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.
