Look what they did with the AT-ST! They don't even have the right figure with
it!
Seriously, I'm very dissapointed with the AT-ST. It looks around $15, and I
was looking forward to buying about a trillion at that price, simply because
the'd be cheap, I love AT-STs, and I need some Imperials, already! But
look...they did something so low and horrible, I could not have forseen even
TLC doing it. Yep, the only figure included is CHEWBACCA! Now, I know it's
possible theres an AT-ST driver inside, but they usually display all the figs
standing around, and I'd especially think they'd do that with a ground
walker. The Imperial Shuttle has to have a pilot in there, but thats because
Palpatine and the two guards were enough to display; look at the TIE fighter,
both figs are displayed. The best would have been a driver and 2
stormtroopers. The most reasonable for them would have been Chewie, a driver,
and stormtrooper. The least would have been one driver. But it's got 1
Wookiee! It may still have a driver, but I feel I'm just fooling myself
thinking that...
I also think I'd have preferred it in a Hoth enviornment, maybe with
Snowtroopers or a white speeder bike. Oh, well...maybe they are saving that
for the AT-AT :)
