CUTE??? Its an Imperial AT-ST!!! The designers designed it to look • fearsome,

Oh, come on.  It's *LEGO* for Pete's sake.  Even Darth Vader is 'cute' as
a LEGO minifig.


He is? He looks very unsavory to me, grey skin, wrinkles, etc...

Ahem. Well I don't think it looks cute, I do think it is fairly good
considering the price, and the fact that Lego Designers obviously aren't • as
talented as some of the AFOLs out there (No offense LEGO, but you have to
admit they're damn good!)

I don't know if it's a question of talent or not.  Judging from some of
the stuff I've seen, it might well be a question of the limitations they
have to work under.  I suspect AFOLs often have it easy in comparison,
because they don't have to consider piece count or manufacturing costs or
anything for their models.


That is true, and some of Legos preliminary models have looked incredible
(ie: theSandcrawler) its just that I've seen a few ATSTs out there that
haven't used many more pieces, yet looked ten times better...

(...) I don't have a vadar minifig and don't intend on getting a set with one; could somebody post a link to a picture of the head under the helmet? (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I was actually thinking with the helmet on...his stubby little legs and arms, his oversized head...he looks 'cute'. J (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)
