Star Wars - Vintage AT-AT

[@roddi733]

I remember getting this and the millennium falcon for Christmas in 1982, for a nine year old it was like winning the lottery

[@wayneleone]

In 1982 it would have required the lottery! 🤣

[@roddi733]

Wayne Leone it was a good year for my dad, next year I got a second hand train set

[@wayneleone]

The most I had was the AT-ST and the x-wing plus a few figures. I remember collecting Kellogg's tokens and sent off for the Emperor figure. It wasn't available in shops at the time. Ah good times...

[@steveh4290]

"Impressive, most impressive" As I was born in 79, I only caught the end of Star Wars toys. Best comparison I can say is with MASK, I got Boulder Hill, Rhino & a few others all for one Xmas! I was shocked to see Boulder Hill under the tree, as my Dad had said it was way too big to be in our house. It's now in my garage, awaiting the day I clear the crap away to get to it.

[@happyhammer1]

My mom bought this for me at a garage sale in the early 90's. I loved that toy so much.

[@marcusvonmaximus8071]

wonderful memories....before the dark times, before disney came along!

[@markgraham7669]

Very good!

[@envisibleward2422]

Indeed.

[@eviled2925]

I don't know, the new trilogy was pretty stunning and the mandalorian is classic TV, but yeah, the toys haven't been great since around 1983

[@rihaskell4812]

Disney franchise is Instantly forgettable. Cant even remember what happened in the Rise of Skywalker (or whatever its called) The mandalorian and rouge one were good though. At least my youngest boy now wants to watch the original trilogy. Oh yeah

[@_valstrax_8748]

@@eviled2925 mandalorian is amazing because it's being written by dave filoni, (the guy who wrote clone wars) the new trilogy... Not so much

[@HGates-hl4eq]

You know I loved how they always had a scene set up on the box. Man! I miss the old Star wars line

[@captainrex4403]

I got mine for Christmas as a surprise gift. My parents told me they couldn't find it but I had enough in Christmas money to buy one later on and my folks and I were enjoying our gifts and my dad asked if I'd like a Coca-Cola since he was gonna grab one for himself and of course I said sure and as he came waking back into the room he had the AT-AT in his arms with my Coca-cola, I remember being so excited. Unfortunately the box got damaged over the years. It was Definitely the best surprise Christmas gift I ever recieved and made a lot of fun memories including my attempt at a stop motion animation film with the AT-AT lol. Thanks for sharing this 😊

[@Mr.TrollingTime]

[@buttgoomagoo6408]

I'm 51 years old, and let me tell you kids...we had TOYS when we were growing up..cool toys that we played with..no computers, no internet, just way cool toys and our imaginations .......it was the best time of my life

[@sjdrifter72]

Aaron DeBene. Back then toy companies actually cared to give us kids quality Star Wars toys, with electronic sounds and flashing lights on almost all of the vehicles and ships, not the overpriced cheap plastic pieces of crap Hasbro/Disney make nowadays.

[@moescatobotcollects]

buttgoo magoo I’m 31 and I just got my first AT AT and love it! I too loved playing with toys so much man still do!

[@TheVintagesteal]

And,we played outside! ( I'm 50)

[@diegobrando1928]

Ok boomer

[@kps.77]

I still remember the Xmas when I got one of these. I was getting ready for school and my uniform always used to be on the back of the sofa. I remember I couldn't find couldn't find my socks of all things, so looked behind the sofa to see if they had fell down... Low and behold there it was, one AT-AT box sitting there waiting (looking back, not sure why my parents didn't put it behind there after wrapping but hey). I still have it by the way, missing the pulsating guns and control room top, but still have the side guns and door. Still have my Millennium Falcon & Slave 1 too, but the Ewock Village, AT-ST, Speeder Bike, Rebel Transporter, X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Tie Interceptor, Jabba, ST-AT, B-Wing and Snow Speeder all seem to be missing or berried in my parents store room.

[@TheThor2745]

Come back and do some more videos Luke, these are spectacular and we can see how much you love doing these as well...Thank You

[@natazer]

This video is better than the prequels + sequels.

[@CollyDoo]

I remember my childhood friend had one and I was sooooo jealous! I think every young lad wanted the AT-AT! Thanks for the post and stroll down memory lane...

[@scifigeezer5271]

I never had one of these but my older brother borrowed one off of a friend for the day. I got about 30 seconds with it and remember being in awe of it, especially the head/guns.

[@paulchoccyt1303]

I have this! Got it for Christmas one year. Was so awesome

[@DiRtYLaWs2007]

Ahh, Christmas Day 1982... still remember unwrapping this. I was 4 and a half years old. Memories like that stay with us.

