All your base are belong to us!
Now begins our "Imperial" series in the alphabet. The Imperial
Attack Base is a nice little playset. You’ve got a bunker that can
“blow up” real good,
an ice bridge that can topple, pegs and moving bases for figures,
and what looks like a Gatling-gun type blaster/laser rifle. It only
came in an ESB box. The only thing is, this “Imperial” base is
modeled after the Rebel Echo
base and Hoth trench. The Imperials just stormed the place, they never
set up a base. Oh, well – you were a kid, who cares?
Why should you own this frigid base? Five reasons:
1. Doubles as Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. Okay, Clark’s, you Smallville fanatic.
2. Gun is a nice alternative to the Tri-Pod Laser.3. Nothing like teaching kids trench warfare.
4. Practice your Rebel soldiers’ waving to overhead Snowspeeders. Wait, look out for that AT-AT…ah, too late.
5. Shows dirt like no other Star Wars playset. Go ahead, try playing outside with it.
Backstory:
While there was no Imperial Base
on Hoth, this was slightly modeled after the trench that the Rebels
had set up. Kind of makes you wonder why the Empire just didn’t deploy
Imperial Hover Plows to take care of it.

I know this Imperial attack base thing, its cool, my friend Bob has one and we played with it for a few times. The think is it is missing Saga Legends Imperial Officer action figures, to complement the set and make it a more fun, you should buy a dozen of these Star Wars Imperial Officer soldiers. That will give it the ideal look to your fantasy war scene. right there.
Take it easy.
