This set is great, I only hope that more sets like this and the Cloud city set come out soon. It's easy to put togeter, and looks great with the rest of the Star Wars line of Legos!

This item is available for $49.95 directly from LEGO. Can you say price gouging?! Buyer beware!

the Hoth rebel base is good,but the rebel craft is weak around the wings. Other than that i rate it a 5 star toy!

This set was extremely hard to find to buy. Lego always pushes the imagination. My son will sit for hours and create. The star wars line is very cool. The only thing I would have improved with this set is the durability of the set after it is built. The pieces seperate very easily, sometimes falling apart in the middle of play. Other than dealing with tears of frustration when the toy fell apartLego Star Wars Hoth Rebel Base 7666, this set is cool.

My son is a 9 yr old Star Wars snob. He assures me that this is one of the best Star Wars Lego sets he has gotten.

WOW!This set has hard to find mini-figers. I like the snowspeeder the turret and the probe droid.Why did you put k-po droid instead of c-3po? Good job lego!

While not the most complex to build, not the largest or even most exciting Star Wars Lego set, this was an awesome addition to have in the collection.

I bought this for my 12 year old son, and for the first time he couldn't build the entire set in one day, he loved the intricacy and several very cool figures and characters. Great for Star Wars and Lego fans.

As a seller who does NOT gouge our customers I feel it important to explain why these sets become SO......... expensive. LEGO themselves LIMIT the production AND the distribution of these sets, especially to small retailers. They also give a LIMITED run and usually stores like toys r us will get these first. They sell at a low price to move them, but once the shipment is sold, thats it. Smaller sellers pay up to 30 % MORE for each set so they can make them available for their customers. Add to that the fees to sell and shipping costs. LEGO sets hold value and their value increases VERY quickly which is why you will see prices rise. YES some do greatly overprice and others just enough to cover their costs to obtain the sets for the customer. Bottom line, This is a fun, large set with great mini figures. It will hold its value and be loved for years to come. You can also ADD smaller sets to it to build on the HOTH theme. Shop around and buy from a trusted seller.Enjoy this great set :)

Note: This isn't as much a product review as it is a public service announcement on price/availability of this set.

I agree with the person below, everyone should know that shop.lego.com recently added this set the the american product list direct from their lego site, so you no longer have to store hunt, or pay overpriced online prices to find it. It is going for [...] there (plus shipping and tax of course). This particular set contains alot of quality figures including a couple that are exclusive to this set, and it also contains the updated version of the rebel snow speeder seen in The Empire Strikes Back. The "echo" base elements themselves aren't spectacular, but will be fun for any younger lego enthusiest to play with. For anyone out there following the 2009 lego releases... I believe this was the set mentioned for the American "Lego Hoth" set release, even though technically it was released abit earlier in stores. The price and peice count matches. It just seems they wanted to release it storewide first, likely in an attempt to get store Christmas sales up. That also helps explain why stores like Toys R Us was selling it for [...] dollars... and now lego.com is selling it for [...]. Now that that's over, hopefully all the "LEGO scalpers" out there will drop their prices out there some since people can get it at the price they SHOULD be able to have it at via lego.com. I'm all for making money on collectables, but c'mon, twice the value for a set thats still in production? Gotta look out for my lego/star wars fans alittle better than that!
