Who is going to pay $75 each for the three (you know you want three) in scale AT-AT's anyhow... which is what it would be.
...
This reads to me (3 AT-AT)/(75$), which is reasonable. If that isn't how he intends it and means $75 for each at-at, then hell no!
There are better ways to word it, especially in the context that the action fleet AT-AT are about the same price. He even starts to show off the action fleet models which only makes it more confusing.
"$75 each" is pretty unambiguous.
You are not getting it. We are arguing that it doesn't matter, since we are talking about fictional things. We never saw an X-Wing and AT-At in relation to each other, so what feels right is a legitimate measure.
Why does something being fictional or not make the scale no longer matter?
We see people getting in and out of X-wings so we can get a quite accurate size for the X-wing, same goes for the snow speeder. The we see the AT-AT's foot crush Luke's snow speeder and Luke scaling the AT-AT so we can actually get a close estimate of the size of the AT-AT.
I used to have the model kit from the mid 80's of the AT-AT, it also came with two snow speeders and two turrets.
That kit was was scale based on what we saw on screen. The snow speeder was only a little bigger than the AT-AT foot print was
I am not saying it doesn't matter at all, quite on the contrary, X-Wing being consistent in its scale makes it look amazing, especially compared to Attack Wing (not having the models look crap also helps), but rather that it is pointless to get hung up on specific scales when the things compared aren't even on screen together and several models for both exist, for which scaling most likely was an afterthought when making the movies.
Look, all the technical data is nice and all, but in the end it isn't, unlike with real world things, set in stone, so calling people out on not following it religiously makes no sense at all.
but rather that it is pointless to get hung up on specific scales when the things compared aren't even on screen together
Then it would be Pointless to have the TIE Bombers, the E-Wing, the Punisher, etc in a specific scale 
Thats a very different story, please read the first sentence of the post again. The TIE Bomber was on screen with the Falcon which was on screen with X-Wings and TIE Fighters. E-Wing and Punisher are made to somewhat fit into the other screen models.
You guys ain't gettin mad now are yeas?
Go play with the **** wonderful toys... even if some of you are WRONG about the sizes... so what's.
:lol:
I'm right of course... this time, but hey have a nice day anyway.
DAT GLORY...
It's a STAR WARS Toy Story!

No personal grudges held, just some disagreement. I never want to offend someone, but on the internet that is all too easy. I don't think our RogueLeader is of that sort, though, seems like a reasonable person.

Yeah it is all good here too.
as no-one is will to, okay.. I'tt get mad. just to fill the quota.
HOW COULD YOU EVEN DARE TO.. erm.. what was I supposed to be mad about..?
that glorious imperial camels and the ties.. you need to get an "out of the sun / with the sun in their back" angle, though ;-)
I really should do a epic/xwing/camel game on our next "elimination tourney". now to get the camels..
thanks again for making me poor(er!) JBR7 :-D

Thanks Brah!
Even better once I have the little monsters painted up.
I hope you have some good ideas for infantry. Here are some suggestions that I have in my rules:
1.) Do not give them maneuvers or dials.
2.) Allow them to take advantage of terrain and have the option to "go to ground" even in the open,
3.) Allow them the option of assaulting ground targets.
4.) Have them behave like real troops and be susceptible to being "pinned down" and "breaking" under fire.
5.) Allow them to rally and get back into the fight based on their skill and training.
6.) Give Stormtroopers some advantage for their armor!

Sounds an awful lot like 40k

Yeah I am kinda doing that, and treating them more or less like the wonderful Squadrons in ARMADA too.

Wouldn't be very Star Wars-y then. Doesn't stormtroopers armor magically attract shots. And multiplies damage done to the wearer by thrown rocks. Right?
Side note, at first my iPad auto-corrected "thrown" (correctly spelled) in that sentence to "Thrawn".
Using troops like Armada squadrons sounds like a good idea. You might want to check out the rules for Bolt Action, from what I've seen they might work well too.

an operative of theirs simply shut the door and everybody uses that timewindow to GTFO.

Yes!
Now that looks epic

Exactly what I did! I use 6mm troops that are a dead ringer for rebels.
