Not sure if this has been hypothesized already but it wouldn't surprise me if once this is released we started getting a few more smaller Hoth sets (similar to Hoth Attack size) every 6 months to tack onto this.   A medical bay here, a snow-trooper division there...sets specifically designed to complement this.
(Although seeing as we didn't get a single Endor/Ewok add-on set bar the Shuttle Tydirium this is actually a bit far fetched).

Granted if this did happen and you collected them all its going to be a costly en-devour but could end up looking pretty awesome.  If TLG came out and said they had some kind of plan like this I might actually start to get excited about this one.

I've had some time to think about this set, and I'm leaning toward putting my money elsewhere. I'm talking about my personal collection here, not investment (although...)

I definitely want this set as I have never bought the smaller Hoth sets released previously, but given the reaction the unveiling has generated I would not be surprised if we see it discounted at some point.

According to the calendar you posted it's only April 30 to May 4. From May 1 to May 31 you earn double VIP for specific sets (eg. Battle on Takodana).

Slighty off topic but isn't that the same figure that is in the first order battle pack?

I think the torso is printed slightly differently.

Got to laugh at LEGO offering double VIP's on the newer TFA sets, maybe they've realised how disappointing and overpriced they are, which bring us neatly back on topic lol

I remember double VIP on several Jurassic world sets soon after release.

As much as this set has been derided, and rightfully so, I could see myself paying $200 for this for my personal collection because I have sold off every past Hoth set I've owned (sans the recent AT-AT and Snowspeeder) because they performed very well after retirement.  With so much reuse the price doesn't fit.  Perhaps B&N will be allowed to sell this for 25% off down the line or maybe it will show up at Target for 50% off.

I will wait for 50% off (and double VIP points) on May 4th 2018

You have high expectations for it to last to 2018.

Why not? If the herd does not stockpile it, it will last till 2019.  If the herd does stockpile it, LEGO is just going to produce more :devil:

This set must be really awful if we're only worried about it being stockpiled by the horde's red-headed stepchild -- the herd.
