I just finished building the AT-TE and what a great set. I do have one beef. The two round tiles on either side with the republic logo are not the printed versions of this part but are stickered. Being somewhat of a LEGO purist, I'm not all that (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) One of the best advantages to stickers is the whole option setting. (you're not compelled to apply them in contrast to elements already printed.) In this case, I would prefer lego give the option of both stickers or decals for the model. (I (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)
