(...) I like it too. The model's not bad, for the price point, and it is roughly to scale. I wish it came with a Stormtrooper or two, but c'est la vie. eric (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well, I'd agree that it can only be used in certain SW MOCs. You could use it in an Imperial Base, for example, checking on the progress of a partol or something. eric (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(Always great to hit the send button by mistake... Anyway,) (...) How about the shuttle and TIE from the 2001 line and the MTT from 2000? IMHO they're great models, and from what I've heard from others they're great part repositories. As for model (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) The 1x4 is nice, but I find the viewscreen kind of annoying because it isn't nonspecific enough to use in any MOC. You'd have to use it in something that's attacking an AT-ST. ;^) ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) 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)
