If you made a LEGO Star Wars purchase at the LEGO Store or on Shop@Home, you would have received one of the new LEGO Star Wars Rebels polybags for 2015, the 65-piece AT-DP (30274).
If you’re not familiar with the All Terrain Defense Pod, that is because it is a fairly new Imperial walker that’s mostly been seen so far in the Star Wars Rebels animated series. It is a variant of the AT-ST and has a armored head with a single laser cannon that is mounted in the lower front area. They are deployed to check out areas that have suspected Rebel activity.
Although the AT-DP is a smaller version, it does have a similiar look as its larger counterpart with set 75083. Note that it does not come with a minifigure but I’ve displayed one next to the AT-DP to show a size comparison.
Overall, the AT-DP (30274) is good for what you get, if you can get it. I’m hearing reports that Shop@Home is no longer offering the polybag even if you have a Star Wars set in your shopping cart. I’m not sure if they ran out online or if LEGO is still having issues with their website. As far as I know, LEGO Brand Stores are still handing these out but you may want to make your purchases earlier in the month and not wait because they will eventually run out as well.

Just to provide even more of an update, the flower cart polybag isn’t loading into the cart either. Haven’t tried the friends one yet though.
What happens if the free polybags are sold out when you checkout? Do they give you another polybag for free then?
S@H is now confirmed as being out of all three January GWP polybags, and many stores were apparently cleaned out of the AT-DP sometime over the weekend.
It was a great idea to help promote SW sales on the same day that they launched a new wave that just happened to contain the most desired SW set since the UCS Falcon.
I got hooked up with the AT-DP and Employee Minifig at my store. I go there every week and she was like since you spend some much time here, you are basically one of us and handed me the employee minifig. I was like sweet!!! Than she goes and hand me the Star Wars polybag; I didn’t even buy a Star Wars set. I didn’t look at it until I got into the car and I was like even more sweet.
If they run out of Polybags, then you are out of luck, store wise and SFH, you can always get them on ebay as another option.
Nice of the employee to do that. Sometimes you just get lucky!
