LEGO Luke has actually had fairly consistent hair color through out the years. They first started using dark tan for his hair in the Ewok Village, and used it for EP 6 Luke ever since. Recently, they started to always produce him with dark tan hair, no matter the film.
if it keeps going up like this i will just have to buy them from a knock off brand like lepin, i cant justify giving lego so much money for such a small set its crazy for the 40 euros this cost with lepin i could get the AT-M6 or Republic gunship at least these days lepins quality is on par with lego, but hopefully i wont need to as i hope lego will go back to realistic prices
Man I remember coming home from school one day and my my mom and dad got me the hoth echo Base and millennium falcon both from 2011 that was a great day.
Really love when you are able to show and compare the new designs of the minifigs to the older one, rather than just mentioning that its a new design. Great review as always!
I like this set for the most part. I think they should do a Vader set where you can get his Rogue One Bacta version in a small set instead of buying the castle.
Pretty cool set for the post-Wampa attack on Luke, he really did almost lost his life to that snow creature! I guess if the medical chamber was a bit bigger, it would have been better, but it still works as a smaller set.
I'm really liking these little playsets that encourage your own additions. The Jurassic Park set - which was better - was a shining example of this! Still one of my favourites. This is a little sparse, but it is built in a glacier. I'll be getting this one when it's on discount.
Not only is the EU price ridiculous, in my country it's not even being sold in ANY stores, so I couldn't even find it at a discount even if I tried. Another missed sale, LEGO!
Grizzly same! I can’t find this anywhere, and the LEGO store here has gone beyond ridiculous now after they got new owners, anakins starfighter is 60 dollars there compared to 40 elsewhere
If you still have the UCS Hoth echo base I would love to see how or if it’s possible to integrate this into that set, or just look at them side by side perhaps? Thanks for the great review as always Jang!
Can't see that set at any stores in UK. The price is extortionate just like the new x wing. Lego profits are down no wonder why. Still I can't help thinking this a awesome set. Love these lego dioramas.
Charley Dowd someone stole the minifigs from the bags and resealed them and returned it back to Walmart and I bought it this morning and returned it for a new one.
Lego Films0606 Well there is a hoth rebel trooper now available in the snowspeeder set but yes we need just more generic troops for all sides in various gear that they wear.
I think the Star Wars piece would probably work pretty good for a Jurassic Park the scientist area where you got the kids on the computer and you got the Raptor trying to go through the door at work pretty good because I seen in some of the other movies that they had the same kind of tanks that Luke's in
I really like this set so will pick up at some point. Though I’m still so far behind on Lego at the minute I have a huge backlog of sets I want to get.
Very nice set indeed and reasonably priced. Only thing that could have made it a must buy for me would be some more texturing as you say either with stickers or smaller pieces or some textured bricks etc, not a lot just maybe a handful to help break up the white wall at the back. I also feel it was remiss of lego not to include more tools etc for the droids to use or to put in storage. IMO I love it that the older models of the big medical droid came with the standard minifig 'toolkit' pack and while this version only has 4 arms to hold things, the drawers could have been employed to house the spares. If those two things were included this would have been a must buy but for now its just on my maybe list unfortunately.
I will probably get this to add to my Hoth display. I think I actually like the figs from 7879 a little better with the exception of 21B who does look a little nicer here.
UK pricing is just bad in general now, it isn't just with lego, for transformers which are my hobby for instance a deluxe figure is almost what a voyager costed several years ago. Price increases with more hollow spaces and less accessories too.
The old Luke has better face printing. The new one doesn’t show any scar but the old has much more detailed face. The new leia is better than old one on all basis. I just don’t like that old leia face.

Available in some places for £23 which is a lot more realistic.
I like this set and it is a reasonable way to get a Princess Leia without using Bricklink. Hopefully she will come in more new sets. I will try to get it on sale tho as it's $40 in Canada.
