[DFC01]

With the Assault on Hoth set confirmed and the fact that it brings a Snowpeeder, what's the veredict on the 75049? A keeper or not?

Difficult to see, always in motion is the future. People who casually want a Snowspeeder to go with their (probable) Rogue One AT-AT probably won't want to spend $250 on this set just to get it. If someone wants to add to their Hoth Base set, they'd want an additional one. But the growth will be stunted if the rumored ground speeders for Rogue One are T-47s. I don't anticipate much growth in the short term as people wait and see, but if there is a forthcoming AT-AT, people who missed out on the snowspeeder during the last 18 months will want one.
