard to say if it's the real deal or not. I mean the Falcon and the AT-ST looked real good. I can't see why Hasbro can't do a real good job with the AT-AT.
Here is a link to that page.

And here is the pic in question.
Thanks to Rebelscum for this. Tamer, this isn't varified but what do you think?

I am still trying not to get too excited. Six figures in the head is gonna just rock anything that has been produced before. You really have to work a bit to get two figures in the existing one. To get six means wider and a lot longer to me. I don't see how it (head) can have the same boxy design we have now. For it to be that large with two differing levels and room for a speeder bike in the back is just mind numbing to me. So close to a reveal so close. Cmon Toyfair.Do you have enough snowtroopers to man up that bad boy, Shawn?
I just read that there is to be a release of a Galactic Heroes ATAT this year, also. This could possibly be a shot of that one, but I doubt it.
Tamer, did you see the shot of the new Veers fig?
yep i found the question and answer and here it is from the website "Toy News International"
TNI: Hasbro Catalog scans of a new AT-AT toy leaked out online a few weeks ago and since then we have heard rumors this toy will be much larger than the old AT-AT toy. Rumors are saying this toy will be almost 3 ft in size, a larger cockpit, come with A AT-AT driver and come with a speeder bike. Can you confirm these specifications, are there any other specification you can provide such as a price point and are there any images you can provide or will this be revealed at Toy Fair next month?
Hasbro: Well, we can confirm that there is indeed a great new AT-AT coming this fall. Set to hit shelves on 8-1, it will be offered at a $99.99 SRP (same as the AT-TE and Turbo Tank) and will be an all-new version, rethought from top to bottom with great new play features, a lot of room for figures, and a huge number of electronic phrases and sounds. It has been designed with both collectors and kids in mind, and we think that it will wow both audiences. As for size, we don't know the exact height off-hand, but it is much bigger than the vintage Kenner version when all three dimensions are considered in person. Look for more details, and photos, at Toy Fair. Bring your tape measure!
How in the hell are they going to sell that for $99.99?
If that's worth $100, the AT-Te and Turbo-Tank were WAAAAY overpriced.

Dude, there's an actual photo up at JTA now...prepare to cream your jeans!
This thing looks unbelievable...
Nice, now there's a pic that wasn't supposed to be taken at UK toyfair. This thing is supposed to be a foot wide?? I want more pics, top down, sideways, an underbelly shot, I want it all. You got some room at your house for a few of these, Shawn?
I'm still trying to figure out that crazy interior. Looks like those side panels are in two pieces, part of which swings up and part of which swings down. Is there a figure on that upper level on the inside?
At the risk of getting too big here, I cropped that shot and blew it up, some. On the inside of the legs at the feet, it's nice to see those stabalizer pistons that are on my Revell ATAT model kit. Up twards the front of the main body at the top, are those fold out cannons? You can see the shape of the swing down rear hatch here. Also, on the upper deck of the interior, I see a handrail and possibly the backside of a mounted gun? Looks like handles on something. I would rather have a mounted MG42 type gun ala/IMPS than a turbo tank squad type launcher.

Oh yeah Clint. I didn't notice those stabilizer bars how could I miss that? I did notice those cannons and like you I would rather have door gunners like on IMPS. I am not sure about that black neck either. Wish they would have made that grey.I'm sure that a resourceful walker lover like yourself must have some walker grey paint around there, somewhere.
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/newatathead.jpg)I just have one question? why are clone wars troopers or even clone troopers doing near the AT-AT. Couldn't they at least put snow troopers and Luke out there.
from www.starwars-descriptions.com.
It isn't looking horrible to me.
Just wondering is the ATAT drivers uniform different when they are not on Hoth. Like do they have a different uniform for different worlds, or is it there standard gear? :)
AT-AT's were used at the battle of Jabiim during the CWYes I know that it just seems that it sortof looks like they are attacking it and that seeing as it's the anniversery of ESB I thought they should be snowtroopers or AT-AT drivers. But yeah I see your point.
Does anybody know of any new AT-AT drivers or Snowtropers coming out this year? Or will I have to hunt down the ones from the 2009 ESB wave? I'll definitley be looking for that new General Veers later this year.
I heard a rumor from that german site that claimed a veers was supposed to be packaged with the ATAT rather than a driver fig.
what is in six days?Toy Fair, I think. I don't when Toy Fair is, but I'm assuming that is what he was talking about.
I guess its time to lock this down and start up the regular BAT-AT thread. Wow, there are over 10 pages in this.
