AT-ST
My lottery-ticket winning needs keep adding up (hat tip to Fred Kiesche).
The All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST) Walker is a cousin of the AT-AT. While smaller ("only" 8.6 meters) and less difficult to destroy, the AT-ST is quick, agile, and able to traverse areas the AT-AT cannot enter. It is often used to supplement the AT-ATs, providing maneuverability to the larger Walkers. The AT-ST, while not as impervious to heavy blasters as are their larger relatives, can resist most handheld blaster bolts and smaller laser cannons. It packs two chin-mounted heavy laser cannons, with a double light blaster on the port of its "head" and a concussion-grenade launcher on the starboard. These weapons are intended for use against ground troops and thus sacrifice some damage (compared to the AT-AT's heavy laser cannons) for accuracy.

Hmmm. Does it come with the less-hairy operator? *Then* I might bid! (Looking around to see if She Who Will Be Obeyed is present)

Coincidentally, I received for Christmas, and this morning, only an hour or so before reading this post, assembled, a little Lego AT-ST, which will proudly reside on my office bookshelf.
