The only reason I'd be interested in the Clone Turbo Tank is AAAAAYYYYYLAAAA SEEEECCCURRRRAAAA!!!! Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. She seriously looks good as a minifig, and Lord knows how long people have wanted one. The Wampa looks too cartoonish for me, I was expecting something more like the Taun Taun. I own a snowspeeder already, and I'm planning to make an MOC of the cave-with the Orient Expedition Yeti standing in as a Wampa.

Well, I wasn't going to be able to afford the CTT anyway (or I would have bought the last one), so I guess I should be glad that this looks lousy to me. Mainly the wheels. Those highly visible, long, spindly axles wreck the sets appearance IMHO.

Wampa cave, well I was really excited when all I knew about the set was the name. Now, not so much. True, for purely selfish reasons I would rather not have had yet another snowspeeder in there hiking the price (though I realize it is probably a major selling point for those not fortunate enough to have gotten one of the previous models), but even setting that aside, I'm disappointed in the rather minimal cave, and the distorted, goofy-looking Wampa. (At least that's my opinion. I look at that and think of the Galactic Heroes line.)

lol The Wampa with the chicken leg did they get that idea from the Star Wars lego game? I could see that going on in the game, but I have never played it before.

For the Hoth Wampa Cave, they should have put in a Tauntaun and maybe an Imperial Probe Droid instead of yet another Snowspeeder. I'll probably still buy the cave, but I'll obviously wait for a sale.

It is rather surprising that they did not include a tauntaun in the upcoming Wampa Cave set. Surely they went through a lot of trouble and expense to put together that new mold and printing, it seems it would be worth their while to include it in at least one or two more sets.

I'm really looking forward to the Turbo Tank just for the mini-figs. This latest version doesn't look much better than its predecessors.

I plan on getting the wampa cave so I can get another snowspeeder(need to rebuild my first one as well) the only thing I dont really like about this snowspeeder is that its like the one from the Hoth Base set released a few years ago, and uses the older guns from earlin in star wars production instead of what they used on the second release snowspeeder. As for the CTT, if I get it, I'll cannibalize my old one to make it a little better, and to add the periscope that this one seems to be missing.
