Two 4x4 radar dishes, grey lightsaber handles, new round click-joint pieces, steep slopes, two flashlights (I don't think these have been in a SW set yet), two or more of (...)

| Am I the only one here who LIKES the AT-ST? I mean it's not perfect, but for $10 it's a great set (and if it were much more, even as a better set, I probably wouldn't have bought it).

I doubt that a better AT-ST could have been accomplished at the $10 price point...the thing is...it shouldn't have been done at the $10 price point - it's just too complex to be done well with such frugality.
