Box

The background of the box sure looks good. Anyway, the front show us the whole model with the speederbike and platform while the side show us the actual minifig scale. At the back of the box are the picture of two battle pack and a small picture of all the minifigs.

Content

As expected from the battle pack, we get 2 packs of bricks and an instruction booklet. Also there is one piece that caught my attention, is it a new piece? Below are the pictures:

Accessories

Well the box art is pretty accurate with the number of blaster which is three blasters, two short and one long. Well, only the officer do not have any gun I suppose.

Minifigs

We get a pretty nice minifigs from this battle pack. We get new AT-AT pilot headgear, maybe torso too (since I didn't own any one before) and also new Imperial Officer Torso. Below are the pictures of all the minifigs:

While here's the picture of the AT-AT Pilot and below are the pilot headgear, which the LEGO Group is trying to give as much detail as possible:

And as we all know under the helmet of Snow Trooper and AT-AT Pilot is black head stud.

Speederbike

Here's the speederbike for the Snow Trooper which I still think is pretty cool although the front are a little different. By the way, LEGO do edit some pieces, which is the 1x1 stud with hole. Below are the pictures of speederbike:

Command Platform

Here's the command platform which have playable flick-fire missile and rotatable seat together with a piece of printed monitor screen. Below are the pictures:

And here's the functions of the platform:

The seat is rotatable whereby you can flick it around anywhere you like and at the same time the missile can either shoot horizontally or shoot high to the top.

Extra pieces

Here's the pieces left after we done assembling the set with the minifigs.

Completed Model

I pretty much like this set, maybe because of the minifigs and speederbike and also the printed brick. Again, this set looks cool and a very good set to build your army. Well, who doesn't like the minifigs? =P

I guess is a must have again for this set, even for MOCer.

Playability: 6/10 There is not much to play about from this set.
Design : 8/10 Surprisingly, the speederbike still looks good.
Price : 4/10 The price here is very expensive.
Overall: 6/10 Nice minifig and nice design, but pricey.

Box

I recall all of us are very excited when we saw a blurry pictures of the box art from the interview video last year and we keep on guessing what's in the set. Now we get to see the box art clearly and the front show us the whole model while the side show us the actual minifig scale. At the back of the box are the picture of two battle pack and a small picture of the minifigs.

Content

As expected from battle pack, we get 2 packs of bricks and an instruction booklet.

Accessories

To my surprise, this set include four blasters, three short and one long. They all have a blaster which is pretty much sufficient.

Minifigs

As you can see from the box art, there are four minifigs included and one of them is the pilot Zev Senesca, Hoth Officer and two (twins) Hoth Rebel Trooper. Below are the headgear:

While here the whole set of minifigs (front and back view) and the look of the rebel trooper when the visor is down.

Ice Cutter

Here's the ice cutter, which I think is far more slower than a speederbike. Again, the building process of battle pack is always not so exciting and is done very quickly. Below are the pictures:

As you can see on the left side at the back, there are no stud attach on it. That place is to hold a blaster, perhaps the blaster of the pilot.

There are a few functions in the ice cutter, which is adjustable and rotatable turret on the top of it. Below are the pictures:

While here the LEGO Group favorite function, the flick-fire missile:

I have no idea what is the use of this hole in front of the ice cutter. It is removable and it is not attach to the ice cutter.

Extra pieces

Here's the pieces left after we done assembling the ice cutter and the minifigs.

Completed Model

This is all from the whole set. It actually looks not bad although I prefer Snowtrooper Battle Pack more.

The parts from this set is quite interesting and kind of nice. Maybe MOCer should get a few copy of this set.

Playability: 8/10 There is much to play about from this set (flick-fire, rotatable and adjustable turret).
Design : 6/10 The design is quite accurate, and is a little ugly.
Price : 4/10 The price here is very expensive.
Overall: 6/10 Nice minifig and nice playbility, but pricey.
