I'm preparing for disappointment on this one. I'd love to be surprised and see this set have some display qualities but all signs point to a very expensive bundling of play sets.

i'm also disappointed but for diff reasons.  even if it turns out to be the best Hoth set ever, it's still one of many hoth sets.  i'm tired of hoth sets.   hey lego, give us something new.

If it only has a snowspeeder there should be a lot of pieces to put towards the base.  I would be cool if it was on display at the NY toy fair this weekend. Only 2 1/2 months away, we should see pictures soon.

Unimaginative Crappy [Lego Hoth] Set

OR - Unimaginative Costly [Lego Hoth] Set

Tada, it is now a UCS.

how can you say that?  lately, lego has done a fine job with UCS sets.  now if you typed "boo, another snowy hoth set" i would agree 100% :)

i'm sure it will look great like the ewok village

I immediately edited my post to clarify that I am not judging the set but I am explaining the acronym.

How is there an assault on the base without an AT-AT (or at least one available for sale in the current set line-up)?!  It should be called Wednesday at Hoth Base. 

According to the description this is some kind of a starter set as a base for MOC-s. Incomplete on purpose. You have to buy and build the rest yourself. I don't think it will be good anyway. Just sounds too disconnected.

What fools would know this set is in the pipeline and then discontinue the most obvious and easiest $130 add-on set?!  This had to be one of the dumbest moves ever done by them.

I think they wanted to release this last year, but bumped into some sort of issues with it and had to delay it. Rumors began in January about a fall release. Still strange, because they could have saved the AT-AT.

i don't understand it either unless a UCS AT-AT is in the design phase or the prev. AT-At was a bad seller.  if it was a bad selling set then maybe lego delayed this hoth set to make changes (make it more appealing)?

Maybe it was a bad seller as a stand alone set(I doubt it but possible).  But I know a way to improve its sales either way - release a base for it to attack!