[@f1shhead1roblox92]

i actually recently got a vintage at at walker it has no discoloration but my figures didnt fit on the pegs and the motor didnt work easy i had to push the gun things back a foward a bit and it worked

[@meatloafknight]

Oh man! I got this for christmas in about 1982 or so and it was by far my favorite toy from my childhood. I have since rebought two more for my collection...just love em'.

[@Chris.T.Ortez138]

Great video! I have clear memories of begging my grandma to buy this for me at Toys R Us when it came out. I eventually wore the poor woman down and left with it! I still have mine with the box, as well. Cheers!

[@Lord_Narcowookie]

I got one for Christmas '81, still got it, still works.

[@Mrhandfriends]

Pretty sure I got this in Xmas 83 as well !! Thank you for bringing back so many wonderful memories !! I used to put a figure in the battery compartment - hiding / like the did in the falcon !! PS I never had the ale tea bits either. !

[@happyhammer1]

I used to own it! My mom got it for me at a garage sale. I played with that toy more than any other.

[@NormanLy101]

Me too. I got mine in Christmas 83....a long with the Slave One ....and a snow speeder

[@capeRCouple]

i actually had this as a kid and it was my favorite toy out of everything i ever had,i do noy however remember what ever happened to it and knowing how big starwars is today wish i still had it

[@michaelhoule2134]

Yup I remember getting this for xmas around 83 or so. I got a whole shit ton I think about 23 figures, a x-wing and this. I already had the Falcon. I never had a lot of the little toys like the vehicle with the steam roller like wheel's. Yup it came with a shit ton of extra stuff. I turned my at at legs into a warhammer 40k scale reaver titan around 92 or 93. My brother put it back together and we sold all my old SW toys around 98 or 99.... Great video, thanks for the walk down memory lane. heh my guns broke and my mom had to use her hot glue gun to stick the gun barrels back on.

[@StopTheStinkTV]

Wow that brings back some magical memories of childhood. All my Star Wars gear including this and the INT-4 is still up in the loft at my folks house. It still has its box too as does my (heavily played with, but still mostly intact) Millennium Falcon, Slave 1 and SnowSpeeder . Good times and thanks for sharing.

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

This is a really cool toy. I just got my mom one of these, she cried tears of joy when I gave it to her. She wanted one so badly when she was a kid and she told me she was denied it because she was a girl and girls shouldn’t have something like this. The one I got her has seen better days, but it’s mostly there, and she loves it. Got one for myself too, looks great in my collection

[@johngreany9577]

I Remember when I was a kid too. I had soooooo many star wars toys I am sooooo sorry I got rid of them I really wanted to pass them down to my kids. My kids went with me to all day star wars marathon at the movies an actually loved the films including the new ones. Love your video brings back good memories used to drive my mother crazy when I had to bring my toys with me everywhere. Ha ha ha ha ha

[@Oceansteve]

OMG.. I just saw your INT-4... I had one of those and loads of memories came flooding back. thanks!

[@actionjackman]

its from the sw accessory set that came with some AT-ATs, also as a mail away

[@AI_ENTREPRENEURS2024]

Whaa... I never did get my AT-At! However, I live in Cincy and my Aunt worked for Kenner during the originals, so you can imagine the collection I had as a kid. 😊

[@aaronornelas8348]

I cried though the whole video, Man i miss having this toy, May the Force Be with you!

[@actionjackman]

Aaron Ornelas Thanks mate

[@timotley2100]

I wanted an AT-AT starting at age 6 and finally got one on my 18th birthday as a tongue in cheek gift. Better late than never! I'm not sure why I thought it was cool...maybe because it resembled a pet dog? Actually, it might have been the most expensive Star Wars toy ($50 in my neck of the woods), so it was quite the coveted prize for playground boasting. Millennium Falcon was actually a much cooler toy. Probably the best Star Wars toy. I was fond of the Dagabah play set as well.

[@razorsedge5145]

Those things are so cool. I never got one of those when I was a kid.

[@rondarwooton9701]

I picked this up just taken out of the box (100% complete) but just taken out side the box for $85! I also got the box with it for free. Also picked up some vintage figures in great condition and original weapons. Total was $130 for 8 figures and this. Love your channel btw! I hope you review return of the Jedi figures soon.

[@NerdBrosComedy]

This is the best Star Wars vehicle, in my opinion. Love the buggers. Also mate, you may be able to answer me question! How easy are vintage Gonk/Power Droids to get a hold of and what is their price? Would love to get one for me desk.

