Very cute, new Star Wars Lego set. Easy to put together for your 6 year old with a nice amount of mini-figures.

PRO's-5 nice and very cool mini-figures (2 Hoth Troopers, 2 Snowtroopers, Hoth Han Solo) plus a great looking Taun Taun figure (so I guess you could say 6 figures). Cool looking Snowtrooper weapon and a rotating gun turret with a hidden door and top hatch to hold a figure. Also neat is behind the 'snow' wall the two Hoth Troopers stand on a tilting platform. When you push down on the center section you can snap the figures into the air simulating an expolsion.

CON's- The turret at times comes off too easily from the base but it's still very playable.

I recommend it for younger Star Wars Lego fans and for fans looking for some neat figures.

I LOVE this Lego toy. Although it is outstandingly fun, has the FIRST EVER Lego Tauntaun, and is my most enjoyable Lego set, It is VERY, VERY breakable. Good stuff: Tauntaun is almost as fun as the rest of the set, can blast shot Lego men into the air with the press of a Lego piece, and can sometimes shoot bullets up to 2 feet.(When I tried) Bad stuff: Tauntaun is hard to put together, big-time breakable, and there is 3 pieces on the bad guy machine gun that are just SO hard to put on and SO hard to keep on. Buuuut, overall, I would recommend it a ToPs Lego toy!!!!!

I needed input from my son who's the real expert: "It's based on a Hoth battle with Han Solo and a brand new, Lego creature--a Tauntaun! (this is exciting news) This has a special part where the figure can go flying when you push down on what they're standing on."

The stars are from our young user-expert, but as a parent, I would rate the educational value as a 4. The number of hours he plays with the Star Wars Lego set is pretty amazing (TV or video games get ignored). He uses a lot of imagination and takes mini movies of his playtime with creations.
