Phat-AT

Stomp That Rebel Scum

A long time ago (the 80's), in a neighborhood not so far away, (yours) there was only one kid who had an AT-AT. If you wanted to play with the coolest piece of molded plastic in recorded history, you had to pay heavy tribute. These days, that kid has 1 wife, 2.5 kids, and a mortgage the size of the Death Star. You've got your freedom, a comfy room in your Mom's basement, and a little disposable income. Revenge is at hand.

August 1st, Hasbro's re-releasing the AT-AT into the fanboy wild. Packed with premium features and measuring more than 2x2ft, the vehicle can accommodate twenty action figures. A motorized zipline that allows Luke to saber-slice open the belly of this beautiful gray beast is a nice addition. LED-lit cannons and a new rear-entry docking bay with speeder bike (a little euphemistic for our taste, but still cool) are also included.

Until AT-ATs can run around like this, Hasbro has set the standard in crafting a high-end toy cooler than the ice fields of Hoth. If only we had known our youthful playthings could one day finance our overpriced college educations. But then, that was only true if they remained sealed. This new AT-AT is meant to roam free. That means opening the box and sharing it with the world. But not the neighborhood kids. They should have to beg for one fruitlessly like we did.
