The Star Wars Lego battle packs are commonly very beloved for collectors who want to build up their armies. This set, 8083 contains four of the Rebel Troopers who battle the Empire on the ice planet of Hoth featured in lesson 5, The Empire Strikes Back. This set is meant to match this wave's other battle pack release which contains four of the Empire's snowtroopers and commanders.
As with most Lego Star Wars battlepacks the set comes with four figures, some accessories and a small car or gun. The four figures in this are 3 Rebel troopers in cold-weather gear and Rebel pilot Zev Senesca.

Zev was most notable for being the snowspeeder pilot who found Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in the icy plains of Hoth after their night out in the cold. He utters the phrase (fans say it with me) "Echo Base, this is Rogue Two. I've found them. Repeat, I've found them." His version of the snowspeeder helmet has been redone for this set as has his torso. The head is slightly distinct to match the uniqueness of this snowspeeder pilot as an actual character.
The Hoth rebel troopers have new helmets with snap on goggles. The goggles can cover the headpiece's eyes so or can be unclipped and located above the brim of their helmet which gives an no ifs ands or buts good look. The regular hoth troopers also come with backpacks while the Hoth Officer has a new mustached headpiece, slightly distinct print on his torso and white legs. Although this commander isn't named I like to think of him as Major Derlin played by Cheers star and Pixar regular John Ratzenberger, the likeness is striking.
The car may not be customary to causal viewers of Star Wars but it is known as a Laser Ice Cutter and can be seen in a cut scene of Empire Strikes Back as Luke Skywalker uses the machine to ward off a wampa attack.
This battle pack may be overshadowed by the matching Empire version 8084, which contains the extremely sought after snowtrooper figures but it has slot going for it in its own right and is worth chasing at the low .99 price point.
