Found a video on YouTube by RetroBlasting restoring it and now finally know what it was and what it was from. Remember having this as a kid. Really wanted the AT-AT Walker but the Hasbro one was hard to find in the UK at that time (1998). The only shop near by that sold it was a shop called Kool Collectable in York for £150. No way could afford that at 11 and my parents weren't willing to pay that sort of money for a toy. Use to know a guy who had this playset and asked him if he wanted to swap it for a game I didn't like and he said yes. The lights worked but not the sound but not surprised as the guy who owned it before me left it outside all the time rain or shine. Knew it wasn't an official AT-AT but though better then nothing. When I managed to get an Kenner one by part exchanging a vintage 12 inch Boba Fett (which cost a £1 at a table top sale). I gave this to my cousin, as he wanted to use it as an ATAT. When the guy I traded with found out he was well annoyed. He asked why, told him it wasn't from SW or a ATAT he been the person he was, convinced he was always right and 99.9% was always wrong and very nasty and aggressive with it kept telling me it was. He was a complete idiot and he wondered why no one liked him in the end and I can't believe we were mates once I must have been mad. Did anyone else use this as an ATAT until they could get a proper ATAT?
