(...) I think they could have at least made it 15 dollars, replace Chewie with an Imperial officer, and include an Echo troop (same as that comes with the Snowspeeder). -- Andrew, Agent 0007 (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) A "correct" AT-ST would have more detail, be entirely gray etc. A "correct" Millenium Falcon would be the same...