[@martyhopkirk72]

Just pulled mine out of the attic. All complete with yellow chin guns and original bulb intact. Searched around for some D sized batteries and it still works!! Happy days 😆😆😆

[@cryogeneric]

I actually played with my AT-AT in the snow, left it outside overnight, and had to dig it out the next day. I don't recall any significant damage, but the stickers fell off eventually. My parents never bought batteries for my toys, though, so you never know.

[@briancross7835]

Wow! She is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this. You took me back to my childhood. However, I never had this particular early '80s version. I have the 1997 re-release.

[@TheRealKalEll]

Memories ... and of the extra larger figurines of Darth Vader and white Storm Troopers. All Terrain Armored Transport, lol...love it. Kenner Toys were amazing

[@speedwell0560]

Brilliant memories! BTW I’m sure the large peg inside was to secure the INT-4 shuttle as there was a large hole on the black skid/stabiliser, I’m also sure I saw this on a box as a child

[@nolanwinter5401]

I was lucky enough to have one but, It was about a week before I got bored of It. I was ten and the AT-AT was huge. It was hard to carry around and play with. It looked great on display though.

[@mosspb2879]

I'm,12 years old and my dad had and has one of these ATAT and its one of my favorite toys close to the B-Wing

[@maddwoba]

Missed out on this one back in the day--My friend had one---Great review

[@hektor-vektor7024]

damn this toy was so expensive, i begged for it but got AT-ST instead, not the worst compromise

[@Schtinklenuts]

AKN Concept the at st is still great

[@MrRe-pg7fj]

AKN Concept at at would been good but now it is so expensive still like the 2010 at at and at act

[@addington3o396]

Hektor-Vektor I got one in mint Condition on eBay for 20.99

[@ratbatnufftime2861]

Hektor-Vektor 1983-1984. How expensive could it have been???

[@ratbatnufftime2861]

JP SixgunElectric in my country that's $279.93 in today's money........and that's not including import duties, frieght, Value Added Tax and overhead. WOW!!! In 1983, the exchange rate would have been maybe $2.00TT to $1.00 US, so it would have been a tad cheaper then.

[@haydnsamuels73]

I found that strangely calming. Thank you. An elegant toy of a more civilised age.

[@georgeaitken2719]

My big toy from my 1980 Christmas stuff came with some free accessories

[@ratbatnufftime2861]

I remembered the sticker details on my lambda class t4 shuttle craft when you opened the hatch.

[@TheRowlandstone73]

The AT-AT Commander you showed for scale was the first figure I ever owned. Unfortunately though, due to it's hefty price, I never had the AT-AT. I think it was like 30-odd quid, wasn't it? A fortune back in the early 80s! Sadly, the Millennium Falcon was seemingly out of my mum's budget too. I did get an AT-ST and Vader's TIE Fighter though.

[@DarthPontiac]

awesome ive got the jedi one ..has that red and black print on the back of the box as well. must be a US release thing . Full around gloss is sick

[@ALPINA527]

I literally have every toy in that image, more than 1 of each, got the hoth base and wampa too 🤗

got this in my loft all original from the 80's , my dad got it for me and my bro from asda wembley just off north circular , we got the millenium falcon too at same time , got that too stored safely , no box , but totally complete and in good condition , my dad died in april 2019 at nearly 85 , makes me think of him (

I remember getting an ATAT for xmas in about 1982, I was over the moon!

Ive still got mine from when i was a kid, ive just restored my millenium falcon, and after the new year im going to bring my at-at back to life. Nice video...

[@actionjackman]

Gary Horsburgh Thanks mate, my Falcon is in a bit of a mess

[@zajcu48elfer65]

nice

[@inthinkable]

As someone who has a very impressive original Star Wars collection (because I'm an only child born in 81 and my parents spoiled me), I never had one of these but I wish I did after seeing this.

[@RJM1011]

Thank you for the video I had one of these from the same year when I was a kid it was years of fun. I got the commander but never found the drivers.

[@13th.zordoz7]

20/20 and that's still one of the coolest toys ever!!!👍😟 Wish I had one!!

[@DanimalsDioramas]

great review pal. Absolutely one of my favorite toys from childhood. Never owned one myself until the POTF2 line in the 90s, but I did love to play with my cousins original as a young child.

[@actionjackman]

Oh you really do need one, great one to start back on the vintage road. I remember using a box with holes in as the Sarlacc, does that count?

[@scottm4969]

Christmas 1980. I still have it and the box.

