LOL, Gil...I actually told Ace he should christen it the Beta Carotene a few days ago on FBTB! He said he was actually going to do it! You really echo my other sentiments on the ship as well: much like the Onion wing, it stands up as an interesting (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hmm, I dont recall seeing a speeder bike during the Hoth scenes, but I have noticed one thing: 3 new minifigs, prolly going to be very much in demand, and I would guess they are only going to be available in this $89.99 set... (22 years ago, 7-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build.mecha)

I just finished building the AT-TE and what a great set. I do have one beef. The two round tiles on either side with the republic logo are not the printed versions of this part but are stickered. Being somewhat of a LEGO purist, I'm not all that (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)

This is a freaking blast. Not only is it a smart looking ship in it's own right, but it's also a carrot! And let's not forget it contains the daily recommended dose of betacarotine :) Awesome. Cheers, -Gil (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)
