HawkLord Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Feels a lot like Echo Base from 2009. Unfortunately, since I have so much of the Hoth stuff from that time and later years, this is a pass. Quote
wesker Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I don't see myself buying this anytime soon. The Probe Droid looks to be the best one yet, but everything else included looks to be coming with the UCS Hoth set which makes this release seem redundant. Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Ehhh... Probe droid is the best one yet, and Hoth troopers are always good. Honestly though, the main draw of this set for me is that TIE windscreen in LBG. Quote
BigEl Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Would have been a great set, IF it actually would have featured a proper detailed minifig scale Probe Droid. I really liked the intimitadting look and sound from the real thing in the movie, but this lego version looks barely anything like it. Quote

I really liked the intimitadting look and sound from the real thing in the movie, but this lego version looks barely anything like it. Yeah... The probe droid in this set is the "best" in a long line of terrible probe droids. Honestly, the worst part is Lego's insistence that the probot has a ginormous antenna on top. Here are the best MOCs a quick Eurobricks search provided: One & Two. Can't wait to see this set putting up a vain defense against your AT-AT, Big El! Quote
BigEl Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Wow that second one from djs72 looks great. I mean, you instantly recognize it and it doesnt seem to have that much more parts than the one in this set.... Just why Lego, why cant you get it done proper Regarding the AT-AT... well we will see I actually would like to have a decent Hoth Rebel Base Set to go along with the custom AT-AT to creat some sort displayable scenery. My hopes are high for the UCS Hoth Echo Base, but I fear that it will be more of a heavily segmented playset than something for display Quote
Terrasher Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 That probe droid is abysmal. Best version for me was 75014's. The turret is not horrible, though. It's been a while since we've seen those, instead of the ones with the dish. Although, the top looks a bit big and chunky for the body (still a nice representation). I don't know how I feel about the tan and beige plates on the trench. They look a bit out of place but still make sense to be there (perhaps a more battle-damaged / trampled area?). Not great, not bad, still a good set for Hoth fans. Thank you for the review! Quote

Just by watching that video it seems like we'll just be getting a bigger version of the set in this thread . Why Lego? The Ewok village was a playset and it looked totally killer on display. But we still haven't gotten official pics of the UCS Hoth set, so ya never know. Quote
