Lego lauches Star Wars Robot for Christmas - video and photos
Summer is over so if you’re one of those moronic shopaholics you’re probably thinking about Christmas aren’t you!
Well Lego has come to your rescue by opening pre-orders for its latest Star Wars model, the minifig scale AT-AT walker, complete with tiny Luke Skywalker.
This ‘robot’ is able to walk on most flat surfaces and will ship later this year in the US for $130 (£64, €92).
Here’s what the Lego Catalogue page says:
Motorized action straight from the Star Wars™ movies!
Behold the power of the Empire! For the first time ever, the ultimate Motorized Walking AT-AT is ready to crush the Rebel Alliance at your command. Thanks to the new Power Functions System, the mighty All-Terrain Armored Transport really walks forward or backward into battle!

- Includes AT-AT Pilot, General Veers, Snowtrooper and Luke Skywalker with grappling line and lightsaber!

Cheers! You might have just saved my skin re Christmas ideas for my much-indulged six-year-old nephew! If it makes it to Oz by then…I will be the coolest aunt

I’m not impressed, my cats can walk backwards and forwards much better and with more style too. And they can jump, and climb, and purr and…… ok, I’ll have another kitty for Christmas. :-p
