It's been in a few sets as a windscreen/rollcage. Here's the bricklink info on it:

I felt the urge to build something castle-like in the style of a diorama. Enjoy my rock fortress.
It's 64x64 bricks, rather restricted color palette, and can be expanded upon. I'm considering adding a small lake with an underwater connection with some cavern beneath a grate of sorts in the large cavern.

If anyone's interested, i can upload the .lxf file somewhere.

You're not kidding. I've been dropping around $20 a day on cracklink since last Wednesday...and all on random parts. It's been like Christmas checking the mail after work each day this week tho :)

Phyresis beat me to what I was gonna say, but...depending on which AT-AT you were talking about...Toys R Us has the new one in stores now for $110.

I think the old, motorized one is a better value...the only thing the new one has going for it is sheer number of minifigs.

That's pretty amazing. I always enjoyed building crazy rear end castles (Nothing that crazy. :v:) as a kid. When I get my own place and get my old Legos from my dad's storage I'll have to try building up some poo poo of my own.

You should consider picking up its predecessor on Bricklink or something:

http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=10199-1

You can get 'em for only $15 to $20 more than their original price, which is kind of funny - they ran short of the demand for the set around Christmas, presumably because scalpers were buying them up in bulk, and now they've only raised in value by $15 or so due to there being SO MANY available now on the secondary market. There's one guy on BL with 30 of these things.

e: Sadly most of those are overseas, it seems. Cheapest US one is $90.

Actually after looking closer at it, I don't want it. At first glance it looked like a full building, not just the shopfront.

I did this. I finally decided to try getting in on that scalping thing and picked up 3 of those Winter Toy Shops. Now that I see tons available, I'm thinking I picked the wrong set to try this out on. I am going to try to ebay them this winter, but if I can't get at least $100 each then I'll just hold on to them for another year or two.

As far as short demand, my local Lego Store simply had boxes upon boxes of the Winter Toy Shop even up to a week before Christmas. It didn't seem to be a very hot set at the time and I guess that is showing in the second hand market.

I got the last one from my LEGO store sometime in November and they never got any more. I was reading on Eurobricks at the time about a number of people in the states being unable to find the set, versus people overseas swimming in them.
