LEGO Star Wars Battle of Hoth (75014) Set Revealed

November 27, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Star Wars Battle of Hoth (75014) Box Art

There are now images of the new LEGO Star Wars Battle of Hoth (75014) set that is set to be released in 2013. Russian site Exoforce.ru has posted images as well as the description of the set. I’ve translated the description using Google Translate below. My initial impressions of the set is that it’s a very nice looking one. Although the display shows seven minifigures, the box art shows five including Luke Skywalker, General Rieekan, two Hoth Rebel Trooper, and a Snowtrooper. We’re not sure which is correct as of this time. You also get a snowspeeder, a speederbike, a probe droid, a communications tower, a turret gun, and a awesome-looking Tauntaun mount. Pricing and the number of pieces are also unknown at this time. Now all we need is an updated AT-AT to complete this scene.

Go with Luke Skywalker on the ice-covered planet of Hoth in his snow-speeder! Beware tranches command center with General Rieekan Imperial pilots and catch speeders snow attacking Defense Forces rebels. Shoot from the turret guns! Help the rebels defeat the forces of the Galactic Empire in the Battle for the planet Hoth from the movie “Star Wars: Episode V. The Empire Strikes Back “! The set includes five minifigures with various weapons and accessories: Luke Skywalker in clothing for snow speeder, General Rieekan, a rebel-infantryman from the planet Hoth and 2 snowspeeder pilots.

Stop the attack by the forces of the Empire Luke Skywalker and his snow speeder!

My “Brick” Friday Experience

November 23, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I arrived at the Fashion Valley LEGO Store in San Diego about 30 minutes before the “Brick” Friday midnight opening. The line wasn’t as long as I thought unlike the nearby stores that had lines of 50+ people waiting for their openings. While waiting, I had a nice, friendly chat with a few people about different LEGO sets and the state of LEGO at this point in time.

As the doors opened, there wasn’t a mad rush but I did see a lot of people grabbing the LEGO Star Wars 2012 Advent Calendar (9509), which was 50% off, as well as the Winter Village Cottage (10229). I only had two items left on my list so far to purchase, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Quinjet Aerial Battle (6869) and the LEGO Star Wars Palpatine’s Arrest (9526).

As the I checked out, the Quinjet was 10% off and I was given a chance to choose a scratch-off card for a discount on an item. I picked out a 10% card so that went towards Palpatine’s Arrest. As part of the promotion, I received the LEGO Christmas Holiday Set (3300014) for free. There was also a promotion for a Holiday Pick-A-Brick box but the cashier almost forgot about it and I had to ask for it.

Later in the morning, I was browsing on Amazon to see what was on sale on Black Friday. I found some books that had massive discounts and I’ve been wanting to get them. I purchased The LEGO Book, the LEGO … Continue

LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pong Krell and Trooper Minifigures

November 15, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Over on Rebelscum, a user by the name of rgeezzy has gotten their hands on what could the Pong Krell minifigure from the LEGO Star Wars Z-95 Headhunter (75004) set or it could be just a custom minifigure to trick people. We cannot verify that it’s the real thing since we can’t see clearly of the boxart of the set to compare them. Judge for yourself. The user has also posted an image of some of the new Clone Troopers as well as a Sith Trooper.

**Via Hoth Bricks

Update: There’s also another image of Pong Krell that has popped up on Eurobricks posted by CM4S.

Update 2: David, aka legoboy12345678, has gotten in contact with an associate and will be getting one by the end of week and will be showcasing it on his YouTube channel.

Update 3: lego*dudes is now selling the Pong Krell minifigure on their eBay store and lists more than 10 are available. Still not sure how the seller is getting them.
