Description

The opening act of The Empire Strikes Back

The Rebel Alliance has hidden its Echo Base on the ice planet Hoth, but an Imperial probe droid gives the location away. Walkers advance across the snowfields while snowspeeders and ground troops hold the line long enough for the Rebels to escape. It is one of the most recognisable battles in the saga, and LEGO® has returned to it again and again over the years. Choosing Hoth for an anniversary set was a natural nod to that history.

A 20th anniversary piece

The theme started in 1999, so 2019 was its twentieth year, and this set carries the celebration in its name. That gives it a place in many collections alongside older Hoth models, as a marker of how far the line has come. At 195 pieces it is a modest build that fits comfortably into an evening. There are no minifigures included, so the focus is entirely on the model itself, which suits a shelf or desk display well.

A wintry palette

White dominates, supported by light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and black. It is exactly what you would expect from Hoth: snow, machinery and shadow. The set uses 77 unique elements, a reasonable spread that keeps the build interesting without being fiddly. If you like building winter scenes, the white parts in particular are worth keeping together, since large snowy areas need more of them than most collections hold. The parts list on this page breaks the colours down piece by piece.

Taking it further

Small sets like this one are a good starting point for a bigger winter scene. The white and grey elements combine easily with other Hoth builds, and the black parts help with shadows, trenches and technical details. When you are ready to rebuild, the What can I build? feature on this page matches your parts against other sets and shows which ones you are closest to completing. The parts list below it also helps if you are checking a second-hand copy and want to know exactly which of the 195 pieces are missing.
