Okay, I admit it. I like the AT-ST. It's great for parts,
and as a model it's not bad! As far as Chris's complaints,
remember that the unofficial name for the AT-ST after its first
appearance in ESB, at least among the fans, was "Chicken Walker."
I don't think it was intimidating until it was shot that way
in the Endor sequences, and even then only barely--so I think
TLG did an OK job. However, they could have engineered some
aspects better; one must turn the tan gable connectors upward
to get it to stand at a normal angle, and a turntable would
have been better than the too-tall "waist" analogue.
Otherwise, I'm buying at least three more. Not as AT-STs,
mind you, but for parts. ;)
