Ah, Hoth. The frozen tundra that saw one of the most iconic battles in the Star Wars universe. And at the forefront of that battle were the towering AT-AT walkers, moving slowly but surely towards the scrappy band of rebels. But did you know that the Empire also deployed smaller, more manoeuvrable AT-STs on that icy battlefield? With their agile legs and powerful blasters, these machines posed a serious threat to anyone foolish enough to underestimate them. And now, with replicas available to collectors and enthusiasts alike, including the LEGO Star Wars Hoth AT-ST, you too can have your own piece of Hoth history. Whether you display it on your shelf or pit it against your rebel action figures, the Hoth AT-ST is the perfect addition to any Star Wars collection.
Set Details
Introducing LEGO® set 75322, the first-ever model of its kind for Star Wars fans. Perfect for recreating the high-tempo action in The Empire Strikes Back during the Battle of Hoth, this remarkable toy features an opening cockpit with a hatch and roof for minifigure access. Adding to the immersion, the AT-ST model also includes a wheel-operated rotating head, 2 spring-loaded shooters, and posable legs. It’s a great gift for discerning young kids of 9 or older, comprising 3 LEGO® Star Wars minifigures with weapons – Chewbacca, Hoth AT-ST Pilot, and Hoth Rebel Trooper – as well as an Imperial Probe Droid LEGO® minifigure.
