The Vintage Collection AT-AT
« on: July 13, 2010, 02:57:00 PM »
Well low and behold on my doorstep I found the new BAT-AT! I would like to publicly thank Hasbro and Danny for graciously sending Imperial Shipyards this great new vehicle to review. I only had time to take some box pics for now as I have some family in visiting, but rest assured tomorrow will see the ole Tamer popping open a box (yes I am not joking) and videoing the entire construction process. Here are the box pics.

I am telling you, my day couldn't be ruined for anything now. I can't wait to get some time to pop it open and construct it tomorrow. I wish you guys could be with me when I build this thing.

Trust me if I could get you down here that would be a roger and a wilco.

And Clonesniper78 I thought the same thing about the Rex on the front of the box. That is my only critique with the entire box art. I will no doubt have to have the Toysrus vintage deco box too.

Tune in tomorrow Yarders. I plan on doing this build slowly so you can see all the nooks and crannies.

Shawn, do you know all the nooks and crannies before it's even been removed from the box?   [at1]  Now that is impressive!

now that is one awesome gift!! i think what must be a bit of a let down is the condition the box arrived in... was that the doing of the postie because by the looks of the outer box looks pretty minty, it also looks like there was no packing in it to stop it from sliding around...

but still a great score Shawn!!!

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Ours has two zoom modes, "Up close and personal" and "Hello, you're dead

Yes, I think I have a pretty good feel for the ole gal already, but there is nothing like getting behind the wheel of your ride even if you know the manual inside and out!

The box was not in the greatest of shape Trev, it had no inside pakaging and the corners are pretty dinged up. Ofcourse my posties aren't know to treat packages great. I think it is probably a combination of both probably. Still, this one is coming out of the box believe you me so I am kinda glad the box isn't too minty. It is all I can do to open up momc items.

Like Shawn said, a HUGE thank you to Hasbro and Danny at Hunter PR for this opportunity.  I'm so eager to see the build of this bad boy, not to mention getting my own!
