“I really really enjoy this set very much, even though the piece count is low. This set, was created for a sole purpose of having Tauntaun. This is the first important reason to get this set, and of course with the excellent line up of minifigures such as the Hoth Rebel... More troopers and Imperial Snowtroopers, these made it even more attractive to get them. The turrents and the snow trench can be nice decorative placements for Hoth dioramas. If the price is ever affordable or being marked for sales, just simply grab it without thinking twice.”

“The best part of this scene is the cannon that swivels on the turret and the Tauntaun. Let's face it-Tauntauns do not grow on trees in the Lego world and are exclusive to this set. The fact that it also comes with two Snowtroopers, the Han Solo and two Rebels means 5... More minifigs and said Tauntan for $40+ the other portions of the scene. A pretty good value.”
