The AT-ST only sucks on three points in my opinion: (1) No Stormtrooper ,
(2) No AT-ST Driver, (3) The head does not turn left and right. I can
correct the last myself, but the other two make upgrades expensive. On
other bad news (relatively) Target clearance sales have increased my Biker
Scout Army to 32 mini-figs (at $2.44 a piece who could say no?). Why is
that bad? Cause how in the heck am I gonna get at least that many Stormies?
Lego HAD BETTER come up with a sub-$10.00 set including 2 to 4 Stormtroopers
next assortment round, or at LEAST a collectable mini-fig pack with 2
Stormtroopers and one TIE Pilot soon (like now). I think that this is my
major gripe with the AT-ST, it is Imperial, after all.
2 cents,
Aaron
