This one was available for around $50, last Christmas.
This Ultimate Battle Pack features 1 AT-ST walker, 1 rebel base turret with launching missile and 8 figures.
On the Empire side, You have got 3 snowtroopers: Two are super arty new Saga Legends style snowies with removable helmets, backpacks, blasters and Non-removable cloth kamas. The third is the sculpt of the ESB gold card snowie with removable back pack, blaster, non-removable helmet, and not much articulation at all. Now why not make all of the snow troopers in this pack the nice newer sculpt? Also, there is the AT-ST driver which looks nice enough but whose articulation leaves something to be desired. The elbow joints are the angled twist type that we all hate, his ankles have no articulation at all. At least he has a ball post head. his helmet is different from Veer's in appearance although it could have been the same sculpt. he comes with a blaster. "it is important to note that the new Hasbro AT-ST coming out this fall has a repaint of this same figure for it's one driver" A super arty driver for this would have been nicer. The included AT-ST, is the same tooling that we have seen ever since ROTJ and shows one of the better paintjobs for this sculpt that I have seen. I wonder what this atst's feet would look like on the new upcoming release of the atst?
On the Rebel side, You have two rebel troopers. One is semi arty with the same angled twist elbow joints that I just complained about but a nice sculpt overall. He comes with a blaster. Now the next rebel trooper is just terrible with only half the points of articulation that we are now used to and a twistie head versus a ball mounted one. He does have a removable backpack and a nice loooking rifle. Also, there is a nice super arty re release of Han Solo with a removable hood piece, a large looking set of electro binoculars, a hand blaster, and the complexion of an albino. Now the Luke Skywalker x-wing pilot, leaves something to be desired also as while the face sculpt is better than others and the head is ball mounted, there is no elbow, waist, or ankle articulation whatsoever. He comes with a lightsaber, and a removable helmet. The one saving grace of this set,"besides the two snowtroopers", Is this awsome tooling for the Hoth turret the likes of which you will find nowhere else but in this set. Size and shape looks screen accurate, there is an opening top hatch with a little floor within for a gunner to stand, there is a side access door with no latching mechanism, and the barrel has a missle launcher built into is that fires a gunship type missile.
Some bad points and some good points here but overall, it's a good set and by today's standard of prices, is probably a good value. These go for high on the bay and are getting rare.
