LEGO Star Wars set 7879, Hoth Echo Base, depicts a section of the Rebel base on Hoth from the Star Wars licence. Released in 2011, it contains 773 pieces and belongs to the Star Wars root theme.
Hoth Echo Base focuses on a Rebel location associated with the Hoth sequences in Star Wars. Within LEGO Star Wars, it is a setting based model rather than a single vehicle, presenting Echo Base as a recognisable environment for character driven scenes.
The set includes 773 pieces and 7 minifigures: Chewbacca, Snowtrooper, R-3PO, 2-1B Medical Droid, Princess Leia in Hoth Outfit, Luke Skywalker in Bacta Tank Outfit and Han Solo in Hoth Outfit. The selection combines Rebel characters, a medical droid and an Imperial presence, supporting scenes set inside the base, including medical, command and conflict situations.
It is suited to LEGO Star Wars collectors who want a Hoth location in their display, and to builders who prefer playsets with named characters. On display, it works as a recognisable base section. In the wider Star Wars theme, it sits among location based sets and complements vehicle focused models from the same licence.
