I actually got one, friends; the first representation of this vehicle EVER, and it even works acceptably for a gaming mini! The AT-PT is produced by our Brit friends at Deagostini, and I scored it at Things From Another World.





These are both poor photos (my camera fogged up outside!), but they prove what I say. If anyone even cares about this sort of thing on these sad boards anymore, I'll post a better shot later.
Cool, eh? I plan to possibly get another and actually mount it on a Large SWM base.

Despite the slowness of the forum I personally would love to see some more pics.

I love the mini, looks great and nicely to scale (well acceptable anyway).  How much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks for sharing.
At last we will have our revenge.

A meagre $16.20.

Believe it or not this is the second time this vehicle has been released as a miniature.  West End Games produced one as well for their 25mm STAR WARS line.  I have one and it's pretty nice.

@Imperator58,
I'd like to see the re-basing photos, and some more photos.
I have to thank you as well, for introducing me to the Revell Snap Tite range (and my new metahobby) Laughing
Although my partner rues the day you took those photos over on the scale model kit thread... haha

Im thinking that a lot of the Revell WW2 kits, which are relatively cheap... could be converted into star warsy vehicles.
Im interested to see if anyones made a corvette or cruiser, etc in 1/48th (which is the standard approx for our figures)

Great find, and thanks for keeping the hobby (and these boards) alive

Did they?! I have almost every figure mini from that line, but they did later make some vehicles and I ignored those, so that one went right past me. 'Course, in those days I had no idea what an AT-PT was, so it wouldn't have mattered to me. Cool!

Okay, here's some taken off the back deck on a lovely day:

Here's "what you get" with one of these things (or any Deagostini offering).



The model comes with a plastic case and a magazine. The mag centers on the model subject, but covers a lot of other stuff too; f'rinstance, this one also had articles on Thrawn, Rogue Squadron and the Katana Fleet (among other things).



The mags all have a gatefold. Here's a sorta vague shot of the one for the AT-PT.

Once I can get a second one (TFAW is sold out at this time and BBTS & Entertainment Earth have them showing in Sept), I'll remount it to a Large minis base. Until then, perhaps someone could create a card!

What? No pictures of the AT-PT attacking the dogs?

A great looking vehicle for a great price with a cool mag, what a deal.  Someone definitely needs to do up a card.
