Fun Hoth Set!

Posted by legoDad42 in United States on 18 January 2010

Very cute Star Wars Lego set. Easy to put together for your 6 year old with a nice amount of mini-figures.

PRO's-5 nice and very cool mini-figures (2 Hoth Troopers, 2 Snowtroopers, Hoth Han Solo) plus a great looking Taun Taun figure (so I guess you could say 6 figures). Cool looking Snowtrooper weapon and a rotating gun turret with a hidden door and top hatch to hold a figure. Also neat is behind the 'snow' wall the two Hoth Troopers stand on a tilting platform. When you push down on the center section you can snap the figures into the air simulating an expolsion.

CON's- The turret at times comes off too easily from the base but it's still very playable.

I recommend it for younger Star Wars Lego fans and for fans looking for some neat and fantastic figures.

AIM SET FIRE!

Posted by penguin999 in Canada on 13 January 2010

this set is great set for people who love a lot of mini figs because it has 5 mini figs plus a tauntaun. In this set it comes with little trench where the rebels came be safe from enemy fire. it has a bench in it so the rebels can look over the top but also it is a exploding effect. When you hit the end of the bench it flings the rebels in the air from an explotion. It also comes with turrent which can be connected to the base. you can open the turrent on the sides to put the rebels in there to control it or be safe in it. You can also put the rebel on the top but you cant close it when hes in the top but can be seated. it also come with missles on the sides of the turrent beside the laser cannon. You just press the button on the back and does not fire that good. Next is the snowtroopers laser cannon which is pretty lame. the wire piece that connects to the cannon and the brick piece is a whip. the laser cannon itself is not that sturdy. the mini figs are awsome. the snowtroopers. they come with a helmet which is connected to the backpack so you cant leave the helmet on and take the backpack off. their torsos are very well done too. The rebels are on ok but look like a normal man with snow clothes. they come with googles yhat goes way to low so their face looks messed up. and han solo is a great mini fig. he come with a detailed hood and body. if you put a brown hair piece on him then he looks even better. and last but not least the tauntaun. he is a cool extra in this set. there is 5 pieces to him( his 2 arms , 2 horns and body) you can put the little saddle on him which comes with this set on him or just leave it off. the only con about the tauntaun. is his feet dont move but his arms move.

pros: 5 minifigs
great army builder
tauntaun

cons: little base
black heads for snowtroopers
tauntauns arms dont move

TAUNTAUN!

Posted by Carl in New Zealand on 12 January 2010

First of all, I would like to correct lego_jets_99, who said in their review of this set that it contains a Wampa. There is not a Wampa in this set, and there will not be a Lego Wampa until the August set Hoth Wampa Cave. If you do not know the difference, go to: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wampa, and then compare it with: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tauntaun.

Now onto the set. This set is a really cool. It includes 2 Snowtroopers, 2 Rebel Hoth Troopers and Han Solo in Hoth Gear, a little sort of trench with turret, a cannon for the Snowtroopers an finally, the FIRST EVER LEGO TAUNTAUN! YAY!

Personally, I can't believe it took so long for Lego to make a Lego Tauntaun. But, they did at last, so its all good. The Tauntaun is my second favourite part of the set. It has twistable arms, horns, a saddle for a minifig, and a sort of rope thing for steering. Very nice.

Now, onto my favourite part of the set: the turret.
In my opinion, this turret is WAY better than the one in the 2007(?) Hoth Base. This ones flick missile are actually decent and it is smaller. AND it fits onto something. I modified it slightly so its more secure.

Overall this is a COMPLETELY AWESOME SET THAT EVERYONE MUST BUY!
