The Scout Walker (or, as it's sometimes called, the AT-ST) is a cool toy. A button located at the back of the "head" makes the Walker's legs move up and down sporadically. The legs could also remain motionless so that the toy could stand. The Scout Walker was seen for about half a second in The Empire Strikes Back. It played a prominent role in Return of the Jedi. In the film, several of the vehicles were seen patrolling the forests of Endor, and in the battle on Endor. In 1983, the toy was re-released in a ROTJ package. While the first ROTJ version simply updated the ESB box with the logo of the new film, the second (and much more common) release featured an entirely re-worked package, which included a new Endor-themed photo. I got the Walker when it was first released in 1982, played with it for a few times and then stored it away for many years. It now is displayed proudly in my Star Wars museum.
