the-bricking-builder Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Hey guys, I recently recieved all 6 of the planet sets, and I start with reviewing one of my favourites, Set name: 9679 AT-ST& Endor. Minifigures: 1 (AT-ST Driver) Piece count: 65 Price: 15 euro. Year of release: 2012 this is your front of your box, I like the AT-ST in the forest. the side of the box, is, just a side of a box and the back of the box. It's got all the 3 planet sets pictured on it. This is what you get when you opened your box: 2 little bags, an instruction manual and 2 identical halfs that build the planet. Just a random page in the instruction manual. On same page there is a Darth Maul pictured, just the same as on the logo This ad is placed at the end of the instruction manual, But there is a second add, showing all the set from the first wave of 2012 The parts unpacked and displayed, as you can see the're not so much different colours used. The main reason of buying this set, the AT-ST Driver. He supports the same head as the Death Star trooper does from the 9492 tie fighter. He also haves backprinting. Isn't he a beauty ? http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312894236/in/set-72157629995897372/ And the backprinting on him. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312895034/in/set-72157629995897372/ Alright, starting to build the cockpit, it's a very easy build, but very acurate. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312893630/in/set-72157629995897372/ The finished cockpit, complete with the guns, and a spinning disk to let the cockpit spin. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312892306/in/set-72157629995897372/ The legs. I think for the younger builders, this could be a hard thing to make, and it's very instable. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312893006/in/set-72157629995897372/ The front of the cockpit, which uses exactly the same flagpiece in the older AT-ST. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312890942/in/set-72157629995897372/ The back of the AT-ST. I think it could use something like an extra detail, but you can't have everything. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312890326/in/set-72157629995897372/ The complete build. The stand. http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312889660/in/set-72157629995897372/ The special information tile: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312888376/in/set-72157629995897372/ The forest moon of Endor, you can't say you hate it http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312896842/in/set-72157629995897372/ The spare parts. You can never have too many of those guys! http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312887828/in/set-72157629995897372/ And a really unfair picture showing the size difference between this one and the one from 8038. We all know who's bigger, don't we? http://www.flickr.com/photos/79783678@N02/7312887208/in/set-72157629995897372/ FINAL VERDICT. Price: 15 euro's is the same price as a regular BP, and in a BP we got more figs for your money 5/10 Playabillity. The AT-ST can't stand on is own, only if you attach it to a stud floor or whatever. 6/10 Minifigure. This minifigure is just beautifull, only minor is that it doesn't have any leg printing. 9,5/10 Parts, no new parts, comes with a regular pack of parts 6,5 27 out of 40 is a good score for a great set. A defintially must buy for every Endor geek like me! Thanks for reading, Roy Quote
