Would love to see what those goggles look like paired with other helmets.

Also, AT-ST looks great, but it’s a shame that the legs are immobile. Oh well…I guess that’s where the inevitable modifications figure in.

The Endor set looks more like a $70 set. Aside from that however, those torsos and goggles sure will come in handy.

Thanks RichardAM and my apologies to the LEGO co. I have only been checking for the little “new” flag to come up on the online store – not actually going into the Indy section. My bad.

Very excited now. Off to place an order!

Gosh, I would have died for these sets a few years back when I was a full-blown SW LEGO collector. Just the sort of thing we were all clamoring for! They are both fine sets to be sure. However, Echo Base sort of feels like a battle back with a $15 Tauntaun. But with all the great figs in these two sets, it’s hard to complain.

The UK might well have these, and the Games from today, but still no sign of the new Indy sets.

It’s starting to make me a little cross. Don’t TLC appreciate I have a Venice Library WIP to get finished. They have no consideration for my feelings at all, do they?

I thought they were out ages ago- the UK’s had them for at least a week now.

Actually I believe these were made available at the same time as your last post, or at least within an hour or so. Either way they’re two great sets, but sadly fall a bit to the wayside given the other great sets made available in this rush! Endor is a bit on the pricey side, while Hoth really offers little beyond the Tauntaun (and a couple of headgear pieces). The real win is the Trade Federation shuttle with those two new great figs, and that Trade Federation tank droid with the new jetpack parts.
