TLG Design meeting Lead Designer - Guys, we’ve blown the design budget on the TLJ and new Falcon sets. What do we do? Designer 1 - Release another Snowspeeder. Designer 2 - We’ve done Luke’s Snowspeeder, Micro Snowspeeder, Insult on Hoth Snowspeeder, UCS Snowspeeder in the last 2 years! Designer 3 - Paint it yellow and call it a sandspeeder...

This has got to be from Rebels? Typical of them to mine the EU. Reminds me of the proto B-wing in the Quarrie episode. -

The red helmet will allow us to make John Branon though. Ticking off Red Squadron one by one -

It looks like Nima outpost is in the background on the Sandspeeder set, is it confirmed this is EU (in which case lazy Lego) or is it possibly from TLJ? -
Also a Stormtrooper sergeant with white pauldron.

My Piett has 6 red and 6 blue pips (2 code cylinders) whereas my Imperial officer from the star Destroyer has 3 red and 3 blue with 1 code cylinder. This is a new torso (unless perhaps it's the one from the new Death Star?)
-
Is that a Mon Cal with the white headgear in the Freemaker set? Nice fig if so.
-
Yeah I did a double take at that too. Definitely a new set with Lando and not just the existing a wing?
-
I'm glad someone else else thought that, dark blue is more screen accurate than black for the uniformed guys.

From memory last years advent gave us a Snow Chewie, U-3PO, plus (slightly) new variants of the Bespin guard and Hoth trooper. We've had figures as lazy as this BB8 before (R2 with antlers and Santa Clone) but each time they have been secondary to the main figure (Santa 3PO and Santa Vader respectively). With BB8 making the front cover I have no doubt he will be the main event for this calendar, and the box set looks pretty final and I doubt it's a prelim.

I'm pretty sure this is a rogue one fig

I make out: Unkar thug figure Bb8 figure with Santa hat and ski At-Dp Falcon Krennic shuttle FO stormie FO snowie FO lander A sleigh Luggabeast Resistance general? Random canon Imperial/resistance officer

Another book out in Feb with a free Snowtrooper commander (appears to be the same one supplied with the AT-AT Yep, AFOL dream set territory right there

The Bren Derlin head was used in the Resistance BP too (before the new Echo Base!)

I had this set when I was little and loved how it was modular and attached to my other castle sets. The UCS Hoth should have been exactly this. A bit of base wall and feature (trench, command centre with Toryn and K3PO, wampa cave with wampa and Luke, speeder bay with Janson and Wedge, front door with Han and snowy Chewie etc) for £20-50 that you could add multiples to and build your own base. Would have sold bucket loads.
