Just stopped by the TRU in Everett and grabbed an AT-ST while xmas shopping
for my wife. >:)
Here's what I thought:
Good set (not great), considering the price. For 10 bucks I got a chewie
(I would've preferred an Imperial driver, but I guess you have to get a
Millenium Falcon or this to get Chewie, and an AT-ST with neat articulated legs.
Color: Why the tan bricks? I wasn't too happy with the color selection of
the legs, and even the face. I think the face would've looked better with a
light gray center center slope and 1x4 L-shaped "eyesockets". The tan
really stands out to me, and distracts from the rest of the set.
Legs: I love the articulation ... three click hinges is great, except
that when you have the hinges in one good position (head forward & parallel
to the ground) the center of gravity is too forward, and the guy tips over
real easy.
Waist: I want the waist to turn around. Instead of the "shuffling"
technic set up, (or in addition) I would like a way for the head to swivel.
It should be able to look side to side.
Okay, that's it. I recommend it, because now we've got something to put
alongside the Speederbikes. Now I want some kind of Rebel offense ...
anything from the movies that would be fun to fight Speederbikes and AT-STs
with?
