Mouse Surplus giant ATAT on tv tonight.

It's a part of tonight's Shipping Wars episode on A & E.

I saw it down in Haines City a few years ago with the head and front blasters operating.
I didn't think the base price was unreasonable for what it is, but when we thought about what shipping would cost and the fact that it would take up our whole family room space we said no and just bought some other Star Wars items.

You know, I saw that in the opening credits for Shipping Wars and wondered if it was from Star Tours.

No, it's mentioned in the show that it was built for, and on display at, the old FAO Schwartz store in Las Vegas.
The store was in The Forum Shops at Caesars. I might have a pic of it there buried somewhere.

It was smaller than the one at Star Tours. They shipped it from somewhere here in Kissimmee. I'm surprised it wasn't damaged in transport, as the guy shipping it didn't secure it properly in the truck. He also was pissed because the camera crew wouldn't help him reposition it after it shifted.
