Poor set for the BIG price tag Looks like what you would get from the “deluxe” Star Wars Advent calendar.
A little too bitty for my tastes. The bits look good, but it’s not cohesive enough.
Although, I have to feel sorry for the two (two?!) snowtroopers who have clearly been sent on a suicide mission…
Personally i’m really disappointed. I’m sick of the constant LEGO Hoth sets from the last few years and now here they’re all in one $250 box!
It would’ve been super cool to just get a super detailed AT-AT and maybe an in-scale shield generator with a bunch of figs. That would have been UCS worthy! But this looks like a standard $90 set compared to the Ewok Village last year :/
