I know there is another review of this by Hatcher, and it is well done as usual. Unfortunately I didn't find that until after I told my daughter that this set didn't have a TnB review so she decided we should do one. So here goes, my first review with comments by The Builder.
From the S@H description:
Help the Rebels defend their base on Hoth!
Build up your Rebel forces and celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back! When the Empire attacks the hidden Rebel base on the ice planet Hoth, brave Rebel troopers and pilots fight back with their combat speeder with flick-firing missiles. Includes 3 Rebel troopers in cold-weather gear and Rebel pilot Zev Senesca.
Zev Senesca, now that is fun to say. I'm sure he is really in The Empire Strikes back, but I don't remember him. I remember "We used to bullseye Womp Rats in my T-16" and Wedge from the original triology but not Zev. Oh well. on the the pictures! This is the box and all of the pieces still in the plastic. First job is to sort them by color.
Now, on to the Mini-figures! Sorry about the marks on the table, we do a lot of art projects here
Here is how they are supposed to look And how we built them
We made them almost the exact same!Here's the set halfway through building it. It was a bigger ship than I thought it would be! The ship, driver and box for a background The whole crew, ready for action :x They all are mad because they do not want to be in a battle right now. The 4 extra pieces You might have seen R2D2 in some of the pictures, here he was helping us guard the extra pieces!
Overall
Build was cool, says The Builder. I thought is was more than you would expect from a set bought for Minifigures. Plus the price was right at Target this week ;)
Thanks for reading, we had fun doing this and I hope to do more if The Builder so decides.
