"Thi-Sen is chieftain of the powerful Talz warriors who inhabit the planet Orto Plutonia. Wearing distinctive armor, the fierce leader fights to keep his people free when a representative from the nearby Pantora moon claims jurisdiction over the ice planet."

AT-ST marked down to $10 at Walmart
Today I scored 2 AT-ST's for $10 each. My store still has 10 in stock. I figured the reason why I got so lucky was because they have them in the bike section on the top shelf where no one can reach them. They also had the Evolutions Pilot 3packs for $5 each. Now is the time to check out your local Walmarts since they are marking most of their Star Wars toys down. Look around on the top shelves as well.

Toy Gallery: Disturbance at Lars Homestead
"Moisture farms, like the one owned by Owen and Beru Lars, use moisture vaporators to take precious water vapor from the dry Tatooine air to use or resell. A womp rat lurks on the edge of the farm as stormtroopers arrive, searching for R2-D2 and C-3PO. The troopers question Owen and Beru about the missing droids with typical Imperial harshness. When the troopers are finished, they set fire to the farm, leaving no one alive to reveal what happened."

In accordance with the usual perceptions of HK model assassin droid, the best way to terminate hostilities was to kill everything present.

Wow, Hasbro did a great job with creating this figure which had very few seconds of screen time in ESB. I wonder what made them want to make this figure. Either way we get another great addition to our ever growing collections. And what is that he is carring along with him which has a rebel logo on the bottom? Could that be some kind of build a droid part? Or is that the computer memory core?

The 2009 Legacy Collection AT-AT Driver is by far the best version of this figure to date. The previous Saga Collection version was already nice sculpt. Hasbro out did themselves this time.
