(...) 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)

(...) 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)
