[QUOTE="Bespin_Doyle, post: 18418, member: 84"] I do have a theory that the vintage loose AT-AT has always kept its high value (e.g ebay). Because Hasbro have never done a movie accurate version. Chunky side turrets being the main offender. But even the Hasbro's Endor AT-AT from last Christmas wipped up a bit of hysteria. Scalpers were fleecing what little there was from TRU shelves, and flogging them on ebay for as high as £150/175 last December!! You could get a decent vintage ESB/Jedi Palitoy one for that price out of season! :roll: You guys seen this.. Never new it even existed until about 3 years ago. Not sure it even hit our shores in the mid 90s. [ATTACH=full]108184[/ATTACH] The figures and weapons are cast from new molds of the original figures, not the original moulds themselves. This set was created for 'fans' back in 1995 because the normal POTF2 figures were too large for the cockpits of the vehicles! I think collectors were more concerned with how steroid pumped & pig ugly the POTF2 were, than fitting them in vehicles. Never actually seen this set in the flesh. But supposidly there slightly out of scale to the vintage. A defect in the scale miniaturization from the larger 500% sculpture scale, and a tale tell sign the original moulds were not used. First time I saw one, from the paint jobs. Thought it was just bootleg rubbish. [/QUOTE]