I think this set only exists due to public outrage from the UCS Assault on Hoth set. I wonder if you can connect this set to it directly? It's also very similar to the style of the Jurassic park Velociraptor chase set, in the way that it depicts multiple scenes and is still compact with walls.
Considering price to part this seems to be okay. Even without looking at the number of pieces but looking at the content in there, I was expecting this to be a $20 to $25 set. But this is still a nice construction of a scene that is often neglected in Lego Hoth bases, or the ones or twice it was made it was very small. there are two small additions I would have made to this set, one of them being stickers perhaps on the monitors or even on the back to tank to create a bubbling look, and the other one would be the inclusion of the new cast piece or something to show Luke in the process of being treated.
Look at the Euro price. This set should have been 30 € instead of 40 € when you look at exchange rates. We have always gotten the USD prices 1:1. Lego is a Danish company, so it makes no sense to rip off people that way.
I think the change in Leia's outfit to white is actually more screen accurate. I think a lot of older minifigure designs (and also people's perceptions of what the outfits actually were like) are based on the vintage Kenner figures we all had as kids. Sometimes reality and what we remember don't quite match up!
Hey jang! I wanted to know if you're the same jang from RC MANIA.com because if you are i've known about you since 2011. And i was so sad when you stopped posting on that channel and i wish to see more. And i just discoverd you had another channel. Have a good day!
Tremyss it always seems to be that way, they haven’t adjusted to inflation, quite honestly the price should be in between that of the UK and that of the US as that’s where the value of the Euro stands.
A set only adult collectors would buy. Doctor droid, Leia, and Luke in his undies imagine the play possibilities. (btw, the leg print in the newer Luke is so messy, not crisp at all like the original)
My opinion about the eurozone prices is that consumers are more patient and less inclined to buy at first price. Lego is countering that phenonemon by raising the price, trying to match the mean price sets are sold worldwide (even if we adjust for the currency). This should be controled... however. They are using these mark-ups just because they have the market power. Unnaceptable.
Sleaze the subjective idea of paying less than a full price and the inability to acess the same sets from other areas, i.e. US, drives consumers to buy, ultimately. Still, I believe they are trying to raise some the mean price that sets are sold because they may be hitting the threshold for the unit costs. Meaning than they prefer to sell less quantity for an higher price than lower prices and high quantity. The production costs at are stake here, for sure.

$30-£35 What the heck is up with LEGO’s pricing?It’s a £25 set.
A pretty solid and well thought out set. The highlight has to be the mechanism for accessing the bacta tank conveniently, most impressive. The opposite corner is not particularly exciting and looks like something you see in a dental practice, and Luke's eye bruising is way too colourful (eye shadow gone wrong?). Not sure another Hoth set was needed quite so soon after AoH 75098, but I know people were disappointed that this area and Leia weren't included. From a UK perspective the pricing is once again way off the mark
Hey Jang this comment doesn’t have anything to do with this video but I was wondering if u could make a video showing how to put the booster on Poe’s X-wing and with no rubber bands
Why is this set £35 in the UK when in the US it's $30? $30 is equivalent to £23.13, so this should be a £25 set not £35! I hope this was a pricing error or something, or else I'm definitely not getting this set.
Waluigi Forever not a price error I don’t think. With everything going on within the EU the pound has dropped in value. I also checked other places like Argos but it’s £40 there so I ordered it from the Lego shop for the Christmas promo.
This reminds me of that Jurassic Park set. A cool set. But I do think this needs to be 30$ because the yoda's hut set should've been 20$ but it's 30$. This set is bigger than that set.
I love lego but I absolutely hate them for making the sets more expensive in Europe. The Euro is worth more than the dollar yet we pay 10 more of them Edit: i researched it and It’s 15 dollars more
so i found a set on brickset a aquaraiders set Aquabase invasion set 7775-1 all reviews are 5 stars i feel like u have pieces to build it u should do a review on it
