75014 - Battle of Hoth

[glucapg]

75014...what do you think?

Only one year on the shelves...7 minifigs...do you think will be quickly a winner?

Depending on what price you got it for, this could do pretty well.  It has that kind of "glorified battle pack" feel to it, which I believe is a good thing.  The Snowtroopers are very cool, and the inclusion of the Tauntaun certainly can't hurt anything.

I like the set but just cant see it performing well compared to retail price ....

 

my thoughts.

I've the opportunity to get it at 40

I think the price point was a little high, but the short run coupled with Hoth's popularity should give this set a boost.  Folks around these here forums weren't all that big on the Hoth Echo Base, either, and it is doing just fine since selling out at S&****.  I think it might do really well paired with 7879, in fact.

 

Wasn't it also a TRU exclusive?  (I'm pretty sure it was in Can.)  I'd probably buy at a discount at this point.

Indeed it was. Anyways I myself don't really think it's going to do well. We already got a ton of hoth sets a few years back, and Lego decided to throw this one at as at us once the rest of them were gone. Most of it is made up of things we have already seen in the past (The Snowspeeder and the Speeder Bike for example) and while the Snowtroopers in this set are cool, the rest of the figures are boring. And it doesn't matter that we get a redesigned Rebel Luke, we already get a new Rebel Pilot outfit every wave.
