In terms of the display value of the set, the AT-ST looks incredible from any angle. The AT-ST from the Star Wars films has such an iconic and menacing profile, and LEGO does a great job of bring that design to life with this updated model. You feel like AT-ST might just start walking on its own at any minute. The model looks particularly menacing when faced directly toward you. You can almost imagine that you're either Han Solo or Princess Leia staring up at the vehicle - hoping not to get blown away - while attempting to breach the shield generator bunker.

The only complaint I have concerning the model is the color choice of the Technic pins used in the leg-construction of the AT-ST. This is a question I very frequently have while assembling LEGO sets. Why doesn't LEGO choose to sprinkle such inconspicuous colors throughout their models? I understand why an inconspicuous color might be used in the construction of an element of a model which - once completed - is completely hidden from view. I also understand why the inclusion of inconspicuous "stand-out" colors can make the construction of a model easier for the builder. What I don't understand is why LEGO chooses to use inconspicuous colors which act as eye sores once a model is completed. Particularly, if a much more conspicuous color is available. For example, if you look at the construction of the AT-ST's legs you'll notice that a number of blue Technic pins were used to construct the legs. Blue is not a color which exists on the real in-universe AT-ST from the films, including the Rogue One film. Using such an odd color only attracts attention to the fact that the model is built from bricks. A great LEGO design detracts the viewer from thinking about the model as a series of bricks. The oddest part of this color choice is that LEGO could have very easily used a less conspicuous color of Technic pins to accomplish the same result in a much more elegant way. Nevertheless, this color issue can be very easily fixed by changing out the blue Technic pins for either black or light bluish gray pins [most of us have a ton of these pins lying around anyway].
