Do you all think it's possible that he will allow some Star Wars toys to be re-released? What I'm getting at is that now that I have a little more cash overall to collect, I'm trying to pick up stuff I missed but always wanted, either as a kid or a young adult trying to make it through school when some good stuff was coming out. For instance, I always wanted an AT-AT, but even the retail price of $50-60 was too high for me at one time. I looked on evilBay, and I saw them for $120-160, which I could theoretically afford, but I don't really wanna pay that much for toys, especially given Lucas' business savvy for re-releasing and repainting things to make more dough. Do any of you forsee him releasing classic vehicles yet again such as the AT-AT or Slave 1 or should I just suck it up and get them where I can find them?

If you wait long enough, they will probably be reissued. Just about every vehicle has been rereleased in some form or another. Whether it be different packaging or paint deco. The AT-AT has been released twice already and the Slave-1 three times. Once with classic mold and Empire colors, and twice with AOTC mold one with AOTC colors and another with Empire colors.
If you can find it at a good price, buy it, but like I said, they'll eventually come back around.

Not until some kind of anniversary date. It's possible as part of the Legacy line, but I don't see them doing it right now. Not when there's all sorts of new things they can make for Clone Wars.

Well, from rumors there's a good chance Boba Fett may be in the upcoming live action TV show, so there may be a chance for a Slave 1 right there.

yeah I'd expect to see a Slave 1 but as far as the AT AT I would expect around a 100 price point if it does come out again simply because I'm sure it will be updated in one way or another.

Over at Rebel Scum there's talk of a larger Slave 1 coming out.

They just released an Endor AT-AT like a year ago. I think that I have seen it still at TRU a few weeks ago. But we seem to get things later up in Canada. So it might be a few years until they reissue it again.

this would be a Hasbro decision and not a Lucas decision. I assure you, George Lucas does not have a say in every toy that is released. Hasbro owns the licensing rights for Star Wars action figures, which evidently encompass At-At's considering Hasbro has already released an At-At toy. so they have the rights to do so, and can do so whenever they please without seeking any further permission.

The Endor one ended her about a year ago.
I'd guess we'll see an AT-AT around 2012. Slave one probably before that. |
