The only thing I would consider a miracle in regards to the Hoth Battle pack is for a Target store in close proximity to put the thing on the shelf for $9.95 and for it to have a map that is completely unlike the crappy, CRAPPY maps that are in the ones other people are opening.
Seriously, the Hoth Battle Pack is the worst SWM product concept to date. And this is coming from someone who thoroughly enjoys playing the Hoth battle event.
Really? Why do you say that?
This is the crux of my frustration, as posted on the WotC board (I know, you can't see that site anymore):
After reviewing the product list for the Battle of Hoth pack I have to say I am incredibly disappointed.
$60-75 for a handful of reprinted pieces, two unique characters I can't get through any other means, and a map with the AT-AT plains map on one side and a map that looks like they copy/pasted Endor bunker onto an AT-AT map and called it Echo Base. That is NOT Echo Base. It's way too small. I can't really see how this is supposed to attach to the AT-AT map in a way that makes it appear like the movie. Better to get the Echo Base custom map that is a better fit, both map-wise and movie wise.
I haven't been this disappointed in a product since the RotS starter box. (Well, okay, the Rebel and Imperials 2-packs were a waste of company resources, but I didn't have to buy them to have the pieces in that set, so I didn't think too much about it.)
I may be alone in my expression here, and that's fine. But as possibly the biggest proponent among SWMers of the Hoth Battle and mass battle games, I couldn't stay silent on this one.
