Description

A Hoth battle icon

The Snowspeeder is inseparable from the Battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back, where Rebel pilots use these nimble craft to slow down the Empire's AT-AT walkers. This set reproduces the vehicle's distinctive cockpit, side fins and rear stabilisers using 116 distinct part shapes, a notably high variety for a vehicle of this size. Much of that detail shows up in the cockpit panelling and the pivoting laser cannons mounted at the front.

Built for an ice planet

White and light grey dominate the model, echoing Hoth's snow-covered surface, while darker grey and black handle mechanical detail such as engines and weapons. This restrained palette is typical of Hoth-themed Star Wars sets and makes the Snowspeeder instantly recognisable next to other vehicles in a collection. The full build comes to 279 pieces, split between a compact but detailed vehicle and its supporting accessories. Collectors displaying several Hoth scenes side by side will notice how consistently that palette carries across different sets from the same era.

Three figures, one scene

Three minifigures let you stage a small scene from the battle straight away, rather than seating a lone pilot in the cockpit. Star Wars sets from this period typically include several characters from the same film scene, giving collectors more than one figure to work with. For fans of the original trilogy, that's an added draw, since the figures pair naturally with other Hoth-themed sets to build out a larger diorama.

Checking the parts list

Anyone wanting a closer look at the 116 shapes in this set can find the full parts list on this page, including colour and quantity for each one. That's especially useful when hunting for the white and light-grey panel pieces that recur across several Hoth-era Star Wars sets. With an older release like this one from 2014, it's also worth checking which shapes may no longer be in current production.
