INTRODUCTION

The Rebels establish Echo Base on the cold and inhospitable planet of Hoth. When an Imperial Probe Droids locates the Rebel Base, Darth Vader's Death Squadron arrives with AT-AT Walkers, Snowtroopers and Scout Troopers, who pour over the icy landscape to attach the valiant Rebels. As large weapons blast the base, Scout Troopers provide mobile reinforcements for the invading Imperial Forces.

These one-man Imperial vehicles are capable of amazing speed and superb maneuverability in the capable control of Imperial Scout Troopers. Scout Troopers wear special armor designed for the clod climates. They patrol the area of Speeder Bikes to keep track of the Rebel's movements.

This battlepack comes with X2 Imperial Hoth Speeder Bikes and X2 Scout Troopers with blasters. Though never seen in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" this set of Hoth Imperial Speeder Bikes is a neat idea. If you think about it, one could probably see these vehicles swoop past Rebel Snowspeeders at the Battle of Hoth. Heck it could always be added in the Ultimate George Lucas's Directors Cut of the Star Wars trilogy.

The Battle Pack includes the following items:

  • 2 Hoth Speeder Bikes
  • 2 Scout Troopers with Blasters
