(...) The AT-ST only sucks on three points in my opinion: (1) No Stormtrooper , (2) No AT-ST Driver, (3) The head does not turn left and right. I can correct the last myself, but the other two make upgrades expensive. On other bad news (relatively) (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

Skip, I've lost faith in TRU with the 2001 line. I'm on the road a lot, and I make a point to visit every WalMart and TRU on my route. Although WalMart's shelves were bare for a couple weeks after Christmas, they wasted no time replenishing every (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) To be honest, I LIKE the AT-ST. No, it's not a wonderful set overall. For $10, however, it is. If you can manage to prop the legs in the correct position, it can walk fairly well, and I think the way they have the hatch is set up nicely. (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
