I’m running pretty cold on Star Wars toys, but thanks to the OAFE.net forums I was recently made aware of a must have Star Wars vehicle. Behold, the new, Wal-Mart Exclusive AT-ST (on the right):

I need one so bad it hurts. For those not really into Star Wars, this is a big deal because this is the first AT-ST that’s closer in scale with the figures. The original could only fit one figure in the cockpit (head) and this one can fit two. It also boasts some other nifty features like opening view ports and much closer to movie accurate guns. It even comes with an AT-ST driver in case you don’t have enough in your collection to drive this puppy. Finally, in order to stage the best Endor battle possible, you can pose this sucker to have super wobbly legs!

What I find funny is that I’m much more open to Clone Wars stuff than most people I know who like Star Wars, but there’s just nothing like the excitement I get when there’s a new toy based on the original trilogy coming out that I want. It really touches that super nerd in me. I think that if Hasbro were to announce a much larger AT-AT I may go through puberty again. Anyway, be sure to check out the rest of the pics on Rebelscum.com.
