jonnyhanukkah Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 oooooh how long before it gets the UCS Tie Fighter treatment??? 3 Quote
gregpj Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 My kids saw it in the little LEGO mailer and they like it too... then again, they always want me to buy them that garbage from the toy vending machines so I take their opinion on quality with a grain of salt. _Maybe_ if it goes on a great sale it would be worth picking up. 7 Quote

NZ-EUG Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 I'm in two minds about this set, is it a playset posing as a UCS set? i.e ewok village. The minifig collector in me is looking forward to the exclusives, i.e Toryn Farr But at $499.00 that's a huge price point! I can't justify the purchase. Will wait till it's discounted or just get the minigfigs indiviually of ebay in due course. Quote
jonnyhanukkah Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 I have an embarrassing confession to make... I found it in a store for $200 and ended up buying it... I never got any of the previous Hoth sets so this was my only way of getting the Snowspeeder/Wampa/Tauntauns... I feel like such a disappointment... 6 Quote
Fenix_2k1 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 If you see it as a Hoth "Super Pack" it's ok for $200 it's just not what I'd consider a UCS set. I think EV deserves UCS status more. At least that's an integrated build rather than a bunch of unconnected little builds. 2 Quote
scrappyJedi Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 No judgement from me- I'd pick it up for $200 if I found it at that price, as well. I'm in the same boat- no real Hoth sets to speak of in my collection, so for me it would be the "get all the sets I missed" purchase. 1 Quote

We'd get a lot of mileage out of the new Death Star I'm sure 1 Quote

We'd get a lot of mileage out of the new Death Star I'm sure I will be buying the cheapest Death Star I can find (new or old) and waiting for a cheap AoH for myself as well. I have no Tauntauns or Wampas in my collection...yet. Sure it sucks if you own all the old sets. I don't. Quote

It's just not a UCS, that's all. If it shows up in my local TRU I'll defintely do some coupon magic to get the price down. They have the UCS Tie right now but at an inflated price. Quote
Lordoflego Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 For those who said couple days ago that would buy this set for $200- now you can, from Niko at sunnykart.com with sunny20 code. Quote
terrymc4677 Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) I spotted one in the wild yesterday at my local TRU. I went to use up some soon to be expired rewards coupons and saw it on the top shelf all by itself. No price tag, and I didn't scan it because I have no intention of buying this set ,EVER. It had some spider wrap on it and one seal looked a little loose. I'm assuming it was an online return. If anyone's interested it's probably still there. West Mason St. store in Green Bay. I ended up leaving with another Deep Sea Operations base at 42% off. Edited September 2, 2016 by terrymc4677 1 Quote

Armor Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) I will probably not buy any AOH out of spite. Edited September 4, 2016 by Armor Quote
thoroakenfelder Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 This LEGO they've created claims that it's the next UCS set. Well, let me tell you something, I know UCS sets. They're favorites of mine, and let me tell you Assault on Hoth, you sir are no UCS set. 3 Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Amazon price matched Walmart's price Quote
