Actually, I quite like the AT-ST. Then again, I also liked the Millenium
Falcon.
There are some definite details on the cab/head, and the parallel swivel-hip
mimics pretty closely the way the walkers moved in the movies.
While a much better job could undoubtedly be done at a higher price point, the
model itself is not bad, and the parts selection it offers is pretty nice,
really.
I just wish LEGO had decided to throw some Stormtroopers in this set as well.
Even with Chewbacca, it's a natural fit- they were at the Battle for Endor,
after all, and it would give us a second outlet for a much anticipated new
minifig.
