Get your own Star Wars AT-ST Walker for under P1M


Fans of the "Star Wars" franchise who happen to have P675,000 or so to burn can now get their own giant Imperial AT-ST Scout Walkers.

One such walker is being sold on eBay for £9,800 (P675,511.62), though the seller warns the walker won't be much good for actually conquering worlds.

At best, the UK-based sellers said the 16-foot-tall walker can be hired out to events, conventions, promotions and parties.

"This is a completely one off, stunning hand made static display replica, built very sturdily from Metal and Wood. It has been fully weather proofed and can live outside! It even comes fitted to its own trailer, which it easily removes from, as it is fitted to a metal frame stand so it doesn't have to be displayed on the trailer," the seller said.

But a separate article on Geekologie.com contested the seller's claim that the replica is life-sized.

It said it checked with the Star Wars wiki and found an AT-ST should stand 8.6 meters or 28 feet high.

Also, it noted the seller's claimed feedback rating of 91 percent "sounds like it's not the first time they've lied. " — TJD, GMA News
