|
|
the main reason for doing it was economics. They could have put 3 things in the at-st: chewie an at-st pilot a stormtrooper the at-st pilot would have been a new fig so thats out the reason they chose chewie over the trooper is because chewie has a (...)

(...) I would hope that the helmet is solid... The Stormtroopers "visors" aren't inset like the scout troopers, or even the royal guards, they're more "bubbly" like Vader's. That said, the helmets need to be solid. I was hoping we'd get an AT-ST (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) that only applies to parts that are "recognisably SW" (like the battle droid head). The body and legs and arms are such that they are generic. (24 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) At that scale, does it really matter if the color is a shade darker or lighter than it "should" be? Luke's eyes aren't dull LEGO brown, either, but it was close enough for minifigs. Are there any shots in Star Wars in which the highlights are (...) (24 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Close enough. Stormtrooper highlights are indead a shade of dark Blue. That said I bet we get black with the LEGO Stormtrooper seeing they couldn't even get the color of the Falcon right. (...) Well looking at the low quality picture we have (...) (24 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)
