Episode V covers The Empire Strikes Back, and the Battle of Hoth is one of the most built battles in LEGO Star Wars. The snowspeeder was in the first wave of 1999, and the AT-AT has had a new version every few years since 2003, including 10178 Motorised Walking AT-AT in 2007, which really walks. Echo Base, the wampa cave and the medical bay where Luke recovers have all had sets too.
2006 LEGO Sets
2006 was a year of creative resurgence, adding major themes while closing older ones. LEGO Batman debuted as the first full DC Comics collaboration, joined by Avatar: The Last Airbender, Exo-Force, and SpongeBob SquarePants. LEGO Mindstorms NXT modernized the robotics platform with sensors and wireless control, and Remote Control Trains replaced the 9V system. Vikings and Clikits ended, while standout collector sets such as the Technic Tow Truck (8285) and Boeing 787 Dreamliner (10177) strengthened LEGO’s appeal among adult fans.