[@reel_images]

Oh man, I'm laughing like a little kid with excitement. As I sure everyone was wanting to see the guns in action, as soon as you started to demonstrate the gun fire I was laughing like a little kid. They say the difference between Boys and Men is the price of the toys. I'm sure this At-At is worth alot these days. Awesome video! It's cool to see a grown man still get excited over a childhood toy. Well done

[@actionjackman]

Thanks man. Best toy ever created. I stand by that. Firing those guns off takes me right back, that's what its all about for me. Cheers for watching.

[@jonmowat6563]

It was £40 here in the UK when it came out, as i was there the day my mum bought this for my younger brother in 1981. 👍🍺😎🙋

[@actionjackman]

That was ALOT back then. Nearly 2 years pocket money for me.

[@ChapmanFilms]

Are you kidding me? I did not know that was a battery compartment! All those years wasted. I thought that is where you store the guns!!! Even my friends did the same thing. UGH!!! I always wonder what that button was for? I never had the little string either! Now I need to go buy one of these AT-AT so I can get the full play experience that I missed out on! Glad your back because I missed you!!... Well your videos too. ha!

[@Thor13332]

Still a nice toy 3 decades later.

[@actionjackman]

Thanks Cam, had to make the studio bigger for this one, well add another sheet!

[@tbrasc0]

I got this for my birthday many a moon ago. My dad sold it at a car boot during the 90's.... Thanks dad.

[@actionjackman]

That's a real shame, I hear that a lot. What is it with parents eh? They just don't get it

[@francesmallon6979]

actionjackman Making me feel even worse now :(

[@Schtinklenuts]

I bought one and fully completed it. It had no yellowing and no cracks. By far my favorite kenner vehicle I have.

[@antofire500]

Starwars vintage ships are awesome!! Very cool toy my friends. Very good video, Thanks so much.

[@cronocomics]

The front cabin was the weakness of this toy as the one from the movie showed the AT-AT commander standing behind the drivers. Later versions of this vehicle fixed that issue. All in all it is an awesome vehicle, one I always wanted when I was a kid but my interest in Star Wars was soon eclipsed by MOTU and later G.I. Joe.

[@Andrew-el8xi]

My rich mate had this we used to recreate the hoth scene and turn off the lights and hit those laser guns ! Great days I got my snow speeder out to just great fun

[@actionjackman]

Thanks Sam, snow rarely lays near me because of the sea, but it was my pet dog for a while

[@MightyPredaking]

This is one of those things that I owed and hope I can find it again at my mom's old house. I don't remember having the light up guns on mine though since I think my parents bought it at a yard sale one year. Since I always mixed GI Joe and Star Wars together, this was sometimes Cobra's ultimate weapon. Oh.....and Cobra always won, unlike in the cartoons.

[@subseeker]

I had this too when I was little... Can't remember what happend to it, I must've sold the damn thing for a couple of beers. Such a cool toy back then - and it still is!

[@actionjackman]

***** Ouch! Good beers I hope?

[@subseeker]

actionjackman Well... How to put this... I guess?? My pancreas exploded a few years back, so no more beer for me.

[@actionjackman]

***** OUCH!! Get yourself an AT-AT instead then eh?

[@subseeker]

actionjackman Yeah, that crossed my mind :-D

[@subseeker]

actionjackman I'm looking for a decent scale model kit instead. Not any of the old ones, though, they're pretty bad. And so are those snap-on kits aswell. They should release a new one, for us adults, with higher level of detail and lots of parts to glue down. Would keep me busy for a couple of weeks...

[@actionjackman]

yeah I remember someone bringing one in for toy day

[@rebelfleettrooper9881]

This was a neat set! It was as big as the Millennium Falcon, and twice as fun, too!

[@bujindork]

I always wanted the At-At but never got one. At least I had the Millennium Falcon and X-Wing fighter.

[@madjoe8622]

Finally, 39 years after I have seen Star wars the new hope for the first time, I found out what AT-AT means. I had this toys btw :)

Great review. I've had my AT-AT for years and years and it's missing the lid on the head and also the moving lasers. This video makes wanna hunt down some spare parts from ebay so I can fix my baby up cuz It's up in the attic now and it makes me sad.

[@justincooper6340]

Wow now i know what the foot pegs were for! Never knew!

[@dfernand101]

I remember seeing this in Debenhams in Blackburn when it first came out and some old granny came up and said "you could buy a bed for that price, all for a piece of plastic !". She didn't know anything, she would never work for ILM.

[@actionjackman]

David Boris Fernandez haha, my gran got me my first figure, the ATAT driver funnily enough. I didn't even know what Star Wars was back then, so it's all down to her.

if I'm not mistaken back in the day I think it was abt $59 for this and abt $59 for the Millenium Falcon as well. I got both of them one Christmas. before that I made a cardboard Millenium Falcon which I think laster for 2 days to a week
