Content
As expected from the battle pack, we get 2 packs of bricks and an instruction booklet. Also there is one piece that caught my attention, is it a new piece? Below are the pictures:

Accessories
Well the box art is pretty accurate with the number of blaster which is three blasters, two short and one long. Well, only the officer do not have any gun I suppose.

Minifigs
We get a pretty nice minifigs from this battle pack. We get new AT-AT pilot headgear, maybe torso too (since I didn't own any one before) and also new Imperial Officer Torso. Below are the pictures of all the minifigs:

While here's the picture of the AT-AT Pilot and below are the pilot headgear, which the LEGO Group is trying to give as much detail as possible:

And as we all know under the helmet of Snow Trooper and AT-AT Pilot is black head stud.

Speederbike
Here's the speederbike for the Snow Trooper which I still think is pretty cool although the front are a little different. By the way, LEGO do edit some pieces, which is the 1x1 stud with hole. Below are the pictures of speederbike:

Command Platform
Here's the command platform which have playable flick-fire missile and rotatable seat together with a piece of printed monitor screen. Below are the pictures:

And here's the functions of the platform:

The seat is rotatable whereby you can flick it around anywhere you like and at the same time the missile can either shoot horizontally or shoot high to the top.

Extra pieces
Here's the pieces left after we done assembling the set with the minifigs.

Completed Model
I pretty much like this set, maybe because of the minifigs and speederbike and also the printed brick. Again, this set looks cool and a very good set to build your army. Well, who doesn't like the minifigs? =P

I guess is a must have again for this set, even for MOCer.

Playability: 6/10 There is not much to play about from this set.
Design : 8/10 Surprisingly, the speederbike still looks good.
Price : 4/10 The price here is very expensive.
Overall: 6/10 Nice minifig and nice design, but pricey.
