That looks great Paul. The AT-AT is one of my fav's. I also loved the Technical kits back in the 80's. They also make some fantastic new Technical kits these days as well.

LEGO made a pretty cool commercial for this AT AT too:

Wow that At-At looks awesome, I bet Artour junior (as well as dad) had a lot of fun building it. Is it the walking version, as seen in this amazing Lego remake of the battle of Hoth.

Chris, that Battle of Hoth video is just amazing no, it's not the motorized walking version he has, as seen in the vid (I believe that was released 2007). Junior's AT-AT seems much smaller in comparison but is still very cool. Junior also got the Snowspeeder vehicle, but we haven't had chance to get some good pics yet.

Adding some more of Jnr's latest Lego stuff. This was a creation for a competition he's entered to build a SW vehicle, so he came up with the idea of a Luke Jedi Prison Transporter. I helped him build it but all his ideas (apart from the Dewback which was my idea ) Then we made a little dio with sand and retro-fitted the photos to give it a vintage feel.

Damn that's cool!
How are the prices on legos now? I passed a store in the mall the other day and noticed the big sets were in the $400 range. I definitely remember them never being THAT high!

Regular Lego sets like City are reasonable but anything licensed like SW, Marvel, Harry Potter etc and the price soon rockets - especially the big sets
